For those who don’t understand the M&M bit, Van Halen were known for having the venues they were playing at have a bowl of M&Ms with no brown ones to make sure that they actually cared about the band
It was actually a clause in the contract to make sure the promoters read it. Bands will tell you how bad electric can be at some venues along with crappy stages, dressing rooms, etc. The clause ensures if the promoter doesn't meet the contract demands the band doesn't get sued nor are they forced to play the venue.
only brown eddie wanted was the sound... M&Ms that are brown sonically take away the Brown Tonally from everything else in the venue! true story
@@devinsinderwitcz9134true story.
I can confrm that my brothers band Autograph went on tour with them in 1984, and my brother Randy the bassist(RIP)
told me all the stories, of after parties.
@@cliffords2315 I had heard from a friend that EVH told Steve Lynch to not do any tapping while on the tour. Did you ever hear about that?
I just found out the craziest thing about this pedal. I had it in my room which I don’t usually do and I was just about to sleep and had the lights off and realized that the knobs on the pedal have glow in the dark paint on them. I guess so you can see the knobs on a dark stage
I think MXR does that on all their pedals....my CC m169 glows like that
Peter is really getting into these demo's! loving his enthousiasm!
The sound it made actually really actually blew my mind I think I'll buy one
Haha, quick cool story about the BROWN M&M LEGEND:
Lee Roth recently put out a video explaining that the reason they added that clause in the rider was because their show was so extravagantly involved that they needed every concert venue to be very careful and precise in their industrial setup of the arena/stadium or else serious injury might occur to all kinds of people from electrical to structural failure. A lot of venue teams weren't following every detail, so they included the tiny "brown m&m" clause as a reveal so they would know immediately whether or not the crews had read the entire thing.
They let the legend live on with them as prima donnas for a laugh and more publicity. I thought that was pretty badass.
Actually not prima donnas. A lot of roadies have been seriously hurt or worse at venues because of crappy stage setups, electrical issues, etc.
as great a guitar player evh was, this pedal is an example of how good he was in creating awesome gear
Your channel and Rob' s channel are some of my favorites! Keep it up
4:20 is where the rambling ends and demo actually begins.
They could do less of the rambling on and especially their lame English sarcasm. Other than that they they give good demos of gear, amps and guitars.
Thanks bro. I was losing my marbles , listening to these two babble on , impressing each other with their dumbshit banter.
You saved my life
I don’t know I like listening to these guys more than these complaining comments. They are talking about what these products are capable of...what are you hens doing? Pissing and moaning cluck cluck.
Ben Logan
Then watch the video and stop reading the comments. What a tool
YES!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for this for YEARS! its strange though that i don't even really like eddies playing. i just love his tone and everything he puts his name on is extraordinary and seems to last forever.
You guys rock so hard!!! No one plays like that anymore!!! I'm so hard to impress and you guys rock :D
YOU DIDNT GO OVER THE ISO BRICK IN WHAT IMPORTANTS IT PLAYS IN THIS. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. GR8 VIDEO! I HAVE TO WATCH THIS EVERY NOW AND AGAIN...NICE GUITAR PLAYING!
Peter is great-love his playing and attitude-he is a keeper-this was a very enjoyable demo-hope to see much more of him
so Leonardo DiCaprio can play guitar?
+Tom Jeffrey Macalisang LOL. I was just thinking the same thing. I'm glad I am not the only one who noticed that.
@@TomFaron he is actually quite a good player (the guy in the video). He was playing some van halen tunes but you have to realize eddie used a lot of other effects stacked on top of the amp itself. The only problem with the setup that is missing is the eq. It sounds way too saturated but maybe thats due to the gate. I have a 6505 and these amps and or pedals sound much better with an eq. Without it can make a good guitarist sound not quite as good because of the muddiness... Just my humble opinion sir.
oh and if you listen you would have figured out that the style of music is not exactly up his alley...
he does look like him a little lol
😄😄
You get the EVH III sound for 160$ basically. That OD sounds nothing less than absolutely awesome. Nice playing by the way from Peter Van Halen.
