I love Balance!! Ed’s playing was incredible on that tour!!
👌🤟🎸
Hey browns fan ! Nice to see you bro
Ed using his signature musicman and this gear is probably my favourite tone and I love early VH but For Unlawful and Balance had a fantastic big and full sound that nobody else could achieve. RIP Ed 👑
👌🙏🎼
On f.u.c.k he used his soldanos. Did he use them on balance as well? Im guessing he used his peavey signatures.
If my memory serves me well he used the OG 5150 and his trusty old Plexi on Balance. I have the Guitar World magazine somewhere where he went through the gear he used on that album.
On ’The Dream Is Over’ he used the prototype of the 5150. Again from Guitar World’s interview around the time F.U.C.K. came out.
@@EugeValovirta230V Awesome! Thanks a lot for the info. Just watched an interview of Mike Soldano in which he tells the story of EVH calling him and buying 3 of his SLO's. Mike then also retubed his original Plexi. Eddie was obviously always on the hunt for new stuff.
You’re welcome 🙏. Yeah it’s a cool interview 👌.
Bro you’re a musical GENIUS. MUCH RESPECT.
I’m not sure about that but thanks! Much appreciated.
I was lucky enough to see the Balance tour. It was fucking phenomenal. Sound across the board was pure perfection. Whatever was going on behind the scenes sure didn't translate to the stage. When they played Feelin, holy shit. EVH at his absolute most insane live playing. The KING, for damn good reason.
Oh man that’s so cool! I managed to see them only once in Helsinki, Finland back in the day with Gary Cherone and man it was (still)so good! They pretty much played DLR - era songs and a few from the 3 👌.
Euge, you're killing it with this series! Really loved this one, Balance is one of my favorite albums ever and Eddie's tone there is absolutely amazing. Your rendition is spot on!😎
Thank you so so much for all the effort you're putting into this videos!
Oh thanks man! Really glad to hear!
So called "Purists" hates me for it but Balance and F.U.C.K are my favourite VH albums. It's something with the song writing that just feels deep and comple on those albums. And the tone is Fat with a lot of string.
True masterpieces
Really fine work!
Thanks for the video.
F.U.C.K. is mine 👌. Thanks!
Purists or stubborn
I am right there with you. The apogee of Eddie's songwriting and tone.
I like it too. It's not the Brown sound at all but it's really good. I also loved both of those albums
Sounds great man! Love hearing all the little tricks to these classic tones. Great video 🤘🤘
Thanks man!
as always amazing! not only you nailed the tone, but your playing is always inspiring! I enjoy so much your videos and playing. Thanks to you I have been playing more. Happy Holidays!!
Thanks man & likewise!
This is one of the best Balance explanations. Also you seriously let go and go nuts on that solo piece. What a great video
Glad to hear! Thanks!
This is great! I absolutely love this album and this tone. You nailed it! Cheers from France!
Thanks!
Thank you for your efforts ! Always appreciated . The Balance album for me best captures Eddies modern tones . Every time I hear the Heavy sounding intro to Don’t tell me what love can’t do just blows my mind ! It’s not a complicated intro by any means . It’s about that tone that is so incredible !
Thanks!
Indeed 👌.
That’s a sick song dude. Great video and tone. I still get inspired every time you put a video out. Thanks and Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours.
Thanks and likewise!
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
That tone is amazing 🔥 Awesome playing as well 🎸. Great information 🤟
Thanks! Really glad to hear!
That was an awesome opening jam!! Always love watching your videos. Keep on jammin!!!
Glad to hear! Thanks!
One of the most comprehensive and detailed explanations on Ed’s sound, how to achieve it, and why.
Truely excellent!
Thanks!!
Oh thanks! Really glad to hear this!
Amazing as usual Euge , keep them coming mate 🤘🏻
My favourite is Amsterdam from the Balance album.
Thanks!
I had a similar tone running an ADA MP-1, tc electronic 1210, and intellifex into a Mesa power amp and 2 cabs. Sound was big wide and epic...Ahhhh those were the days.... Really enjoy your videos, thanks for taking the time to research and post this stuff.
Cool! Thanks!
Great sounding album !!
Great tribute Euge !!!!🤟🤟☦🔱
Thanks!
Outstanding playing and tone !
This as you know is his transition period when the OG 5150 came in being blended with the ‘ Plexi and Soldano.
Serious tone from a guitarist hitting his peak .
