I thought that one of the most preferred tones of EVH the man himself were based around marshall plexi which to me sounds suuuuuuper bright.. I always thought that the brown tone should resemble somewhat of a darker tone, less piercing, fuller, with ooomph and sag and 3D textures..
Me too brother… In my opinion, VHII is the brownest of tones ever… It's not my favourite album, my favourite album is fair warning… But as far as brown sound guitar tone, ITS Van Halen II
VHll has a few tones that I thought were on par with VH1 . SGMAD , Bottoms Up , LUTS and DOA were fairly bright and cutting but kinda lack the sizzle of VH1 . But yes that album is pretty brown
i'm going to agree with Squarehead. VHII is my favorite VH tone. Of course VH1 is wicked also. The 2nd-6th albums all sound like a kick ass Super Lead being pushed somehow as far as they can go. But they all sound like a real amp being recorded. VH1 sounds like there is just something else going on there. It's weird it sounds like nothing that came before it and nothing that came after it, even by VH.
