Author Topic: New EVH Amp? (Read 11641 times)

OK this is all gossip at best. But there are some pics of a new EVH amp on this thread. Acording to the gossip he's going to be using all Fender guitars and amps and have a Seymour Duncan model pickup. The guitars will be like the Charvel Art Series and there will be a new Wolfgang. So from what I can figure the porn business ain't paying that great and he needs the income.

So, Seymour Duncan finally let them make a EVH model pickup... I wonder if the EVH which they call "Evenly Voiced Harmonics," will become the Eddie Van Halen pickup now.... story has it that that was built for him but he wouldn't let them market it in his name so they changed what EVH stands for but if you call Seymour Duncan and ask for the Van Halen pickup, that's what you get.

Personally I think it was the Van Halen pickup... it's the vintage cut magnet that's slightly overwound, and what he said he was doing was taking pickups from Les Pauls and sometimes Seymour Duncans and re-winding them with more windings back in the day.

Wait a minute.... does Eddie Van Halen still play? lol

He does still play but he looks kinda like a homeless woman.

I've heard the story about the EVH humbucker that Duncan sells. The naming reminds me of the fact that they insist that the JB stands for Jazzy Bluesy. :roll:

You know he could have just bought a Splawn Quick Rod and some VHII pickups and been all set really.

Eddie has discovered that while his music isnt earning his so much money these days - having signature gear does- so Musicman, Peavey, MXR(DUNLOP) , Seymour Duncan, Charvel and now Fender are doing his lines.

He has become quite rigourous defending his intellectual property in recent years.

But this is nothing new - is there a product that Zakk Wylde doesnt do (apart from Razor blades) - same with Dimebag etc etc

Probably making more from liscensing the name than selling CDs

EVH aftershave - because everyone needs their own eruption[/i]

More like spot cream to control eruptions.

So who is making the EVH amps these days (I couldn't be arsed looking it up).

^thats probably why he was using a marshall despite having two of these new amps on stage in a pic in another thread on here.

:D I bet its just another version of a suped up Marshall.

He should have just got a Charvell & stuck a VHII in it, plugged it into his modded Plexi & off he went. Saved himself all the arsing about.

Anyone else think the new Eddie tone with the basswood bodies, high output pickups and 6L6 powered amps sounds far worse than his older tone with ash bodies, PAF and 6CA7 powered amp?

Johnny Mac · « **Reply #11 on:** October 08, 2006, 08:23:36 AM »

OK from a photographers point of view....

Doesn't it strike you as too obvious that he is using a Marshall?

I mean it's only a head you can see that gives it away and that could easily be out of sight.

Is he on a wind up?

Oh who cares!! :lol: :lol: :roll: 8)

lol.... once you get over one row of knobs, I can't figure out how to work the thing...

And the worst part is, I have a degree in computer science... this stuff should be easy for me.

I've heard that the JB was made for Jeff Beck and then it has no relation and back and forth... I still have no idea which it is so I kind of leave it alone.

True, but with dimebag it's more companies putting his name on all sorts of pickups and guitars he never even owned one of and may have not even seen half of them, not to mention played them...