I subscribed because you guys seem very cool (and smart). Thanks for the Video
Man, I LOVE MXR pedals!
Set the dials to low on 6 and a half, mid at 2,and high at 5. It’s what evh had his amp set on and it sounds killer. These demos always have guys putting the mids at like 5 or higher
With Chappers on a small Mediterranean rock, Peter is doing fabulous on these demos! I hope you'll bring him in for more!
And 8 years later it’s all Pete and we long for more of Chappers.. 😅
omg! i love your playing mr di caprio and may I say u had an outstanding performance in The Revenant and Wolf of wallstreet movies! 😁
you cracked me with the brown m&m!!! GENIUS!!!
+Eduardo Emanuele what was the joke? :/
+xchump van halen has "a bowl of m an ms with every colour but brown" in his rider to make sure people read their terms and conditions
+xchump Eddie Van Halen asks before each gig for a bowl of M&M's without brown M&M's. Is a way for him to check the crew did everything right.
+xchump Sorry dude! Just read your question. They all beat me at answering you! The brown M&Ms were like canaries in the coalmine, of sorts. If they found a brown M&M, then they knew the production hadn't paid attention to the whole tech ryder, and that meant that the VH guys themselves had to go over the whole thing. It is actually a case study in management! Pretty cool, huh?

+Daniel Bonilla i think i read they started doing this after a bit of a stage collapse?
Great video as always Captain
Cool, I'm definitely going to have to get the trio of his effects pedals, that sounds awesome.
Another great demo video!
You guys got me buying something else again......
Looking forward to trying one of these!!!
Love the Brown M&M reference! Nice review as always.
maybe that pedal would sound better through a different amp. that victory amp does not sound good at all.
Liked JUST for the brown M&M jib. Brilliant!
man that evh pedal sounds great!!!
I like this Peter guy !!!
My question is does the noise gate works when connected to other pedals? Or do i need to buy a separate NG MXR pedal?
Excellent Pete.
How come the Boost not being footswitchable? Major design flaw IMO
probably just because that's how the amp worked
+Nuno Carmona
I agree. Same for the EVH flanger...that EVH button could have been made in steel like the others to kick on his preset when needed.
But, once again, another awesome EVH product that clearly rips the shit out of the heavy guitar spectrum!
Better than him selling Chinese made flip flops!
then uhhhhh dont buy it?
Agreed, but apparently that's how Eddie wanted it…
stupid design
does anyone know how this pedal would sound if I put it in front of a mild crunch setting. I'm not a fan of using clean tones and getting all of my gain from a pedal.
I don't doubt that this pedal captures the sound, but I'm actually really not digging the sound of the V40 at all. I haven't like the tone you're getting out of it since you moved to this new room. Idk.
+James Russo Agreed
+James Russo Was about to write the same, all headroom is gone
There's too much natural reverb in the room I think
sam jones I don't think it's the room's reverb since that doesn't come out on the cab mics. It's really the tone of the amp I think.
+James Russo that's a good point, didn't consider that, their only using the v40 because of chappers though
Your friend Peter VH is a pretty good player.........Bravo!
Im so glad to see Lee back in videos. Did him and Rob stop making them together?
Sounds great
How about a blindfold test MXR 5150 Pedal vs. EVH 5150III 50 watt vs. EVH LBX 15 wat lunch box??? In other words if I only have $200 can I get away with the pedal to get the Edward approved tone, or do I really need to save up for one of the amps?
I would love to see you guys compare the MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive to the MXR Wylde Overdrive and maybe compare those two to other popular overdrives to see the difference in sound for overdrives.
I use one with a fender 68’ Deluxe reverb reissue, and it sounds awesome
Hey, could you do another distortion pedal shootout? Your last one was in 2012, so obviously many more have come onto the market since then. Thanks for all the videos and keep them coming.
If you already own the EVH III 2x12 combo is there any point for this pedal? Or does it add more to the amps sound? Thanks for any info.
no this pedal is pointless lmao.. any distortion pedal would be pointless, unless of course you're talking about a tube screamer type pedal. this pedal is for people who cant afford the evh iii, but want a similar distortion.
wow.......wasn't expecting that. With the carbon copy it sounded epic.
