If you make the treble/upper mids a bit more prominent, put the dry setup anywhere from 50%-100% in the left speaker and the reverb at about 60%-80%, you should be 75% there! The remaining 25% is all in playing style, which although yours is super killer, isn't very EVH (I hear more of a Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan sound, which most guys would kill to have anyway lol). The key stuff that I try and remember when doing Eddie's sound is raw, unfiltered 70's blues licks, heavy, chunky, saggy, delayed picking, heavy/seasoned vibrato, and very vocal (at times overloaded) bends/phrasing! But that aside, your tapping is spot on to 1984-era Eddie! Keep up the amazing quest for tone, my friend, and stay frosty :vh:
That's not the OP playing , it's a guy named Cody Jarret who's got some really good stuff on YouTube
