- Hey everyone! Here's a demo of Eddie's Brown Sound, using Pariah Pickups. The bridge is a Pasadena White, the neck is a prototype and I'm playing my Music Man Axis guitar, straight through my Germino Lead 55 head with Celestion Greenbacks. Hope you enjoy!

There is only one King Edward but sir you are phenomenal.
he´s king Jacob ;)
Eddie's tone has that upper-mids "snarl" to it, you nailed it.
That Hot For Teacher phrase at 4:26 was smooth af
@Prof. Weed changing tubes barely makes a difference in sound lmao
I figured today is a as good a day as any to see what Eddie emulators were doing before he died. Good job dude. You have that "Brown Sound" pretty damn close. This a great way to say good bye to Eddie. Rest In Peace Eddie.
i wish Eddie never ditched this tone
Eddie never had this tone, thank the Gods
Couldn’t agree more, his current tone is embarrassing.
But it's amazing man! how can you hate it???
@Dead Planet pretty interesting
@Dead Planet you are correct, well said!
I both love the tone and the fact I’m not your neighbor. 😂
Jason Keaton how would you not like to be his neighbour 😂
Wish he was my neighbor!
I wish he was my neighbor! I’d be over there with my axe, learning and jamming.
If the dude was my neighbor I'd be making constant requests LOL
Bro I live to be his neighbor
This dude is playing with heart!! He captured the feel and groove of Eddie really well.
I've said it many times on your channel Jacob - I have heard/seen very, very few people who have ever come as close to Eddie's tone and playing feel as you do. Awesome work indeed and yes it's time for you to really blow up on youtube. Leverage that amazing tone and playing feel and become the best Jacob Deraps that you can be...
cheers man and continued success...
Man, that is close.
The amp helps, but your pick attack is so close to Ed's, that's what really does it.
Ryan Monty yeah the bluesy attack is what separates eddies sound from he other shred gods
Man, he has a bluesy feel no doubt but I've never seen a blues player pick as hard as Eddie does. That's where a lot of that out of control tone comes from, the snappy attack, the twang, only all heavily distorted so it's a sound of his own.
Germino sorta kinda has it but This is the brown sound...

@@coreyweatherford3297SRV absolutely. Only person I put in the same league as EVH
Thank you so much everyone, subscribe to my channel and stay tuned for my next videos! I have a couple more on the way, my next one is gonna be on Randy Rhoads's tone from the Tribute album. Also, I'm sorry for the background and for sitting, there has been renovations here and my music room will be ready shortly.
I think I said "GOD DAMN!" out loud about 8 times during that clip. There are people who can play some EVH licks, and there are people who have found a reasonable facsimile of The Brown Sound through a combination of effects and equipment. I have ::NEVER:: heard such a spot-on Brown tone in my life, outside of The Man himself of course, and you, Jacob, are clearly a student of the game, a brilliant technician, and a RARE F'n talent. Does my heart good, man. Bravo.
Awesome playing dude!
Totally agree..He's got the soul in it
I'm sure that some of you are familiar with this story, but for those of you that are not, here it is. Back in the day during a sound check before a show, Eddie was on stage dialing his sound and tone in for the night and Ted Nugent was backstage watching and listening shaking his head in disbelief of the incredible sound Eddie was getting playing with what Ted called, a bunch of junk duct taped together that made no sense especially next to his huge expensive state of the art rack mount set up. Ted couldn't quite believe it and wondered out on stage and asked Eddie if he could give his set up a try. Well, that's where Ted really began to understand just how god damn amazing Eddie really was when after hitting a few cords and ripping a few scales that what he was getting sounded nothing like what Ed was getting from that ducted taped junk. My point is this, Eddies sound and tone comes from his fingering and pick attack and timing, plus his equipment. That's the most impressive part of Jacobs covers that has stood out for me. Jacob has the most accurate fingering, pick attack, technique and timing when it comes to duplicating Eddies playing than anyone else I have ever heard, and it comes out very easily and naturally for him.
mrsbieberfeverluv Thanks for sharing that. I'm sure a lot of younger players haven't heard it. That's the first thing I tell my students about learning VH songs. In fact I use it as an example of tone and creating their own sound. IMO, his timing is the hardest part of learning VH songs. He's very percussive..You kinda have to think like a drummer.
Curt Mitchell is the best emulator of ed by far. He’s better than everyone in every “ed” skill and tone.
I was around back then, even had the guitar mag with that story.
The one thing I never understood tho what was Ted playing?
Eruption or Cat Scratch Fever?
In my mind knowing that would have influenced the outcome of that story through the years.
I was playing through my rig once, when I handed my guitar to my son who also plays.
The outcome? He sounded like himself - on my rig - with my tone coming out of the speaker.
So what you're saying is technique is in the fingers! Mind-blown...
Great comment, would read again.
Jerry Cantrell had a similar experience, said he and EVH swapped gear and they still sounded like themselves.
Good to see the youth of today haven't forgotten the past
I'm still trying to figure out how to tie my shoes.
light up the sky is such a dirty riff
All I can say is I love every note that Eddie ever played! Miss him very much. RIP Eddie!
