Van Halen tones recreated with the Pinnacle

Dec 19, 2013 | Latest News, Talking about gear | 1 comment

Christmas is upon us, and I felt like spreading some holiday cheer with some great tones. I asked a good friend of mine, and great player, Steve Townsend to stop by and put the Pinnacle Deluxe and Pinnacle Standard through its paces. Steve demonstrates some really great examples of Early Van Halen, and the “brown sound” that has been made popular by the legendary guitar player Eddie Van Halen.

For this video – I paired both the Pinnacle and the Pinnacle Deluxe with a Port City Pearl amplifier and Port City Cab. Keep an ear open for Steve kicking on a MXR EVH90 Phaser to round out that great Van Halen sound.

Check out Steve demonstrate some great tones of the Pinnacle in the video below.

    Hi,

    I recently purchased the Wampler Pinnacle Standard. What reverb setting do you recommend on an amp on the clean setting to compliment the pedal? Also, will the EVH MXR Phase 90 help the sound of the Wampler Pinnacle pedal?

    Thanks

    John
