I'm glad someone opened a thread on this. When I heard Tattoo, I was extremely disheartened; Eddie has opened a new chapter in his tone.
His tone sounds nothing like the first 6 albums, or the Van Hagar Spammy era. His tone now sounds like someone dialed his tone up in 30 seconds at a Guitar Center on a crap amp. I'm not saying his amp is bad, the translation to Pro Tools just didn't occur correctly. I also know that Eddie doesn't want any compression or eq added once he's recorded. He frequency range is stretched to the lows and highs taking over the mix, not in a good way and it's over saturated. The saturation with the bass is too much; add Wolf's bass guitar in there and the whole mix doesn't work. If you listen, Al's snare literally disappears at times cause Eddie's tone is not brown.
I'm not trying to stir anything, I just really love great tone of the first 6 albums, and to me, my opinion, his tone is horrible.... Go listen to Tattoo, and then put on Unchained!
It's the digital realm that makes his tone so harsh...
Way too much clipping...
Maybe people forget when they heard Running with the Devil it was analog and not this sampled digital excuse for tone which Ed has zero to do with. (he actually threw a fit over it years ago)
