Demo video I made for Jalen Guitar, it's a replica of EVH's infamous pickup from his bumble bee guitar that was pictured in VAN HALEN II
Measures 9 K, Alnico 8 magnet, has a overwound PAF aggressive attack to it!

 
You could make a pickup made out of dog shit sound great. Good job as always.

Clean that fingerboard!
 
Good tones and nice playing man!

What was in your chain?

Agree...it sounds PHENOMENAL!
 
Al, I've been in awe of your playing for the last 10 years since I heard of you over at splawn

What a fuckin killer guitarist you are bro!!!!
The pick up sounds good too....
 
Al has the best EVH tone and chops I have ever heard. Would love to know the signal path also. I can never get reverb to sound well with distortion.

Him, Erock and MatrixClaw are who turned me onto Splawn

Awesome vid Al, as always. :rock:
 
I'm sorry to be a pain in the ass....the "echo Plex" for the tc mini....is it one if the "multiple prints" by TC or an artist? I'm terrible at navigating there site/app.
 
Killer clip Al!

I noticed up high your neck is really dirty where no one ever plays and really clean where everyone plays. :)
 
Sounds totally awesome and wicked chops my friend. :thumbsup:
 
I dig how it looks. That makes me want it.

How does it sound for non-VH stuff?

I don't think those words have ever been used in the same sentence on a guitar forum. ;)

I used my tone print app on my phone to install it long ago, I can't remember who's tone print it was though..

I have the same problem with my HOF and Corona Minis. I have them dialed in just the way I want them, but would like to experiment with other Tone Prints. But I would have no idea how to get back to the ones I've had on there for years now.

I bought a cheap patch cable that allows me to manipulate tones on the PC /software and then save it. Name the "print" what you want, save it, and you can always (in theory) get back to it.
