    Hey guys! Uncle Ben Eller here. I gotta share the joy i bought for my Kemper Profiler last week, the Top Jimi Brown Sound pack!!! Oh my god, i haven't stopped smiling ever since i got these. They NAIL the classic Van Halen tones from VH1 all the way through 1984. I'm in love.
    I'm playing my 1993 Ibanez RG550 with the Fishman Fluence Classic pickups, which are just perfect for that old school Eddie brown sound. I'm using voice 1, which is the classic PAF. It sounds unreal!!! These pickups are blowing my mind.
    There is NO processing, plug ins, effects, EQ, compression, NOTHING on these tracks. Its the profiles exactly how they are when you buy them, straight into Logic. That's it.
    In the pack, you get 2-4 tones each for Vh1, Vh2, women and children first, diver down, and 1984, each slightly tweaked to get closer to that album's tone. I used my 3 favorites here, the VH1, 2, and 84 profiles.
    If you like what you hear, go buy the profiles for your Kemper! They're not even expensive.
    Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

    It's over 40 years, and players are still trying to figure that sound out! This setup is first rate, but how did Eddie first arrive on his combination of musicianship, guitar, effects, and amp. It is remarkable!

      @dallasbiggz7007 Рік тому

      Yes. This.
      Amazing how far ahead of his time he was.
      He optimized his tone and tempo of the time-based effects to match and enhance his incredible playing.
      All this using 1970s technology! Wow! 😲

Can you please lend any info on what would be the ideal 4x12 and power amp? I would imagine the cleanest headroom SS power amp so there is no shaping of the tube power amp circuit? thx!

    Having seen the original Van Halen countless times, I was always surprised at how bright and single-coil like his sound really was; much cleaner and clearer than those trying to emulate it. This captures that tone perfectly; and your playing is spot on too!

    • @mustardproductions3531
      @mustardproductions3531 6 років тому +6

      Scott Cramer I feel like such a Debbie downer haha but, for you brown sound fans #1 is the fingers. Eddie can play through an MG10 practice amp and get pretty close. 2nd is the guitar. The wood combined with the slanted pickup (bass notes toward the front) huge, nxt the cabinet with 70s G12s, last the amp. The Kemper snap shots it all into the amp when theoretically the amp is the last thing in the chain. The only reason I chimed in is that if your game is the "Brown" sound, this modeler is big ole money. Brown starts at the 1st part of the signal chain and ends with a marshall tube amp. That marshall sounds way different with say Slash and a Les Paul.
