Best line ever: "I can't really get it any quieter or it sounds like scheisse!". Amen to that. All these monster amps were made to be loud! Solid tones and playing as always.
@@EugeValovirta230V catching up on many of your previous videos, I just came across this one. Had a question. Does using an EQ as a master volume in the effects loop serve the purpose of attenuating a loud amp in the same way as using a Buger power soak? An EQ in the loop used as a master volume would turn down the volume coming just from the preamp right , not the power amp , but the Bugera would give you control over the full volume (preamp and power amp) going into your speaker cabinet?
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks . I need to attenuate for home use and saw many opinions of using an eq as a master but it seems the bugera would be better than an eq for that purpose.
From your expertise about Amps, great ears and playing, depth of understanding, to clear explanations, I find your to channel to be one of my very favorites. I know I'll be hearing some of the best tones around, and I'll learn a lot every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for doing EVH and his sound justice. That was freakin' awesome! 😎
Very cool that you touch on this subject, people spend a lot of time trying to get his tone from just an amp not realizing that his tone was altered through the mixing console both in the studio and live! In the studio especially he used a lot of mic compression, especially the first album he chained 1176 compressors to get that tone! The brown sound is quite the rabbit hole haha!
Thanks! Indeed. Surprisingly many don’t realize that we’re never listening just the amp & cab on recordings. There’s always at least a mix bus compressor involved and usually some post eq, in Eddie’s case quite a lot with the Plexi, and a good mastering engineer can really bring the mix alive etc. And the (cab) mic choises have a huge impact on the sound as well. And one should never underestimate the power of a goold ol’ 1176. On everything 😎.
Outstanding presentation brother! You nailed his tone and did the legend justice with much respect. He literally was one of a kind and I'll never hear another like him in my lifetime. Thanks so much for this video man 🤘🤘
I have played through two of Eddies Amps, that Eddie sold to my Guitarist Robbin Crosby later of Ratt, the great sounds of the first Ratt album was recorded on those amps. The Variac is the secret
You captured that infectious VH vibe my friend-both in sound and composition. So glad to see there are folks out there in The world digging Van Halen as passionately as in the USA.
Great video dude. This was awesome. Tone is something we are always searching for. Ultimate tone is the best. Eddie was that great tone master. Love it.
Nothing more fun then geeking out on gear and tone chasing, need one of those bluamp's, sounds amazing! Stay between the ditches and have a blessed one brother🤘🤘
Phenomenal demonstration of the amps, perfect chops...educational as always! Honestly, all amps sounded great in their own way which is mostly due to the hands of the player :-) Rock on man!
Just found your channel. Oh my.... just love to watch these how the sounds are built and stuff like that :) Gain... Eventhough that there so much gain, the sound is still so clear!!
Thanks man! Glad to hear! Yeah Eddie wasn’t shy with the gain. A bit too much for me / my playing but this wasn’t about my tone and it was actually pretty ok to play with that much gain 😎.
New subscriber here! What a great video, really enjoyed it, and your other videos. I’d love to see you dial in the EVH 5150 el34 version to see if it can do the Plexi kind of thing. Oh, and you’ve probably cost me £500 because I’m going to have to get a Suhr Reactive Load after watching your videos haha!
Fantastic job! I Greatly enjoyed it! It was great how you went through the different eras, and got so close to the tone each time. All the amps vary a bit, but sounded great! Very well done!
Hey Euge thanks for the EVH tone tutorial!! You are a monster guitar player!! Thanks for sharing the love my friend!!! I have 3 50 watt 5150 lll Amps 2 6l6s 1 stealth love the EVH amps. Thanks again Euge!! ROCK ON 🤘🤘🤘
Excellent video Euge , you've got closer than most. Interesting the reason for the Plexi tone is down to the driving of the power amp section moreover than pre amps - wonder why this has not been explored further ?. I like the fact that as you demonstrated, the tone is in the amp - not a modelled patch !!
Thanks man! Good question. To us ”old school” players Plexi is so obvious but I realised that there might be many people who aren’t necessarily familiar with the amp so I thought to bring that up ’cos it’s so different from (modern) master volume amps.
