EVH Cafe Wha? Guitar rig

[Hardrock69]

That is exactly what it is.

Here. A little easier to see after I did some magic on the image:



And.....for curiosity's sake, you guys can see how he has his FX set.....

Wish there was some pics of his amp head....and Wolfy's set up too...

Would be cool to see Ed's "secret" rack with the Lexicon PCM70s and the Roland SDE-3000s - sure only if he still uses these units.

Here's a picture from 2008:

Think it's a loop switcher; hard to tell on the Blackberry, but wanted to star the thread while I had the image link handy (was chillin' at a hookah bar..lol)...

To Nitro's point, remember this is likely a waaay scaled-down version due to the size of the venue. Probably just the house side-fill for Alex. Looks like 3 cabs (per the Metor forum the grille cloth was removed - very old-school, and one imagines it was left-right wet and center dry?) and maybe Sir WARFsalot could verify, but they say he only used the single EVH stealth the entire night, not needing to switch to a backup..

Metro also speculates it was the 100-watt EVH 5150 III, but again due to the size of the place can't help but wonder if he used the 50s instead...

Those amps sound decent with the master volume turned down actually. I don't use any kind of attenuator with mine or pull the tubes. It's nice you can play them at home or turn them up in a bigger place. What's funny is they do sound better turned down in a smaller place. I bet they were just standard 100 watts head because most the dirt comes from the preamp unlike an old Marshall.

I guess you can't tell what Santa gave me for Christmas.

He's still using those old H-H power amps. I guess why not if they are still working. Power amps have come a long way since those things ruled the world.

I've looked into that Boss Super Octave......

for the money...I think I'll get a Pog2 instead!

[jhale667]

I've tried the Boss one...cool, but seemingly not enough to make me rush to buy it at the time. Should probably revisit it...

[Jagermeister]

No EQ?

And thanks guys. That's pretty cool.

[ELVIS]

I think Edward's new sound has way too much pre-amp distortion and buzz...

His old sound was pure power tubes and speakers both ready to blow...

That place was really small. Maybe Ed just wan't sure what he would really need.

It's the same on Tattoo...

[Jagermeister]

It's the same on Tattoo...

Yeah it's different for sure. I still think it sounds more like a Warren D tone.

[jhale667]

His tone still sounds better to me than it did in '07...

[Matt White]

I think its the new amps...more of a modern "Mesa Recto" tone than his past Plexi sound.....

all part of the evolution.................

I mean hell...the guys been playing since 3 days before dirt....he's gonna change over time...

[Matt White]

Yeah...I don't know what that was all about.....

it wasn't the over-processed sound he used for....well, FUCK them anyway....

Just not right for him...maybe he was road testing some of the prototypes....

just lacked BALLZ!!!

[ELVIS]

His '07 sound was super loud with almost zero definition...

I rembember thinking how can it sound that bad...
