    Van halen 1 choke wasn't a c1999 choke

    Because Ed had a ‘68 with an out-of-spec mid pot, and he variaced it. No one else had that.

    ‘Cause they didn’t have Donn.

    Van halen 1 choke wasn't a c1999 choke

    You can listen to Ed's unproduced, scratch-mixed outtakes. They are all over YT, leaked out of Sunset. His amp is very good, it is a very good tone. But the "fairy dust" was in Donn's "mix it like a vocal" technique that Templeman demanded. You put a lot of mids to tape, insuring the dynamics...

    Van halen 1 choke wasn't a c1999 choke

    My old ‘68, my Metro 12000, and my Metro MPII all got/get there. Remember the Pultec in the back end.

    Van halen 1 choke wasn't a c1999 choke

    Chokes make a difference in feel. Holy grail hunting has romanced men since the dawn of time. All that said, a stock ‘68 will get you there. One with the out-of-spec mids pot will really get you there. One with a variac-styled voltage lowering capability and a decent PPIMV will do it without...

    Weird, and I love Steve, but the filtering and NFB was stock12000 as I remember.

    Van Halen 1 and 2 gear and racks in HD

    Yes. I was there on the Metro forum and I used to work with the band in in 90’s and he passed every authentication test.

    I just think he can’t support multiple models when he’s booked through next year with the MPII.

    Musikraft Neck Profiles

    Conner is a very good dude. I have some stuff he cut and it is excellent. He responds to DMs on the Locke insta. The neck on the 5150 replica is Locke and is just perfect.

    SYN50, IICP, Ultra Lead initial thoughts

    Superb review. I’d still have my Syn50 but needed a silent and portable option. The sounds were outstanding.

    Tone Master Pro (and modelers etc in general)

    So can you send the IR’s to the XLR outs and send pre-cab/IR sounds to the power amp to go to your cabs?
