Brown Sound 78/79 Review

IK at IMSTA FESTA UK 2025 Reading Brown Sound 78/79 Review 2 minutes Next Total Studio MAX at SAE UK

The Brown Sound 78/79 Signature Collection for TONEX, created by VH tone expert Jim Gaustad, delivers the authentic recorded tones of two iconic albums with incredible detail and feel. No expense was spared in capturing these 50 incredible Tone Models available now.

In this review, Jay Parmar (a.k.a. Jay Guitar) discusses the gear in the collection and demos many of the Tone Models. Have a look.

There's something about how they bloom under my fingers that feels magical, especially for those Eruption-style tapping runs. It's like having Eddie's amp right here in the studio!

Jay Parmar

From the moment I played these, I was just blown away. The tones are so good and feel great to play under my fingers, and hearing them through my speakers is just magical.

To maintain authenticity, I used IK's excellent Sunset Sound Reverb and Tape Echo plug-ins to create the ambiance you hear on the track. They've been my go-tos for years now and are amazing.

Combined with TONEX Pedal and TONEX ONE, the Brown Sound 78/79 creates a killer rig for gigs and recording. Both pedals include versions of TONEX that unlock modeling and unlimited ToneNET downloads.
