The nasally sound u hear is that line 6 recording preamp, I had one and all my amp recordings turned out same way, when I got my new preamp it was a huge difference!! It's the line 6 preamp not the amps!!!!
I Agree bronco,Dave Friedman and wade did a great job voicing that motor city 2nd degree blackbelt pickup for the EVH tone!!im sure glad Dave told me about it!!
After all the pickups I have tried the motorcity 2nd degree black belt is still the best for that vintage vanhalen tone to my ears!no I don't have the skills of Peter thorn to play VH but I think the tone is very close!!never had much luck with that dimarzio super distortion like a lot of other...
Thank u!im adding c5 brakes wright now and got a kenne bell on the way!the front has to come down some,with the engine swap it really lighten the front end up!You can see more about my build here!
