#EVH #5150III #Stealth #50W #50S
I have the “non stealth” version of the 50 watt head with the dual concentric pots for the green and blue channel. For anyone that may be hesitant to buy a 50 watt EVH thinking it’s “only” 50 watts and it may not be “loud enough”, put that out of your head. Mine is the loudest, punchiest 50 watt head I ever played. It slays some of the 100 watt amps I’ve had. I use the EVH 4X12 cab with it and I can play anywhere. I’ve played outside gigs unmic’d with no problems and still had plenty of dial left to turn up even louder.
Couldn't agree with you more
Completely agreed - I bought the ivory white 50 watt head a few months ago and still haven't turned the volume up past 2...
Nick With-Seidelin Yep. The outdoor gig I was talking about, I had the volume at 2 1/2. That’s the loudest I ever had it. Great amp.
I heard 100 watt amp heads are usually only 3 decibels louder than 50 watts
@@TheAxe4Ever Jesus Christ ! That’s insane! I’m hoping to get one next year. Can’t wait
I can't believe how many times I have watched this video over the last two years. And now I am happy to say my new 50 watt Stealth will be arriving tomorrow. To say I am excited would be an understatement.
How you liking it?
@Falluz , after spending a couple of months with it, I can say it's definitely my favorite 5150 so far. It sounds really good through my oversized horizontal 2x12 loaded with V30's and even better through my 4x12 with a mix of V30's and G12H30's. I think it lives up to the hype for sure.
@@BazonBlades🙏👍
We need a comparison with the evh 5150iii el34
word!
Yup.
also a new signature amp sim xD
Absolutely.
Nice profile picture
I just got one this week and it is truly a monster of an amp. I usually boost my amp with a tube screamer but this amp absolutely does not need a boost whatsover.
never been a 5150 guy but this is one of the best distorted tones I've ever heard
I'm waiting for my 100 watt stealth to deliver this week. Can't wait to play it. I'm sure my parents and neighbors are excited for it too :)
How is the amp?
@@richardgriffiths1988 I love the amp. One of my favorites!
Their now your fans forever. Wish I hadn't sold my Marshall 1959 plexi. 4 on the dial with a 412A was painfull.
I'm glad they added the concentric pots because the shared volume knob rendered one of the two channels basically useless at best or killed your ears at worse by accidentally hitting the blue channel. I love EVH but that shared volume knob was just a mind boggling mistake. I'm glad they fixed it but damn.
Love mine. Came back here to watch again as I was considering switching to something else and needed to cut out the GAS!
I live this head and will be keeping it forever! Famous last words...
Gnarcan Rekerds next years evh 5153 will be even better !!!!
This is absolutely perfect for me. Been playing the EL34 version for the last 4 years, just pulled the trigger on the Stealth. Can't wait for this beast to arrive. Thanks man
Try out the Dirty tree pedal with that stealth and el34 50 watt heads. Insane 🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@jconner3891 will do! this Stealth is insane, so far haven't even needed to use my Plumes OD.
@@joshtsavo7154 I’m glad you like the stealth. I love mine. I’ve had all 51503 amps and the stealth imo is the best. By far. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💯💯💯💯
@@jconner3891 agreed totally, mind blown how well this sounds straight outta the box, no longer use my mxr 10 band EQ either, currently sitting flat
@@joshtsavo7154 💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Mine is arriving hopefully within the next week, i cannot wait
Mine too!
Fluff!! I know you’re a bit of a fuzz guy, would you consider doing a video running different fuzzes into different high gain heads? I’ve been thinking about getting a new head but I don’t know where to start because if you’re into the whole stoner/doom scene, there are either not enough videos talking about that, and if there are, the audio/video quality are so bad! The Stealth sounds mean as hell, I want one so bad, but again, hard to tell when it comes to my application. Great work as always! 😁🤘
I agree the 50w versions are plenty an the fact it’s a lot easier to transport
The clean channel actually sounds useable on this guy, nice
So what is the main difference between this and the other 6L6 with concentric pots? Just the slight voicing and bias?
