Chasing Eddie Van Halen's Tone | Three Must Have Pedals!
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- At one point or another, we have all tried to chase the one and only Eddie Van Halen's tone. Back in the 70s and 80s Eddie was using gear that now a-days would cost more than most peoples houses cost. I have come up with 3 affordable mini pedals to nail Eddies 3 iconic effects. That being phase, delay, and pitch bending. By adding these pedals to a high gain amp, I think it comes really close to capturing his iconic overdriven tone.
Check out this video for a full demo and review of each pedal, and of course we are going to rip through the 5150 and play some Van Halen riffs (Sammy and Dave era stuff, be cool!) Which pedal was your favorite? Let me know down in the comments!

Jake you are responsible for the sales surge of the Mooer Pitch Box.
Theo Ravelo haha I’m told that a lot.
The Donner Harmonic Square will give you the same -2 detune plus you have dry and wet mix levels Jake..
I just bought a brand new one and it was delivered yesterday from Canada. It was bought several years back and never used. Bought it because of one of your videos. Turns out not only does it sound just like EVH in his Hagar era, but it's a cool little pedal for other tunes through my BE-50 deluxe Friedman amp. This with my Boss RV-6 pedal sounds mind blowing. Thanks! Who knew this was such an invaluable pedal? Evidently, Jake did.
Agreed
I bought one after watching this video.
Love the runaround and best of both worlds demo, top of the world, pound cake demo !
I love the Mooer pitchbox. When I’m feeling lazy and don’t wanna change tunings on my guitar, I use that bad boy to drop or raise my tuning. It’s super accurate and very very low latency. You have to listen really close on chords to even tell it’s shifted. It works really well for that Balance era Van Halen tone too!
I bought a pitch box after watching your earlier review of it. Has been a mainstay on my board since.
Awesome man. Just brought them off Amazon. Keep rockin dude. All the best from the UK!
Those mini pedals are pretty cool! I have a mini MXR carbon copy that was a gift from a viewer & it sounds amazing!
Johnny in your opinion, if im wdw would i use two of these going to my two wet sides, one at -2 and the other at +2? Im trying to figure out a way to come out of my boss sde 3000evh to get the proper detune sound on a budget.
I bought the pitch box the day that video came out lol
Jacksonkellyfreak nice! Grab them while you can!
I just bought one because of the video too!
Got me interested and I can’t even play evh licks lol.
I bought the pitch box on your recommendation, thank you Jake!
Very cool, hope you enjoy it!
The pitch box is awesome jake, I got it after watching your vid, I have an mxr evh phase 90, now need to get the delay, i have a noss katana artist mk1 and I generally play evh stuff on the brown channel and use the on board flange effect if needed, sounds pretty good
brucielee82 that sounds awesome!
Dude thank you for this, sampling the combinations was so helpful but the nice touch of labeling "Loop" was just class. I'm on the chase these days.
I've never seen anyone play a ''The Strat''. There's one just like yours on Sweetwater for $1200. Sounded pretty good tho.
Mooer 90 Orange is a fantastic phaser pedal. Vintage and dialed all the way back is VH1 and VH2 all day long.
Its a great circuit, at a great cost!
Great demo 👍🤘👊😎
I had a very hard time getting the pitch box .. I waited about 3 months before I got it.. well worth the wait for sure.
Great video Jake!! I have the Mooer PitchBox & love it. Need to check out the delay pedal. My Peavey Amp has both phase & delay but it doesn’t have many options.
KurtS5150 thanks!
Hi. Are you using the Phaser at low settings for rhythm only ? Thanks
Great playing, those are awesome riffs to show off those effects, you chose well
Donner makes a “harmonic square” pitch pedal for about 30 bucks that does exactly what the pitch box does but you can also control your wet and dry signal so it’s almost perfect in capturing that dual rack mount effect he has going on on OU812
Thanks! I just placed an order for two out of the three pedals. I've been playing for years but never been a pedal guy. I'm just looking for something to help get closer to that tone. I love all VH but I lean towards the Hagar years more.
I’m curious about the Flashback and if you have a custom tone print or just dialing in a setting from the knobs. Cheers
Yes
Great Demo Bro! ROCK-ON!
flash back pedal is the best one thank you posting this video
Thank You , Thank You!! For posting this VH pedals it makes it a lot easier to figure out!! Love it 😍 Thank You for sharing your techniques!! I’m going to order me one ☝️ now!! Lol 😝 beautiful 😻!! Keep up the great work. Do morrreee!!! 😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thank you!
Do you forget the Flanger ?
In last years finally he used wha wha pedal...
Awesome video message and thank you
Thank you!
Can you please show the pedal settings you set to get the early EVH tones and the later Van Hagar tones? Thanks.
Great vid bud !!!
Thinkn bout a detune rather than a chorus
And 1/2 the price of a bOsS
I want the FUCK album tone
What are the best settings on the mini delay?
Awesome job...and Thanks..!
Thanks for watching!
You’ve also forgot the “Flanger” too his main effects were Phaser, flanger, delay and the Eventide Harmonizer
I think he used a flanger. A slow sweep on some songs.
Great demo. You can get this stuff for way less though.
Got a mxr phase 95 for 65. Got a Azor analog delay for 20. I'm missing the harmonize though.
Mecha Nintendo Master interesting. Might have to give Azor pedals a shot!
Nice playing!
Great video, man! Your demos are really cool. I have a question about the pitch box though. Do you think it would work nicely as a more subtle effect on Eddie's softer 90's songs like 316, Cant stop lovin' you, and the intro to Feelin'? Or would you say its more suited for the heavier tones like in the songs you played in the video? Thank you!
