Brilliant playing and very entertaining and informative too, cheers from Merseyside UK 🇬🇧

[@duanemcknight3895]

I wish I saw VH live.❤

[@stephenkerr5792]

I always listened to very heavy music. When I heard van halen I was shocked of Ed's sound. Ever since then my tones have drastically change. All the frequencies are clear and has some serious thud!!!!

[@LAboomR]

I’m born in 55 so VH 1 1978 was my summer Lp Riddin my Harley to the beach, “ a drink in my hand & my toes in the sand” I’m 58 now so those being young Lp’s are my happy memories 💙

[@AntonovichHicksenbrau]

432 !!! 👍🏼🎶

[@stephenkerr5792]

That is killer Andy you play that really good man it shows that you put alotbof love into playing EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!

[@alexmbrenner]

Dude amazing video! You nailed the sound! 90’s VH sound never really gets talked about as much as it should

[@wendelllaffin240]

as soon as I heard the first 10 seconds of audio I got the immediate chills... wow

[@ContemporaryFingerstyleGuitar]

Thanks Andy for sharing your insights and for playing! I've rethought that EVH era sound since watching. I thought the biggest ingredient was the harmonizer. But the majority seems to be the SDE 3000. Of course, so much of it was in his hands, too.

[@andywoodmusic]

yeah the harmonizer is actually way more subtle than people realize. its ALL about the 3-d delay sound

[@davidyergensen4509]

​​@@andywoodmusic wholeheartedly agree that the SDE plays a large role in the Van Hagar era guitar. For what its worth, I truly believe that in order to nail the Poundcake tone you need to add the Eventide Harmonizer micropitchshift with an unmodulated -9 cent detune in Left Cab and unmodulated +9 cent uptune in Right Cab. There are countless online forum threads which debate EVH only used the -9 cent detune and those stating he used -9 and +9. I personally use the -9 and +9 in my old Eventide H3000SE. PS - Thanks Andy, for the great music. I had the privilege of meeting you in the Suhr booth at NAMM many years ago, and then saw you jam with Guthrie later that night. It was something I'll never forget.

[@stephenkerr5792]

Hello wow that sounds sick brother inlove it and I'm also greatful for you doing this andy!!!

[@wakjob961]

Thanks dude! All the VH content is amazing.

[@BillFromDeadAirRadio]

I’m late to the party on the conversation, but the Hagar years rescued my favorite band! When Dave left, I had just become a VH fan, so I was crushed when Dave left. So when Sammy joined I was thrilled. It was almost like a Who kinda vibe, as Sammy was like a modern day Roger Daltry, and it was less gunslinging, but the songs were just so good. And the FUCK album was just the pinnacle of that era. Andy Johns captured the band brilliantly and really took the sound of the records to the next level.

[@ksharpe10]

Thanks Andy for these LIVE streams, God Bless you.

[@stephenkerr5792]

That's crazy cool man you're burning up thet fretboard wow!😮

[@KingGaming-oi1ir]

I recently found a "used" Wolfgang Standard on Pro Audio Star for $359. It came brand new in the box. I saw them in 1995 in Indiana Deer Creek

[@kahmhalen4094]

5150 was my introduction to Van Halen. Changed my life. Love Roth and Hagar Era’s.

[@zellarecords6195]

Whoever thought a mandolin bluegrass player, “Wood”, shred the EVH like no other!!! F’n Killer.

[@trickthaddy]

This is awesome

[@duanemcknight3895]

You have a Great, Great, Great sound and very accurate sound memory memory of Eddy's sound and might need that with my twist as well. Thanks for my memory as well. I was around for VH 1. Running With the Devil was my first memory of that song on my Aunt's stereo cranked up. She was gone.

[@Jay-sy5yf]

Soooo helpful. I almost bought 2 extra amps but learned from you i could use one amp plus two notes! Brilliant!!

[@brownsfan7753]

This is so fun to watch you rock out on these VH riffs!! My favorite band and the whole reason I started to play guitar!!

[@BillFromDeadAirRadio]

I been fighting every urge to get one of these! So excited they finally exist!

[@EVEROSFP1]

Props for the tribute to the late 80s and 90s era VH sound. Right now is the first song i tried to figure out! I really admire your humility although you're in a very high level as a guitarist...Wish you everlasting progress and happiness!

[@ibanezgj1]

Andy, simply awesome!!! Thanks for sharing, it totally made my day... I was fortunate enough to see Van Halen twice with Roth (Diver Down & 1984 tours) and seen them with Hagar about 8 times.... Even though I love the early stuff, I prefer the Hagar era. I just feel like the song writing got better and after a while the Roth antics start to get old.... Keep up the great content, greatly appreciate your efforts and the inspiration you provide.... 🙂

[@RPHDWideGlide]

My EVH-SDE 3000 is scheduled to ship end of June-1st week of July.This video has me fired up!!!!

