    I love that people still call the green channel the "clean" channel. On the 5150/6505 it was the RHYTHM channel with a crunch boost. It wasn't meant to be crystal clear. It's like everyone forgot that EVH (the person) started on Marshall Plexis, which do not have a CLEAN clean, unless you roll your guitar volume down and even then it is pretty anemic in sound.

Now the 100w version it’s definitely more in the realm of a rythm channel like EVHs Peavys 5150s. ima have to invest in a stealth 100w and do a side by side.

      @ Marshall’s have always stayed on brand with that look, so it makes sense for them to be tolexed. When I was thinking of the Engl “lunchbox “ I had the fireball 25 in mind which also looks like a real amp. The Diezel even looks not bad since it has tolex. The Ironball for example also looks pretty cheap to me. PRS looks to say “I can’t afford anything”. Look at the pricing of the little Orange amps these days. I have one or two. Shipping probably cost more than the amp. Anyway, just a matter of taste. The Orion from KSR isn’t tolexed and it still looks pretty badass. But it also doesn’t really look like it’s housed in a cab that has thin housing. I know it’s larger and the lights help as well. But if you fall in the lunchbox category, my guess is you play in your bedroom anyway so who cares.
