    i won a satin Dio concert tour jacket the day of the Last in Line concert for being the right caller on a local metal radio show on Oahu. Yngwie was the opener for the show supporting his Marching Out LP and i moshed from the lodges seating to the front of the stage and watched him play...

    Van Halen *FULL SHOW* 1978 September 8. 8mm - 4k - Niagara Falls Convention Center on September 8, 1978.

    the very strange twist to this revelation in my world is that the first time i ever tried tapping was on a ukulele with a pick when trying to figure out the *sound* ace frehley was making on the newly released 1977 kiss alive II during his “Shock Me” solo. jump to 5:07 this was before i was...

    Van Halen Brown Sound 68 Marshall Super Tremelo -- Top Jimmy Studios

    personally, it’s not just trying to absolutely clone that sound. i’ve spent a good amount of time, effort and money going down the vh tone road to conclude i don’t care enough to be that forensic nor will i ever be EVH. but if i can get in the ballpark of the attack, sustain, clarity, and...

    So if Ed used the neck PAF pickup from his ES335 what magnet did Gibson use in the neck p/u?

    glad you got your amp before his tragic passing. Mark was a cool dude and awesome player with great ears for tone. Bummer he left so soon.

    Favorite VH brown sound in a pedal solutions?

    you did a great job designing that pedal. i’ve not even gone the extra steps of dialing in a w/d and getting crazy with the proper delay sound, etc. i just stuck a dd-2 behind it and bingo! i’ve played a TON of pedals into the Peacemaker over the years. the ones i remember: tonebone classic...

    Favorite VH brown sound in a pedal solutions?

    @griff10672 Atomic Punk update! After plugging into the hi sens input and turning up the Peacemaker treble volume a fair bit to involve the power section like so: i had to throttle the volume with the Rockcrusher at -20db, dial down the power dampening on the Peacemaker way back, and manage...

    So if Ed used the neck PAF pickup from his ES335 what magnet did Gibson use in the neck p/u?

    as the AV Director for a large church i can tell you the temperature shifts in SoCal could really affect the sound of our system.

    Favorite VH brown sound in a pedal solutions?

    nicely voiced pedal with the plexi chomp in the mids and some tasty sweet spots on the dials. when using any OD into a clean amp, which has been my long standing preferred pedalboard method live, i’ve always relied on boosting it with another pedal (comp or boost) to push the feel into the solo...

    So if Ed used the neck PAF pickup from his ES335 what magnet did Gibson use in the neck p/u?

    i installed both the 57 classic and the + in my les paul deluxe. they were ok but much brighter in a harsh way in that guitar. when i ordered my 450 i spoke to Tom about other pickups i’d used and liked. we got to the 57+ and i shared my experience of it being kinda thin and scratchy compared...
