Hi there!

I reached to this incredible tone by chance, last night I was listening to the song Amsterdam by Van Halen, and had the feeling that the ENGL model would fit this tone (yes, ENGL)... So I used some tricks to get rid of the ENGL's boom and massiveness, and added some treble to obtain that killer nasty-glassy tone of the album Balance.

The trick here is to add a Blue Comp Treble in front of the amp to illuminate it, and use a couple of parametric EQs to get rid of some frequencies.

As usual, I use a 4 Band Shift EQ to sculpt the tone firstly, and then I work on specific frequencies using the Parametric or Mid Focus EQ.

I also use VERY LOW GAIN (20%) on the amp.

Finally, I added just the exact amount (mix) of Analog Flanger to make it perfect!!!

NOTE: This tone was made to use with COMBO POWER AMP OUTPUT MODE

Other Output modes may sound very bad, I tried Studio Direct through my Thonet & Vander system and sounds very trebly and lacking of warmth, like an artificial tone; very bad... So if you want to "translate" this tone to use it with other output modes, you´ll have to tweak it perhaps a lot.

Hope you like it!!!!

P.S.: JIM: give it a try, I know you use Combo Power Amp mode with your JVM!!!

Cheers!!!
