Ever wanted that "brown sound" from a pedal?

Try this on for size...

So this guy whips through his own instrumental version of House Of Pain and throws the term "brown sound" out there as if it were in Webster's Dictionary without a single mention of the phrase coiner and brown sound extraordinaire, EVH?? I find that a touch sheisty.

[ELVIS]

I like...

Very cool. I read somewhere that part of Ed's early album sound was partly due to Donn Landee using a plate reverb in the mix at the studio.

I have to assume the EVH law team would swoop down on this with the quickness if he mentioned Ed or VH..

Here's a bit more informative view...

And here's another demo:

That pedal really sounds nice... very impressive unit. It really nails that early VH sound.

I've come late to this thread, that's amazing.

Worth getting just for times you don't want to carry a bunch of shit around.

Hmm not easy get a hold of outside the US...

Shouldn't be too much of a problem, given it's country of origin...

[Seshmeister]

Jeez I assumed it was American!

A great pedal made in a socialist country, ELVIS is going to be very upset. :)

Thanks for the link, the UK distributor seems to have a pretty dodgy website but it's a starting point.

I should probably leave it until next month anyway as I've been going a bit crazy recently on the music spending... :)

A friend of mine lent me a Chinese made (Joyo?) over-drive pedal that wasn't a whole lot different from this one. Only $40. That's cuntsiderably less than whatever Frankenstriped pedal Ed has out. I wonder where EVH pedals are even made.

Ive been checking this out , its pretty cool . In a do it all the easy way sort of way. Which am all for :)

Tho I need to be careful as a recovering pedalaholic , one day at a time etc

I've read quite a few negative reviews about this pedal...mostly about noise...

It seems the brown control is a phaser circuit and you can hear some phasing in the demos...

Another complaint is that the gain isn't really variable but more on or off...

There are plenty of good reviews though and the reverb gets high marks across the board...

I saw one went recently for $103 on eBay which is very reasonable...

Is it common for reverb to even be a function of this sort of pedal? Wouldn't most guitarists, or in ELVIS' case, guitar players, (:biggrin:) prefer to work with their amps reverb?

It's still there.

I very nearly bought it, looks like it's going to be close to 3 times that new here.

A Chinese made Joyo over-drive. It sounds like a sex toy to me.

This drives me nuts. Could there really be a difference in sound worth paying an additional $50 for?? Who gives a crap about the paint job of a little metal box meant for stomping on??

On te EVH one, the little white switch changes it the the eqivalent of the orange cursive model...so isn;t it like buying both versions of the orange one? Almost a deal from that persepective

Check out the Carl Martin Plexitone (2012). Simply the best brown sound pedal on earth.

I tried the Mad Professor 1...didn't work at all for me. Maybe if you had a really clean amp it would work? ''

[Nitro Express]

I got the MXR 5150 and Bogner LaGrange pedals for Christmas. The 5150 pedal is great. Sounds very close to the amp. The LaGrange is cool. It has a variac switch and you can make it act like an old Marshall being ran at low voltage.
