[QUOTE=Prophet of Page]Eddie Van Halen's solo on Beat It was played through a solid state Hartley Thompson amplifier, which was borrowed from Allan Holdsworth.
That same amplifer was used on Allan Holdsworth's album Metal Fatigue.

I think that the clean tone on the chordal passages and the lead tone are both utterly stunning.[/QUOTE]
