Van Halen 1984 Brown Sound with Same Rig as Eddie -- Live Amp in Studio
Just a fun video playing through my 1984 rig to a Drop Dead Legs backing track found on UA-cam. I didn't embarrass myself trying to play Ed's outro solo. :-)
Check out our Kemper and TONEX profiles here: www.topjimi.com
Here are a couple great vids showing how to play this tune:

    Do you have a video on how you applied your variac? I’ve done some research and saw it’s potentially dangerous for your amp and I wanna do it correctly. I wanna use a variac for my VH tone chase

      Just set it to output 90V. Don’t raise the voltage above line level or you’ll likely do damage.

    I want to say, and I didn't realize it until I bought some, was the Dimarzio Super Distortions are a huge key to the sound as well. The difference in sound was huge when I installed a set of those in my Les Paul.

      It’s technically a Super Tremolo but the tremolo’s been disconnected, making it a Super Lead.

  • @AchillesWrath1
    @AchillesWrath1 Місяць тому

    Ed was the tone master. He was so good he had 2 different era's of tone and they were both fantastic. A lot of people love the early VH tone the "brown sound". I also like the wet dry wet tone he also came up with from 5150 onward. I think they're both great.

    • @jeffreyp1855
      @jeffreyp1855 Місяць тому

      I enjoyed both tones as well, but I really loved the Sammy Hagar era tones.🤘

  • @AchillesWrath1
    @AchillesWrath1 Місяць тому

    That tone is spot on. I've got a Friedman Vintage Plex coming in a few days. It's based on Dave Friedman's personal '68 Plexi, his favorite amp. He was Eddie's rig builder for awhile. It's got a built in variac that goes down to 90 volts with a toggle switch. I'm pretty excited to get it. Great video thanks for sharing

  • @Slumpybuttons
    @Slumpybuttons Місяць тому

    Sounds indistinguishable, well done. What are you using for reverb? Interesting also that the 57s look to be 6 inches away from the cab instead of right on it

    • @TopJimiStudios
      @TopJimiStudios Місяць тому

      There’s a photo of VH in the studio tracking something for VH I and it showed an SM56 about 6” off the speaker. I had success using that. Just used a hall reverb available in my DAW.

  • @bumsharvest5493
    @bumsharvest5493 Місяць тому

    • @TopJimiStudios
      @TopJimiStudios 2 місяці тому

      Hi. No, I don’t like the sound of power soaks. Some sound better than others, but I think they all detract from the tone somewhat.
