    My Van Halen Synth Demo

    I read Ed also had/used a prophet synth back in the day before using the OB-XA. I came across this sound demo. this low drone which is also easily achievable on the Oberheim emulations...my ear tells me this would be maybe the basis for that intro pulse sound to Mine all Mine. Mess around with...

    Another buyer really happy with Red Sound FRFR speakers

    When my CLR's die (knocking on wood) going on 10 yrs with this pair (pre neo version) I'll be taking a very close look at the Red Sound stuff. Looks stellar. I'm in Canada as well.

    Friedman guitars

    For the most part I'm really satiated with my guitars/gear. I probs have one more purchase in me for a higher end super strat in the next few years. Not in any rush. I was thinking along the lines of a custom build from Anderson or Suhr with a preference for the former just based on the quality...

    For those of you that have played or own....what are your thoughts on these guitars? I can only assume the build quality is pretty much top notch yes? There's a used Cali that looks pretty sick and my dormant GAS is beginning to bubble up....lord help me. I imagine they are up there with...

    My Van Halen Synth Demo

    i have yet to tackle Mine all Mine. I've been scouring the web as well looking for any clues but can't find much info. I"m pretty sure an OB8 /X type emulation would have the basic dna to the sound. It must be a basic sound in there somewhere as Eddie typically didnt use anything crazy for...

    My Van Halen Synth Demo

    Thanks! I just gotta work on cleaning up the performance on some parts which won't be too difficult at all. They are fun sounds to play. The only other synth sound that I really don't have is Mine all Mine (OU812). The one thing about VH synth songs is they all def have a similar feel/structure...

    My Van Halen Synth Demo

    Tell me about it! though I don't collect keyboards like guitars which is why i do the VST route mainly for the array of sounds but if i were doing it proper with a good keyboard I'd go with a Yamaha Montage M8X like @GitGuy513. I have my NI S88 Mk2 for the full sized/weighted keys experience...

    Atomic CLR's to Studio monitors

    I can't comment on translating to FOH as I don't do that but my guess might be the FR10 out of the two since the FR12 has more bass response, though its not night and day either. the FR10/12's are more cab like than FRFR. In my case, I'd say the CLR's would translate best to FOH. Others who...

    Right Now - Van Halen intro sound (with vid)

    Starting off with a lot of caveats here....take with a huge grain of salt as I'm recalling this off interweb.

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    this is precisely why I enjoy playing my guitar through the FR's over my CLRs. That being said I don't adjust anything in my presets for playing through one or the other which is the best part. CLR's still are kick ass though just more clinical and flat which I prefer when playing clean presets...

    Oh wow a Montage M8x. you're not messin around! I'd absolutely love one of those but would need to sell a kidney. I've had a number of Yamaha keyboards (Mo8, Moxf8, MM8, currently a MODX+ and also my NI S88 mk2) the Montage has always been on my wish list!!

    Right Now - Van Halen intro sound (with vid)

    VST synths -NI/Omni/Arturia

    Been doing doing more research on this and listening to a lot of online demos going through the presets from Ominisphere and Arturia's Collection V. Both are great from what I'm hearing. I think the edge for more authentic analogue sounds go to Omni. Arturia gives you a plethora of emulations...

    I just read this the other day. Funny you mention it. The Tele. I had no idea. Yeah there's def some doubling with his baritone /silhouette bass that he has. I saw a Pete Thorn vid few weeks ago and he recreated that runaround sound doing that pretty much.

    Can anyone speculate as to the effect/sound going on in the bass clef Eddie plays ...in particular when he hits the octave notes of B flat and D. I've been trying to look it up online can't find much discussion on that. I figure he's layering a synth sound over top the bass notes or perhaps its...
