- Hello Music Lovers and Welcome back to the Woodshed!
I always wanted to capture that mega wide wet Dry wet EVH magic, and now with these modern versions of what Eddie used we got his old mega rig onto one singular pedal board! I hope you enjoy this video, it was an insane amount of work and im gonna link the companies here-

This is straight ‘Live Right here Right now’. Best tone ever.
EXACTLY that era!!!
@@andywoodmusic Yeah the show and especially the song "Judgement day" is really the only more modern VH tone
i really liked. I am much more into his pre 1984 tones.
Hey Andy, so awesome. How would this be engineered into a FOH ? Is it simply Wet L into L, Wet R into R and Centre dry in both L & R ?
3 inputs to For@@dexterw507
FOH would control all 3 inputs and panning
Even wearing headphones to hear this over video, this rig shines and sparkles with a huge, alien-like sound.
It was so crazy in the room
I just bought the Eventide Micropitch and coupled with the EVH OD its completely changed my Revv D20 mono rig... this video is the best deep dive into the modern EVH sound. amazing.
Eddie left us with a tone unmatched. This is awesome! I would love to play on this rig!
Awesome episode! Eddie's sounds are just pure put a smile on your face FUN!! Loved it! Gonna have to get a Boss EVH SDD3000. The presets alone are worth it!
I don’t normally comment on most videos, but I just had to say thanks a million for doing this! I’ve recently been obsessed with this sound and it’s a tone I’ve been chasing for a while. Shout out to the amazing people behind the construction of this rig, and the musicians that were in that room. I’m jealous of all of you lol. Much love 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Cheap and easy way to recreate- sde-3000 into 3 of the smallest 5150 icons. The 10” inch ones. Full on legit WdW rig
That sounds amazing! Just wondering if this could be achieved with a Fractal AxeFX since it has stereo delays and pitch shifting capabilities? Love to know your thoughts. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
@@vanscool I made a patch on the fractal that’s as close as I’ve heard. It’s on my website for like $4
That is the most awesome set up. It just screams for someone to play Intruder! Intruder was a history making intro in my book. Eddie Van Halen introduced to the world just what you can do with a guitar. I think that applies to his music,but that intro really set the bar! Awesome show. Thank you so much!
Sounds awesome.
As a hobby, I've been gathering gear to build something close to this on smaller budget scale. Using 2 boss katanas for wet, an evh lbx stealth, evh 2x12 cab, micro pitch, sd3000, brays line out box to grab the signal out of the head to run into the sd3000 to feed the katana's... only missing 1 katana and the sd3000. Hearing this is pushing me closer.
Was waiting on someone to play the intro to "don't tell me what love can do"
This is the sweet spot and something you could take to a gig (maybe wet/dry as a tradeoff)
If I make it to the Woodshed experience I’m going to play Aftershock - that song is an EVH masterclass
Great tribute to Eddie!
Outstanding! I want one!
What is fantastic about this, is that those of use who have been in different rooms, cabs on 45 in a corner, to our left or right side sitting down, all the variables, can headphones this episode and be in the room. The only thing you didn’t do Andy, and I wouldn’t have thought to do while on the sortie either, was putting an iPhone in horizontal on the seat for the straight on POV spectrum.
But then we get to see the real reaction to the size of the spread and quite frankly the bewilderment on some faces that play the rig in realtime.
I really dig the effect exploration of gear had on Eddie. And F.U.C.K. was our picture of one of Eddie’s boss level achievements. After he created a Boss level template from 78 through 5150.
I specifically appreciate you Andy for cracking out Dreams and the beautiful song serving chords of that collection of live grabs.
Killer work Andy and the team for putting this rig together.
Thanks for this. I absolutely love wdw. My "real" board also had the SDE3000 EVH and a MicroPitch. I had them in a Paralllelizer. Amps were a 5153 50w Stealth and a Powerstage 700. Just a ridiculously gratifying rig to play. Lately I'm using an FM9 and three FRFRs and it's equally gratifying. And *waaay* easier to setup/build.
Wooooo Tone Harmonics 💫 Amp Collector Gear & Playing from 1967 . Wire Up For Years. "Impressed" . One of my best rigs - Two JCM 2000 DSL's with the Rockman X-100 in Stereo Front with Wah . Rest of pedals in the Back . Everything Sounds Better 💥
Eddie Was a genius!
