How to get Eddie Van Halen Wet/Dry/Wet 90's Guitar Tone with BOSS PS6 and Palmer Speaker Simulator

WARNING EPIC GUITAR TONE ALERT!
The #EddieVanHalen guitar tone on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is probably my favourite guitar tone of all time! I've tried to achieve it for years AND FINALLY, I've got it down pat using a #BOSSPS6 and a #PalmerSpeakerSimulator. I have three EVH 5150 III cabinets but unfortunately don't have a power amp to run them properly to get that Wet Dry Wet sound so I mimicked the tone inside ProTools. Rig rundown is simple!

this tone is so heroic. brought me back to some real 90s nostalgia

[@edwardskol1812]

Never heard anyone nail this tone as good as you did! Hats off to you! RIP EVH 🎸🎶

[@MetalMayhem1978]

Look up the guy “Deraps” on KZbin. He has a great sound as well. Just as amazing.

[@elimarsilvanikock7818]

amazing

[@DoktorDamage]

@@MetalMayhem1978 Yep! Jacob does the EVH thing great! Has a great sound too. He played onstage with Dweezil Zappa and Steve Lukather I believe.

Wow finally a "how to sound like Eddie Van Halen" video that actually sounds like him

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Can you do a video comparing the different versions of the 5150 heads - the III and last modification? Thanks !👍

[@ianjones2731]

There's dozens out there, nothing against this guy who is great...but there's a lot of guy's (almost) nailing Ed's tone.

Just watching this makes one realise there was incredible depth to Eddie van halen as a musician . The strive for perfection in his tone was as equally impressive as the playing itself . Many players can play impressive but nobody has ever made tone such a science as van halen .

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

Nailed it.

[@henrymacleod2188]

You broke out into the jam and were Alex, Eddie and Sammy all at the same time. Amazing brother!

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

HELL YEAH BRO!! 🤘🏻⚡️🤣

[@primaballerina84]

90's VH my absolute favourite era. Not just for the tone but especially the next level musicianship they took it too. Mature somehow, squeezing out more of their potential.

[@Mark70609]

I’m a bigger fan of the tone on the first album.

[@manutobyvideo]

Wow dude, this is the best Vh 90's sound in a video! I am immediately gonna listen to For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

[@johnvansmirren8626]

wow!! kick ass sound. I saw VH live in 1993. Playing this song. For weeks I still could not believe what I heard. 4 people and such a broad sound. You nailed it bud.

[@simply3141592654]

very underrated EVH tone.

[@TrebleMidBass]

No, 80s were all about eventide h3000 dse tones / eventide h910 / TC 1210 and soo on

[@henrietta6423]

That guitar screams really really Eddy Van Halen scream's sound. These are awesome recipe. Thank you, Dude..!

[@peterknicked]

EVH ran one main head. from the Send of the amp a mono signal went to the rack. The micro pitch from the Eventide through the rest of the effects went to a H&H Poweramp and then to the wet cabinets. The head went to the dry cab directly. Hence W/D/W.

[@julsrique9148]

Brother my respects to you! You got a passion a dedication to the music that is like no one! You are the men! God bless you!

[@Mike_VH]

Amazing. Loving your videos more everyday

[@glennjoslyn385]

Hats Off to Your Skills!!! Great Video..

[@TeleCustom72]

Brian May was running wet/dry/wet with tape delays in the mid 70s. Cool video btw, definitely gets that vibe Ed had back in those days.

[@cobowe]

Eddie massive fan of Brian May... So he used to use a boosted Ac30 before his Marshall’s with a slow phaser ala Brian. Eddie called it the “Brian “ sound.. But Alex suggested renaming it the “Brown” sound

[@CokordaDeGuitarLab]

wow...awesome Jeremy!!!

Very talented guy, congrats I loved it 🙏

[@danielarviso4156]

Awesome man

[@franciscopacobarreras9270]

This tone is so under appreciated sometimes, of course I love Eddie’s early Plexi/echoplex tone more, but, this is still a fun tone to play with, specially in wet/dry/wet. Good job, sounds more to me like the balance era, cus in that balance tour he really saturated the Eventide tone, which no doubt made it sound wider. Good job

[@toddahay317]

Dude!! You are AWESOME!!!!

[@viniciusfranco8444]

Incredible!! ❤

[@primaballerina84]

Gotta figure out how create a similar tone with my AX8 in my home studio Well done mate!!!

[@poomshai]

Wowww you really sound like Eddie, that's awesome!!!!!!!

