Getting "Brown"

[ibmorjamn]

This guy might be on to something.
Good tone.

Interesting watch, but he just ends up with a tone that any decent modern high-gain amp can deliver, which at the end of the day was all that EVHs sound ever really was.

Ed was always messing with stuff.
I liked the video. So many good ones on there about the "Brown sound"

This guy goes deep into EVH

There is this too. I met a guy that had a old rig set up to cut the voltage on his Marshall. It worked and he could play Van Halen pretty well.

I loved his tone in the first couple of albums, but I have never chased it

I have not either but it is a popular topic.

Yes it most definitely is.

A good starting point would be Marshall Super Lead 100 serial number 10000 to 12000 year 1968

Start Jimmi Hendrix modded Super Lead 100 stock 56K resistor Hendrix and EVH amps 33K same as the JTM 45/100 1966
and the treble pot changed from 25K to 50K they both played their amps on 10
I own Marshall Super Tremolo 100 has the 33K resistor stock 50K treble pot was used to record Soundgarden super unknown
serial number 10412 ST it is my understanding Marshall just moved to the new factory and the 10K through 12K serial number amps
were made for less than 90 days I have never seen a 11,000 serial number Marshall ever.

I'll take 2 and some hearing aids for the aftermath. Lol
Actually my favorite sound would come later from a JMP and after that the JCM 800 2204.
I like what Edward did , like Mitch said. First 2 recordings but I don't worship the ground he walked. Lol

The other thing is if you actually watch the video is the Variac.