Andy this is so awesome! I can only imagine what it sounds like in person. The Van Hager era was monstrous, I loved the music and writing in those years.
Thanks for all the time and effort on this Andy and XTS! Soooooo great!!! I think Ed would have been so geeked to see all of you experiencing this wdw rig of Doom!!! Long Live EVH!!! ❤🤍🖤
Okay. This was bloody awesome 👌
And nice work @BenEller sneaking in THREE Satch tracks.
Bro..I am listening on head phones and it sounds amazing. Can only imagine what it’s like
Totally amazing. I started playing in the Van Hagar era and these are the tones that inspired me to play. Awesome job and rig. Playing is also awesome as usual.
Such a fun watch. Amazing editing and absolutely the build of a lifetime. Amazing brother
To say that sounds amazing is an understatement.
wow that was cool Andy, 3 micro Cubes and it still was Heaven
Pricey little rig.
I would like to add that this is an epic invention! I think that this would blow Sammy Hagar's mind!
As well as Brett Michael.
I think that it also screams someone to play The Zoo by the Scorpions. Again Thank you for taking us thru this! Awesome!
FANTASTIC! Thanks for doing this.
Amazing set up! That wet dry wet tone is Sick! I would have loved to be in that studio that day!!
That was a cool video! Really makes me want to get this delay. Might have to go to your event next year! I'm sure this was a lot of work. Thanks for doing it.
Love to watch this kind of geek stuff. Thanks for great video.
Great Video. What an incredible set up and sound. Thank you.
Edward definitely helped develop a lot of special gear and everyone will enjoy for a long time. His tone as it progressed from the start has got to be chased more than any other guitar player just guesssin cuz ya got a lot of great ones like srv, hendrix, Clapton, rr, page it's crazy how appealing Edwards specific tone has become....
That sounds killer, even from a camera. I have to try it.
Wet Dry Wet sounds like a pretty decent Friday night on many levels.
If you run this WDW with an amp and 2 FRFR speakers for left and right, where would you put the micro pitch in the signal chain?
What did Ed go back to his old school sound and only punch into this whole setup every now and then. Do you think he was doing it just too make the old music work? Meaning like the sound wouldn't work with the older records?.
I truly think this is probably Ed's most favorite sound.
You guys made me tear up. Good job
That is unreal. I can only imagine what it was like in the room
it was an absolute tyrannosaur!!
Killer tone. I got goosebumps when you went into Judgement Day.
Absolutely loved this!! Nice job fellas!
Grrrrr , Hungry about that !
Listened through monitors running through an UA Apollo and it was epic. I hung with gear whores and [played through wdw rigs years ago but as you said it took a rack of expensive gear to do. I would have loved to hear this with a Suhr 68 loaded down!
Awesome rig, I have an SDE3000 rack but waiting for the pedal that I ordered last week. Will run with a VHT 2-50-2 and Fortin modded SLP.
Yes!!!!
this is a phenomenal video
cheers my dude!
I fast forwarded to the part where you play... Holy hell that sounds killer.
I'm 5 minutes in, sick board! A Phase 90 Custom 74' would take it over the top, it sounds more like the old records than the signature one does. But it also has the crappy old tone-sucking bypass, needs modding to true bypass or a loop boox... 😛
@Andy Wood Music
Do you guys have a diagram of the board? I’m wanting to add an Eventide Micropitch but I’m not 100% sure where it is in the chain? I would assume you had to run it after the EVH Delay to achieve a stereo effect on the outside amps
When you started playing dreams I just had to start head banging 🤘🏻🫡
EXCELLENT...Thank you.
This is amazing!!!
Wow amazing !!
This video is going to have a seriously detrimental effect on my bank balance 😂😂
I bet sales for micro cubes just went up a bunch. :)
😆🤘🏻
how did they get the sde 3000 evh to display “evh 3 short”
See I wonder how different this is from my rig, I run 4 amps through the Radial JD7 injector. My pedalboard has a few of the pedals o that board in the video. This is what I've been going for. My set up seems different as I'm not slaving the amps. I have to manually set the levels of each amp. However the sound is huge! I'm running a Carvin X-50B with 4x12 cab, Marshall JCM800 4010 combo with a Eminence DV-77 speaker, Peavey stereo chorus 2x12 and Peavey Bandit both teal stripe series. Quite different from this running through the Radial JD7 injector rack unit.