Thank you !
Thanks a lot!
Nicely presented as always! very much appreciated.
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Awesome!! Eddie was the best! Amazing playing! Always killer tone!!
Thanks man!
Man this is so much good information. Thank you.
Finally a video that totally describes how to do it, i tried it and love it thank you, i have a w/d/w rig with the roland sde3000 and a lexicon pcm70 and 3 cabs but always wanted to do it with just plugins and amp plugins and this nails it, please make more video of how to do the F.U.C.K sound in the daw and maybe some early van halen album sounds. Love your videos and tone.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
This is just outstanding! Would love to see a similar Fair Warning breakdown with the H910?
Keep up the GREAT content!
Thanks! Good suggestion 👌🤟.
I’m so tired, I can barely keep my eyes open, but this is really cool info and well explained and good examples of what each part does, so I just “have” to keep on watching!
😊🙏🤟
Great video Eugh, all that recording stuff is crazy. I wish I got to see a Van Halen concert to see what it was like.
Thanks! 🤟
appreciate you sharing your wisdom Euge!
My pleasure! Thanks man!
Such an interesting topic. Really well explained and really well played. Thanks very helpful
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Very well done very well explained incredible video overall!
Thanks!
awesome tune you wrote man!!! If i had your gear and playing skill, i woul live in that studio. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EUGE!!!!
Thanks! That’s what I do 😎🎼🎸. Likewise!
Awesome video man, your sound is immense.
Thanks man!
Been to over 50 concerts and vh balance tour sounded perfect to my ears
Hyvää settiä taas! 🤘 Hyvät joulut ja uudet vuodet Euge & perhe.
Kiitos! Ja samoin!
Nicely done as always euge. Have a good Christmas mate 🤘🏻
Thanks! Likewise!
A dream come true for a Van Halen fans of his TONE, thanks so much for your video. I go to the practice for mi guitar gear 🎸😎
Glad to hear & thanks!
Great VH Album... Love the Original Tune... Excellent Tone and Riffs
Thanks man!
You won the internet today!This is the best damn video I have ever seen on how to do this is f’n amazing. Thanks so much for your hard work.As DLR would say stellar production Euge!!🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thanks man!
Meu irmão! Animal, animal, animal... Simplesmente monstro.... O melhor vídeo que já assisti no estilo. Sou muito grato pelo conhecimento que você compartilhou. A anos busco esse timbre, mas aqui é Brasil, nao tem conteúdo assim...
Só valeu, vida longa a você🙌💪💪💪
Don’t understand the language but thanks anyways 😎🤟.
@@EugeValovirta230V 😂😂😂😂💪
Very helpful! As always! Thank you sir!
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Oh man its sounds so good i love your tone.
Glad to hear! Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks! You have helped me so much as a guitar player myself with your video's you do! My amp that i want to get soon is the small box. I really loved the video you did with the marshall and the small box is my tone i love very much. Keep on rocking out into next time take care brother!
🙏🤟
Excellent!! Real video based on your real guitar playing and analysis.
Thanks!
Sounding great!!
Thanks!
Wow! THANKS so MUCH Euge for doing this Video!!!
Great job, amezing sound, great guitar player!!!!♥️🤟⚡💪😎🤟🤟🤟
Thanks!
This album is one of the first introductions to rock/metal for me, so this video is pretty awesome
Glad to hear!
Awesome video Euge! Try the Eventide Micropitch pedal plugin for another option for a detune effect. I love it but I just may buy the H949 after trying it out from seeing this video. 👍
Thanks! 👌
I got that pedal !! It’s awesome bro
Another great content video. 🤘🤘
Thanks!
You have The tone
And great song at the beginning!!
Thanks!
The dimension D is brilliant for live use if your singing and using stereo Iem’s, during the parts your singing when you have dimension on if completely gets guitar out of the way of you vocals but at the same time sounds huge in your ears!
Indeed 👌😎.
Thank you, great video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Is everyone in Finland as cool as this guy or is he just unusually badass.....
I’d love to see you do some tone videos on George Lynch or Warren DeMartini this balance video was awesome as always
On my ever growing to do / request - list 🤟😎. Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant
Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Cheers!
I truly hope that someday you can get your hands on a Mark IIC+ Simulclass. Would love to see one of your excellent reviews on just that legendary amp.
Would be cool!
