Members sah5150 Posted February 7, 2006 Members Share Posted February 7, 2006 My understanding is that you must watch the movie "Deliverance", or buy a VHT Deliverance. These are the only two options if you seek the brown sound. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bmf5150 Posted March 6, 2006 Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 if you cant afford a plexi then check out the crate gfx or crate glx amps.go to jfrocks website and listen to his VH clips.best solid state amp i have ver heard for the VH sound!i like it better than the modellers!http://www.jfrocks3.com/jfrocks/evhscales1.htmlhttp://www.jfrocks3.com/jfrocks/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked out his site and was blown away. A buddy of mine has a gfx212 that he hasn't played in a couple years, so I bought from him. Best solid state "Brown Sound" I've ever heard! I've owned several modeling amps (POD, Behringer Vampire, J-Station, etc), and they don't even come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted March 6, 2006 Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 Originally posted by sahlomonic I see that there are a plethora of amps that will get a nice and thick "Brown Sound", but what I don't know is what is the cheapest route? New Mojave Peacemaker? Used Plexi? 5150? Maybe even a solid state amp (digital or analog circuits)? Basically, how to get the brown sound on a budget?? A Peavey Triumph will get you very close for under $200 and an Ultra for maybe 2x that. Add a little swirly-swirly and arena reverb/delay and you'll be pretty close if you dial in right.

Members Tatosh Posted March 6, 2006 Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 Sure, the closest you can get is by using the correct gear, but there are more than a few ways of getting that recipe... Of course, I am no EVH expert, and certainly can't play like him to save my life, but a friend of mine is a huge fan, and he can get very close with a strat on ANY amp. Because he has the chops. Even in a solid state cheap peavey junk If we are speaking strictly on the budget, a POD isn't a bad idea. I have heard a few clips that get close enough for most people.Of course we are all tube purists here. VHocolic gets astoundingly close with a 5150 using a cab with greenbacks.A Mojave Peacemaker or a Roccaforte HG 100 will get you VERY close if used right. But that's not on the budget anymore. Those amps are a huge investment. And that is not even mentioning a true Marshall plexi.Metro amps would be a good option, too.just my two cents.

Members Rezzer Posted March 6, 2006 Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 I like my 18 watt Budda superdrive II for that sound. It may be a bit more than u want to pay. I bought mine used for $800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sahlomonic Posted March 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 Originally posted by ***1776*** How do u know its the Crate gfx?He does have a nice BIG sound though.. He explains on his forum what settings to use exactly for the GFX-212. Not only that, the guitar I use is similar in construction (woods and pickups) to his and when I'm playing along to his videos, the tone and feel of the amps sound the same. He also has the amp miked up right on the speaker grille, not from a little webcam. That makes a difference. For rhythm work, the Crate gets the job done. For lead and solo work, however, not so great IMO. I don't care, I love the sound. I think that as far as solid state goes, you need to have analog circuitry to have better tone, in most cases. Digital circuitry, i.e. amp modelers, just doesn't (yet anyways) have the nice fat raw gritty sound. Just my opinion. And to who said his buddy sounds like EVH with a strat and any amp; I believe it. As said on this forum countless times: "Tone is in your fingers." Gear can only get you so far; your fingers is what gets you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vancleaf Posted March 6, 2006 Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 Well, if you have a tube amp, get yourself an eq pedal (something like a frown setting usually works)and a Bad Monkey od pedal. Works for me. Cheap and brown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crwnedblasphemy Posted March 6, 2006 Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 Originally posted by cloudnine Do not get a 5150. It will not do the old Ed sound.(Head, anyway) 6505+ will be closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jeverist Posted March 6, 2006 Members Share Posted March 6, 2006 Get an ADA MP-1 off of ebay, plug it into the effects return of any nearby tube amp, any ol fender or peavey will do.Instant brown sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
