Here is a few that I found. Yes they are not 100% on, but they are all about 90% of the way there. Like I said before....the other 10% is in your techinque and such

Why do you humor him? Even if it WAS "100%" spot on, he'd disagree with you!

Here is VH's amp with a stock super 70, thats a lot of gain going on there from a super 70? something is in that signal chain other than guitar/super 70/marshall plexi.

Alnico 8's are very strong magnets and have more gauss potential than ceramic. The lower-wind of Super 70's is negated by the pull and huge magnetic field of the magnet. We also don't know exactly how close to the strings he had it. I say a Super 70 could easily put our more voltage to the preamp than a PAF or "78", especially with Ed's strong strumming technique. Not a mystery to me. Go to the metroamp site and listen to the dude playing Unchained with a stock Les Paul through a 12xxx SLP clone. Near perfect... just guitar into amp. No cascading, no mods... just a period-correct Plexi, cranked.

*EDIT* DOH, apparently I was on page 3 when I posted, I'm outta here this is nuts....

But yeah, there is Phase 90 with the speed turned down all over Runnin', and most of the album.

Re: Duncan Custom SH-5 Special Van halen pickup

You're already on way too much...maybe you should just sit down and take it easy. Wouldn't want you to o.d. on all that ego you've been injecting straight into your head!

By the way, an extra dose of "reality" is what we're all on! We've offered you some, but it's obviously not your thing!

::ring:ring::
Phone Call! It's Eddie Van Halen asking for someone by the name of "Pittbull" or "Nitro"...
He says you didn't use protection the other night and now the input jack hole on his amp is pregnant! Also, both he and his amp have a restraining order against you...stop trying to have his tone babies!

Re: Duncan Custom SH-5 Special Van halen pickup



this solo has the phase 90 on. that is a smoking tone with a unusual amount of gain i have not heard anyone else get from their plexi? he had something in front of that amp!

Re: Duncan Custom SH-5 Special Van halen pickup

I dunno... I'm The One and all the Frankie tracks sound a lot like VHII to me. I think the production and level of compression in the post-recording mix might be the key. I think they went "overboard" on the first record and even Eddie didn't like it that much.

Re: Duncan Custom SH-5 Special Van halen pickup

Maybe it just sounds that heavy cause of the way it was mixed. Studio magic and all that. What all effects did Ed have on his pedalboard?

Jose Arrandondo (sp?), his old amp tech, said he used a boost or distortion pedal. Maybe, maybe not. Maybe it was a hot ceramic. Maybe it was aliens.

My vote goes for the OD box in conjunction with a cranked plexi and a 14K ceramic,then you would get that dose of gain from a SLP
That or
Something like this!