Excellent Vid man. Excellent explanation and demo of how you went about it. Gonna try it out on my quad cortex 🎸🤘 was he using the “micro pitch” program on the Eventide ? BTW great to see a fellow Cubase User 😎
Thanks! Yeah it’s Eventide’s H949 plugin 👌.
Sounds really great. Still interested in you getting your hands on a JCM900 and also a runt 50. Had a runt 50 and it’s the biggest gear mistake I’ve ever made selling it. I think it nails early VH really well. Good day.
Thanks! Hopefully someday 👌🤟.
Ooh this is gonna be good
😎
Great rhythm player like Eddie! And yes, this tone is sick! 👍🏽
Thanks!
I don’t know where you came from, but your playing and sounds are damned good, subscribed!
😎🤟. Thanks!
Я даже не могу описать на сколько это круто и на сколько ценна эта информация! Огромное спасибо за это видео!
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Great video! Is that rythm bus from both left &.right tracks? Happy new year :)
Thanks! All rhythm gtr tracks 👌.
nice research ! Also that intro style reminds me of Dokken - Crash n Burn for some reason
Thanks!
Nailed it!!!
Thanks!
Great breakdown Euge! Was the Greenback IR done with a SM57? I tried to replicate your process and noticed that it made a difference in the wideness of the sound when panning two mics hard left and right instead of splitting one mic and panning it - it sounded great either way, just something I noticed… don’t know why though.
Thanks man!
I can’t remember that 😎.
But if it sounds good, it’s good 👌😎.
Fantastic video. Also your playing an that song you played. Do you have any settings of the flanger? I can’t manage to get a good vh flanger out of my md500…
Thanks and merry christmas!
Thanks!
The settings are what’s on the pics 👌😎.
I think the best combo would be a high gain stereo rig with an eventide h3000 or tc electronics 1210 stereo expander
Why not 😊.
KILLER SONG/RIFF!! EVH would approve :)
Thanks!
Sounds massive….! The brilliant playing helps too 🤜
💪😎🙏
yeah!!! sound very good!!! in my opinion for balance tone the boss ps6 setting for detune in stereo sound very very similar.
Thanks! It does indeed.
I guess "The balance song" is an original from you Euge?Great tone and awesome playing,thanks for sharing
Yes 👌. Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V Awesome
loved it!...
Thanks! Glad to hear!
@@EugeValovirta230V i actually saw it last night and I can’t wait to get to my studio to try it myself on my guitar gear…good videos man!…
I leave here ( hope is not a problem ) my English RUclips channel link..some cool stuff I think!..

Wiked playing bud !!!!!!!
Thanks!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Harmonizer makes perfect sense for a one guitar band without doubled guitar parts. Especially thinking about how the first VH songs had the guitar panned to just one speaker.
I usually prefer raw, unprocessed guitar tones, but always liked the Balance tone. You really nailed it!
Amsterdam is actually one of my favorite Eddie guitar parts-- super catchy. Just wasn't a fan of Sammy's "Wham Bam" lyrics.
Indeed 👌. Thanks!
Hey Euge. Always love your vids. Think it might have been one of your previous EVH ones where I saw this but didn't Eddie often use a micropitch pedal around this time? I always loved the F.U.C.K. and Balance tone but couldn't figure out what the missing ingredient was. When I saw the micropitch being used, it all fell into place. Maybe all in one micropitch pedals didn't exist at this time and modern ones are just a simpler way to get the same effect Eddie did using the eventide harmoniser? Or maybe he did use one and told the interviewer something else! Wouldn't be the first time Eddie mislead people on what he uses 😉
Thanks!
I don’t think micropitch pedals existed back in those days 😎. Eventide was / and still kinda is the way to go. But obviously you can achieve similar results with other things as well. I mean the only thing it needs to do well is to change the pitch just a few cents. IMO Eventide does it the best. They pretty much invented the whole thing - or at least were the first company to put out one in the 70s = the OG harmonizer, which actually didn’t perform that well but the H949 works like a charm. Probably that’s why Ed started to use that and switched to H3000 when Eventide released that in the late 80s if I remember correct.
thats the best sound ever!!!!! big and meaty!!!!!!
🤟🙏🎼🕺
Awesome, sound or tone just like or similar to EVH. He inspire all of us to play guitar. But i wish i knew how to play.
Badass!🤘
Thanks!