I really appreciate all the time and experience you share on this channel. You’re one hell of a player. You should get a hold of AVH and create new songs! 😎💯🙏
Really living your Channel here in thE USA there is no substitute for Raw tube amp power and tone your playing is so killer hope your Band will tour in the USA I’d love to see you play live this has been the best take on eddies tone on my opinion.
Thats a really great video! You need to do a second part dialing the ADKOT tone and of course the Tokyo Dome one! Thats a massive tone from Eddie, and my favorite all time🤘🏽🤘🏽
Very cool vid Euge informitive and to the point. Seen Eddie and the band backing up Black Sabbath 1978 in Portland ME, the rest is history . Take care enjoy the nice weather!
@@EugeValovirta230V Yes, being able to play is a huge part of it. However, as you video demonstrates "Tone is all in the hands" is a myth. The equipment has at least an equal effect on the final sound. Otherwise you wouldn't have gone through so many amps and pedals looking for it. :)
Its time for someone to add the comment the tone was all in his fingers that someone usually adds. He was very identifiable regardless of what he played through but his equipment did provide that tone and his approach to sound was as unique as his playing.
thank you i have a 5150 III and that you said about evertyhing becomes neutral at scooped and then add a eq really helped me find the sweet spot for me.
Awesome video as usual. Packed with good information. If possible can you do a video using the EVH 100watt EL34 and do a comparison against the plexi and 800. Thanks for what you do. God Bless👍
Hey Lars, I’ve played with great 4100s and with some of the worst sounding Marshalls but those great sounding ones has been really good. I have to see what I can do 👌😎.
Another great video. Very informative! I always learn something, everytime I watch one of your videos. I learned a LOT on this one! Kinda long, but worth it. Your playing is always amazing. You were knocking that Van Halen stuff out. "Hot for Teacher" at the end was cool! Yeah, you need to get a hold of a couple of EVH amps. The Stealth, and the el34 version. Everyone is raving about the new 50w Stealth, and the 100w el34 head is used by many pro players around the world. ALSO: have you got your hands on a MESA JP-2C yet? I can't remember if you got to try one or not, but it's another amp that is high up there on my list. Anyway, take care... see you on the next one!
Sounds great as always Euge! I feel like the newer VH stuff is easier to match tone-wise because by then he already had this made-to-measure stuff like the 5150 amp, his effects where known, his pickups didn't change as much as in the earlier days. Also nowadays you can buy all this stuff from the modern era, whereas its much harder to get your hands on a 68-72 Plexi and so on
Awesome video as always! Do you have any tips for achieving a similar tone with just OD and pre-amp pedals through an Iconoclast? (eg, ampless rig). Thx man!!
Sounded freakin bad ass Euge...probly best Eddie video I've seen...especially when you did the for unlawful stuff amd the ou812 stuff...like the song 5150, that give me goose bumps man!..lol. Your a hell of a guitar player Egue....it be awesome to hear you do these songs in their full length....if I could make a suggestion please, I'd love to see a video of you demoing the new evh 5150iii stealth 50 watt head and hear what you think of it.
Hi Euge, again a great video. Could you please tell me which Bogren IR you would use for more classic/hard rock 70/80's "Greenback" style speakers? Thanks
Its funny how great that 5150 really does sound. A lot of guys have gone down a lot of rabbit holes of tone chasing (myself included) that could've just used a 5150 (or 6505)
eddies sound was a lot cleaner than most people imagine. he used a lot of gain but his early tone the first 4 albums he was relatively clean when compared to a modern high gain sound. he was using less gain than bands like the scorpions. when he switched from his #1 marshall to soldano his tone changed completely.
Excellent video.s about the different great guitar players and his killer tones, the best on the internet and very learnfull. I don.t know how you stand out the amps from Skydstryp from in my opinion the most underrated guitar player Mathias Jabs from the Scorpions ; that.s is an incredible lead tone he play Thank you for the videos and I wanna say that you also an incredible guitar player man !!!!!
my man. i did the choke and the bias mod on my 93 block letter 5150. where do you have your bias adjusted? do you know what the h value of your choke was? awesome tone man rock on bro!!
Great tones / chops as per usual ! 🤜 To your ears is it from around fair warning possible even vh2 onwards the micro pitch was used or was it possible chorus.....?
