Talk:Brown sound

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Eddie Van Halen

Van Halen claims to have a 7hz sine wave on his CD... created on his guitar... by turning the settings down on a chorus pedal? Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?

To the above poster: it was never suggested that a "brown note" was created by a chorus pedal, or by Ed Van Halen, for that matter. Read more carefully.

To the person who changed the "chorus pedal" addition: EVH's use of the Variac was his longstanding attempt to get more distortion from his amplifiers, and has nothing to do with his own mention of "the brown sound" as he achieved it on the album "1984". The information was a reference to a direct quote from EVH in Guitar Player Magazine, at the time of the release of that album. Please don't change things just because they are commonly attributed on the 'net.
