    I think it’s very easy to determine that that speaker cabinet is in fact in the room with Eddie. If you look at the glass,it is on an angle and all the reflections are on the same angle going upward. The cabinet top looks parallel to the floor, so in my view it’s in the room.

    The JBL's were only ever seen in a straight cabinet, before and after the recording sessions. Also, we know beyond any doubt that eddie's aluminum cap speakers were JBL's simply by the fact that JBL used 4" aluminum caps instead of the 3" seen on the Radio shacks, altecs, jensens, celestions... You can see that they are 4" clear as day in the shot of Dave sitting on top of the JBL cabinet outside of sunset during the staged photoshoot. They are not necessarily D120's though, I'm not sure where that notion came from. They could easily be K120's as we have never seen the back of them, though with the evidence we have stacks heavily against the idea of JBL's ever being on a recording.
    They were definitely not radio shack speakers. That theory came from a fan Kurt James who clearly didn't do the research on the aluminum caps and the different cones.

      Nothing is ever clear as day when it comes to EVH and gear. Just because there’s a picture of a particular speaker or cabinet doesn’t mean he used it. No one will ever know what really happened then. If Eddie was still here and we could ask him, he would probably not know himself. Take that one step further, even if he did know, he might not tell you the truth anyway!!! if I could’ve spoke to him, I wouldn’t of believed anything he said anyway.

      3.37 : And that, my dear fellow guitar players, is the reason why a modeller using profiling techniques can by definition never sound like an amp in your room. It will always sound like a miked amp because the profiling technique uses a mic to record the profile. No problem for situations where there is a mic involved such as recording in a studio, or in live performance. But if you like the direct sound of an amp at home, in a rehearsal room or as your monitor on stage, you can not achieve this with a modeller that uses profiling techniques such as the Kemper or the Quad Cortex. Not meant as a criticism, just a plain fact :)

    • @tanneryordan
      @tanneryordan 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@martijn_yt I am under the strong belief that there is little to no room sound on the first album. I made a video on my channel showing how I mix the dry tracks bridge the gap between the fully mixed/effected sound. I did it to try to prove that the room sound is not the secret to anything, and addressed things like “you can’t mix a room sound into a guitar track if it has bleed from drums and bass”
      I believe you can get very close with the RIGHT speaker impulse responses. unfortunately we don’t know what speakers eddie was using because “greenback” refers to a dozen, massively different speakers.

    Hi, Ossie. Thanks so much for making all of these videos. So informative and fun. I've always felt that Ed's amp was splatty and fuzzy with the guitar vol full up and more controlled with the vol back a bit. And I've heard Ed multiple times talk about how he rarely has his guitar volume on 10. I'd assume that this means he would go full on for solos and that most of the rhythm tones we hear have the guitar vol back a bit. A good example of this would be the last D chord before the breakdown in Mean Street. It is VERY fuzzy and blown out. The same chord in the prior two choruses is really quite tame in comparison. Maybe in that last chorus he didn't quite get the guitar vol down as much and displays the fuzziness of the amp? Maybe? This could also explain why all versions of the 5150 amp have such an absurd amount of gain on tap: because he's only dipping his toe into that craziness when he takes a solo and then backs back down for everything else. Also, I used one of your Jose preamps into the power section of my '67 Super Trem for a ton of my most recent record. It's half of the rhythm tracks and the end solo of this tune. I love that box so much! Cheers, man! ruclips.net/video/a6A-7fDCKtc/видео.htmlsi=YfWSvVVigYrQ86io

      I don’t recall him ever saying that he didnt have the volume on 10, unless he had a magic potentiometer that capped out at a certain point on the pot. do you have an interview excerpt that i’m forgetting? he was an on/off player for a long time, sometimes rolling down to 3-4 for clean stuff, but i’m quite sure that he ran the guitar volume on 10 almost all of the time

      @@These_go_to_eleven_1959 Yep, any time eddie moves the volume knob, it's pretty obvious. For instance, the first run through of the "Dance the night away" riff is the volume slightly knocked back, and then you hear the volume increase for the rest of the song. Ed wasn't like angus young who would set the volume differently for rhythms and leads, you can see that clearly in the fresno footage that he doesn't manipulate the volume much. Even between songs he doesn't roll off like a lot of people think that he did.

    So many things after Eddie's hands and strings until the final sounds we hear on the devices we use that it's impossible to get a 100% copy. We want the end result after all the recording, mixing, mastering, vinyl pressing or tape to tape then the machines we used to get the product we bought coming out speakers bouncing in a room then to our ears.. Nobody will really know the tone he had coming out the amp(s) in the studio when we got those recordings. Eddie probably ONLY told Alex and Wolfgang 100%. Most people have probably been turning knobs around and had the exact sound out the cabinet at one point but were saying "Um, real close, but like not quite." and is still on that quest (me included).. Isolated tracks will pick up frequencies from other instruments so even those aren't 100% accurate. I think the room sound was a big part of the tone we want. Maybe the true genius was Don Landee who knew how to get the sound we fiend for out of Eddie and his amp(s). I watched an interview where Landee did the final mix with his assistant but WITHOUT Eddie. The band didn't like the sound of VH1. So maybe the real secret ingredient is still alive (Donn Landee) because the sound we want is clearly not the sound the band had in the studio when they did these songs in 1 take. Like Mozart, Bach, etc., in 200 years, people will still be talking about Edvard and Robert Johnson, but everyone else will have been completely forgotten. You make a really good amp. Sounds great. Like seeing the beginning of Friedman.

      I love that it’s been nearly fifty years and people still talk about Ed’s brown sound and aspiring guitar players spend huge hours to learn eruption. I’m the same age as Ed, and lemme tell ya, those days in ‘78, lifting and dropping the needle over and over, slowing down the turntable to make out the notes, man it was a struggle. And you listened over and over, and over the years (yes years) as you became a better player and began to get a handle on this… alien… you changed your mind as to what this alien language was until you could understand it. I’ll never forget the empty feeling of sitting with my Strat on my lap, looking down at it while listening to eruption, totally clueless, and wondering how could anyone be that good.

George A/B's his original '68 plexi with the Metro-Plex (which has master volume set at 3.5 iirc) ruclips.net/video/9W2UqzOM0iU/видео.html The real plexi splats (vowel growls), but the Metro-Plex (at that master volume setting) doesn't.