Wow. Just. Wow..
Absolutely killer, Dude.🤘🤘
Badass vid, and sound really wide, thank you for sharing!! Really love it!
I looked repeatedly to notice the XTS pedal ( interface) 12:09, can you tell me where to get it?
thank you very much Andy Wood Music !!
HOOOOOOOONK!!!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great video! Thank you!
So getting an EVH SD 3000, I already have 2 MK2 100 w Katanas set as clean as any Fender Vox Amp Ive ever heard, and already set to the stereo expand and linked up. So those stand alone with my Marshall tsl 60 and a Peavey JSX 120 and a few 4x 12 cabs so I should be able to get it done. My board right now is a Jerry Cantrell Wah, AT Super Mod, Gearbox, Keeley Halo, Suhr Woodshed Comp, Richie Kotzen RK5 and a Keeley Fuzz Bender Line 6 M9 in the loop along with the Halo. I think with that gear I can build one hell of a WDW. Whatcha all think? effect chain for the dirt will probably be the Super AT mod and the Gearbox. Or Just the RK5. Any suggestions?
sounds like a great setup!
so awesome ;O)
Wow what an amazing video 👌. I've been chasing those same tone that you have lol with real amps am simulations as well.. just wondering if you ever tried the Zakk Wylde No More Tears guitar tones he also had an amazing tone with the Yamaha spx90 and jcm 800s with sd1 pushing them. Love your videos you are an amazing talented musician thanks for the awesome music.🤘😎
You should be pitching before the delay
For a 1 to 1 copy I’d need to be doing a lot more than that.
We are limited in signal routing because the sde is doing the split- it doesn’t have stereo inputs thus delay has to be first.
Again, the goal was to shrink the mega rig onto a board.
Sounds amazing!
Delays are too loud....splitting hairs.
excuse me,i want to know the sde3000evh is mix/dry/mix or wet/dry/wet,if my remember is true,the evh setting is mix/dry/mix,so why do you add a mix wet level to control it?don't you use the evh setting?and the micropith is only use to add delay or add other thing such as chorus? my english is not good,please forgive me.
Explained in video. But mix knob allows control of the 2 wet cabs in wdw setup, then controls full wet mix in mono.
thinks for explanation,i should watch this video again,i have one friedman be100 amp,and a synergy power amp for wet cabs,if i only use evh setting on sde3000,should i have a mixer and micropitch to get the real evh tone?i am chinese,watching english video is so hard for me,please forgive me.@@andywoodmusic
@@jerrywu1829 your english is so much better than my Chinese :)
My advice is to reach out to Xact tone solutions xts in Nashville TN. Send Barry an email and he can help get you sorted! The wiring is a little tricky.
ok！thinks for your help@@andywoodmusic
Why do they need the interface and the level box? Doesn't the boss sde do all that already?
I wish I understood almost of the pedalboard stuff.. one day! I’m curious when you say “these are Ed’s settings” and where you found them. Anyway it sounds so fuckin good
They are presets in the sde-3000
It has buttons labeled “EVH”
The flanger does too.
i read that some colleges are offering a 4 year masters degree in that pedal board to understand it
Ben Eller for President.... Make Stepdad licks Great Again
I vow to Make America GRUNGE AGAIN!!!!
No EVH Chorus?
Dry dry dry 😂
Maybe I missed it. What noise gate is that?
Isp decimator
@@andywoodmusic thanks!
The delay wash is a little bit overpowering. It's some kind of WDW rig... not sure if it sounds like EVH at all.
We were really cranking the mix. Keep watching, we run completely dry at another part, then only effects in another part.
The tone might’ve been better through the MicroCubes💀
This is absolutely amazing! I love the fact that you're playing Hagar era. Most people skip that or don't acknowledge that but I feel that was some of Ed's best writing. Early Vh was all about riffs to me but Hagar area was all about the SONG and Ed really shined musically and melodically in the Hagar era
Andy Fucking Wood everyone!
You need to share this rig setup with Joe Satriani who is now trying to develop a rig for playing the Van Halen tunes!!!!