When he broke into Unchained I think I shot off in my pants.
LMFAO! Dude!!! I'm in the hospital recovering from a heart attack, and when I read your comment, I busted out laughing so loud, the nurses rushed in to "see if I was OK"! Lolololololol 🤣🤘
You know you’re doing it right when you can jam without a backing track playing and it still sounds crisp
Wanna Job?
David Lee Roth Lmao
lol
you created this sock acct just to make this comment. classic.
206 subs with zero content. I love it.
@@randallabracadabra look again..😎
Nobody plays EVH stuff this good !!!!!!! This is EVH Jr. !!!!!!!!!!
The tone is 100% spot on
I'm have you heard 5150 lessons play it cause that car is straight on .
I never leave comments but your performance warrants it. Jacob, your playing and sound kick ass! When your VH tribute band comes to town, I'm there. Truly insirational man.
Damn, Son!!! This just made me wanna have a beer!
I've been a huge VH fan for 20 years now and I've seen all of the greatest players do their best to emulate his lightning technique, rhythmic swing, and his aggressive tone. You sir have now impressed me the most! Wishing you all the best in pursuing your own career in music.
From 0:00 to 6:17 is the best part - nailed it!
i drink coffee and watch this first thing in the morning. #metime
All I can say is WOW. That was incredible fierce playing. Awesome. Great job.
You kill it man, great old school Ed sound and the right agression picking style!! By far the best VH legacy I've heard and seen on YT for years...
Eddies tone was raw.....he WORKED for it........and so do you brother. I REALLY love everything about you man. Im a Marshall tone guy.......and i get it. Good job man
They sound awesome, Jacob! Great clarity of the individual notes within chords, and still good gain too! This may be brown sound perfection!
Great sound. You got the groove going too brother, which a lot of today's players lack.
Respect for David Lee Roth being presented with these wild guitar instrumentals and managing to actually extract a pop song!
Also, congrats, nailed the tone
pop? this era was hair metal. hagar brought the pop elements.
@@strawsparky33hard rock. closer to zeppelin than poison or the like lmao
The very best tone I ever heard from Ed is on the “Nightmare before Halloween” bootleg, in 1978 i think. It was before he switched to a Floyd Rose.
I think it had to do more with his amp than his guitar at the time. Also the recording quality is much better on that particular bootleg than most.
infectionsman totally agreed. Funny thing, about 7 years ago someone posted a clip that was epic, the tone was life changing. When asked he said he got it from a dimed bassman...I believed him
It was mid October 77, the last show at the Pasadena Civic. Ed also didn’t record with a Floyd rose until 1980.That being said, I do agree that the tone at that show is top notch
Hitting the pickup switch and turning up the volume on the beat at 4:50 is crazy
even the pick up switch and volume increase in hot for teacher was in time!
you've done something incredible here, AMAZING job man.
gosh, that 2nd song he played, that's when you really hear all that tone and headroom, and then he suddenly hits the high notes and harmonics and you just get total bliss.
Well done Jacob! Well done! The 'brown' sound is inspired by the hands. The hands push the attack on the guitar which pushes the amp which responds by creating the sound. Simple, aggressive, and awesome! Again, well done!
One of the things I note with EVH is the nasal frequency boost, most noticeable when solo tooling around the 2nd-5th frets to my ear.
As well as the saturated preamp almost "drenching" the palm mutes in harmonic heaven overdrive, hard to describe but I know it when I hear it.
You are not only in the ballpark on that sound, you're on the pitchers mound. Great job dialing it in.
I can play all these songs too!
About 5% as good. 🤣😜🎸
TrackHead Studios i can play em 110% as good as this dude Hes hella good but he doesnt have the feel
I can air guitar them better than EVH himself.
Great fuc*ing tone!!!
@@_kunkle he doesn't have the feel? I hope your joking
Blackopszombies33 you see, thats the type of ego that usually means you’re probably not nearly as good as him
Wow! Just wow! Eddie would be but only proud but probably calling you as a backup if he is ever sick! Great job,Mate!
What I like about this tone is it's big and punchy but there's still clarity...it sounds like what it is, a "clean" guitar turned up loud and saturating the tubes, as opposed to that processed brittle sound I hear in a lot modern metal.
Great sound and fantastic playing. Now get a bad in the garage and crank it.
It was a pleasure to watch this one. Takes me back to the days when I first discovered Ed and the gang. Them dudes had me fucked up for years! They were so good I had to sit down the first time I heard them.
not sure how many comments Ive made but geeeezuz one more wont hurt lol wooohooo keep it goin jacob like i said before time and time again Im watchin you just love this stuff makes an old guy like me feel young again
your tone, seriously... it has balls!
Clicked for the tone. Subbed for the playing. holy smokes you're a monster!
Wow!!! You have really nailed Ed's sound. But besides your gear I think 50% of is due to the fact that you also can play exactly like Eddie note for note. Very impressive for a VH fan like myself
gear helps obviously but that brown sound is in eddies fingers. you've got that man,but have your own style at the same time, I really enjoyed this video. nice one man!
