Actually perfect, just a little weak sounding. That could be just the way you're hitting the strings or the actual volume of the video. Plus, Youtube's sound quality isn't the best and makes your file loose power audio wise. Also what gauge strings are you using? I know Eddie plays with 11's to 12's with super low action. Great video man, and great tone, closer than most people on here who also are telling you yours isn't good. Not that I have any room to talk lol.

@SoloEpi Using 9s I don't think that Ed ever used 11s or 12s bud.

I am hitting strings very hard during this and the others. I need to work on getting slightly more gain but I've not had time lately to try anything new out on that front.

Thats not one bit brown ..Eddies original brown sound is a non master volume Marshall all the way up with a high output pickup..that way you have a great natural gain sounding distortion that lets you roll of the volume just a little for woman tone which is super brown and you can roll it off more and more for a nice clean sound ..Let your tubes do the work as they should with the different amounts of voltage by varying the volume knob..From clean to mean and everything in between

@toobmaniac It is a non master volume Marshall... all the way up.... using a PAF replica at 9K.

I think ur playing is way better than the sound you have. You have a great tone in your fingers, way better than most. :) The sound isn't that spot on. Seems like its breaking up rather than distorting. Try taking a little bass off?? Eddie's bass is tight and clean, it is the "sound". You could just buy a EVH 5150III they're spot on. :)

You're right Eddy NEVER used 11's or 12's!!!! If he did, why are his signature strings 9's??? D'oh!!

Nice playing my man!! Keep searchin for that tone ;)

different verb, more gain, iota of delay, and very subtle chorus. I'm not a guitarist, I'm a producer. Don't listen to guitar players. Everything you know of Ed's tone is what you heard AFTER it was produced for a record. remember that. I have a 71 marshall head that's supposedly the model after the plexi (not an expert) and a higher gain setting gives me the tone. Now if only I had your chops. Mad Kudos to you. You got groove, man. Your tone is SO VH Raw....I dig the shit out of it.

Best sound ever heard to be a EVH clone !!!

Have you tried a variac? Brown sound; brownout. 90V.

I have a Hot Rod Deluxe that I am modding the Gain/Drive channel to sound "Marshall" like. This is a good tone. I agree with some of the posters that the gain could come up a little, but didn't Ed have the amps modded with an extra preamp tube for that gain? This sounds like every Marshall of that era - very nice - clean breakup - smooth tone. Could you post info about the tubes used in this amp and any mods you may have done already - if any? I like the sound. Very nice.