More importantly, teach him how to NOT butcher Eddies work like he currently is.
Well he first has to not suck at playing Van Halen
Omg the cable management is beautiful 😮
I was thinking the same thing. I'm putting together a pedal using cables from Amazon. There's only so many options getting lengths of similar cables. I forgot how much cables cost, and didn't realize how many are required.
Andy, on your D-Tuna..the reason that thing gets stuck or is hard to pull in-out is the fine tuner is screwed down on it preventing it from moving. You have to unscrew the fine tuner all the way to the top, unlock it (at the nut) and get that top string in tune (to drop D) BEFORE you lock it down at the nut. May take several attempts to get it right but that’s what it takes. You only have a half turn downward if that much to play with. Once you get it in tune push D-Tuna in and use the little Allen wrench to fine tune the E. Pain in the butt…you bet. 😅 but no more tugging, pulling or bending the trem down to get to it..good luck. BTW my family is from Marion NC also. 😉 Awesome rig!
Thank you sir!!
It’s good to watch you guys get excited with this rig. Like young fellows catching that first fish and the excitement that brings. At 66 I hope I never lose that excitement when I’m fishing or hearing a good guitar rig. We just didn’t have all this back in the 70’s. If nothing else use this rig on one song and stick it on a record. Scott Splawn is a pioneer in this area and has been doing WDW for years. Makes some killer amps too. I know this legacy is in good hands with you so enjoy 😊. 🎸
@@andywoodmusic It also helps if you do your setup and intonation in the Drop-D mode, then adjust everything to sound good in E-mode; I have found that guitars that ship from the factory setup for standard-tuning generally need the saddles moved forward just a tiny tiny bit to work nicely with a D-Tuna.
@@steveshuler1957 I worked at Splawn years ago and Scott is a personal friend of mine for almost 25 years. He’s a good of a guy as I know and heck of a builder and player!
@@StratTones Yes Scott and I go way back when he was at NAPA store on Dallas-Cherryville Hwy. He is a wizard on amps and gear. Great guy and I always enjoy talking to to him about gear. We’re lucky we have a person of his caliber to drop in and talk to locally. Good stuff 👍
I have been running wet dry wet since 1985 ,the idea came from Randy Rhoads and an effect he was doing on the Diary tour, I also knew Randy and took lessons from him. But ,anyway, what I did was run 2 Modded JCM 800 Marshalls and I ran a Soldono, and or Randall . It was a ,is a huge wall of sound . Anyway, I have been running this set up actually since 83,but playing it live since early 85. I didn't have that much stuff on my board ,ever! But ,everyone does their own thing. But,yours sounds good, just a lot of stuff going on!
I keep hearing about this, but I only play at home now. Can you get that sound from a small rig? Say, a 50w plexi, and a 20w something else?
I used my Marshall JCM800 with two Crate 2x12 as my "wet-stereo" thing...
@@MyLifEcademy-sr4hy Some of the old crate cabs had Celestions.
Oh man, this is so great.
When you hit that first chord I felt it like a punch. It sounds so big and three dimensional through my speakers, I can't imagine what it feels like in real person!
I love when you nerd out on Van Halen stuff.
p.s. I'm the guy who asked you what is your fav VH record in Italy during the clinic haha
Cheers Luca!!!
Good grief LOL first chord sound freakin HUGE! 😂🙌🏼 I’m giddy as a schoolboy watching. 🔥🤩
Wow! That was epic! Great work man. Eddie’s tone on balance and FUCK is just the best!
This has to be the best eddie tone video of all time in my opinion.
"The power of the sun in the palm of my hand" is the quote I keep thinking about while listening to that tone. Also, I just keep thinking just how fun it must be to play at that volume! WITH THAT TONE, and it sounds like that IN THE ROOM!! To stay with my comic book inspired commentary, it really must feel like you're a superhero.
Once I see Ben I knew he’d play Can’t get this stuff no more.
Hahaha I gotta!!! So underrated.
Extremely underrated
Ben's a legend so great to see him through this rig
You’re too kind!
@@BenEller Your playing sounded awesome thru that Rig !!! I got my headphones on here. Nice wall of sound !!! Loved that wet / dry / wet sound !!!
@@BenEller Inspiring step-dads everywhere!