Outstanding Playing Jacob. I listened to your set you played at Montreal Jazz Festival and WOW !! Your Drummer at Montreal Jazz was also really outstanding
Wow, that is spot on.
Your a very soulful player. Thats whats it's all about....attitude! great playing my friend.
You need to move to L.A. Youre doing the same thing the past year. Too good
I recall a story Ted Nugent told a few years ago. He once asked Eddie if he could use his rig to give him the 'brown sound' Eddie said sure and to come over and try it. Ted did that, plugged in and started playing and guess what? He sounded like Ted Nugent! A lot of Eddie's sound came from Eddie, not just the equipment.
Iestyn Davies
To a point.... I picked up a Freidman BE100, and a few MXR effects, the EQ, EVH Flanger, MXR Phaser, and a echoex. I cant play even half as good as the guy in the video, but when all my guitar buddies come over, they all say "you sound just like Eddie..." I have the tone nailed with my rig. I keep practicing, but I will never be that good. But the gear does it for me...
Along those same lines (paraphrasing from memory here) Edward had another famous guitarist ask if he could play through VH's rig. Edward said sure and the guitarists was flustered that he couldn't get the "brown sound" even though Edward would take the guitar and sound correct. Edward then asked if he could play through the other guy's rig... he did and he sounded like VH. Edward smiled and said "the tone's in my fingers."
Damn dude. I think you nailed it. The best I've ever heard for "I'm the One". That's a nasty little shuffle that no one can get right.
Absolutely awesome!!! Loved it!
Awesome playing bro!!...straight rock and roll!!...
Absolutely killer tone and playing!
How does he get this SOUND!!
HANDS DOWN THE BEST BROWN SOUND WITHOUT A DOUBT 100% Ed really needs to go back to his roots if they ever do a new album instead of all of his oversaturated over produced sound. This is where its at for Fucks Sake!!
wow, simply blown away. you are a virtuoso - a prodigy!
Why would you unlike this?? Just move on or make your own video and play it better if it's not worthy of your like. Sounds great to me!!
This is GOOOD, keep rocking on dude
Great playing but needed some Reverb and a bit of Phaser.
Excellent playing
For anyone that doesn’t recognize this as the exact brown sound, put on some headphones, and turn it up.
If you still don’t hear it, check your shorts- you mastered the brown smell.
love it!
You're doing it right to, but here it's pure vintage wow!
Awesome playing and yeah, brown sound for sure.
Wow bro I gotta say I think you got a slightly better tone than Eddie. Its a bit crisper.Hands down kid the best brown sound and playing as close to eddie iv heard yet.Good for you. I wish you much successes.You have a new fan.
There is a band I go to see all the time called get the lead out it's a led Zepplin tribute band they are awesome .If this kid was in a van Halen tribute band Id go to see them all the time. unbelievable good to see young kids appreciating Eddie's excellent guitar work..
Hot for teacher at the end executed with mighty grace, thanks for sharing this.
Love those ear muffs. Did you get some for your neighbors
Nailed it man
Jacob YOU should've landed that OZZY gig.
Incredible sound you play it so well too, dude
Love ur playing and video's kick ass Jeep it up....Great Fu#k job
Wow !!! Speechless ! 👍🎯
How the fuck do you give this a thumbs down???? 51 People that can only play the Rusty Trombone i bet.
Great tone Jacob, i am friends with Sean who makes Pariah pickups, and you do them justice! I just got his blackwood model for my 78 replica, i wanted something hotter than the duncan 59 i had. So soon as i get it together ill post a vid!
Loved this video ,, watched it all the way through
Nice...any Eddie Van Halen fan is a Friend of mine for LIfE.... because Eddie is my favorite guitarist in the World
Sounds fantastic!
Nailed it!
'Brown Sound" is how Eddie described Alex's drum playing. "It sounds like Alex is hitting a big log.". I dont know how that came back to be Eddie's sound.
But, now it is. So it shall be.
Ain't banging on your chops.
You're a damn good guitar player.
Ya rockin out! Awesome tone!
Great Left Hand work. Can you imagine that Edward came up with all this stuff on his own? Despite your playing Ed's stuff note for note, I can hear your own style coming though too.
You are very good mate
Another awesome job!!!
Brilliant - sounds killer!!
Wow, that is amazing!
Wow! That kicked some serious ass!
Sounds amazing !!
Wow! You nailed it!
Holy shit!!! You can play man!👍
This makes me want to pick up a decent small Plexi clone & rock out to some Halen.
Hi, I noticed you’re always plugged to the “low sensitivity” input of your Germino: is it a stock Lead 55 or is it modded so that input has a different wiring? Would you share your amp settings? By the way, excellent playing as always!
Killin it.
Nice amp! Ain't seen one of those in quite a while.
Very well done, great tone, and great playing.
Just got to the Hot For Teacher part... wow, that was awesome, nice freakin job brother.
I could watch this for weeks...kudos bro
Utterly SAVAGE. You attack the living crap outta those strings, and I'm realizing and learning so much from watching how you just brutalize your strings to get so much of that incredible tone and attack. You are incredible. Thanks for all the great videos!
No variac? Amazing