[@KingGaming-oi1ir]

I became a Van Halen fan after 5150 and the Live Without a Net concert VHS. I was 13.

[@craigrosen6908]

Sounded great, Andy! Looking forward to the Woodshed!

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

EXCELLENT...EVH rules forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thomasmorrismusic]

First time visitor - Pictured with 2009 EVH Wolfgang w/low number

[@7thString84]

Haha! :D Andy, it's amazing! My tone is nearly exactly the same by accident! And I have TOTALLY different gear. An Ibanez AZ2402 Prestige, a POD HD500 and Yamaha HS8 monitors. On a Rectifier-esque amp model, V30 speakers and a 67 condenser mic simulation (and quite a lot of EQ). It's astounding! You play an A power chord, I play an A power chord and it's like I'm your delay. :D

[@herbertroxas]

Started with For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album too when I was young, but my all-time favorite VH album is Balance

[@WEHileman]

Sounds great

[@vincent33195]

Ed always had some dry signal running into the wet cabs.

[@michaelkennedy2190]

Most of us have lusted over Ed's tone. Brown sound or modern tone. I ordered one from sweetwater today. Awesome demo and hang Andy 😮

[@michaelkennedy2190]

I plan on using mine when it comes in with all types of Van Halen. All 80s. Music. Pete Thorn said the EVH short delay was like an always on type setting. Looking forward to it!

[@kevinp_25]

Great video. Did you ever get the rig built with the harmonizer? I have an FM9 rig, wdw, with three FRFRs and it's beastly. I also have real amp wdw rig with the SDE 3000EVH, Micropitch, and a reverb in a parallelizer. EVH 50w stealth is the main tone. Wet cabs are powered by a Powerstage 700. That setup is also amazing.

[@keithmulcahy3417]

Absolutely nailed the sound for sure but man the playing ouch it’s hot

[@donaldyoung9838]

Hey Andy You Definitely Got The Tone In Your Fingers An Your WDW Setup Amazing Sound An I Have The EVH 5150 Combo I Need Two More An That EVH Pedal But Unfortunately The Wife Would Kill Me One DayI Need Your Setup Thanks

[@mojodojo5533]

Andy have you reviewed the Wolfgang specials? Would love you take on them. I have a couple including a MIJ tobacco burst special. Can't make it play as well as you, but seems like a solid instrument. Did hear the gray one with the Skanks. It was hot!

[@LAboomR]

The day Ed dropped his body I listened to VH3 now it’s my fav. I wish Alex would do a instrumental release of all the Cds. For us, the guitar players. Like those cool isolated tracks with Ed except with Alex and all the rhythm guitar tracks. Why not?

[@jonnydubai]

Fabulous. Think these are the EVH Wolfgang special and are about 1000USD??!! Great vid 🤘❤🤘

[@andywoodmusic]

Seems like AMS or someone was running some crazy deals lately- can’t remember who- my tech does though- that’s why he snagged these

[@RodRanDusted]

First concert, Diver Down. Smoke starts bellowing under the curtain. House music stops, but arena lights stay on. Then Ed just starts ripping asses for about 30 seconds… House music resumes until showtime.

[@johnboy10]

Hi Andy ,just ordered this pedal thanks so much for the demo. Quick question, do you think Eddie tempo matched the delays to the songs? Thanks man.

[@mikecorey8370]

EVH and Sammy were it for me. Everything they did was great. Roth was hit and miss for me.

[@xderiwx]

This was awesome, thanks for doing this! Just curious, Andy, are you using the IBJ55 picks here? I was looking into purchasing some, and I was curious how well they work for stuff like Van Halen, where there's a lot of pick scrapes. Being that the BlueChip material is so smooth and the IBJ55 is listed as having 'Universal Rounded Bevels' at 1.4mm thickness, is there enough of an edge that you can still produce a pick scrape? Thank you!

[@taylorwyatt333]

First off, I’m late to the party, I thought I was the only who loved this particular era of Eddie’s tone, For Unlawful Carnage and Balance, you’re older video with the three amps, wet dry wet video was awesome. Do you have a video showing how to play Amsterdam, specifically that chorus, it always sounds like the guitar stumbles into the chorus and I can’t figure it out

[@andywoodmusic]

I tught it on my patreon if im not mistaken!

[@taylorwyatt333]

my timeline is all screwed up, this is the older of the two videos, I didn't realize that wet dry wet 5150 III video was a month ago and this was 8 months ago. Sorry for the confusion, graveyard schedule will make you miss some things. @@andywoodmusic

[@Hobbietone]

“I’m on a low budget.” 😎

[@scottpeters4401]

I just got the EVH SDE-3000..it really is EVH in a box…Are you using 3 studio monitors for your wet dry wet?..

[@3000KTM]

andy please can you recreate the live without a net tone for the axe fx 3 !!! you’ve done the 90s tone - which everyone does , can recreate that 1986 tone please & share it

[@stephenkerr5792]

Did he use a swing tempo for that riff!!!!