Best review I’ve seen yet on that awesome amp thanks
Mr, Fluff, do we need a OD in the front to get original 5150 CHugs?
Could you do a shoot out between this and the Peavey invective 120?
The only thing that these amps are missing is a power soak switch. I hope they add that in the future and I'll be buying one of these in a heart beat.
You can always get an external attenuator
Just buy a THD Hot Plate, a used Marshall Power brake, etc. This stuff isn't hard to find.
Debating this or a Revv G20??? Not sure what to get
GOD! That thing is sweet!! :)
Because you went high end for this review, I’d love it if you reviewed a Tomsline Pedal to balance it out. I saw a series of reviews for them but the person does a ton of sweep picking.
Just a week ago, I bought this exact amp with footswitch from GC used for $900 plus tax & shipping = $1,000.00: ostensibly because some dude had their used layaway cancelled & it was never re-priced:
It could have been re-priced way higher to $1,200.00.
Sonic, tight-bottom ended, oversaturated, too much gainy goodness at a now-bargain of a used 2019 price.
I’m happier than a pig in shit.
same with me back in august 2020...got it on eBay, it was basically open box because the guy had a family emergency...$900.00...a few months before that i scored a near-mint mesa mark IV for $1450.00...was a good period for gear!!!
Evil looking amp, sounds gnarly 😁
How did u get that bass tone in the demo I love the tone!!! Great video man
Baritone Obsessed saved my life-nice shirt!
I got the el34 on the way, but I hope I got the right one I have hot passives and love slayer
Take your time dialing in the resonance, presence, and gain, especially on the Red channel, where a little gain goes a LONG way. Do put your modulation effects in the loop and consider an EQ outfront to help tame those 7 preamp tubes. Good luck.
@@JeffreyTheTaylor thanks man, I love it so far. My first all tube amp at the age of 30.
@@massttrshrdrharmonicminor2002 Well, good choice then! I had a JVM that had monstrous tone on the Orange channel (especially w a Keeley mod Tube Screamer in front) but the Red was SO hard to handle. And the effects loop was cranky. The EL34 EVH solves those problems but it is without an onboard reverb so you need a pedal solution out front for that.
@@JeffreyTheTaylor for your first amp? 10 years ago, I got suckered into buying a mg100. 600ish for it.
I personally liked the EL34 more than the stealth and settled on that. You can't go wrong with it.
Great video, and its exactly the tone Ive been looking for. I sadly had to get rid of my Tremoverb halfstack years ago, but the 5150s and 6505s have REALLY impressed me. What was your guitar tuned to for this video?
Always enjoy the content fluff
Nice shirt. Greetings from Texas.
Can't wait to hear the lbx Stealth!!!
Alteady here 😊
@@rabbitnoizemusic i know 🙂 i posted this 6 months ago. Before it came out lol.
Eddie is cashing in because he knows metal heads are crazy about gear and will buy anything with his name on it. .
Amazing how evh amps have taken off...
If you don’t remember/ weren’t around, Peavy made the XXX head. That’s started this craze for 5150 to evolve. I’m sure as hell glad it did!
Well yeah that’s what owning a company is all about 😜
@@FernandezCycles Are you high? 5150 came out before the xxx series. Maybe you mean Peavey Ultra?
@@whiskerbiscuit6674 I think you misunderstood what he was saying
Green channel + Blue channel = Brown sound. Almost.
I love the t-shirt.
Hey Fluff. I have this amp, but it does NOT sound like this one. Not even close to the amount of gain. Think the tubes are shot?
Likely
@@RiffsAndBeards would you change all the tubes or just the preamp 12ax7s
Hello Fluff is the clean channel as clean as the clean channel on the el34 head?
I wonder what kind of tones you can get with that amp and the Apex Preamp
No reverb ?
Sounds really good
Think you fluff for a great video
Ola needs to get hold of this. I wish I knew how fluff mixed that track!!
