Here's a short clip of me trying to nail down that elusive VH tone - I have a long way to go, I'm afraid. I recorded dry then added verb with the recording software. Oh yeah, one more thing, you'll need to turn up your speakers. Your comments are very much appreciated - thanks!
Thanks, Bro!! You made my day! I'm using my 5150, but... I did something to it this weekend. I swapped out the Shefield speakers and installed two 8 ohm Celestion Greenbacks (picked them up used at a local guitar repair shop). I'm really liking the sound but I'll just have to be careful to not turn up the vol to high and blow out the speakers.
It's not Ed's tone, but it's sounds fantastic in my opinion. I really like how warm and intimate that tone is! [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]
That's really close. Sounds awesome. Try panning the guitar hard to one side. Apply a plate verb with a low cut. Pan the reverb only to the other side. They used an EMI plate on Eddie.
