It's really good and makes a great case for the Fender. Honestly at this point, I see slaved all day long. Variac'd and cranked sounds awesome but it isn't "that" sound. Slaving is.

all very interesting info and i remember VH talking about how great his bandmaster sounded for use warming up backstage.
i think ossie did a beter job blending in the direct signal and his di sound was better too. the result of his experiment was more convincing, but this guy plays vh way better.

again if this DI theory is part of the equation then it needs to be integrated into the amp like an onboard parallel di blend knob/circuit you can mix into the sound. the thought of needing an amp 1 to load and run into amp 2 and taking a DI into yet another path for me is just so impractical for anything other than cobbling together for home enjoyment.

which is sad because when done right, a tone that cool should be used live and on big records!

Wolf’s effort was noble but that song he did with his dad’s amp and gtr should have NAILED the old VH tone. how sick would that have been? he still has time…

Wolf has enough coin to hire Friedman, Gausted, Ossie, Suhr, Matt Bruck, James Brown, Metropoulos, James Santiago and Pete Thorn for a week, lock’em in 5150 with dad’s 12301 and their respective amps, and design a one stop solution to all this madness. call it the Wolfgang Amplifier.
bypassable “pre-preamp” fx loop with ep3 preamp, flanger, phaser,

cranked/attenuated/variaced core amp with graphic eq and di blend in parallel mix circuit to a dry cab out,
and a wet line out with built in sunset sound reverb, micropitch and ep3/sde-3000 delay options.

he has 4 years to get it ready to release for the 50th anniversary of the VH I release!

2nd cab discovered during VH1 sessions!!!!

I think Suhr Sl68 or Friedman's new plex would be a better choice for early VH tone

You're high on crack!!
Neither will/are as close as Ossie gets! SPOT ON!!

All that bandmaster talk makes wonder if Jose used some of that DNA in Ed's main amp!?

Ed ran the AUX OUT of the Bandmaster into the front of the Marshall 12301.

It’s a real shame Marshall doesn’t hire a guy like Ossie to build them a ‘The 12301’ amplifier to honor the EVH early tone.

They’re missing a huge opportunity.

It's a shame Marshall doesn't do alot of things. I would have never let Santiago go but you are correct, alot of amp talent out there they could tap into. As a Marshall diehard, it pisses me off.
