Hey y'all!

Just for you guys, a peek behind the curtain at my quest to recreate my favorite tone EVER, the early Van Halen "Brown Sound"!!!

My tone is a bit hotter and a little bassier than the OG, sure, but MAN I'm happy with it! And there's a little secret to nailing it that you'll learn towards the end of this video.... its RAD.

I forgot to put my Plexi and Carl Martin pedal settings in the video, so snag those below. 

Enjoy! Thanks for all you do!!!

Hee ben! Great video man, good stuff showing us the details on EVH's tone. Now I seemed to recall that you have an EVH 5150 EL34 50watt amp head in the studio. Why did you choose to hunt down the EVH tone with a Marshall instead of just using the EVH amp? Is it for historical purposes (to use something similar to what he used) or is it tonal? I'm curious as I have the EVH amp and loving every second of its sound. Thanks again and keep em cummin!
