Strong hints that Van Halen 1 68 lead was just a slave amp and not the main amp.

Also, I see you are AI-ing this,
'Later Years: After losing his original Plexi in an airline shipment in late 1978, he relied on replacement Marshalls and eventually shifted to modified Marshalls and later the Peavey 5150 for most touring applications, though he continued to use his Plexi for studio recordings until 1991'.

You see, the bit that is left out is the reason he quit taking it out on tour and quit using it in the studio.
Why do you think that was?

Wrong.

The amp didn't sound like it used to any longer. Hence all the people that were employed to fix it. Practically everybody and their brother. Including Friedman at the end there who got the same transformers even as his, I think they were like one number off or something. John Suhr, when he had it, said that it hadn't been touched at all. All of the soldering was intact, untouched.
Friedman accounts for the difference in tone, between Eddie's Marshall and other ones that were around that time, to just a few specific parts.
But even still, when it was so called fixed, it wasn't. Eddie never used it again

* Also 'late '78 tracks. Texas Jam was July 1st 1978

It’s likely his ears didn’t hear like they used to any longer.

Hmm... You know John Suhr had mentioned that when he was looking at Eddie's amp he had Eddie bring his stuff over that would be the variac the guitar he uses whatever. Everything
John said that when Eddie cranked it up he said it sounded exactly like him. So you might be right there.
You know maybe he got addicted to the revenue from his signature amps. Or maybe he got addicted to the distortion I don't know. Could be any of those three things really

Matt Bruck brought Eddies 68 plexi to John Suhr shop not Eddie, Matt bruck also brought Eddie plexi to Stevie Fryette, when Mike Soldano went to 5150 studio he took Eddies plexi to his shop went over the entire amp and retubed it.

Not really, you may want to reread what you wrote. Hell you're even clueless about your own shit. Ha

More lies.

The statement I made about John Suhr came directly from his own mouth. I read it off The Gear Page when he use to call himself Husky dunce

I thought you were shutting up already

More lies ??? Are you ok

 

[lester]

More lies ??? Are you ok

You seem to be leaving out the part of Eddie going to his shop in Lake Elsinore with his gear to demonstrate to John.
I don't give a fuck what Matt Bruck dropped off anywhere. He could drop a brick on his head as far as I'm concerned.

There's a thing that's called lying by omission dum dum. Ever heard of it?
