Setting up Brown Sound 78/79

Martin Smith: “You've got tonal options for whatever rig you're using.”

Brown Sound 78/79 features 50 Tone Models, captured by Jim Gaustad of his meticulously crafted Marshall-style amp, built to the exact same specifications as Eddie Van Halen's 1968 Super Lead, as heard on those two legendary albums.

In this video, Martin Smith explains how to make the most of this exciting collection, depending on your guitar pickups, to create exactly the Brown Sound you want.

Let's find out what's different about this collection in comparison to any other Marshall Plexi profile on the ToneNET.

You can judge whether you can sell your amps and just get a TONEX box instead. Here we go.

The effort that Jim's gone to really paid off. I felt like I was playing a valve amp, and it sounded just like the Van Halen albums in isolation mode.

If you're going to do a tour where you're playing Van Halen-style material, this is going to do the job.

Combined with TONEX Pedal and TONEX ONE, the Brown Sound 78/79 creates a killer rig for gigs and recording. Both pedals include versions of TONEX that unlock modeling and unlimited ToneNET downloads.
