EVH 5150 Overdrive does da BROWN sound...

[petethorn]

Some have said it won't do the BROWN thing. I disagree, I think that it really gets a great approximation of that tone

 

[Fragglerick]

Pete Thorn would make a Boss Metal Zone sound awesome.

 

[Stramm8]

What amp were you using Pete?

 

[petethorn]

What amp were you using Pete?

PT100 on CH1

 

[mystixboi]

Holy lord. That was great

 

[John 14:6]

Pete has done a LOT of cool videos, but I think this is my new favorite.

 

[EVHpickdust]

How do you feel this compares to the Mad Professor 1 pedal?

 

[Anonymous]

Who can concentrate on the pedal? That was some of the most awesome EVH "in the style of..." playing I've seen to date! Really great job!

+1. Had that swing

 

[ewill52]

Damn you sir. Damn you. You cost me so much money!

 

[messenger]

That sounded killer

 

[Badronald]

Yeah, sure Pete Thorn. I will not fall for your demo voodoo. I will not spend more money because you made a cool video.
Dammit.

 

[AndyK]

It's really not an OD, more of a distortion. And since I don't own a clean amp - I can never get the same Thornian results!

Exactly what I was thinking too

 

[dfrattaroli]

Damn you sir. Damn you. You cost me so much money!

Haha. But we all know, you can't buy what Pete has. I watch Pete's videos and then turn and look at my gear and wonder "How do I get it all in the fireplace?"

Was thinking the same thing. I'm dying to get a good distortion pedal to put on top of the clean channel in the Mark V:25.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Pete makes everything sound good and this is no exception... so technically yes, I am sure it can get that sound. However, everywhere else on youtube where there is a demo, it sounds like a compressed toy compaired to the real amp. Fantastic playing though, I agree with everyon else!

 

[charvelstrat81]

So i buy a $1000 EVH amp and this $150 pedal gets his old tone better?
And for you pete, awesome playing as always!

Hey dudes thanks for the kind words!
It's just a great sounding pedal to my ears- to get the brown thing, just keep the game down a bit below half, boost the bass and treble a bit and have the mids halfway or a bit less. Use an amp with fender style clean with no bright cap or bright switch on. And use a closed cab with a greenback type speaker if possible. Should sound just like this!
