Electric Guitar

This guitar is modeled after the Musicman EVH model crossed with the EVH Wolfgang Edward Van Halen Signature model with some additional touches. The body shape mostly resembles the Musicman model but has some of the asymmetry of the Wolfgang. The electrical control scheme is more similar to the Wolfgang in that the toggle switch is located on the top horn, the addition of a tone control and a killswitch. The pickups are a Dimarzio Air Norton for the neck postion and a modified AT-1 for the bridge position.

The electric guitar's specifications:

• A Mahogany body capped with a 0.25" piece of 2A Flamed Maple with an overall thickness of 1.75"
• 2 Humbucking pickups
• Standard/Split/Parallel switching for each pickup
• 3 way toggle switch with an additional switch to change between parallel and series modes for the middle position
• A dive-only Floyd Rose Tremolo with an EVH D-tuna

Multi-FX Guitar Pedal

The inspiration for this project was the Eventide Harmonizers used on the Van Halen albums during the late 1980's through mid 1990's. The effect of the Harmonizers on those albums was that the guitar tracks sounded fuller. To achieve this fullness, the Harmonizer was set to have a short delay (around a few milliseconds) and the pitch was detuned by a few cents up and down and mixed with the orginal pitch.

The Multi-FX pedal's specifications:

• Mono input with stereo output
• Liquid Crystal Display which shows the current effect or currently edited parameter
• 2 Knobs for changing between effects and editing parameters
• Features stereo and mono pitch shifters, tremolos, flangers, and choruses
