@ng41275 Glad someone finally watched this video 😆

Jump the channels from top left to bottom right and plug in to top right and set high treble to 4 and normal to 6 or 7. EQ to taste but I have everything around 2 O' Clock

Thanks I'll try that!....​@@anthonyjwilkerson

Sorry for asking so much, but what reverb did you pick on your RV-6 ? Spring, Plate, Room?​...thank you! @@anthonyjwilkerson

@@Terry_Aki Hey so this isn't the RV-6 it's the Sunset Studio Reverb from IK Multimedia, but I do use the RV-6 in the loop of my Fryette sometime and I usually use the plate or the hall settings.

@@anthonyjwilkerson ... Must have saw it in one of your other videos? ...Thank you!!

@@rique_.leal. thank you so much

Thanks I really appreciate the views!

@@dangergtrmods my dawg 💪

@mtitus27 thanks!

@jaxta2 it was a cabinet IR. GGD Zilla edition

@@anthonyjwilkerson Thanks vey much - sounded great!

Edit: i just saw the describtion on the other video, so i see you used an fx loop on the fryette to get the effects i guess. Very interesting, i didn't know attenuators did that and always wondered how people get the effects on a cranked amp. Especially because i also know that the fx loop on the plexi is pretty much useless because it gets so much of its drive from the power stage, wich makes me wonder how the attenuator makes it work...

@marcrchz nah here's all you do. You gain your amp, you set the delay for the setting you hear in this video. Should go guitar>flanger>phaser>delay. It's set for a single repeat and very low. Too many repeats and it will muddy up the signal. So basically it's just barely on. Eddie switches it on and off depending on part of the song he's playing. Mostly you hear it in Ain't Talkin Bout Love and the chorus section of On Fire. Often he will switch it on for lead stuff too. If you're getting noise, like hum or hiss that's different. That could be a grounding issue or a problem with a pedal itself. You may get some added hiss from pedals that are on simply because it may just be a pedal with a high noise floor. All my pedals add a little white noise when turned on. No big deal that's normal.

@marcrchz this video was before I had the fryette. The verb in this video is just the room I'm playing in. The delay is just in front of the amp. On the video with the Fryette, I have a Boss Reverb the loop. The reason that works is because "basically" what the Fryette does is "reamps" your amp. The fryette is basically a power amp with a load box built in. So you turn up the Marshall just like in this but it's just hitting a load box basically, so the marshall essentially becomes a big preamp. The Fryette has so much headroom available that it won't distort the effects loop unless you crank it's volume all the way too. I hope that's making sense. It's very similar idea of having a clean amp and running a distortion pedal with a delay after it. Just sort of glorified.

@@anthonyjwilkerson Yep, makes sense. With a delay you can sort of get away with it in front of an amp, the verb you need a clean signal.

I wanna add The Fryette is definitely an impressive piece of gear, i tried the SV20 for the third time now but couldn’t get satisfying tones, but i also always run a clean amp and then get my distortion with pedals (Ds1 + tube screamer), wich the plexi without a master volume isn’t great for. I think the SV20 just has less gain than the JCM800 or Silver Jubilee. Would be interesting to try out a fryette with a plexi

@marcrchz 15 ohm. It's the standard EVH 4x12 Cabinet they sell.

@@anthonyjwilkerson Thanks for the answer, im deciding between G12M Greenbacks and EVH Greenbacks, but 8 ohm ones. Are you familiar with the differences? I thought the EVH sounded a bit warmer and less hot, but it sounds very good in this video.

@marcrchz what kind of cab are you putting them in and what makes you want 8ohm over 15ohm?

@@anthonyjwilkerson So i have a 2x12 closed marshall cab and i actually already have 2 G12M Greenbacks with 16 ohm. I already tried all the 3 20 watt studio marshalls (except the newer jtm vintage thing) but the top end is just really sharp and scratchy even tho i pretty much already turned all the tone knobs down. I thought the issue might be the speaker and i read that 16 ohm speakers are actually a lot more high end heavy and less warm, wich i also heard in videos comparing 16 ohm with 8 ohm. So i‘m now thinking of getting 8 ohm speakers parallel connected into 4 ohm, and maybe thought that the EVH 20 watts would be better than the G12M. Still unsure though

@marcrchz in my opinion the standard greenback is a VERY bright speaker anyway. I think the ohms have less to do with it. The EVHs are more scooped and have a bit more bottom end. I think getting the 15ohm would be just fine and maybe a little better because you could use them in other cabinet situations since most other modern speakers are going to be 15 or 16. Also I'm halving the load of the amp. I'm running the 8ohm tap into a 16ohm cab. That to me is the secret sauce.

Dimarzio 36th anniversary.

@@anthonyjwilkerson Thanks, brother. Sounds amazing.

@@ReductioAdAbsurdum thanks for checking it out!

Danelectro Reel Echo

Thanks!

I'll do a VH set up video soon but it was the Guitar>Vintage MXR Flanger>MXR CSP 101 Phase 90>Danelectro Reel Echo>Boss DM-2W>SV20H in that order.

