Van Halen - Balance Tone - Don't Tell Me Cover

[Guitar G]

Axe FX3 version of Ed's Balance album tone. Used a Friedman model as the basis for the tone.

Sounds spot on, I think this is EVH's best post-1984 tone.

Strum the beginning WITHOUT the overplay of the actual song in the background.

Thanks. It's not perfect, but to my ears close. There's a lot of studio magic that gets done to the album tracks after they are cut.

Here is the main guitar stem from my recording up thru the first chorus - no other tracks from the video are included.

Yep. I think you nailed that jangly crunch thing Ed does after the intro. That tight but loose thing

Great job and thanks for sharing.
