James Brown's name doesn't get mentioned nearly enough in any 5150/EVH amp video. James brought Edward's vision to reality. There are entire metal sub-genres that owe their existence to the magic wrought by James and Edward.
Both the 6L6 and EL34 versions of this amp are one of the best metal amps ever made. Playing it through a 4x12 cab when that air pushes back at you is f*cking sublime.
Back when I was in high school (around 20 years ago) I decided to buy a Peavey 5150 instead of whatever Marshall tube amp was popular back then. It wasn't because I actually knew what I was looking for. It was because the one music store in my town back then had 5150's for $700 and the Marshalls were closer to $1,200 (or maybe even more). I love Marshalls and this isn't a debate on which brand is better. I've just had so many people drool over my 5150 and make me some halfway crazy offers on buying it that I know deep down that I made the right choice. Even if I didn't enjoy using it, it was a good investment.
Dude, I love this amp. I have the 50-watt head and matching 2x12 cab. Yeah, you don't have to crank the gain up that high at all, you can get a solid metal tone at lower volumes, and the red channel doesn't need an OD. It's also one of the most versatile amps that I've played.
This is one killer sounding amp! I agree, the 5150 (along with, I'd argue, the Peavey 6505) has become standard for modern metal. The EL34's really give it another dimension. Oh, and the black/gold design would look sexy AF with my black/gold Les Paul
idk how much these are worth where you live, but here in Canada this 100w head costs like $2400 used, even the 50w head is like $1700 to $1800, gear is ridiculously pricey where i live.
@@cleverg1555 The 6505+ has less gain than the 6505 or 5150. More tubes, but there are actually less in signal path on high gain channel. It’s a strange design.
@@lordcuddlebuttz3336 Am also Canadian. You'd be better off going with the 6505 Micro Head. The circuitry is the exact same of that which is used in the 5150 micro head. Adding to that, the 6505 has a power soak/attenuators that allows that amp to be switched from 20W to 5W, and 1W. It also has an XLR out on the back to record direct into an interface. They can be found for super cheap heaters and are a great alternative to a 5150.
This is my favorite amp of all time. The low end shakes the house. Kinda boring clean channel, but if you turn the low down and the presence down, it's a bit easier to turn the gain up without it flubbing. But hey, blue and red channels are flawless 🤘
@@danielefontanella127 Trivium has used Peavey 5150s and EVH 5150s on every single album they have ever released So yes... All 5150s are good for the trivium sound. 5150s can do all metal genres as well as rock sounds as well. Personally I think my 6505+ does the classic rock/ softer rock better than the EVH 100S I own. The EVH sounds a bit more gained out at lower gain levels. Its kinda hard to describe.
@@third3eye3 after trying all my options, I finally bought the EVH 5150iii 50w, 6L6. I have no regrets, it’s a beast and definitely the distortion sound I like the best. I’m sorry I couldn’t get that tone with the rectos.
Can I just say thank you for designing such an amazing guitar? I bought an A2.6 fr ln, hands down best guitar I’ve played. I used to be a snob and wouldn’t touch anything made in Indonesia but wow dude. Only thing better than a solar guitar is two solar guitars, gonna get one in pink next 👍🏻 I’d go for a pricier one but love the Floyd rose too much.
I remember when I first tried one of these at Guitar Center and I thought my ears went into my ass. This is superb for metal and hard rock. But tbh my main amp is a Jcm 800 reissue with the effects loop built in. Sweet cleans and can overdrive the hell out of it with a good Zvex super hard on
I stopped playing Peaveys the moment I first got to play through an EVH 5150 at rehearsal volume. The blue channel with the gain at around 10-11 o'clock with a boost out front, through a v30 cab... it's enough to make a grown man shed a tear. I had an original white tolex 5150 III, but I replaced it with the 6L6 "Stealth" head when they released that version. Best amp I've ever played. Never played the EL34 head here, but it sounds just as good honestly.
I had a Peavey 5150 212 combo. To say it was Heavy would be an understatement. When I put it in the trunk of my car my front wheels would come off the ground.
Man, this guy's videos are so entertaining! I am watching this while running on a treadmill in the gym and the guy next to me just said: "How is that guy not deft sitting so close to a raging amp" :D
Wow at first i thought it's too modern distortion for what Ola like But then the blue channel hits for rhythm and it barks much better than the red channel for rhythm
Ola!!! U absolutely make this amp kick ass....other youtubers said channel 3 was to much but u prove it wrong. Ur absolutely a METAL CHUG MASTER!!!!! Now i want one, lets saving some money 🍻🍻🍻

I’m sure the chances of you reading this comment is slim-to-none. But one recommendation is to put an EQ in the effects loop. I have this amp and an MXR 10 band EQ.

@@Kyouki_IE I’m fairly certain you can use this technique on any amplifier with an effects loop. Once you purchase an EQ pedal (or rack mount), just send it through the loop. Of course there are more variables when you have additional effects pedals. I just looked up some information on what order to put my pedals. As for boost/cut, I dialed in my tone on my amp first and then dialed in the EQ pedal. My 10 band EQ is slightly scooped in the mids and slightly to moderately boosted in the highs. I hope this helps somewhat!
@@erikpeterson4749 Yeah, I know you can use it on any amp, was just joking about not having a similar amp.

@@Twobarpsi The amp + the guitar.
When Ola says “that’s way too much” gain, you know it’s a lot of gain
Can also confirm
Eddie wanted to design an amp that you could get a shit ton of gain out of without a distortion pedal. He hated distortion pedals
All of the "Eddie" amps just sound killer. Hat's off to James Brown.
i was very sad to see the combo evh amp at my guitar center gone, that red channel is something else

did you hear the Revv generator120? holy god!
EVH equipment is probably some of the best I’ve played on whether it be guitars or amps they just never disappoint.
And the really odd thing is that fender makes the evh amp. But the evh sounds better for the disciples of metal

Gojira does indeed play EVH’s after all so that does make a lot of sense
nice!
Hey man im 3 years late… but does that lunchbox get decently loud? I want to get one for affordability but was worried it’d sound “small”
