Wolfgang Van Halen is using EVH’s pedalboard from 2012 in his new live rig

The resurfaced rig first made its debut at Van Halen’s intimate Cafe Wha? concert 9 years ago, which also featured a young Wolfgang on bass.

Wolfgang Van Halen and his band Mammoth WVH recently made their debut performance opening for Guns N’ Roses and, as it turns out, he took to the stage with one pretty impressive rig.

Not only was Wolfgang wielding a collection of gorgeous electric guitars for the gig – including a pair of ES-335s and a Wolfgang Custom – he was also blessed in the pedalboard department, revealing on social media that he was in fact using his late father’s own rig from 2012.

“Fun fact,” wrote Wolfgang on Twitter. “It was gonna take too long to build a pedalboard from scratch (because we started late in rehearsals) so my ‘board is the same one my dad had/made/used for the Cafe Wha? Show in 2012, because he needed a smaller one. Happy it’s with me.”

I fucking hate to be that guy - but Ed used his full sized 2012/2015 pedalboard at the Cafe Wha gig. This pic was taken that night.

I’m assuming the smaller board was made for the gig, shelved in favor of the regular board, and then reworked for Wolfgang recently.

Who are you fucking kidding, you love being "that guy".

lmao

I love helping or sharing knowledge about Ed's gear. But I hate the idea of downplaying the sweet sentiment Wolf had around using this. Of course I don't expect he'll be perusing the VHLinks Guitar Room any time soon, he's got enough to keep him entertained on Twitter.

He doesn't like us anyway, so yeah, I doubt he comes in here too often.
