Man....Eddies tone was righteous during the early days....I also miss Michael Anthony's backing high pitched backing vocals.....now this was the Van Halen I knew back in the club days and late 70s.

His tone went down hill from there... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_lwocmL9dQ

According to Mike Doyle's excellent History of Marshall,much of VH's brown tone came from an old 1959 plexi half-stack that was not modded in any way and had the "lay-down"transformer.It was an early '68 model and the filter caps were not top mounted to the chassis like the later '68 models such as the one owned by Tony Brown that belonged to Jimi Hendrix.

The evolution of EV's tone always sounded good to me. Even when he tuned to standard pitch from 1/2 step down in the DLR days.

Yea? I thought he played in standard tuning during the DLR days.