They find a new Rob, awsome!
Nice review. Hard to beat the actual amp with a pedal but the cost alone seems worthy.
I didn't get the boost option? No separate foot switch yeah?
Finally "sounding like EVH with a budget gear" becomes easier
The MXR 5150 overdrive is the same price as the Wampler Pinnacle overdrive. Here in the U.S. Both of them are made to give you the brown sound. Both cost 199 USD.
I'd love to see you do a comparison video of the two to see who gets the closest to the brown sound.
Wampler is great but I’d just get the MXR; the man himself worked on it and that smart gate is nice!
Anybody know of another pedal to brighten up the sound of the 5150 pedal that costs less than the carbon copy pedal Lee used in this video?. The carbon copy pedal is quite expensive in the U.S.
I'm looking for a overdrive pedal that lets me control the overdrive using just the volume knob on my guitar. When turned down to 3-4 and it sounds clean with a little dirt and as I turn up the volume I'd like a proportional overdriven sound without a huge boost in volume or change of tone , this is what made the classic Vox, Fender & Marshall all tube amps so great.
I would also like to retain the picked or plucked percussive dynamics come through even when the overdrive is cranked.
Tbh you may need a compressor, get whatever overdrive suites you just make sure the compressor comes after the overdrive comes before the compressor in your signal chain and you should be all good.
Stig Ohara Yeah dude, no pedal does this better than the Fulltone Plimsoul, I swear to god. And putting a compressor after overdrive is asking for problems noice vise
it's eddie van halens original paint job with a mixture of ductape and paint, you can see from their earlier material that it was originally white and that the red was added later as far as i'm aware being a massive EVH fan. pedal looks awesome btw
It sounds awesome with the bright carbon copy, but by itself it's way too dark. This might be the amp though, it sounds like the high end is breaking up on clean. Might sound difference through a Deluxe or SL, something where the bass breaks up before the treble?
I Was Looking Into Getting This Pedal However I Have the 50w EVH 5150iii (6l6 Model) head with a matching 212 cab. will this pedal Make no tone difference for me since i already run the evh amp?
This is for someone who wants a reliable gain tone when they play through clean amps. I wouldn't suggest someone with such a high gain amp get something like this. Can you tell me what exactly you're trying to accomplish tone wise?
th-cam.com/video/iZDcYn7ixlQ/w-d-xo.html
Whats with the reverb? is that produced by the 5150 too?
Can this 5150 achieve GnR and Metallica type sounds?
Wish the boost was a second foot switch instead of that tiny button
I'm sorry but can someone tell me what was m&m thing I didn't get it sadly
so it's still noisy even with the gate at 3 o'clock?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants a review and demo of the CAE OD/boost pedal from the Andertons team!
I don't generally seek out EVH tone but that pedal sounds awesome!
That 'clean' amp was not in any way clean. It's not that hard to find a clean sound and that was not it.
Can u try it next to a brownie cmatmods distortion. If possible thk you
great info... ty
love peter! funny dude!!! great vid!!
Great video. They really should've brought in the EVH phase and flange though. Used the phase for lead parts, the flange for copping that Unchained tone, and really put that 5150 overdrive through it's paces. Still good otherwise though.
this pedal is a fizz machine. Owned for a week and will be moving it on
It sounds MUCH better without the carbon copy added. Imagine the guitar part in a mix as opposed to solo and you can see how much that added brightness could really get in the way.
All the time they had to get this right and they don't put the boost on a second footswitch?
Would be nice if we could of gotten a video with the Carbon Copy vs the Bright to see the differences
does the m&m come with the amp?
is the carbon copy bright true bypass?
Why do I want to hear this through a Hotroddx or a DRRI?
Video and audio quality on this one is just so incomparably superior to the videos with Chapman that the latter is starting to look like a parody. Whatever you're doing or changing, keep at it.
seems like it would be cool for versatility if you tracked say dirty tracks with a 5150 and clean with a fender in the studio like a LOT of people do. But it's not really as ballsy as a 5150. Probably a decent compromise for live use though is you want to bring a fender tube combo and use this for you high gain tone.
