I've been trying to get that early VH tone out of my 5150 head for a while now, this is the closest I've come so far, what do you think? Oh BTW, I know, my playing sucks, my timing is off, wrong chords, out of tune, just talking tone here. 
Thanks guys!!!!

| less gain and more volume. his tone is very hard to get without a Plexi cranked. its all about saturated power stage and working the hell out of the speakers. just get close to where you're happy and call it good. |

don't worry about the number. try dropping gain more, turn it up as loud as you can and record it again. tune down a half step too. sounds like you've got standard tuning.
Yup standard tuning, I'll give it a shot, should I still run it dry? There are no effects on there at all, guitar>amp. |

its fine. I do the same. you can add that later. work dry til your close. add effects to get the last 5%.
tuning flat will loosen the strings and give that chug you're missing on the drop D. make sure to palm mute that to get the right effect. |

Yup, that is good advice, just keep in mind I'm looking for the early Plexi "Grail Tone", not necessarily just VH. |

That's easy, anyone can do that, but hardly anyone can get that tone out of a 5150 |

funny.
even if you have all of Ed's gear, its still tough to sound like Ed...I have a sup'd up 68 super lead and i can tell you that when you dime everything, its like trying to drive an Indy car on a frozen lake in Minnesota. once i got that amp, I had a whole new appreciation for his abilities. its a beast! |

That is a very good point.
Just because you DO get a plexi or alike, it gonna take something more to be able to handle it. That is ALOT of power & VOLUME and you really have to get used to playing at those levels to feel comfortable with it. |
