A new clip...
Hey Guys. It's been a while... here's a new clip... My amp ( as usual ), cab and my lp loaded with gibsons 500t... I've been trying to eq the mix in cubase a bit... to try to recreate the "poor" post production sound from that "after zero" sound and some reverb as well... Just my guitar... no EVH music this time...

Re: A new clip...
Great to be back... been busy with my band... and actually kinda nice to have been away from here for a while ( don't get me wrong )... to focus more on the music, but now when things cools down, it's inevidable I'm stuck here...
The same nfb as before... I tend to switch between 27 and 47k at 16 ohm... on this clip it's at 27/16 ohms. The reverb is from cubase 5, REverence dub plate... it works, but I guess there are better ones out there...

Re: A new clip...
Sounds great!! I wish you'd rent that rig to EVH to record the next VH album with. Can you imagine how fine he would sound returning to a roots sound like that?

Re: A new clip...
Hi Ralle, great clip. I have been following your clips, tone and playing for a number of years. You always deliver the goods. I was interested to see your choice of PUP in the Gibson 500t. I don't hear that PUP discussed as much as a lot of the other Van Halen style pickups. Is that one your current favorite and is the ceramic part of why your are digging that particular PUP. I thought I recalled that you were rocking a Super 70 at one point. I have one and it is a great sounding PUP, but darn the squealing on that one.

Thanx for those kind words. Well, the 500t was in the lp stock when I bought it, but I kinda chose it for the pu since it's a ceramic, and yes I prefere the ceramic pu's... but it was a Dimarzio Super Distortion, not a Super 70... For now, I'll have to say the 500t is my favorite, but I allso have a SD jb that I've hade for like 30 years wich I like very much... But I think I prefere the 500t

Re: A new clip...
So, what amp settings did you use on this clip? Also, at around 4:41 in the clip you start to play a riff that EVH used frequently during the club era and for the first tour...Is it possible to get a tab of it?

Re: A new clip...
The tabbs? he he... I'm just noodling something simular to what I think I hear Ed play... I haven't got a clue how I did it... sorry
Well the settings are the same as allways... everything on full except bass and vol2 they're att zero.

Re: A new clip...
After listening to this clip a few times it reminds me of the "oddball stock parts" clip you did a few years ago. This begs the questions: Are you still using the oddball stock parts in your amp or have you returned to the more conventional Super Lead circuit? Also, for a while there you were running the 2K7/0.68uF arrangement for V1b, is that still the case?

Re: A new clip...
Yes I still have the 2.7k/.68u combo... been using that for quite some time now... doesn't feel right with 820/.68u... As for the oddball stock parts; I actually don't remember what I had in there for the oddballs ... But that there are some "odd" parts in there, that's for sure. Actually I'm going for less gain ( don't get me wrong, It's still the sound from the pre vh1 and the vh1 sound I'm going for )... I'm hearing less highs, or should I say less gain in the highs than I thought it was initially... It's ballance of it all...
You could say it's the more standard superlead config for now, but I'ts a work in progress as we speak
I can say one thing though; The Dave Friedman speq is out the window, and it has been so for a great while now... actually I'm getting ferther and ferther away from it the more I dig in to it...