I think it’s a chorus ’cos the Eventide H3000 Ed mainly used was released in 1986 if I remember correct. The Micropitch plugin I use is basically Ed’s preset from Eventide he used quite a bit.
Euge Valovirta Unless it was wet/dry/wet chorus set up mabey which might just sound very similar! 🤷♂️ I suppose either way it was Ed and it was brilliant which is all that matters at the end of the day ...!
Hmmm... what settings would you use for an EVH 5150 III 100S EL34 100W to get that For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge sound? Can it replicate that peavey sound?
Oh that’d totally depend on the guitar & cabinet / reactive load / IR etc. used so I don’t have any specific settings ever. I just do it like this: ruclips.net/video/vCxlsdErftk/видео.html
First, I love your videos!! Thank you! I purchased the Marshal Studio Vintage 20 watt amp after seeing your demos. One question, you use a Micro Pitch for the Unlawful Carnal Knowledge sound in THU. I have THU with all the extra packs except the 60s pack. I cannot find this pedal at all. What version of THU are you using? Thanks again.
His old Plexi on 5150 & OU812 and SLO on F.U.C.K. plus a prototype of the Peavey 5150 on one song (Dreams Gone Wrong). Peavey 5150 on Balance, 5150 II on 3 and from then on the EVH brand 5150 IIIs 😉.
Hi Euge, I love your video's and am a huge EVH fan!! I used to have a 5150 II Amp with the 5150 Cab which had sheffield speakers. I loved the 5150 II but hated the Cab!! When I used a Marshall Cab it sounded amazing. I have a question, I am trying to duplicate the guitar separation from the Van Halen song Unchained. I have the guitar in the left speaker of my headset but I can't seem to duplicate the spatial distance that the record has. It's either to much in the left speaker or to distant. I've tried all different reverbs, delays, dual Amps and Cabs, Wet-Dry-Wet and I still can't get it right. Is it possible that EVH was using the Eventide to get this separation? I get that good, what I call EVH "sizzle" or "growl", when the guitar in the left speaker is close and does not have that spatial distance but once the left side pulls away I lose that "sizzle". Thanks for your help in advanced!!!
@@EugeValovirta230V one more uncle Euge. Can You Make A Video How To Get This Tones Via Softube Plugins (Amps) Like Making A Different Series So That Bedroom Musicians Like Us Get An Idea To Craft These Legendary Tones. We Don't Have Access To Tube Amps 😂
I’ve done several videos about the Softube - plugins so please check my Softube - playlist. I think they’re as close as you can get so same rules apply ’cos they really do behave pretty much the same like real amps. I have no idea how they’ve done it but they have 😎.
dude, you sound great. i got 5150mk2 but sounds fizzy. perhaps i have to up the vol a bit more. i usually play volume 3 (or 4 max). what volume do you usually play on? and what do you suggest for tube replacement (both power and preamp tubes). can you also please share your settings for 6150+. I can't see it clearly. thanks
Thanks! I borrowed those 6505 amps from a local music store and have returned the amps to them so I have no idea anymore what my settings were 😎. Sorry! But you should be able to see them on computer screen I think. That’s what I do when someone asks what I had but now I’m outside enjoying the day so can’t check 😊. I have JJ ECC83 S preamp tubes on most of my amps and powertubes from JJ, Svetlana, Tung-Sol & TAD and they all do the job 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V The boss EQ pedal in the marshall amps effects loop I mean. I have heard that Dave Mustaine Megadeath and John Sykes whitesnake use EQ pedals in the marshall plexi effects loops. But I haven't heard of EVH using a boss EQ pedal in the plexi effects loop. It does give you more of that EVH tone I am agreeing with you that it does the job. I didn't know you got the new EVH relic version guitar. Did you get the new EVH eventide pedal that EVH eventide rackmount detuner chorus sound? The new EVH eventide pedal gets that detune chorus tones on those later Van halen albums 1984 he used it. I'm not sure if he used an EQ pedal in the effects loop but he might have
@@EugeValovirta230V do a EVH video lesson on EVH "sweeten tunings" look up sweeten tunings because EVH used them which is different than standard tuning. He used sweeten tunings on all the early Van Halen albums
@@EugeValovirta230V You know all the amps sounded really good in their own way. The guitar volume cleanup thing from the Marshall with the power amp clipping is a thing of beauty though.
