Tough Crowd! But I appreciate that all our nerd ears hear stuff differently. Who knows, that might have been Ed's tone on any given day if you removed as some people already mentioned, the board, the JBL speaker mixed in for top end, and the compressor/EQ on the final mix. I think it sounds as close as to what Pete has going on but I think it is also in the room vs. mic'd. I think I am with the masses though. A cranked Marshall sounds amazing but it isn't THE sound of VH1. Variac is closer but again, for that push, I see an EQ plus his Echoplex giving a push. All those combined gets the lead playing to sound more effortless. This guy here dropped his Superlead down to 60! Pedals for that extra push.
Sounds like a can of bee's.
Just proves that the guy does weird stuff to his amp.
Would be interesting to hear the tubes melt down when he cranks the output running @ 60v.
