1995: Van Halen выпускают свой последний альбом с Sammy Hagar. По пьяни Эдвард самостоятельно делает себе короткую стрижку. Бороду не режет.
1996: Sammy Hagar уволен/свалил (тут разные слухи) из группы. Van Halen судорожно пытаются заполучить обратно David Lee Roth, чтобы снова поработал своим ротом (да, он тоже был уволен/свалил еще в 1985 году). Попытка была провалена. Can't Get This Stuff No More - спел хитрый Давит своим ротом и послал братьев нацветочек.

"Рич, огоньку не найдется?"
i've been searching for, what to me, is the perfect recorded guitar tone....to my ears. It's come down to Van Halen's Balance. I prefer it far and away more than the razor blade sounds of the early records (even though I love those too). What the heck did he use on that album? I've heard soldano, 5150, his old marshalls,etc. Have any of you guys with axe-fxs try to get close to this tone?
That sound is all Eventide H3000 micropitchshifting and lots of gain in a W/D/W setup. +9/-9 cents micropitchsift left and right, 500 ms delay R, 250 ms delay L. If you do this and set the amp right, it IS the Balance tone. Axe does it fine with that pitchshifting...
FlyAngus from this forum has had the Balance tone absolutely NAILED before with both a Soldano SLO and also an AxeFX. He was playing both rigs while we were talking one night on Skype and i swear it was like listening to the Balance album tone.
Also there's something about the tone from the EBMM EVH/Axis guitars. They really work perfect for that tone!
... и добавил:Listen to the album with headphones. His "dry" signal is on the left side and the grease is on the right. Way back when on the
VHML (VH e-mail list) there was a list of easter eggs to be found. On the song the Seventh Seal, you can hear a bee buzzing into the
microphone if you listen closely. Ed also used a 335 I believe on the solo for Big Fat Money.
Crazily enough, Peavey's Tubefex preamp has a patch called Browncake (the default 1st patch) that cops the
major gist of the tone on Balance.
Or as others have said, the +9 and -9 on the detune into a dirty amp w/ some delay will get you in the ballpark.