With faders
@@user-ox5kh3fy8g No S*#t
3 way blue channel shootout when?
that's what i'm here for. the red channel is too much for me. i want to know which one does the blue channel best.
Holy shit on a heavy metal stick!!! The gaiiiin !!! The gaiiiiiiiiin!!!!!!!
Yes!
What cab is used in the demo?
Lol buckeyes t-shirt
Knew a guy who had a 5150 III 2x12 combo, and it didn't even have a master volume just a gain knob. We couldn't take it up past 2 without blowing his kid out of his bedroom in the back of the house. Hot pickups like my Dimebucker were way too much to play through that thing in such a small space. Glad to see individual volume pots added to the 6L6, makes a huge difference when switching between channels.
But the combo versions have a variable watt poti...
@@BigMetalDaddy1301 you're overestimating the size of the space lol. Even on the lowest wattage we were getting crazy loud for how small the room was. I actually had to roll the volume back on my guitar to get the tones we were after.
Sounds Filthy! Cloudy in your room today!
Great!!!
$1400.00 yeah its awesome
Miss mine
Sounds good but hard to justify $1,300 for a MIM amp.
Still sounds fizzy to me
Siiiiick
Soo... question.... would I be losing anything by getting the 50 instead of the 100? Note: only be playing at home, not gigging. But, I don't want to regret getting the 50. Also, my house is secluded, so I can play all my tube amps very very loud
Not at all bro common misconception is bigger amp=bigger tone. Unless you're playing huge stadiums 50 watt amps will suit any venue and wayyyy more than enough for band practice/jamming at home. Some will say you have to push the amp hard in terms of volume to get the most out of the tubes and that's just not true plenty of videos online to debunk that theory
@@jessegolden23 well I know some 50 watters lack a little bottom end compared to the larger ones. I own a shitload of amps, and there are very few that the smaller ones sound just as good. My soldanos sound fine, but a 6505 60 watt, doesn't even come close to the 120. And I don't mean volume, I mean tone/ resonance wise
Fcking chug chug chug🤘🤘🤘🤘
Damn
Rest in paradise, Eddie. Thank you so much
What the fuck!!. It's been 3 months already!.
@@felinekaiju4517 it’s been almost a year now 😢
Funny how Eddie, who never played metal (more like pop rock with high gain guitar), designed that amp that became the quintessential metal amp.
I feel like Judgment Day counts as metal! But otherwise, I agree. I’ve always thought that was funny too.
Never played metal ? have you listened to van halen one at all ? there's rock songs, and metal songs, pop rock lol ! find me anything other than black sabbath in 1977 that was metal !
@@christopherdunn317 Not disagreeing with your point, but early NWOBHM bands like Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Budgie were all around in 1977.
Eddie Van Halen played a lot of hard rock music but he wasn’t just into hard rock
Eddie never played metal? He wrote the book for metal leads and single guitar metal bands, moron. Is Rhoads not a metal guitar player either?
My favorite tone of yours in a long while. Might be bias since my favourite amp is the 5150III ...
After a long anticipated patient wait, I got one. 🤟
Absolute MONSTER lil amp.. no tube screamer needed here. Waaaay more smooth gain than you’ll ever need.
Whatever tone your looking for, it’s in there.. literally.
Cant say anything bad about it.
And ridiculously loud as F##K for a 50 watt !!! Thanks EDDIE!! I LOVE IT. I’ve never sounded this good. 🤘
Saw the 100 watt version when it dropped years ago. I fell in love immediately. Now that this is out, my dream amp doesn’t seem so far away.
Does this mean you’d take this amp over a block letter 5150? Or you mean only EVH and not peavey Amps
Seriously, dude, why are you enticing me to buy more gear!! I have the EL34 50 watt head with the matching cab and love it...but now I want the Stealth after watching your video and hearing your tones!!
I was just looking at buying one of these like 2 days ago.... GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!! ♫♫
The flame maple neck on that Music Man fiddle is SICK!
Considering replacing my powerball 2 with this one 🤔
how about a JP-2C Mark IIC+ vs 5150 IIIs
:O You played a clean channel!!! Are you going to be ok?!?!
