I think Ed Van Halen was doing a model on VHI.

There is nothing that sucks all the joy out of playing guitar for me than the thought of having to use a digital rig. I think I would rather just quit playing music altogether. Analog shoelaces are underrated.

"Yeah so it's just the [insert trendy boutique Klone here] going straight into the Kemper with the three big Strymons in the loop!"
Fun rig, definitely worth making a video over.
Don't worry I didn't forget to like and subscribe.

I watched this earlier. I'm not a guy who has ever chased Eddie's tone but this was really cool. It was interesting and I actually learned a few things.
I'm using an FM3 at the moment and I really enjoy it but I've said it before and I still stand by the statement that tones were more interesting when people had to fight for them a bit more.
A funny thing about guys hiding their gear, I was listening to a vid about EVH and Randy Rhoads and why they didn't care for each other and they said that Randy liked EVH but got pissed off cause he asked him how he kept his guitars in tune with a trem with no looking nut and EVH wouldn't tell him. It's kinda funny. I don't know much but I like to help when I can but then again these guys were competing against each other for a bit.

I posted vid of Dave Friedman stating the brown sound was an old plexi and variac; apparently Dave had the chance to look inside EVH's amp? IDK, I've never chased EVH sound.

So many products, ideas, legends and rumors and misleading info on the VH1 guitar sound, IDK.
Agreed - I like it better then with the mystery and mystique out there. Now everything is freely available. Most guitar dudes on the internet don't even make real music anyway. They just demo pedals and shit. I understand people have to make a living but it bores me. Of course I am old so what do I know

While I enjoy my tube amps, I think my computer plugin rig sounds great, better than most digital modelers I've owned. To get the same sounds with my tube amps would take so many signal processors and pedals it's just not practical for me.
dig what you dig.

They are more interesting if they show their presets and how they set up their sounds, like how John Petrucci showed his actual preset and talked about how he uses it.

Yes he did...but not until many years later, certainly not in the late 70s when he was getting the tones most search for. This goes for anyone else who has looked inside...Soldano, Van Wheelden etc.
They all say 'it was stock except for a couple strange values' here and there...but any mod Jose 'might' have done to it, was long gone by the late 80s/early 90s when anyone else poked their head inside.