Great video and thanks for sharing. Quick question , I will imagine the signal path for the harmonizer, delay, reverb are all in parallel ? If in series, what come is the sequence? Thanks
Thanks! Yes. They’re on separate AUX/FX channels and I sent stuff to them according to taste 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks Euge. I know they the SDE3000EVH are not set full kill dry but his the h949 are full wet (kill dry) ?
Awesome video as always man. Can you do a Metallica tone video? Especially cause now you've got the mesa as well
Thanks! Will add to my to do - list 😎🤟.
Amazing
🙏🤟
Bravo 👏 well done 👏 M8!
Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V Really helped me out, on what I'm trying to achieve Thank you..
I live in Nashville Tennessee. If he moved here he would work 8 days a week. He’s just that versed of a guitarist. The studios would have him on speed dial as a session guy.
Oh thanks man! Glad to hear! 🙏😎
Hi Euge, Great stuff! I'm late to the party on this but what are the Boss flanger settings you used to create the Marshall tone?
Thanks! I’m not sure I understand what you mean but I used a Marshall amp to create the Marshall tone.
Sorry for the confusion, what I meant to ask was what are the flanger settings you used at the beginning of the song with the Marshall?
Ah 😎. Can’t remember but most likely everything around 1 o’clock or so.
Was it about the same on VH3? That also sounds great.
Nice! Tonemaster.
Thanks!
Killer song! You nailed that tone. Interesting how you achieved it. It does sound to me like there is a chorus pedal on it. Of course, the Flanger is obvious, but also sounds really good. A subtle harmonizer and phaser can also sound like a chorus to me.
Thanks!
Indeed 👌.
Try also the H910 plugin
👍
Euge....can you show me how to get EVH's tone on Fair Warning? Or, Warren's tone on Ratt's "Invasion" album? That raw biting, articulate, unprocessed goodness :-)
Will add to my ever growing to do - list 😎🤟.
@@EugeValovirta230V We're very close to the same age, Euge.... Did you ever think that when you decided to play guitar for a living, that one day, you'd be paying your bills by plugging your guitar into a computer (that's plugged into another computer), then talking into a camera (that's more of a computer) that's also hooked into your computer, then sending it via some freak-technology called the internet connected to your computer...to someone else who's doing the *exact same thing* on their end who's located 4K miles away??? I'll be the first one to admit that when I started playing it was for hot women, and a bar tab. Looking back, that actually seems admirable in many ways to what we have going on today. But I digress..... Carry on, sir! 🤘
Nope 😁.
Totally agree!
I’m assuming that this tone feels incredible
So my question is, did Eddie use pitch up on one amp and pitch down on the other with his straight signal running up the middle? I'm getting mixed answers on this and I found an affordable way to do it but if he ran pitch up and pitch down I need to get 2 of the same pedal to run it to 2 amps with one in the middle running a dry signal without delay or the pitch change or detune.
Hello Euge, what do you think about the original 5150 cabinet? Why nobody use it with the original head? Best regards
If it was good for King Edward it should be good for any of us 😎. I think they’re quite hard to get ’cos at least I haven’t seen one for sale in ages.
@@EugeValovirta230V got mine since 1999.. at that time most of the owners of the head use to play with marshall cabinet or other V30 cabinet.. I didn't realize it was hard to find now... I confess that I prefer my Hesu Cabinet.. I probaly need to try this sheffield speakers again and again.. thanks for reply and for your channel! all the best for 2022!!
Thanks man and likewise!
What's the best speaker for modern high gain playing ( tight clear sound without being harsh in the highs) ?
I’ve been using Celestion V30s & Greenbacks and Eminence P50Es for pretty much everything I’ve ever recorded / played from country to black metal and they work like a charm. At least for me 🤟😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V 👍
Great song \m/ Pepita chose to listen attentively :)
Thanks! He did 😎.
Hello sir. How to record 3 tracks(left,right and centre) simultaneously?
With three different mics for example 👌.
BALANCE has the best guitar sound ever made
very underrated album
Yeah it’s pretty good 👌😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V you have done very good job with the sound 🤟🔥🤟
Thanks man! 🙏☺️
This video is a masterpiece. And I'm not even a guitarist!
Oh thanks! 🙏☺️
about the oc pedal what settings was he on
Did you have any compressors or anything else after the chorus on the bus?
Nope.
Great underated album. Pretty sure that's the only album he ever used that amp on
Indeed 👌.
Correct, the only album to use the 5150 thankfully!