Actually I lied, what I used was in the description, I forgot I didn't use the DM2w in this video.

Thank you!

@@anthonyjwilkerson You are welcome. Kind of curious about your guitar. What pickup? Still using the D Addario Pure Nickel strings? That guitar has the vibe; that's for sure!

@motrock2 it's a Duncan Phat Cat actually. The guitar is some sort of strar body with a Mighty Mite neck

@motrock2 these are the pure nickels yes

@@anthonyjwilkerson Duncan Phat Cat.. never heard of it. Will have to look it up. Just got a Gibson 57 Classic Plus. Going to try that in my Frankenstein.

There's no boost or anything. Amp/fryette and I have the phaser and flanger and analog delay up front that I switch in and out when necessary

That means a lot, thank you

Yes I had it all in the order of the signal chain.

@@anthonyjwilkerson thanks dude, sick tone

@@anthonyjwilkerson btw, what was the process like of switching to the 6CA7s? Was it easy? Hard?

@user-ty7dm3md8w very easy. Just take out the old tubes and put in the new ones, you don't have to rebias.

@@anthonyjwilkerson oh sick!

Dimarzio 36th Anniversary PAF

@@anthonyjwilkerson interesting. i knew it was low power

@geezberry8889 I'm pretty convinced the first three records were something low power, but it's just speculation. He was using rewound pickups from Dimarzio, Duncan and himself at the time and I think even some Super Distortions

@@anthonyjwilkerson sounds about right

On the guitar or the amp? Guitar was wide open amp settings were like everything at 2 o' Clock, volume 1 at 11 o clock, volume 2 at 3 o clock or so. Jumpered high 1 to low 2, plugged into high 2.

@@anthonyjwilkerson thank you so much dude that answers my question

Thanks! Hope you enjoy it, it's a great amp

Thanks!

Awesome!

@@anthonyjwilkerson I also have a 5153 EL34 50watt head. So I also wanted something to match it. Along with having the MetroPlex. This is going to be fun breaking the speakers in. Friend of mine told me it takes like 60hrs or something like that! LOL

@motrock2 nah, I had a blown one and replaced it with a new one and it already sounded broken in

It's actually an Ampeg with a Marshall logo! Good eye

I can't remember but I think the speaker sim I used was an Alnico Cream

@@anthonyjwilkerson thanks a lot- you should really do some more Hendrix covers as you can totally nail his playing style

Stringjoy Broadway strings are supposed to be the same ones Eddie used back in the day. I have considered doing some modifications to my SV20 but thus far I think it sounds OK. It's just super loud lol

@@anthonyjwilkerson I have the StringJoy Broadways. Compared to the Fender 150s; they are just ok. Ed used Fender 150 9-40. Only difference now is the gauge. I prefer 9-42 personally. I think the SV20 in your clips sound great. Only 2 mods.. the 50k Mid Pot and 330uF Fat Cap instead of the .68uF on the second gain stage. The biasing on the 6CA7s when variaced down 90v... 50MA per tube. All of that is from Dave Friedman's information when he rebuilt Eds amp. But yeah... this stuff is FUN! I am having a blast messing around with all of it!

@@motrock2 I'm not sure exactly how close the SV20 is to an "actual" plexi, but I have thought about changing the mid knob to the 50k and adding the fat cap but I'm not sure if it's even possible on something like this

@@anthonyjwilkerson I am at the understanding its the exact same circuit as its 100watt big brother. The 50k mid pot is the BIG change. Tonally with my 50watter; there is a mid frequency shift that brings it right in to that Ed "thing". Aside from more gain/saturation; that smoothing out of the "crash" is key. That breaking glass thing in the treble smooths out. Totally blew my mind when I heard the difference. George Metropoulos did the same mods with the MetroPlex MKII that I just got. The amp just sings with it. Once i get that amp paid off I am jumping all over those EVH speakers through Sweetwater. That will be the final piece of the puzzle. Seriously though... you are SUPER close with the SV20. One day I would love to own one also!

@motrock2 thanks man! Maybe I'll see if my amp guy can do those couple mods

I wouldn't mind hearing more of the EVH Speakers with this setup.

@motrock2 my other van halen videos on the channel are all the EVH speakers

@@anthonyjwilkerson Cool!

Thanks!

Man I honestly can't remember how I set but it was subtle.

You could take the 5150 III to any gig and be able to get the type of tone you need in any genre because of the three channels. I love that amp and I highly recommend it, however some people seem to have reliability issues with them, but honestly you could probably say that about any amp. If you're looking for the Van Halen thing, the marshall will do a more accurate version of the first 6 records, but if you want a lot more versatility the 5150 is the way to go. It will do classic Van Halen, but also can do great cleans and super high gain stuff as well, plus it has a master volume. You could play the 5150 at bedroom levels or in an arena. I'll have to do a video on the 5150 soon.

A video editor I am not lol