EVH painted the original Frankenstrat black, then added a few strips of masking tape and painted it white. After switching to the bumble bee for the second album and not being happy with it he went back to the Frankenstrat but first added a red paint layer.
+Severinate Dammit, beat me to it ;) .
Just to add, Ed never had a "reason" for adding the stripes, aside from the fact that he thought plain black was boring. He just grabbed some masking tape that he had laying around, taped it up, and sprayed the white. After the "Bumblebee" one didn't turn out very good (playability-wise), he decided to "spruce up" the black and white one with red paint.
Kramer "copied" his black/white/red scheme, but the stripe pattern was very different. In fact, Ed didn't like how new his Kramers looked when he went to the factory to pick them up, so he asked Paul Unkert if he could "beat 'em up and make 'em look old". It turns out we may have Eddie to thank (or blame, depending on your personal views on the matter) for the whole "relicing" thing.
+catdumpling Sorry dude, had to out it up as Capt A - had come out with the insulation tape theory before. I wonder if that copy had bicycle reflectors on the back..
+catdumpling I read a long time ago where Eddie said after their first album, some guitar companies started selling copies of his black and white, so he added red to make it difficult to copy. He didn't want people to think he was endorsing those copies.
Ednerd
Could be. The fact is, Ed has changed his mind (or at least the story) over the years. When he did the interview several years back (right after the uber-expensive Franky repros came out), he said he just got tired of fighting with the black and yellow guitar, so he went back to the black and white one. He said he didn't really want to go back to just black and white colors, so he sprayed the red over it. FWIW, he said he never could get the black and yellow one to work the way he wanted to, which is why he didn't really play it much (it was probably used more for photos than actual stage/studio use!)
As great of a guitar player as Ed is, he's...kind of full of himself, and always has been. I think the praise got to him early on and his ego's been a little over-inflated ever since. That's not to take anything away from his playing or the great songs he's written, I just think people shouldn't necessarily take everything he says about his equipment as 100% truth.
so what happens when i put the 5150 in front of my 5150 ???? will i survive ???
3:35 for discussion about the setup, 4:24 for start of actual demo
It pains me to say this a bit, but I very much enjoy Peter and Lee now more than Rob now. Old rob and lee were great but peter is just a better demo guy IMO. Sorry Rob :P LOVED THE SWITCHAROO FOR AINT TALKIN BOUT LOVE HAHAHAHAHA
: / Hey, that bit with the M&Ms was funny! I wanted to shed some light on the history of Eddies personal stripe design. ( From the mouth of Eddie himself! ) HE said that he first got the stripe idea by accident. One day he had his ALL WHITE strat body and wanted to give it a more exciting look, something that made it HIS OWN, ( just like his playing ) I added that by the way, he did say that last part about just like his playing.. But he did say he wanted to create something that was his and made the guitar stand out. All he had to work with at the time, was canned bicycle paint ( a can of red, and a can of black ) So he put masking tape ( not duct tape ) all around the guitar, and then sprayed it black! He said he took the tape off and it looked good, ( it was now black with white stripes! ) Then he re taped the guitar and painted it white again! ( this was his very first striped guitar, the white and black one ) Then later, he taped it up again, and painted the guitar red! And that was the main guitar he kept and used. It was red with black and white stripes! ( Im sure most people who know about Eddie, also know he did the same thing with another strat body, using black with yellow stripes ( i personally dont like that one ) My favorite is the white with black stripes look. ( but i also really like the blue and black stripe colors on Wolfie's bass guitar! if you havent seen that one? check it out. Its really nice, and its like Wolfie's "own" version of the "Van halen stripe design" ...... So yeahh, that is the story of How the van halen stripe design came about.. Just like all the other inventions and modifications Eddie came up with! HE JUST WENT FOR IT! : ) I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU EDDIE! I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU SOMEDAY IN HEAVEN! ( and ofcourse jamming with you too! ) OH AND PS! I ALSO WANT TO SAY TO THE CAPTAIN... WHY DONT YOU EVER PLAY GUITAR ON YOUR DEMO VIDEOS????? I HAVE HEARD YOU PLAY AND YOU CAN PLAY! YOU PLAY VERY WELL! YOU JUST HAVE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, AND JUST FEEL IT AND LET OUT WHAT YOU ARE FEELING! THAT IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT! INDIVIDUAL SELF EXPRESSION! THIS IS WHAT EDDIE WAS ALL ABOUT! HE JUST PLAYED THE WAY HE FELT, AND TRIED TO GET THE SOUNDS HE HEARD IN HIS HEAD AND WANTED TO HEAR FROM HIS GUITAR! HE WAS JUST BEING HIMSELF!!!!! WE ALL NEED TO DO THE SAME WITH WHATEVER INSTRUMENT WE PLAY! AND YOU CAN TOO CAPTAIN!
