Ooooh things are getting tasty around here!!! Filming a deep cut Van Halen video today, and I wanted to get your input on these tones. I think it’s pretty doggone close!!! Original probably has less gain, maybe more mids. I can do the dry guitar left/reverb only right thing like the early records did, but I think that would be weird for a lesson video.

Lemme know what tweaks you’d do! Forgive the low production video, made this quickly on my phone.

Setup:

Suhr Modern w/BKP Holy Diver bridge

Carl Martin Plexitone

Marshall 50w Plexi


UA OX, which is also doing the reverb

As a core sound its amazing (and I'd love a modeller-agnostic discussion on how to get there). I'd say that the **reverb** EVH has has more high mid/high fizz, and less lower. Maybe consider the value for pre-delay on the reverb too (though I think its just the L/R thing) You could give the lesson while "dry" (easier to present concepts) - but prove the tone/final effect by widening it out to L/R and turning "on" the reverb. Sometimes what you think is played isn't really what's played, and the answer is often a combination of "multiple tracks", "Delay" or "reverb".

Dang that is close if not spot on! Of course the playing is dope as well!
