The Van Halen Balance Sound

Hello everyone, here is part 3 of my ''Brown Sound'' videos, as promised! This one consists in replicating the tone from the Balance album which is my favorite of Ed's sound BESIDES the classic Brown Sound. Believe it or not, it is basically the same sound, same gear with a different production... Not a lot of people know this but Eddie actually used his Plexi, a Variac and his Music Man on most of the album, only a few songs involved a 5150 amp. I hope you enjoy this video, I have a lot of upcoming stuff, including a full cover with this tone, stay tuned!

Amp: Germino Lead 55 / Variac 91v
Speakers: Celestion Greenbacks Reissue
Guitar: Ernie Ball Music Man Axis
FX: EVH Flanger
Post FX: Harmonizer, Delay