i love the brown m&m joke. 😆
still nothing better than a good tube amp and good cab for overdrive. I don't think it sounds like vintage EVH. if you listen to the isolated guitar tracks from VH1, Eddies sound is not that distorted. He loved a lot of overdrive and volume, but liked to keep the tone fairly clean. Not to mention a lot of his tone comes from his fingers and technique. Most overdrive pedals sound like thrash metal distortion and that just isn't the brown sound. Not a bad pedal, but the best VH sound I ever got was from a Peavey 5150 block amp paired with the Marshall 1960 Cab with the 25 watt greenbacks.
But can it also be used as a tubescreamer like pedal through a distorted amp?
+Wall OfNoise it's called an overdrive. I was thinking of putting this on my pedalboard for boosting my amp with the gain off like TS/OD and use it as a preamp distortion when I have to play a backline to replace my EVH amp
Have you seen the prices of some boutique OD's? If I can use it in those two ways, it's worth the money
Very cool
First note that resembles a demo at 3:29 for those wanting to see how the pedal works. Spoiler alert: 3:29 is just the sound of the amp without any pedals. And to be fair, 4:28 (out of a 9 minute video) is where you get to hear the absolute FIRST sound of this pedal.
Wait, do you sell the bright? Isn't that a PGS exclusive?
Nope, we sell that too!
Its hard to trust Peter "Van Halen" after the Mesa Boogie Cab Clone disaster!
Peter is a lovely, honest guy who was just doing his job back then. He works for Andertons now & he knows he can say whatever he feels in our videos.
+CaptAnderton respect
+CaptAnderton Didn't realise you'd actually brought him on board - congrats! Another great addition to an awesome team.
Peter is the man!
In most any capitalist country. I have been told to lie, or had it implied at almost every job I've ever had. He quit right?
WOW!!! want!
I bet right when Lee gave his salute he wanted to say "GREEEEEEEETINGS"
Who was the switch hitter?
Didn't know Leonardo dicaprio played guitar! So cool! Big fan!!
cant unsee
nice touch on the m&ms :D
Did y’all change guitar players?
Why are they not tunes to eb?
What tuning is Peter in?
wait a minute whats that green carbon copy?!?
who tuned the guitar. it's closer to f (1/2 step up) than standard e
About the pedal:
tldr version: I'm not the right customer for this but i bet someone's going to get this and love it.
Imo, it sounds pretty thin compared to the original amp and that's also why i don't really like pedals. i prefer pressing one button to change from a clean to rhythm or lead sound, and also the effects at the same time (midi), not to press 5 different pedals to do the same.
sry for my english.
+Robin Jahnsson And yes, i liked the review
Sounds more of a distortion than an overdrive?
put a gt-od and a ts9 (with both gain turned down) in front of the 5150 an it sounds AWESOME!
um clean tone first still sounded muddy love the pedal and playing tho awesome captain you are cewl
woow,they should extract the "bright" and bring it out as a booster....great with the 5150!!!
at first i thought the whole brown mnm thing was a bit of an off joke. then i realised why it fit soooo well
you had me at the brown M&M bit
