Do the room mics sound crazy crazy loud to you?

Some of these "new" clips that are coming out show more of what his raw sound was, before Ted and Donn worked their magic.

 

[NorCal_Val]

Yep. The recording of “VH II”

 

[Exo-metal]

What is that?

 

[Ben Waylin]

What is that?

Schaffer-Vega Wireless System

As a pedal..

 

[Exo-metal]

That's part of the signal chain for sure. Who makes that?

 

[Ben Waylin]

That's a cool pedal...who makes it's

I made that one, but it's a clone of the SoloDallas "Storm".

Are they drinking “the bull” and Shaffer beer?

 

[rsm]

Angus Young used (uses?) one of those Schaffer-Vega Wireless Systems.

could it be what's missing for those trying to emulate EVH early tones? ?

I watched an Angus Young rig rundown and his tech said he uses it for the sound, not just a wireless IIRC.

Looks like a variac next to the drink can.

I think Mike Soldano did a rough estimate that the variac Marshalls put out about 40W. Still blisteringly loud, of course, but maybe not blowing out the windows like a straight-up 1959 would.

I just watched a Fryette video where they variac'd Dave Friedman's favorite Marshall and it came down to the same ballpark, about 50W, so sounds about right. And yeah, stupendously loud.
