Michael Nielson: “1984 is one of the best rock albums ever!”

Brown Sound 82/84 is now available. This TONEX Signature Collection features 83 Tone Models, each one reproducing the recorded album tone with exquisite detail, providing an ideal foundation for adding time-based effects—either within TONEX or through your favorite pedal.

In this video, Michael Nielsen demos the tones and shares tips on using TONEX FX or T-RackS Sunset Sound Studio Reverb to create big-sounding guitar tracks. Have a listen.

As soon as you plug in, you're transported into a time machine, and you just stepped into the studio rig that created the tones on 1984, one of the best rock albums ever, and the tones are ... mwah!

Early Van Halen records were recorded at Sunset Sound. They have a very iconic chamber reverb. IK's Sunset Sound reverb does a great job of adding extra mojo onto these already insanely mojo-filled tones.
