Van Halen Brown Sound with Same Rig as Eddie -- Live 1968 Marshall in Studio
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 січ 2023
- I recently acquired and restored a 1968 Marshall Super Tremolo. I thought I'd try it in my Brown Sound setup. I'm happy. :-)
Rig:
Boss GE-7 with upgraded opamps substituting for my original 6-Band MXR EQ, which is excessively noisy for some reason
1968 Marshall Super Tremolo (stock configuration with tremolo circuit disabled)
Vintage Sylvania 6CA7 power tubes
VARIAC set to 90V
1967 Celestion 20W G12M Greenback doing most of the work
Vintage JBL D120F adds some lower mids
Shure SM57s
Lindy Fralin Pure PAF humbucker with slight overwind (original PAFs aren't beefy enough)
Kemper profiles of this rig will be coming soon...
My left ear enjoyed it
Ed's guitar is panned left on the album.
😂
😂😂😂
I think he faked it myself
@@dsvet Right... Clever
That is THE sound. It's incredible. I'm a really big fan of the 5150 amps but this is really it when it comes to Ed's sound.
5150 is not even close
this, is one of those sentences, when it is really important to use commas.
@@johnmarshall3903 yeah,the amp he helped design and tour with isn’t even close to his sound
Lol I don’t think he ever meant that amplifier for this sound. He obviously evolved past this in his sonic journey. I am continually impressed by peoples ignorance of this simple fact. 5150 was never meant to copy the old crunchy brown sound. I mean don’t get me wrong. I love this sound. Always will. However, I love my original Blockletter 5150 for entirely different reason, exactly for what he meant it for.
@@ivanzivanovic4013 Yeah the magic is in the player, not the gear but we as guitar players can't seem to help falling in love with the old gear ;). The classical world is proof of that with their old instruments and such.
As close as you are going to get without Ed's hands. Great tone.
Ed does a lot of subtle things with his hands, because he’s Ed.
this is the most authentic VH tone i have ever heard, (and i have listened to a million)
Agreed, but give mine a listen too! It’s on my channel
it sounds good but its not it. its missing alot of harmonics .ed used a load box built by Jose Arredondo with the variac. ed didnt use a boss e.q.
he's not doing the pick scrape > finger slide before each C>D of the main riff either@@kingkrollinvention
Seeing VH 42 years ago was a mind blowing trip from start to finish. Eddie ran, jumped, played his skinny little ass off, and never missed a beat.
Uncanny resemblance. Absolutely spot on
Oh man. I knew Lindy back when I lived in Richmond decades ago. I've witnessed him hand winding those pickups. Very cool to see his name come up here.
Nice touch at the end, bro 💯
I can heasr NO difference from the Eddies sound... great job man
I’m drooling! That’s one sweet amp. Exactly the tone of VH 1. Luv it!
RIP Eddie Van Halen. Sorely missed.
That's the sound. I'm happy, but sad because that's going to be near impossible to put together now. Nothing else I've heard sounds like this.
Awesome sound! Nailed it. Great playing as well. You can really tell that you love what you do. Keep up the great tone search and producing these awesome profiles!!! 🤘👌👍
I saw the 1980 VH Invasion tour. Eddie was in his prime then, IMHO! This is amazing. The raw brown tone from the correct amp, correct voltage, and correct speakers! Beautiful.
You ESPECIALLY nailed the EQ settings! 👍 SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL!
Such a joy to listen and see you playing a classic tune. Long live the mighty Van Halen.
I listened to V Halen 1 and 2 today. I'm a 35 year guitar teacher. 80s kid. At first I was listening to the tone, how did it match up. Isthe Eddie swing in there......then I realized I forgot and was just listening to Van Halen. Great job man. That takes a lot of time, research, talent, work, money, good ears, patience, etc. Hats off to you, TJ.
SO good, Jimi! I listened to it on max volume, the way it was intended to be heard 🤘 You're like a brilliant mad scientist constantly seeking the secret to authentic tones!
Thanks man. I feel like a forensic audio engineer.
@@TopJimiStudios Make sure to email me when the profile is available for sale !!
@@TopJimiStudiosis the profile for this out yet? I want to get it and your other evh brown sound profile, but I really want this one. Kemper btw.
Yes! Nailed it! Also a killer collection of amps you have behind you.
I had never cried over a guitarist passing away but I did when Eddie died.
Great tone. Best I’ve heard for sure
Nailed it and with an ESP guitar!
Eddie would be surely proud of your tone ❤
He’d applaud the effort and playing but Ed always hated this tone. Billy Corgan told him once it was his favorite tone and Ed responded by saying “Why!? That album sounds like shit!”
@@AeonOfAwareness Randy Rhoads was not happy with his tone, either, on Ozzy's monstrous first two landmark albums.
Excellent! His Kemper profiles are incredible. Definitely some of the best out there.
What an amp! I am currently gathering parts to build my 68' 12xxx. The best tone ever. You can really hear it's full majesty with that VH rythm section playing behind it.
Man, that's bad ass. Sounds fantastic! Great job.
Sounds AMAZING Jimi! Looking forward to the Kemper profiles!
Great job! Playing and tone spot on!
It looks promising ...intrigued by the additional sounds you'll come up with with this new ..set up 🙂
Does my heart good to see guys of all generations paying tribute to arguably the best rock guitarist of alltime and my childhood here Mr. Edward Van Halen. I'm certain he would thrilled to see all these video tributes in his honor. I also hope Valerie..Alex and Wolfgang watch these too to pick up their spirits whenever they feel down. The love respect and dedication shown by his fans will never wane. Wish I could have met Ed in person. Besides shaking his hand and thanking him for making the musical soundtrack to my life inevitably I would have asked if he ever ate any brown M and M's behind Dave's back on the road touring lol. Rest in peace Eddie....you are sorely missed but your music will outlast us all.
