The dark and moody tones of two iconic albums
The Brown Sound 80/81 is the second installment in the limited TONEX Brown Sound series, capturing the darker swagger and heavier edge that defined a pivotal era in the guitarist’s evolution. Designed to match the recorded tones of two iconic early-'80s albums, this collection offers 73 meticulously crafted Tone Models, including several amp-only captures for use with favorite IRs or live through a real cab.
Every angle of the tone was explored, from authentic recreations to nuanced variations reflecting different theories on how these legendary tracks were recorded. From raw, crunch-driven rhythms to blazing lead tones, these models faithfully recreate a sound that inspired generations and reshaped the possibilities of the guitar.
