This is actually a demo of the MXR Phase and Flange pedals but played through a RA 100. I think its a pretty convincing EVH tone.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Sounds pretty good. I wonder what the settings are.

That is a pretty good sound.

You can see some of the settings in the video. They were using 50watt mode, vintage hi with gain around 2:00 and no multi-soak. Not sure about master or EQ though.

For a VH tone? Not close to me, not even in the ballpark.


You want VH tone listen to this.

Nope. Did you listen to the video link I posted?

The original clip isn't using G12M-25s. You can hear their chirp and breakup all over the second clip.

The second clip sounds amazingly close to the original recordings. I am not surprised considering its is pretty much the same amp the EVH used on his first couple of records. Also, there are some spot on delays and reverbs which I suspect were added post production. As far as I can tell, the RA100 demo was using the live effects advertised. Also, for some reason, the RA100 demo was not playing the exact VH tunes, but was playing more "in the style of" VH. As stated above, the speaker selection undoubtedly played a part. IMHO, the tones on the RA100 were more than "in the ballpark" to EVH, but not so much as the second clip.