@@EugeValovirta230V When I had my first 800 half stack and cranked it up while my mom was visiting the neighbors across the street, she came running home yelling that their house was rumbling. This was from one solid brick house to another solid brick house about 200ft apart!
did you put the ISP noise gate in the FX loop of the plexi amp? and normally where do you put it: before or after the overdrive pedal with which you boost the amp?
The 1987x Plexi and everything on 10 except the loudness 1 on 8 and loudness 2 wasn’t jumped and it was on 0 ’cos it actually bleeds in a bit when you crank it even if it’s not jumped with a cable. Thanks!
If you haven't already ,you should check out the Tone Talk channel, they have a lot of info about Eddie's tone. Watch the first interview(there are 2) with Mike Soldano , the interview with James Brown(Peavey engineer that helped design the 5150}, especially their show dedicated to Eddie Van Halen.
Euge Valovirta is that the one with or without the fasel inductor? I think the older ones had a different inductor before most of the ones that used the black Dunlop inductor switched to fasel. Basically the only difference now between the GCB95 and GCB95F is not the F (fasel), but rather buffer vs true bypass.
Euge Valovirta fair point. I have a GCB95F and it is an instant sell. I have an EVH95 that I enjoy quite a bit. I want something a tad different though, not instead of the EVH95, but as an alternative. Have a JP95, and hope I get on with it. If not, I'll likely put it up for sale.
I have the JP on my current live board and it’s great just right out of the box. Didn’t mess with any of the internal controls 👌😎. I also have the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe which I used on a few songs on my forthcoming solo album but mainly I use the Hendrix one.

eddies sound was a lot cleaner than most people imagine. he used a lot of gain but his early tone the first 4 albums he was relatively clean when compared to a modern high gain sound. he was using less gain than bands like the scorpions. when he switched from his #1 marshall to soldano his tone changed completely.
Indeed 👌.
Yes, from good to bad!!
Excellent video.s about the different great guitar players and his killer tones, the best on the internet and very learnfull. I don.t know how you stand out the amps from Skydstryp from in my opinion the most underrated guitar player Mathias Jabs from the Scorpions ; that.s is an incredible lead tone he play Thank you for the videos and I wanna say that you also an incredible guitar player man !!!!!
Oh thanks man! Really glad to hear this!
my man. i did the choke and the bias mod on my 93 block letter 5150. where do you have your bias adjusted? do you know what the h value of your choke was? awesome tone man rock on bro!!
I have no idea but I ”returned” the amp back to stock just recently: ruclips.net/video/hw0HeyOm3kk/видео.html
Incredible sound and skills you have! What software program are you using on the computer to adjust the sound of the amps?
Thanks!
Don’t quite know what you mean but I dial the amps from the amps’ controls 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V I realized you are using Cubase!
Yeah that’s my DAW of choise 👌.
Egue, please demo the new evh stealth head.....lid love to hear what you think of it and how it sounds with you playing it
Hi man, it’s in the plans so in due time 👌😎.
Great tones / chops as per usual ! 🤜 To your ears is it from around fair warning possible even vh2 onwards the micro pitch was used or was it possible chorus.....?
I think it’s a chorus ’cos the Eventide H3000 Ed mainly used was released in 1986 if I remember correct.
The Micropitch plugin I use is basically Ed’s preset from Eventide he used quite a bit.
Euge Valovirta Unless it was wet/dry/wet chorus set up mabey which might just sound very similar! 🤷♂️ I suppose either way it was Ed and it was brilliant which is all that matters at the end of the day ...!
Indeed 👌😎
Sounds killer! Are you using your Suhr Reactive Load here? What impulse responses do you recommend for the various Van Halen sounds?
Thanks! Yes.
I use the one I used here (my signature IR from Jens Bogren) on everything so that 😎👌.
Wiked vid Euge !! 💪💪💪
Thanks man!
Hmmm... what settings would you use for an EVH 5150 III 100S EL34 100W to get that For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge sound? Can it replicate that peavey sound?
Oh that’d totally depend on the guitar & cabinet / reactive load / IR etc. used so I don’t have any specific settings ever. I just do it like this: ruclips.net/video/vCxlsdErftk/видео.html
Is that Waves E or G channel SSL EQ?
