check this guy's brown sound!

OK so I updated my HD500, but can't get time alone to check out the Plexi yet. My power amp/speaker cab is across town in the studio and I hate playing this thing with headphones. So in the meantime I checked youtube to see what people have done with it so far and stumbled across this EVH tribute:

I hope the original poster doesn't mind me posting this link - I figured he would want y'all to hear it otherwise he wouldn't have upped to youtube....

Enjoy!

Great sound. At youtube I requested that he post a file here at the Customtone archive.

    I did just that and it is pretty cool, I compared it to the other EVH patches on Custome tone and I believe he used this as a starting point:
    
    http://line6.com/customtone/tone/216368/
    
    The settings shown in the video are around 90% the same as this patch - swap in the Plexi 100 Brt for the Park, add a studio EQ at the end of the chain with a high end boost, some tiny tweaks on the Tube Driver, swap in the Phaser for the Whammy and it is pretty much there...here is a copy with the settings as close as I could figure them out from watching the video (the exact values are hard to see on my computer):
    
    http://line6.com/customtone/tone/218449/
    
    I am going to try some better EQ tweaks tomorrow, I messed around with the first patch (216368) a bit and I already like it a little better than this one...

      yes glenneke, I am aware of that. A file would just be more efficient.

        Most of his settings are the same as the tone he started with (216368) and if I am not mistaken he left every knob on the Plexi 100 including the DEPs at their defaults. I would bet he did not touch the cab DEPs though hopefully he will post to Customtone and we will find out for sure.

Re: check this guy's brown sound!

I have updated my EVH tones on my demo site:
http://foobazaar.com/podhd/toneDemo/#evh

http://line6.com/customtone/tone/218451/
http://line6.com/customtone/tone/218450/

I also have a couple older ones on custom tone that are rated 5 stars (right now). I think the newer ones are better though.

The vid has been removed, but I think he posted the tone here: http://line6.com/customtone/tone/218482

WOW just took a look at his settings and compared to what I copied from the vid and boy were my settings off... like I said it was hard to read the numbers in the vid. And I see I put the phaser in the wrong spot in the chain, oops...
