![]() If you want it to be static, just set the two Tonebend percent Parameters to 5-10% or change the “mash Default” curve Modifier value to same values. Here are the parameter settings for the dynamic detune settings, where you use the MASH switch to set amount of detune and revert back to a clean sound when MASH is released. If you want a static detune, just set the tonebend percent parameter to a low value. You can then change the degree of detuning with the MASH switch. However, by setting it at 30%, you just bend a couple of cents and get great “static” chorus type sounds. Now if you set TP max/MASH max value to 100%, it will bend a full halftone up/down. This is done by setting tonebend intervals for the two harmony voices to 1 halftone / -1 halftone and then mapping MASH to control tonebend percent. This means that the two voices are on same interval but slightly detuned.) Quintessence Harmony can absolutely be used as a detuner.Ĭheck out the “Detune” templates in the TonePrint editor (UnisonicMASH), where the harmonizer is set to unison mode. However, TC is well known for claiming things that are not true (e.g. Or slap on some dirt and dial up a shallow detune for the secret thickening agent from Van Halen’s post-1984 tone". OK, this is the new one and the question is: can it play Van Halen? TC claims that "BRAINWAVES also nails the squeaky clean, watery ‘80s tones we all know and love. Width = 25% to 60% - I keep the Width setting the same or close to the Intensity setting, but no higher than 60% Rate = 10% to 25% max." TC Electronic Brainwaves ![]() (see earlier sections of this page for tips) Standard setting (basic rule of thumb guideline only!! You'll need to tweak based on your setup): Bass = 40% Treble = 60% Intensity = 25% to 80% - depends, for sounds like on OU812, a 60%-80% setting is suggested. Either way the settings below are a great guideline Chorus setting for the Van Halen tone, provided your amp EQ is set properly and your guitar is setup properly. But again to each his own, what works for me and my specific guitar and amp setup may not be ideal for your setup, so try both ways and figure out what works best for you. Like the Phase 90 I also recommend running the stereo Chorus in the FX Loop of your amp. This is the ideal Chorus effect for the Van Hagar era sound and it doesn't break the bank. ![]() It's a great substitute for the expensive harmonizer as well. How to get this chorus-y tone that EVH got with his H949 Harmonizer (wet dry wet setup)? What are your experiences with: Digitech LuxeĪccording to Jeff Fiorentino: "Though not really a Van Halen effect as far as one that everyone who's into Van Halen has, I've found through my own tinkering that the MXR Stereo Chorus is phenomenal for dialing in an amazing mid and late era VH tone. ![]()
