Every Piece of Eddie Van Halen’s 1978 Pedal Rig- Fun Vid

[Kapo_Polenton]

Done a million times but fun to see the subtle use of each effect brought in and out and a tasty jam at the end. Yes there are 10 guys who could play it better but this was fun anyway and I like that subtle chorus that a Flanger set low can do. Prefer it to an actual chorus most times. Also, I love my GE-10. So good with a Marshall.

 

[GearGasms]

Yeah I saw this and it was excellent!

 

[harddriver]

Less talking and more playing might have been better but the video shows what the original signal chain brought to the table. Anyone truly interested in this tone needs to watch this video and take notes.

Good Vid Kapo!

Let’s see who can get more hate on RT; Mason from Vertex or Kyle Bull.

It was cool seeing Lincoln Brewster, the sounds were very cool

 

[ewill52]

Lincoln is a monster player and they nailed the tone. I get the Mason hate from the wah debacle, but honestly i'm over it and he does some cool stuff now.

 

[CarlF]

Very cool! Saw it earlier today

Mason sure got the right guy to demo his pedal board.

The one pedal I would charge on that pedal board that would be the boss ge10 Edward got that pedal in Japan June of 1978 during the 78 tour and the last time he used it was The Day on the Green concert in July 78, I would replace the Boss Ge 10 with the MXR 6 band eq that’s the eq he started with. During the recording of Van Halen II the Boss Ge10 was never used but the MXR 6 band was.The black and white photos that you see the boss ge10 are from the 78 Japan tour. The 1978 Van Halen tour started march 3,1978.

Also as i saw in old pics ed using a jtm45/100. His 68 lead OT was perhaps taken from the jtm45/100 which was then transformed into a power amp for the lead...

No he doesn't.

I lost respect for Vertex when they got busted for rebadging BBE Ben Wahs and selling them for a $200 up charge. I don’t care how much apologies, to even think that was a good idea speaks volumes about his underlying character. They could have marketed them as modded or whatever but chose to pretend it was their product.

Yep, that is absolutely dogshit behavior and anyone who trusts that asshole or buys his bullshit after that needs a LMHP

He didn't even mod the wahs, he just rebadged them ROFL

Then he tried to charge Bonermaster over a grand to wire his pedalboard. I think JB told him to get F'ed, which IMO is an appropriate response.

How much you wanna bet the cable he charges like 50$ a foot for is some cheap chinese bullshit too?

Dude is a complete scam artist

100% scam artist. Him and and one or two other makers are such d-bags I wouldn't use their stuff if it was given to me for free.

Never get why people rag on Kyle Bull. Guy is out there trying different things and just chugging away on amps. dime a dozen sure but he doesn't annoy me as much as some of the other guys out there.

Ouch! Never heard this story about the rebadging. That's hitting rock bottom and would make it hard for me to trust anything they offer after that.

I'm guessing it's his obsession with safety glasses during amp demos. I have to wonder if he doesn't have an endorsement from Grainger.
