Ed's 2012 TONE...Wow!
All I can say having been 10 ft away from 3 raging EVH 5150 III full-stacks the other night is the Ed's tone is KILLING again...gone is the 2007 fizz...yes, there's more preamp goin' on, but this time it's not harsh or buzzy...all three channels sounded magnificent, and his effects (artfully used as ever) sounded HUGE - lush and spacious. I was beyond impressed...our guitar hero is back, and firing on all cylinders, as is his rig!! I love the cabs with no grille-cloth too, very Fair Warning kinda vibe visually. It also bears noting I didn't walk out of there (more) DEAF, either...it was plenty loud, but not punishing or painful...
After the full CD's out, use this thread to discuss Ed's tone, use of effects..how his chops are back through the ceiling :eek: I remember someone saying they hoped he stayed away from the wah...well, it's all over "The Trouble with Never", and it's a GOOD thing...