18:34 Hey, Andy! Whenever you get a chance you should do a little "Dreams" lesson video, highlighting a few key riffs and licks from the song!
Yeah! I dug that guitar-rendition of Dreams :D
I listened to the Australia show of 3 because it’s a quality recording
Andy, you nailed it brother. 👍🏻Brings tears to my eyes thinking how consistently great his live tone was was genius he was 💙
Eller just previewed a bunch of AMAZING VH-ish tones! Satriani is the wrong guy to be on tour playing Eddie's tunes... Either you or Ben would KILL IT!
Thanks a bunch! It’s weird, Andy and I both fell down this WDW-era Van Halen tone obsession simultaneously. Maybe Mercury is in Gatorade???
@@Sorbzski99I think Satriani is gonna kill it too! 💪🏻
What an outstanding video!! Congratulations to all involved!! I will never be able to unhear this👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Satriani is DEFINITELY the wrong guy for the VH gig. Thorne woulda been great but. Sammy and Mike probably understand they need a huge name in guitar. But Joe DEFINITELY isn’t the guy. It’s not good at all.
Incredible! Thanks to Andy for the inspiration, and for sponsoring and filming this "Wet-Dry-Wet" Dream. And to XTS for masterminding the build. My favorite quote ==> "This is not your typical Nashville rig".
Man this is AMAZING!!!
Fantastic episode Andy. I thoroughly enjoyed watching. I would love to see you guys approach the Landau, Huff , Luke rig to the same extent. Wishing you an Awesome 2024.
RJ Ronquillo just did a board build exactly like that!
Ooooh Ben comin’ in with the “Can’t Get This Stuff No More”
Ben is right, that badass rig needs to be in an arena or somewhere with lots of natural reverb
Let that thing be in its natural habitat!
You have nailed the VH tone. This is the best video! and the icing on the cake…the 3 Roland cubes! Thanks
I always knew the EBMM axis was a amazing guitar but i had no clue it was that much better sounding than the EVH wolfgang!
Must be those custom wound dimarzio's! 👍 I know i love my axis from 2016!
my bad.
Thanks Andy sounds so incredible actually made me extremely sad on how much we all miss him!!!
LOVE all the Carnal Knowledge riffs, so badass, tone is ON POINT! 🤘🤘🤘
Ok so I really need to get the Boss EVH SD3000 and add two more 5150 LBX III 15w with 12” cabs to my current LBX III with 12” cab. Lol. Only 3K to meet Ed in heaven after I die either of a bliss attack or wife ends me. Lol 😂 Already have micropitch and all the EVH pedals.
I am pretty much a bedroom player these days,I have an AxeFXIII thru studio monitors that I use most of the time…Living in an apartment,it’s just way more practical…..However…in the corner I have a full blown W/D/W rig,with the SDE EVH3000,5150 Stealth amp,and a 4x12 and two 2x12’s…every now and then,when the neighbors are gone,I fire this up,and it ALWAYS puts a smile on my face,and I end up getting lost and playing for hours…or until someone tells me to turn it down….You are exactly right,you can’t “unhear”it…it’s like going from black and white to full color,HD TV….
Awesome tone! Question, I have a 5150 iii half stack and 2 fender fr12 frfr powered speakers. Can I use the powered speakers for the wet cabs or do I need a power amp and separate cabs?
How does the Right & Left signal come out of the SDE3000EVH and into the Micropitch? I thought the micropitch was just mono in? Is there a way to to do stereo in too? Thanks.
Scope the wiring when Eric and Barry do the walk through!
That’s what I was wondering too. It looks like they hit the “mixer knob” with both the left and right delay outputs and then they’re combined into one mono output that goes to the eventide. Then stereo out of the eventide. Seems wrong to me and not how Ed had his set up. There needs to be an actual mixer of some type to keep the delays stereo and apply the eventide to the left and right without squashing them down to mono.
@@twily it’s the only way to shrink Ed’s rig down to a board. Of course we could’ve done it with more outboard gear, rack mixers etc, but at that point it lost the goal of the project
@@twily yeah that's what I was thinking. Need to use an Eventide H90 for the stereo in, then stereo out to keep it all split 👍
But how does it sound through the hands of a southpaw🤔 maybe i need to come out to the woodshed
