Cool! Thanks for digging that up!

Yeah. As I said, it’s been a looooooooooong time since I read those first 2 GP interviews. As for getting the classic early VH tone, the closest I’ve ever gotten to the tone that inspired me to play guitar, is with my Bogner Helios 100, on 30w setting, no preamp EQ, hot input, 70s setting...

Ed mentioned that Marshall PA amp in his 1980 Guitar Player interview. It was the house PA amp from the Rose Palace in Pasadena. Interesting. *i’m probably remembering this wrong, it’s been over 40 years…

Play acoustic guitar.

In no order; Van Halen II-it’s the album that made me want to play guitar. Allan Holdsworth-“IOU” Jeff Beck-“There and Back” Yngwie Malmsteen-“Rising Force” Lynch Mob-“Wicked Sensation” Steve Vai-“Passion & Warfare” Racer X-“Second Heat” Eric Johnson-“ACL ‘88” Haji’s Kitchen-s/t: the album that...

At about 3:08, Holdsworth doing his subtle whammy bar magic. However, Mr.Vai earned my undying fandom with this little number.

I’d like to think that every time I sit down to play/practice, I get a little better. Even after playing for 45+ years, I am trying to play new things.

Yep. I use the Eventide Micropitch.

Oh, what color is the guitar itself? Ibanez Deep Tide Blue.

It’s sorta darkish. Not cosmo black.

Fender Super Reverb

Friedman 4x12 with V30s and Greenback 25s

If you can find one, I’d recommend either a Majik Box “Rocket Fuel”, or the Majik Box Jake E Lee signature OD. I alternate using them in front of my Suhr PT100, and Bogner Helios 100.

I don’t hate it. But, it sounds like an outtake from an ‘80s Hesrt album.(?)

Suhr PT100se Bogner Helios 100w Rivera m100

The boost side of the Majik Box “Rocket Fuel”, with drive circuit of the Majik Box Jake E Lee OD pedal?

Wasn’t it a couple of Marshall “Club and Country” combo amps running stereo?(with judicious use of effects, of course)