[@sirgerbilmacintosh9101]

Sounds great. It's probably my favorite guitar tone. Those albums came out just as I was getting into guitar and I'm still trying to achieve that sound. I probably do need some sort of wet dry wet to really nail it. On a side note, the 1st time I saw Van Halen live was on their "Right Here, Right Now" tour, and Vince Neil opened with Steve Steven's as his guitar player. Good times.

[@Patrick-857]

I say do something similar to what this guy is doing, so you don't need three amps. Either an amp into a load box with speaker simulation, and put the Harmoniser stereo outs into two delays or a stereo delay, plus the dry signal into your interface, or if you're jamming maybe three full range powered speakers. Alternatively there's preamp pedals, feed one into a impulse response pedal, and then split into wet dry wet. Lots of 80s session players abandoned amps altogether and use rack gear to get a mono tone with preamp and speaker simulator, and then split out into wet dry wet, and fed three signals straight to the desk, so they could walk into the studio, plug in and immediately lay down the perfect tracks every time. I'm somewhat frustrated that we don't have a single pedal option that does great preamp, power amp and cabinet simulation all in one, we seem to need multiple pedals to get close and the tone isnt as good is the primitive gear in the 80s.

[@JohnnyBeane]

Sounds awesome man!!

I knew I'd see you in the comments here! 🤣🤣🤣

[@vitob5898]

Just seen this for the first time sounds great, yer given me some homework to look forward to my brotha.... I use a 5150iii 412/ a Friedman deluxe and a slew of pedals man thanks for the new inspiration 🧨

[@CRAZYCANUCKTV]

Awesome brother, I always blow my buddies away by playing the van hagar, everyone knows how to play the earlier stuff, I never stopped there lol.

[@kmarguitars]

Great Job Bro! I got the same pedal for to do the same thing! But without stereo! Your tone is great! Congratulations!

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Thanks man!! The stereo gives it a while new dimension, but still sounds cool mono. Try it both ways and see what ya like best! 😄 please subscribe! 🤘🏻

[@xderiwx]

Hey, how have you been finding the PS-6 for a mono setup? Still using it? Thanks!

[@guskalogeros9021]

Cool vid. Definitely that 90s era tone

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Thanks dude! It’s pretty close I say 🤘🏻

[@deans.4705]

sounds awesome. Wish I had the whole setup.

[@bruins1itall]

Holy Danny Banaduci meets Charlie McAvoy! Great tone bro!

[@69novaguy91]

Sounds spot on great job ... I was watching a show where Steve Vai was showing how he puts his sound together from the pedals he uses and how they are wired and also was explaining his version of how he sets up his amps and he also has his version of a wet / dry / wet set up and how he uses the stereo outputs on 2 Boss digital delays and he too has the time duration settings on the delays at different speeds , I was blown away at the fact that he achieves his sound with actually very limited equipment actually using the old standard Boss pedals that anyone has ... Mind you I can bet his have been hot rodded out a little with out giving away his full secret LoL But I would have thought piles of rack stacks etc and not some old school Boss pedals .... actually caught that video here too on youtube .... wish all this info was out there or even the internet when I was 16 learning my guitar Again great job thanks for the info Cheers from Canada, Ontario

[@even200x]

that tone is spot on

Spot on. Love Eddies guitar tones on the early records. Also love the 90’s tones. Just so damn fat.

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

So fat an saturated, I love it!

[@gstmusic69]

Freakin fantastic!!

[@lzryd]

Well done with nailing his Sammy tone. That Pedal Show do a good job explaining wet dry wet if ppl are confuzzeled about it. Glad u hit upon that it's cool how our ears can trick us, like a trompe d'oreil, into hearing effects that...arent there. Imo Wet dry wet works best with time based and or stereo effects. You can experiment with order and putting effects (even boosters and dirt boxes) into the effects loop too. I'm currently using an Orange Dark terror (dirt sound dry) into a 4x12 with Celestions with a Roland JC120 (wet and clean of dirt) and it covers bases beyond my meager talents lol. You can use an A/B or A/B/Y spitter anywhere in your pedalboard or chain and mix what goes where. I love the DIY happy accidents I find. It's loud with six speakers but that's what attenuation is for. I got used to hearing things through computer monitors only for hours on end and the difference with wet dry or wet dry wet stereo is huge. ...Literally and figuratively. Cheers, Brian from Detroit.

I've used two IR Cab sims with different delay times L/R in the DAW. Just by chance since I saw the option on the pluggins and liked it so much. I see why now.. I'm a lifelong VH fan. Harmonist pedal to the wish list!!!
