[QUOTE="Mike P, post: 108570, member: 2263"] Well, there are several factors in play here but the most important is that I don't like EVH's tone on VH1 and that wasn't what I had in mind when I recorded this clip. Also, I used a Mojave 201 and a Vintech (Neve clone). Van Halen's classic tone was two '57's through a modified API console. API's are really aggressive and "fast" mic preamps whereas Neve's are softer and more "pillowy". I've owned API preamps in the past and just didn't care for them and that sound for my recordings and playing. Lastly, I wasn't trying to replicate EVH's tone verbatim. I'm sure that if I took some time, I could get much closer but to be honest, I'm not really interested in trying to replicate his sound. I haven't moved or even touched the microphone position since October 2010. I wrote the drums, then the riff and tracked it all in less than an hour. I'm sure that someone more in tune with EVH's playing and style could dial in this module to perfectly replicate his early tone. I'm just not that guy. :wink: [/QUOTE]
