I've said it many times, but tone is probably the reason why most of us simply wanted to even give guitar a try in the first place. The way a guitar sounds in any context it's used in feels so good and just right for reasons that might be surreal. Achieving the tone(s) you want really motivates you to keep playing!

My understanding is that "brown sound" refers to EVH's use of a variac to starve his Marshall amps of power, thus giving more distortion at lower volume (i.e., the amp suffers a power "brown-out"). In the story I heard, they first discovered the effect when they accidentally plugged an amp which was set for 240V, into a 120V source.

@dananorth895

An interesting effect regarding 12ax7 input tubes is at higher rated voltages they put out cleaner notes, but down around 100 v. they become nonlinear, distorted or blusey. Also single coils tend to put out less than 1v. Coulomn pressure "voltage amplitude" where as doubles obviously push the imput grid harder. Also higher frequencies push grid and distort easier hense the " tube screamer".

The whole album Short Bus by Filter has a very unique sound to it that I haven't been able to replicate. I saw a write up in Guitar magazine about how Richard Patrick got that sound on the album, but I brushed over it because I knew who Filter was, but I hadn't heard anything off the album Short Bus at the time.

I'm pretty sure "brown" sound is named after the term brown out, which is when the electrical voltage is running at a reduced capacity. Eddie used a variac to reduce the voltage supplied to the amp so he could run it hotter without worrying about it failing catastrophically. Some amps have this feature built in now, like some Mesa Boogie amps, or the Suhr SL68. When you flip the variac on, you can see the LED light on the amp go dimmer. That's the brown out affecting the amp.

Read similar story about dropping the supply voltage to "under" drive the lamps, but with the difference that he was unwinding the wire form the transformer and thus dropping supply voltage. He might have done it in the beginning, but a variac transformer is a much simpler solution. I have ordered my Spark late this year, was delivered fast here in the EU and it's WORTH it, for all his current limitations. For this price nothing will touch it by a long mile. There was a buzzy transformer problems in the begining, but now until you add a lot of distortion, with a properly wired guitar you'll think it' dead, for being so quiet. Added benefit: you don't have to crank it up to have the full sound. WILL buy the next model 100%.

does it have like a alice in chains tone where its heavy but not hard rock heavy?

I'm a bassist myself, but the tones I would love to emulate if I get a guitar are The Edge's sonic science from U2, Tom Scholz's 1K-spiked sound on Boston, and Andy Summers' soundscapes from The Police

Awesome, thank you for taking the time to provide this info, super helpful. I have to say the Boss Katana brown sound is great in my opinion, no pedals needed...

That solo you did for the “throaty” tone you did ROCKED!!!! 🤘🎸 🤘👁👄👁🤘

Thought it was called the brown sound because EVH reduced the voltage to his amp. A brownout = reduced voltage

Took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly what I always thought. He'd often play below 90 volts depending on the venue and volume he wanted to play at. He mentions his 89 volt sweet spot for recording in some interviews

I mean he did allegedly use a variac, but thats not why it's called the brown sound. Variacs dont cut voltage to everything. Just to the amp. If I recall Alex originally used the term to describe his drum sound, and Eddie just liked the description. But half of the stuff you hear about EVH is just lies, shenangans, red herrings, and horsemouthitis anyway, so who knows.

Believe it or not, Eddie referred to his brother’s snare sound as being “brown.” He called it warm, big and majestic and he wanted his guitar tone to have the same feel. Once he unleashed that high gain, sustain tone, it was forever known as the brown sound.

I still have not tried to get that An't talking about love sound. I keep saying I ll do it tomorrow even though I have Floyd Rose. The reason I feel so nervous chasing that tone is I fear it may become an obsession if I do not find it. The song also involves inside picking which I need to research more.

Two sounds I love 1.Jack Butler clean/hall tone effect from Crossroads 2. Gary Moore: Still Got The Blues tone

I loved the tone of the last guitar the most. Thanks for this video 🥲

I already own the amp, and it’s a cool little pc of gear to play around with. I’m here so see what direction someone else would take and the results they achieve. And now that I’ve seen it, I think my time would have been better used on the amp itself. The presets are already better than these. Sound is subjective, and to each his own. Everything seemed too muddy for my taste.

I would like to have seen the amp tone settings, because I think that makes a big difference.

The lushes smooth clean blues sound that speaks to your soul in a sultry way.

​​@@Patrick-857 Blackmore sound = High output single coils, Strat, Fuzz pedal, treble booster, Plexi. If you have a master volume tube amp try going to max on the master volume and use the preamp gain/volume to control the actual volume. Add a tubescreamer or similar and have an EQ in the FX loop and you can get all sorts of famous sounds. Gives you that power tubes distortion you would usually get playing at volumes that lead to visits from law enforcement and the overdrive takes care of the preamp. EQ to shape it. My amp is terribly fizzy so I cut the highs and boost the lows but you might want to boost the treble. EQ before the amp can pretend t9 ve a treble booster but a tube screamer with the tone turned to the brighter side is closer to what the classic treble boosters did, they weren't necessarily an EQ more of an overdrive. Black Sabbath = P90s, treble booster/tube screamer on bright, Plexi style amp or the master volume thing I described. Amp EQ treble high, mids high, bass almost none, start from 0 and add to taste.

@@user-lv7ph7hs7l Yeah definitely power amp saturation is the way with the classic sounds, modern sounds are definitely about a very clean, high headroom power stage, and a lot of preamp gain. The classic amps also had power supply sag and all kinds of fun design flaws that added tastiness to the sound. I'm a fan of all good guitar tones tbh. The thing I want to get across is the idea that you can go a long way with any amp if you know what you're doing, and especially if you have an EQ pedal or two and a decent OD. And throw in a muff, a fuzz face style pedal, a chorus and a delay, and maybe a Rat, and you'll be able to get most tones. I love me some Rat distortion with a bit of delay. And I love a nice thick, chewy wall of muff distortion too. It isn't all about chugs.

Gilmour's tone is the the best tone for goosebumps

I'd say now LoFi pseudo jazz tone is very popular similar to the perfect clean but with a bit of defect and warmth. I also love a clean funky R&B sound, your perfect clean you did here, and occasionally the throaty sound at the beginning. Oh, and also ACOUSTIC sound! A great acoustic tone people look for! I have been playing a heritage with some custom kent armstrong pickup in it and I absolutely love it... we just recorded some more Gospel Funk material and it was spot on. I love playing the hollow body and I don't play jazz at all
