Digitech RP3

Patch name Van Halen - Eruption
Submitted by AllenWilt
Email address AllenWilt@aol.com
Description Set your RP3 to group #3, choosing bank #3 (as it comes right out of the box). The LED should read "33". This sound is very similar to EVH's Live sound - especially during the "Sammy" years. Also try editing out some of the reverb/delay to bring it down to his album sounds
Additional Info Distortion - (0), Mod/Pch - (0), Delay - (0)
