I’ve heard an EQ can help bring out the tones I’m looking for or maybe plugging a tubescreamer in front of the amp to tighten up the low end? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Can someone please translate the following Wikipedia definition of Eddie Van Halen’s brown sound into layman’s terms?

“Van Halen achieved his distinctive tone by using a stock 100-watt Marshall amp, a Variac to lower the voltage of the amp to get high gain distortion at lower volumes, and a “Frankenstrat” guitar Van Halen constructed using a vintage Gibson humbucker pickup rewound by Seymour Duncan.”