Aidan Wray it does both pretty good! Without a mix knob though the effect is always fairly strong.
How convenient. I just so happen to have a peavey 5150. Now we wait for the mailman lol.
dude WHAT MODEL Strat is that! i'm in love with it! im also wanting that blue one next to a pink one and green!
pitch box is so cool🤘
Where would I put the pitch box in my signal chain
Jake, quick question for you brother...the settings for the TC Flashback mini? Are they all set at 12 o'clock, or was that just the thumbnail pic? Desperate to know! Thanks, Dan
What would the setting be for the TC ELectronics Feedback/delay pedal?
Great video
Aint Talkin bout love is a flanger in the intro
Are the settings on the Flashback all knobs in the middle, is what you are using to get your delay sound?
Also -2 on the Mooer?
Thank you.
euhm... what about distortion / heavy overdrive?
What settings for the flashback pal ? Thanks
I've read a lot of ppl saying the Mooer Pitchbox has a lot of noise and latency. Any truth to this? Thanks!
I got a5150 I think that covers it :)
Hey Jake . How important is it to have the delay in the effects loop and not in the chain ? Thanks. Great vids. RIP EVH.
Very important. You want the delay to be after the distortion otherwise your delay effect will overpower your sound and you won’t be able to hear anything. Imagine 2 guitars turned up to 10 playing different songs at the same time. If you don’t have an effects loop, you can get the same effect by running your amp on the clean channel and use a distortion pedal before the delay
Alex Stchur thank you 🙏.
nice guitar
Where those the actual settings being used on the pedals shown in the upper left corner?
Would you share the settings you found for the ninty orange and flashback delay?. Thank you for sharing this video for the ones that are on a budget.
Just got it
Nice video but what is your settings on the flashback mini and also is your amp set on a clean setting or do these pedals have the distortion let me know thanks
I bought the pitch box after your video, great! Could you tell me which setting are you using on the phaser and on the delay?
May I add the Mooer Ds2 pedal
It’ll get you Evh. Nuno satch and Vai with the pitch box
What are the settings of the flashback pedal
Jake are you using the delay in effect loop or in front of amp?
Never mind I see that you labeled it on the video 😊. Do you ever use the delay in front of the amp?
Almost always in the loop. Just sounds cleaner to me.
Eddie ran his Echoplex and other pedals into the front on the first album for sure.
Wow. What brand is your guitar? Pedals sound great!
i subscribed after this video.
what else you got lol
good job
Thank you! Uploads every Friday!
Great video and playing... I'm looking for these pedals..
What was the settings on the TC Electronic Flashback Delay?
Is the Pitch Box noisy ? Or no problems?
I have a marshal dsl 5c watt combo amp What do you use for an overdrive or distortion pedal
Is one of these pedals what you need to play cathedral?
Does it sound bad if you put them all together
Nope! That's how I normally use them
@@jaketanis3069 thanks
@@jaketanis3069 can you make a video how to get Eddie Van Halen overdrive
@@scottthewozznijak359 if u don’t wanna have to crank an amp super loud, do what I do get a crisp bright clean sound use wampler pinnacle pedal dial that in a bit of plate reverb and tiny amount of delay boom done
...and what dirt pedal do you recommend?
I use my amp gain
Wampler pinnacle ed in a box
What pickups are in this guitar?
What website did you buy these pedals from
which toneprint?
Would have been nice to see the pedal settings as player is too busy so you've only got still pics superimposed. Way off here, but also I would be whining buying this stuff and then realizing I need a EVH or Marshall stack to get the sound of your player-at least name the amp and cab and mods he uses.
Bonus: you've got a Boston screensaver-are you a MA resident, such as I? THX
Por favor, toca el tema de Van Halen bien, mira un tutorial o algo...
I am looking for an inexpensive delay pedal. The evh ones are way overpriced!
What pedal do you recommend to get that Eddie distortion sound?
Suhr Eclipse
I have the MXR Phase 95 Mini, and the MXR Mini Carbon Copy... Both stupendous pedals with more bang for the buck than the larger brothers.... The MOER "Solo" is a great mini Distortion box...
What amp rig are you playing through?
5150 LBX I
Great playing. I don't think the Pitch box is really used on early Van Halen, I don't really get it, just sounds like a heavy chorus to me. The phaser all the way down is a key element, I think even at 9 o'clock is too high. I have the MXR phase 90 mini, got it at a good price. I also have the Flashback delay V1, years ago I found a toneprint of a tape delay that I have never replaced, I set that to one repeat for most VH tunes. You can get a chorus effect from the modulation setting on the Flashback if you set the delay and Feedback very low. I think you need a flanger though - I hate to buy one because I will probably only use it for those few VH tunes that need it (Unchained). Does the EVH lunchbox use EL34s in the power section? Thanks, playing sounds fantastic.
The only DLR era Van Halen that really utilized a pitch shift was Fair Warning. Incredibly noticeable once you listen to the isolated track of “Mean Street”. Great riff to play. Wondered what I was missing, turned my pitch shift on, dialed it in immediately. You wouldn’t really notice it until you do. Just my two cents
Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, we tried our hand at an Eddie Van Halen tribute video. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you would check it out. It's on our channel. Don't be too tough on us :)
Aint talking bout love uses a flanger.... not a phaser. Still an envelope filter and will pass but its not it
he didn't use pedals
Or you could just buy his pedals that they sell
Your dry ,,sounds a hair like eddie's sound but not much..//////////this is the sound ,,phas90 chorus ,metal distortion ,no reverb, comp,, /////// ... Jose load box helps
Hey bro your poor man's guy...
Way too much treble
I want the EVH brand pedals not that garbage you're trying to pass off
