I was on the Metroamps forums back in the day, and those guys were obsessed with figuring out what Ed did. The thing that sounded closest to the first album is a plexi boosted with an eq and the preamp of that echoplex thing he used as a clean boost, going into a load box that probably had inductors and was reactive, and into another plexi clean, into its preamp.

I was in front of Eddie all night, pressed against the barricade of the stage. VH 3 was the kind of music Ed wanted to put out at the time. "How Many Say I" In my opinion, is a very heart felt bit of music that many people hated. They dont know what its like to be homeless, or deal with relationships honestly. Thats indicative of how cold people are.

..... Regarding the subject matter at time mark 39:00.... Question for Dave. I have a 1971 Marshall Major box head. When I bought it & had it shipped to my home, I had it serviced for the usual stuff (new tubes, check out power supply, make sure everything was in working order, install aftermarket FX loop in the back, master vol, etc..... This was done by Shane at Tubesonic Sacramento) I then had the idea to make this my "EVH-70s era" Major, al-la 1974-78 VH #1, Marshall. The amp was rated for 110 wall amperage (common in that era) but wall amperage today is 120. I discussed with Shane about making the amp biased for that era 110 & using a Variac at 89-98 volts. What would it sound like & would that harm the amp in any way? He said it would be okay to do that. So we did that. After I got it back I bench-tested it & thought it copped the VH #1 guitar tones pretty close (Variac at 98 + master vol. set to no more than 3 & preamp vol. set to 7-8).... Later I asked if Shane had done anything else?. He said, no. Amp was set for 110 wall & all other biasing was set to same for that amp were it used in that time period..... Any thoughts on this?

Radio shack aka Realistic guitar speakers from that era are available all over the internet right now. They have aluminum dust caps like JBLs, and their back frame is red like some of the JBL's, but that's where their visual similarities end. Firstly, JBL's have smooth cones. Radio shacks have the same ribbed cones like Celestions, with a very obvious cone-seam. Secondly, Radio shack speakers have a 3" aluminum cone, where JBL has a 4", which is a pretty obvious visual difference. We have a clear shot of Ed's JBLs from the 78 studio shot with Dave up top, and they have everything I listed above in regards to JBL's. I still don't believe a JBL ever entered the studio, but he was definitely not using Radio shack speakers in any photo we have ever seen. And from my extensive research, all radio shack guitar speakers had the aluminum dust caps so they certainly weren't secretly in any of his cabinets.

If you listen to the Gene Simons Van Helen demo, Eddie's tone is almost more of a ZZ Top sound. I have a feeling this was how the original mix of the first album sounded. There's a Sunset Sound round table video where it's discussed how Donn Landee HATED the initial final mix and insisted on remixing the whole album over a weekend. He clearly did something to it with heavy EQ and ran everything through the Sunset Sound echo chambers where he more than likely goosed the mic preamps to get more saturation. As we all know he hard panned the guitar. I too have read that Eddie didn't care for the result. That's probably why we never hear that tone again after the first album, once Eddie had more say. As an aside, Lee Jackson tells a story how he was at 5150 and the tone coming out of the mic'd cabinet sounded NOTHING like what he heard coming out of the speakers in the control room. He said he was worried because he was commissioned to rewire Eddie's output transformer. Lee said he thought he messed something up, but Eddie liked the result. I agree with a comment in this video about Donn Landee. He has the details for sure.

One is an enormous, strange looking, seemingly nameless head that dwarfs the EVH 5150 sitting below it. Could that possibly be it?

I have always wanted the Friedman’s Jerry Cantrell’s JJ junior 20 watt head since it came out! The 100 watt would be “Dreamy” but way more than I would ever need. I saw AIC open for Van Halen on their first album “FaceLift” in Biloxi,Ms. It was 92’ Biloxi, Ms. and been in Love with the sound of Jerry’s sound especially on their second album “Dirt” has been probably my most played album of my life. Those screaming guitar sounds with Layne’s (R.I.P.) “Angelic” voice was really something to hear “Live”!#AIC#FriedmanAmps

Yes his playing on the Steve Rosen interview should silence DiMeola claim that he was spoiled by gain.

From what I've seen (from the Sunset Sound raw take-outs) VH 1 for EVH was recorded with 2 different mikes. One cab. After that it's post production, and mastering. Both of which can make a huge difference. So trying to get that sound of the record with guitars, amps, and all the knowledge at hand of the used gear in the studio falls short in a way. Especially cos people recorded analogue in those days.... Post production (e.g. mixing)and mastering play a big role often missed by people....

this is what a lot of people have been saying, and I have to slightly agree. the only problem is that a lot of that magic was baked right into his rig. not that his live rig sounded exactly like the studio version.. it never would, but it definitely has that same sound. you can also get a good feel on how his amp distorted/sounded in the room by the drum overhead mic track that Sunset Sound released; it sounds like it's going to explode. There may have been EQ, Compression, and Reverb most notably, but none of that post production stuff was adding the explosive distortion that was part of his amp-in-the-room sound. That kind of post production is really just sprinkles on top of what eddie was working with right there in the room...

@@tanneryordan Very true... Most of it was EVH. But not all... i'm reffering ro the first record from the knowledge I have at hand, the history behind it. But I'm flabbergasted by how not one person takes post-production and mastering into consideration ... Both make a huge difference imho...as well.... .

@@thestrum71 very true. The one nice thing about the first album is that we have that short clip of the unmixed Runnin With The Devil guitar track. Both speakers/mics basically what they sounded like with the mic pre EQ as dave mentions in this video. That is a really good reference for anyone attempting that tone. a lot of people are using JBL speakers, but not comparing it to the original "JBL" though I call it "bright" track because there is still no proof supporting JBL's on the record. as dave kind of says in this video "you can kind of make anything sound like anything" in regards to the speaker. comparing to the unmixed is a must!

(Im I shadow banned or is this comment visible?) Saw VH Twelve Times. Met Edward 3 times. First time was 1979. I wish I had the ticket stubs still. Lost all my T shirts. Only have a video of meeting Edward in 2014 at the Smithsonian in DC. Great interview. I really would like to have Freidman amp because of this. Yes I really play guitar. Best regards.

...no master volume amp is going to sound like Ed's 100w Plexi through a Variac. No matter what guitar Ed was using if he was going through the plexi it still nailed that tone.

Your amps sound way better then Diamond. Sorry not sorry Diamond. I had high hopes for Diamond, spent a ton on one suppose to be such and awesome amp, with loads of gain and bla. I can get better tones out of a Solid State Peavey vs that Diamond especially what I paid for that amp. I have a BE-50 now and it’s the one of best sounding, heaviest, (and cleanest tone I want) that I’ve ever played or heard. So glad you started making amps. It’s also nice to hear all your stories. BYW I don’t really care much for the Peavey 5150 tones, never have. That’s just me. They just ain’t heavy enough, they don’t have the tone I like. Even the cabs, sound nothing like broken in GB’s to me…. Keep on making good amps dude!!! I know you will!!
