I was asked many times in the comments under a recent post I put up 'How I got my Van Halen tone' which prompted the making of this video. I am not aiming for a perfect Van Halen sound by any means but wanted to showcase my settings for the Blackstar AMPED 3 which I feel does a great hard rock sound that adequately covers Eddie Van Halen's 'brown sound' but also suits many of my other influences.
Copy the settings from the screen or take a screenshot and share so long as you tag me in the post. ;)