E
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks! Awesome video, this took alot of time and we all appreciate it! Thoroughly enjoyed the tones and playing! 👍
Oh thanks man! 🙏☺️
First, I love your videos!! Thank you! I purchased the Marshal Studio Vintage 20 watt amp after seeing your demos. One question, you use a Micro Pitch for the Unlawful Carnal Knowledge sound in THU. I have THU with all the extra packs except the 60s pack. I cannot find this pedal at all. What version of THU are you using?
Thanks again.
Thanks! Glad to hear!

He used a Saldano for 5150 and ou812 , then the Peavy 5150
His old Plexi on 5150 & OU812 and SLO on F.U.C.K. plus a prototype of the Peavey 5150 on one song (Dreams Gone Wrong). Peavey 5150 on Balance, 5150 II on 3 and from then on the EVH brand 5150 IIIs 😉.
Hi Euge, I love your video's and am a huge EVH fan!! I used to have a 5150 II Amp with the 5150 Cab which had sheffield speakers. I loved the 5150 II but hated the Cab!! When I used a Marshall Cab it sounded amazing. I have a question, I am trying to duplicate the guitar separation from the Van Halen song Unchained. I have the guitar in the left speaker of my headset but I can't seem to duplicate the spatial distance that the record has. It's either to much in the left speaker or to distant. I've tried all different reverbs, delays, dual Amps and Cabs, Wet-Dry-Wet and I still can't get it right. Is it possible that EVH was using the Eventide to get this separation? I get that good, what I call EVH "sizzle" or "growl", when the guitar in the left speaker is close and does not have that spatial distance but once the left side pulls away I lose that "sizzle". Thanks for your help in advanced!!!
Thanks man!
It could be a harmonizer pretty much like on Balance: ruclips.net/video/pYv4IWte8kI/видео.html
I’ve always wondered if EVH changed the speakers in his peavey cabs, those speakers were horrible
Nice tone friend🙃
R&R🙃
😎🤟
Can you make a video how to sound RATT And WASP.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll add to my to do - list.
@@EugeValovirta230V one more uncle Euge.
Can You Make A Video How To Get This Tones Via Softube Plugins (Amps)
Like Making A Different Series So That Bedroom Musicians Like Us Get An Idea To Craft These Legendary Tones.
We Don't Have Access To Tube Amps 😂
I’ve done several videos about the Softube - plugins so please check my Softube - playlist. I think they’re as close as you can get so same rules apply ’cos they really do behave pretty much the same like real amps. I have no idea how they’ve done it but they have 😎.
dude, you sound great. i got 5150mk2 but sounds fizzy. perhaps i have to up the vol a bit more. i usually play volume 3 (or 4 max). what volume do you usually play on? and what do you suggest for tube replacement (both power and preamp tubes).
can you also please share your settings for 6150+. I can't see it clearly. thanks
Thanks!
I borrowed those 6505 amps from a local music store and have returned the amps to them so I have no idea anymore what my settings were 😎. Sorry! But you should be able to see them on computer screen I think. That’s what I do when someone asks what I had but now I’m outside enjoying the day so can’t check 😊.
I have JJ ECC83 S preamp tubes on most of my amps and powertubes from JJ, Svetlana, Tung-Sol & TAD and they all do the job 👌.
Why are you adding a boss eq pedal in the effects loop of the Marshall pedal? You mentioned the evh would add external eq in the mixing console board.
I explained this as simply as I could in the video so you might want to watch it again 😎.
No Marshall pedals were used in the video but amps 😉.
@@EugeValovirta230V The boss EQ pedal in the marshall amps effects loop I mean. I have heard that Dave Mustaine Megadeath and John Sykes whitesnake use EQ pedals in the marshall plexi effects loops. But I haven't heard of EVH using a boss EQ pedal in the plexi effects loop. It does give you more of that EVH tone I am agreeing with you that it does the job. I didn't know you got the new EVH relic version guitar. Did you get the new EVH eventide pedal that EVH eventide rackmount detuner chorus sound? The new EVH eventide pedal gets that detune chorus tones on those later Van halen albums 1984 he used it. I'm not sure if he used an EQ pedal in the effects loop but he might have
@@EugeValovirta230V do a EVH video lesson on EVH "sweeten tunings" look up sweeten tunings because EVH used them which is different than standard tuning. He used sweeten tunings on all the early Van Halen albums
I bought a 6505 because of you...I already have an 800...if I didn't, I would have bought one as well...