[@Harvey00]

Could you use the new Friedman ir pedal with the new Duncan stereo pedal and a tube amp? Or is that dumb

[@monico1964]

Hi Andy, I love your videos! Any chance, I can ask for help. I have two Kempers one is powered. I also have a Axe Fx ll. How would I go about connecting the Kemper for Dry and Axe for wet to use as a wet dry wet setup? I wish I knew how to use the axe better. Trying to get monster EVH 90’s tones. I also have three Kemper power Kabs or three tube amp setups. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I watch all your videos, thank you for all your work.

[@jamesnorton7601]

Andy we gotta get you Joscho Stephan to hang and jam. He like's the idea, mentioned it to him. Anyways, that was a JOe Biden. Van Halen was huge in the 80's and only got bigger in the 90's. Us 40 year olds didn't quite get it, we weren't there. 90's Van Halen had heart and soul and creativity. What more do you want, right? Stay healthy guy.

[@KingGaming-oi1ir]

How you compare this Boss unit with the Eventide micropitch?

[@jeremyjameslv]

where do you get them for 700 bucks? the specials are 1100 with the hipshot. i would like to only pay 700

[@frankxv500]

Will the SDE-3000 vibe with a Boss ES-8?

[@mikecorey8370]

DUDE!

[@stephenkerr5792]

Could the helix floor get Evh Tone?

[@jmnjoe1]

Hey Andy are using your gearbox and the compressor for your drive

[@tonecrazy]

Now you need to get a H90 and a parallizer so that you can mix in the Eventide dtune. You can not run them in series due to phase cancelation so that is what the parallizer is for. HAHA, I see you addressed this in the video, Nevermind lol.

[@andywoodmusic]

Stay tuned ;)

[@clarkie101]

back to the blues mate ways cheaper🤠

[@cdvh5150]

Great video, you nailed the tone, what presets you using on the sde3000evh? And of the 4 evh presets which one do you think is for what song or era? Caue i only know of eds 398 798 setting for his rolands. Hope you understand my question

[@andywoodmusic]

The medium and the short. Medium feels like right now and most lead tones, short feels like Top of the world, Amsterdam etc

[@Jaxisagod5]

Andy have you been able to re-create anything close with the Fractal?

[@andywoodmusic]

Absolutely. I have an entire video on it!

[@DonGWood]

Wonder how I could hook up my GT1000 Core to that. Wow

[@andywoodmusic]

It would take a tone of extra gear. And it still would be an approximation at best- I’d say just snag this pedal and boom. Done.

[@carlossalazar4508]

Channel and settings??

[@jamiemichael2928]

Was the Unlawful Carnal record solely Soldano amps?

[@andywoodmusic]

No. There was also the Marshall and a John suhr (caa) preamp involved

[@michaelclark5020]

What is the pedal called

[@tpap6827]

Best tone is the Marshall Plexi Superlead with a Fat Cap with 2 Celestion 25s and 2 JBLs. The Echoplex, phase 90 and Variac with the Frankenstrat which was real a charvel body and neck with s single volume And 1 pick up which he claims was a PaF but he definitely used a hot pickup too like a overwound dimarzio with a 12-14k output vs the 8.3 or so on the Gibson PaF

[@mizzydizzy7036]

アンディ最高(＾ω＾)

[@ATX0705]

Dang! You started guitar at 17 or 18?! That is VERY LATE considering how great you became. I always thought I started fairly late at 15. There were very little resources when I started, with zero family and not many friends that played any good at the time, and very little online resources back in the mid-2000s. I'm now trying to make up for it with the wealth of resources online/on KZbin and sites like TrueFire for instance. Of course it's not as easy to extrapolate since when you're older your brain is more or less hard wired already. Gotta make up for the lack of neuroplasticity in older age by stock-piling a ton of stuff.

[@andywoodmusic]

Yep. 17/18 ish

[@ATX0705]

@@andywoodmusic That's indeed awesome!

[@TFT-bp8zk]

Sammy was not supposed to be the original singer what BS I'm sorry I gotta say something about that one. Yes, he was on a short list of possible gets early on when Ed was already looking to replace DLR because of his whole thing.

[@TFT-bp8zk]

Same with the Daryl Hall comment. Chrissy Hynde was higher on Ed's list of Roth replacements than anybody else.

[@tpap6827]

Van Hagar was Eddie still playing well but the tunes were not like the original VH. On 5150 songs like 5150 and best of both worlds still had a similar recognizable tone and vibe to earlier Van Halen . I had the Ernie Ball Van Halen and that is better than the Peavy Wolfgang. I also had a peavy 5150. The fender EVH gear is better than the Peavy stuff. But that classic EVH Marshall Brown sound is untouchable

[@tpap6827]

Mids are essential 😅

[@tpap6827]

I love Balance and. 5150 but not a fan of Hagars vocals