Omg. Man you've really got that dialed in. Well done. The holy grail.
Wow, that is absolutely spot on! Great stuff
Beautiful and Brown!!!!!!!
I would just like to salute you for not playing the chorus triads with vibrato like 99% of the rest of UA-cam. :)
I think so much of the power of the guitar part of the chorus is just letting those chords ring with that incredible sustain and tone. I think a lot of people try to mask the dissonance of the major third between the third and second strings when the second string isn’t slightly detuned by using a lot of vibrato.
Minor point but all this stuff adds up!
Thank you. Definitely gotta detune that B string.
Wow, just found your channel. This is the best VH tone I have heard. You knocked it out of the park. Now, tell me about that "circles" guitar with the reverse ESP banana headstock. I've never seen that. Great job!!!
It’s one of my Frankenstein builds I was doing for a few years. EVH body, custom neck, original Floyd Rose, Fralin PAF.
Sounds great. Very nice job. I remember seeing pictures that were taken during the recording of VH 1 in the studio. I believe Eddie used a 2 X 12 cabinet but you definitely
have the right speakers and amp. Very cool.
Dude, this just makes me smile!
Best VH1 sound recreation I've heard.
Damn, this is so good. Looking forward to the profiles
Looking forward to hearing the Kemper profiles!
That is SO dead on! Stoked right now.
Well done! Sounds _great!_ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻
Wow - nailed that tone.
Yeah man, sounds epic. Great playing and yep that setup is awesome. Definitely doing the EVH sound a lot of justice.
Looking forward to your profiles! Sounds great.
f'n amazing, great job!! that's probably the closest to Eddie's tone that I've heard anyone come up with. I'd love to hear you play some more songs through that rig. Nice job man!!!
Must have been fun to do
Sounds great. Looking forward to the profile.
Nailed it. Perfect tone!
Great tone! Perfect playing! And watching you I just realized I’ve been playing this wrong since ‘78.
no its just him playing it very wrong
Sounds great! The boss GE-10 is great too if the GE-7 is noisy.
Good to see ya brother awesome as usual
Outstanding!!!
Many have attempted what you've just done perfectly in my opinion.
The others have failed for the most part.
You didn't.
5 out of 5 Stars my friend.
I'm turning my outlandish praise mode off now😀😎
Well done Dude, well done. Hat's off to you.
Yep, you got it dialed. That first sustained chord you hit, I went to immediate stank-face. You know, that face you make when something rocks, and it's just RIGHT in the world. Basically stayed that way until the camera panned around and then it became the sly grin. Went back to stank face later. Nice work.
THIS is closest to THE sound I have ever heard anyone replicate... Incredible...
Love that neck on the body!!! Awesome I had the circles but had to sell - offer I couldn’t turn down
Best EVH tone on youtube
Man that sounds great!!
SICK!!! Those bias grids are grilling some electrons baby!!!
Sounds outstanding
Wow that’s a great tone 👍🏼🎸
That sounds really good!
Well that was spot on! Smoooooth!
Very detailed and precise, Thanks
Looking forward to the kemper pack 🤘
Years ago, i've seen a almost close setup using a JMC800 series 1959 head, Boss overdrive peal for booster, Rockman attenuatore and HUSH, alesis Quadaverb, BBE Sonic maximizer and a ASA poweramp going thru a 4x12
Killer tone! I have the 100w super lead that is 38 units before Eddie's 12xxx so I do know the tones that could be had from those monsters! Superb clip!
Very cool. I based my restoration on photos of Super Lead 12267. Is that yours?
@@TopJimiStudios Yes it is! Cool man! I also restored and co-owned 12257 with a friend back in the early 00s. These 12xxx amps really are THE Marshall to have.
Absolutely Perfect.
Thanks. I was really enjoying this. I think the neighbors called the law.
Cant wait for profiles
Damn, that is a rad tone.
Most accurate tone on UA-cam
Ive heard that tone from many differenent rigs. Its not rocket science but there is nothing like a vintage marshal
Sounds DAMN Good!
Sounds great. Kinda makes you wonder, I've known about the way that the wall power effects a tube amp for quite some time but for years I didn't. It's really so strange for us in the modern world to even consider something like that!
Absolutely killer!
I have the Top Jimi patch in my Kemper and it's just badass. I don't know what kind of voodoo and sorcery was used but it's the only patch I don't dare touch. I don't change a thing! And this is also killer. If I close my eyes...magic...
I'd say you've nailed it.
Cool sound and you came up with your own guitar solo.
you nailed it
This is too good, man.
Beautiful!🥹
Chills down my back!
Woah that sounds killer
I got one of these heads with the tremolo disabled. (I guess a don’t have to get it fixed)
And I have a power soak.
And some matching 412 cabinets.
And a Kramer Frankenstrat!
I know what I’m doing tomorrow!
Love this! I want one!
Nailed it!
Did you see the news about liquid profiles now?
Damn that is on point.
Yep, you've nailed it.
*Awesome replication Top Jimi Studios. 🎯 💯%*
Spot on!
Tasty AF...kudos!
Sounds great!!
NAILED IT!
any update on when we may expect this pack for Kemper? Can't wait for this one.
incredible tone, best i've seen at least!
That's a sweet guitar.
Unreal! Like as close as it gets. Also what room sound did you use ?
Yup. Nailed it. Thanks!
Your other Evh profiles are spot on. I can't imagine these being better. Would you do a side by side of the profiles?
