Killed it...

I really love your vids. The search for the holy grail of tone.

I truly think this channel is going to blow up. It deserves to. You've got the makings of something good

Will the 5150 amps give you the exact Brown Sound?

Really nice job the tone sounds spot on to my ears. great playing too!

Geez that sounds spot on IMO! Great video and really nice playing.

Great job Mate !

As a tone chaser myself, I love videos like this. That said, I think EVH could have played through any guitar and any amp and still sound like EVH.

I have always thought he used small fender deluxe ,princetons crankd wide open for main sound then used marshLls for stage volume also years ago i seen a picture of him clearly setting up a rack mounted princeton or deluxe

I would argue that EVHs rhythmic and harmonic vocab is hugely influenced by Pete Townsend. Particularly the sus 4 chords resolving to the major, plus the who wrote a bunch of their songs in major keys. It's funny that EVH would always sing the praises of EC and JP (whilst always getting in a back handed compliment) but I think Townsends playing influenced him more than anybody.

That amp sounds phenomenal!

it wasn't in any amp, it was in his fingers.

Hang 'em high sounded fantastic!

I only heard Eddie Live two times in my life The first time the better of the two. Like most of us back in the day we would try to modify our Guitars and amps to make them somehow sound better.I heard he used two Alnico and two ceramic magnet speakers in each cab and variac Of course the Magic of his fingers. I only got up to 3:39 here you might say something about this.I can say this back in the 70s My Marshall Major was producing some weird cross frequencies one going up and one going down at the same time. Am thinking maybe I had polarity reversed on one of the speakers.O 6CA7 can take anything you throw at it. Work horse. I am hearing your playing now. I see what you mean about the scooped sound. Almost sounds like a wah wah cocked in the mid. Enjoyed your playing. c]8-)

Best cover I’ve seen so far🔥🔥!! That swing is a real tricky one to master but you pretty much nailed it, great work!

Eddie’s Brown sound was actually green, with little brown M&M’s in the middle.

Would be great to make aa video about your modded 70s strat 😊 Cheers

Never heard it explained that well. Thanks 🙏

Thank You for your research. Finding out about Angus Young and how he used the Shaffer Vega wireless in the studio (Back in Black) and what that did for his sound shows how a few subtle details can be game changers for TONE.

REMEMBER THAT EDEARD WAS A HUGE CLAPTON DISCIPLE AND IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE TRUE BROWN SOUND ORIGINATOR LISTEN TO CREAM ERA CLAPTON. The brown sound…..

EVH's sound was revolutionary for his time and amazing considering the limited equipment he had. But modern versions of it that improve on it are a little more smooth and less ice picky harsh to the ears. Many of those versions actually improve greatly upon his original sound but nobody wants to admit that because that would be sacrilegious! 🤣🤣🤣 But of course if he had had our current technologies... he would have done much better too.

This was GREAT! Thanks for posting! I slave my amps too.....I use a Suhr Reactive Load to load the amp, and then send a balanced line out to my effects, and then into an Avantone CLA-200 solid state power amp. I like this power amp a lot because it has a "dark" quality to it, like the old '70's mosfet power amps had, like the HH V800. I would love to feed the balanced line out to an EQ to see how I can shape the could differently! Thanks!

You’re getting very close. I think Ossie is right eddie might have slaved the plexi into vox ac30 and bandmasters. In his early days pictures you can see that he always has a vox ac50 sometimes a vox ac30 top boost and a jtm45 close to the plexi. Who knows what entered in the studio that day. However the unmixed version of ATBL proves that the setup had this thick sound without any studio modification. And Who knows how much also did Jose impacted eddies tone. I’m a great partisan of the Jose mods for one reason : the Dlr Steve vai Jose modded amp played by Pete thorn sounds extremely close to eddies sound. I’ve never seen Pete getting this close to the tone.

The up strokes and rhythm is impossible to copy

Love it dude! Totally new information and new approach. I think you nailed it. Add the plate on the right and it's there

Great FEELING man! NICE!

I'm probably the odd guitarists out but I think Ed's best tone was with the block letter Peavey 5150...As soon as my music store got one in the early 90's and I plugged in, I bought it!! Bottom end that will blow your head off!!

🔥🔥🔥

Biggest mistake I ever made was selling a Fender Bassman head I had got for $350 and traded it in for a Marshall TSL602. I was chasing that Marshall overdrive but didn't realize that I was playing the Bassman wrong. You get the best overdrive sound but just cranking every knob and using the volume on your guitar. The guy in guitarcenter showed me after I already did the trade and he was testing that my amp worked.

This is a really cool video man, I like the seperation between the different signals and how you showed it was mainly in the recording recording/lessin the box. -Which i think alot of modern recordings lack in this age. -Looking forward to more weird guitar nerd crap. PEACE

That’s the SOUND!

lol...I play the drums...all those boxes are black magic to me lol

How did you manage to have a 22nd fret installed? Can you play the high E comfortably at that fret?

Of all the Marshall copycats I have never heard one that has that top end glass that a Plexi has.By the way “Hang em High” sounded great.!!!

I read in one interview where Ed said it was so simple really, and I wondered if it wasn't using another amp as a sort of a distortion/gain pedal! Like the world's most complex stomp box! I didn't figure out all the things you present here, but just the basic idea. This sure is fun!

I've always heard an extra sizzle so it had to be something!! Particularly on VH1.

And here I was wondering if you had seen any of Jim Gaustad's videos and you name drop him just a few minutes in!

Dude just stumbled upon this vid and as a producer/engineer u absolutely friggin nailed the tone. It’s a subtle batch of such specific overtones! Seriously well done mate🎶

Joe Satriani should be consulting you before he goes on tour playing Van Halen songs.... seriously.

The panned reverb here is doing a lot of heavy lifting too. Excellent vid.

So yes and no. Maybe not in the context of this much gain and reverb, but those DIs all sounded tremendously different. Put them through a clean amp and tone is well different.

We may never know the full story and chain, but this gets close enough for rock n' roll and is one of the top three forms I've seen. Perhaps the closest to perfected. To honor king Edward, we must find our own voice and create our own art standing firmly on his shoulders.

My Smith Strat looks identical except white pickguard.

Please 🙏 make a capture of this and your other rigs to TONEX! I'm sure it'll sale like hot cakes!

absolute over the top video. My mind is reeling from the amount of in-depth detail that you shared. thanks so much.

I believe you have unraveled the mystery. Well done.

Hello! I'm new to your channel. I'm here because someone referenced you/this video on the Fractal Audio forum. I Love your attention to detail! It really matters. Love your playing & tones!!!

I discovered the importance of locking down the strings at the bridge after realizing the locking nut alone didn’t solve the out of tune issues alone. I knew about those locking saddles, they’re cool but a little expensive. I invented a locking system built into the BLOCK, locks down your strings like a Floyd Rose. No cutting strings either. It works with any standard bridge, on PRS bridges and 2 point Strat bridges too. I have 5 guitars using these blocks, seen on my TremDoctor channel. My Mexi Strat does not use a Floyd Locking nut and stays in tune and I’m a heavy trem user. Don’t forget to use PRS screws on any 6 point Trem, HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Goddamn! It has the sizzle that Ed's tone had back then.

Put a super distortion in it (Dimarzio)
