Shortly after Eddie Van Halen’s passing Dimarzio published an article (link below) in remembrance, specifically Larry Dimarzio’s collaboration in creating the custom Dimarzio pickups found in the Music Man Wolfgang guitars.

Great article btw.

On the page the article begins, “MEETING VAN HALEN” (page 3 of the pdf), the very last sentence reads:

“Dave [Weiderman] told me [Dimarzio] that it [Tweed Deluxe] was an amp Eddie had used (not sure on what).”

I, like many others, have always been interested in Ed’s tone but had never before heard any mention of him using a Tweed Deluxe. Really, it could mean anything. He could’ve just used it as a practice amp, who knows.

But what gets me is the “not sure on what,” which kinda presumes it may have been used somewhere on an album.

Since reading the article I have searched all over for anything related to EVH and the Tweed Deluxe and have found nothing but the article I’ve linked.

Does anyone have any further insight on this?
