Thread 'Van halen 1 choke wasn't a c1999 choke'

Oct 29, 2024

Hello Guys analysing the high quality pictures of the amps used in the 1978 tour in japan,

You can clearly see that the choke used by the main amp isn't a c1999 choke. Why is this important ? between a 3h and 5h choke there is quite a huge tonal and feel gap.

This means that it was changed after the japanese Tour.

For those who didn't know Eddie's choke was never stock old 12'000 series come with c1999 paper version and no metal bell covers. In Van halen 2 recording session you can clearly see a c1999 with metal bells those came out around 69 until around 73 if i remember correctly...

Wow impressive. The only improvement would have been a look at Valerie’s underwear drawer.

Here’s me ruining the intro to Source.