My wife is kinda mad.....
Tell her it’s my fault 😁.
Very cool, great job! Thanks
Thanks Adam!
@@EugeValovirta230V You know all the amps sounded really good in their own way. The guitar volume cleanup thing from the Marshall with the power amp clipping is a thing of beauty though.
They do indeed. Yeah no other amp quite does what you’re able to do with a Plexi. The title ”Sound Of Rock” is deserved for a reason 👌💪.
No one plays Hot 4 teacher as well as u do. Satchel comes close...but no cigar. Thanx mate.
Oh I don’t know about that but thanks man! Really glad to hear! 🙏🎸
Deraps plays it better than both of them
That Iridium sure matched the 5150s! I just dont know if it can be as loud as a 5150.
Indeed! It’s actually a bit louder than my block letter and as loud as my 800s. I mean it’s a 100w tube amp 💪😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V If it's as loud as an 800, that's just pure insanity!
Naah, just a loud 100 watt tube amp 💪😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V When I had my first 800 half stack and cranked it up while my mom was visiting the neighbors across the street, she came running home yelling that their house was rumbling. This was from one solid brick house to another solid brick house about 200ft apart!
I hear ya. Similar ”accidents” has happened to me too. Several times 😁.
EVH 5150 4 EVER🤘🎸🔥
👌🎸🙏
Euge, what kind of amp switcher are you using? I didn't quite understand what you said in the video.
KHE: ruclips.net/video/-_WpuZW22D4/видео.html
did you put the ISP noise gate in the FX loop of the plexi amp? and normally where do you put it: before or after the overdrive pedal with which you boost the amp?
Nope. Always after the od pedal just to get rid of the hiss 👌😎.
Awesome video! :D
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
Really Great bro!!!!
Thanks C!
You are wellcome E!!!!
Which amp were you playing in the beginning? And how were you running the amp to get that tone? Sounds great.
The 1987x Plexi and everything on 10 except the loudness 1 on 8 and loudness 2 wasn’t jumped and it was on 0 ’cos it actually bleeds in a bit when you crank it even if it’s not jumped with a cable.
Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V Fantastic Euge! Thanks.
@@EugeValovirta230V Are you using IR or cab?
I guess you haven’t watched the video 😉.
Suhr Reactive Load with IR.
@@EugeValovirta230V Great video!
Pepita is very happy :) Van Halen is very "danceable"!!!
He is and it is 🕺😎.
Euge!! How many amp heads do yu have?? Fxxk!! I wanna have them all!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤟🔥🤟🔥
A few 😎.
Great video thanks
Thanks!
If you haven't already ,you should check out the Tone Talk channel, they have a lot of info about Eddie's tone. Watch the first interview(there are 2) with Mike Soldano , the interview with James Brown(Peavey engineer that helped design the 5150}, especially their show dedicated to Eddie Van Halen.
It’s a great channel indeed and I’ve watched the James Brown episode a few times 😊.
so good !!
🙏☺️
Il MARSHALL Plexy é il miglior amplificatore di Tutti!!!!!!......HAIL DI'AUL 😈❤️
😎👌
Euge, what wah is that? Eddie's signature Crybaby?
Old Dunlop Jimi Hendrix CryBaby I’ve had since 90s 😎🙏.
Euge Valovirta is that the one with or without the fasel inductor? I think the older ones had a different inductor before most of the ones that used the black Dunlop inductor switched to fasel.
Basically the only difference now between the GCB95 and GCB95F is not the F (fasel), but rather buffer vs true bypass.
I have no idea. It does the job and that’s all I care 😎👌.
Euge Valovirta fair point. I have a GCB95F and it is an instant sell. I have an EVH95 that I enjoy quite a bit. I want something a tad different though, not instead of the EVH95, but as an alternative. Have a JP95, and hope I get on with it. If not, I'll likely put it up for sale.
I have the JP on my current live board and it’s great just right out of the box. Didn’t mess with any of the internal controls 👌😎. I also have the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe which I used on a few songs on my forthcoming solo album but mainly I use the Hendrix one.