Best tone in the intro clip. This one's special. Modellers are getting good, but there's something special with this one I don't think a kemper can recreate right now. Def sounds 15% better than a modeller.
Fluff I might sell my blackstar for this amp. This alongside a pod go for effects is the way to go.
I heard that you can’t bypass the amp block on the pod go. Is that not true?
Thanks guys! When I heard that it was while forum lurking before they shipped and I guess they were talking straight out of their asses lol.
This sounds good even through my shitty phone speaker. Do I need spare undies tomorrow when I listen through good headphones?? This thing is a monster.
Is there any difference between the Stealth and the regular new version of the 5150iii 50w?
I admit, the first riffs played through this stealth beast gave me a fucking boner!!! Sounds monsterous! 5150/6505 are just the best amps for any metal tone.
I think this is the first EVH I want. The rest were good, but I would actually get this one.
Im awaiting mine on Wednesday. Can't fkn wait to play through this monster.
Ooh, hell yeah.
I really regret selling my old 5153, but, the unbalanced first and second channels were a bit annoying with no concentric pots, and no fender repairers were willing to do the mod, despite the newer ones coming out with it shortly after that hah (like a few weeks after I asked, the remakes with concentric pots came out).
That and it was too big and loud to fit in my room. Plus biggest killer was no line in, cause I use guitar pro and youtube for most of my backing tracks.
Still, I definitely want to get one of these. The sound of them is just so good. So nice to have such filthy gain tones, but also such crisp cleans. Big bonus from fender making them I suppose.
My first proper amp, and will definitely be my next amp buy.
Hot damn I love these amps
how is it for crunch tones? that's one reason I loved the original 50 blue channel. it did crunch so well
Heya buddy, Im curious if these can actually be used for home use? Im looking at either the stealth or a 5150 combo. I only play metal so obvioulsy the stealth is the better option for that. But the combos come with a power dial to get them right down to bedroom levels. Just how long can a stealth go before it becomes horrible to listen to?
If you had a choice between 50w stealth or Mesa badlander 50w. Which one would you choose?
$1300 DORRARS?!!
ight imma head out 😑
Not bad. But Im not into the sound of the crunch/blue ch. Sounds overgained and constricted/lacking character, compared to the original.... maybe it would do better with different tubes.
i can trade my evh wolfgang std guitar,,and a pv valveking amp for a mk1 50 watt head,,,should i do it????
Would this amp be good for eflat tuned 90s thrash and death metal compared to a JVM?
nice demo, just got mine. but its making hiss sound without guitar even plugged in. noise gate at fx loop didnt help. any suggestions?
I’m always torn between the el34 stealth and the 6l6 stealth heads. I had the 15watt all black stealth and it was pretty sick for what it was
Dad, I love you, but your tone kinda sucks imo. This sounds like a bad 5150 helix preset.
Add a Room Mic into the mix ;-)
i'm a low mids kinda dude. fluff is a high mids kinda dude (especially super present high mids). I say potato, he says tomato. whatchagonnado
@ihate names Reference monitors my dude. His tone is shit.
Well it was nice having a video on this amp with the most views while it lasted....
Trying to decide on this amp head or the ENGL fireball 100
You’re detracting from the amp wearing the Bucee’s shirt... 😂
Can't wait for my 50 watt head to come in. I'm building a 2×12 cab for it.
The opening jam you are playing sounds a lot like In Flames tone.......that's a compliment :)
I've had mine for a few weeks...can't get enough of it, best AMP ever for me so far...
With the low price of $2,400 it could be all yours
I've owned this amp for about 6 months now. It's an incredible amp that can truly do it all, any sound at any volume. It replaced my Marshall 100W 2555 Jubilee. Buy it if you can find one, it's kickass.
'This would be the only EVH I would own if I had to only own one..."
*silently thinks to self: "but I don't have to only own just one, I can own as many as I want"*
'I will link below..."
Hi Fluff.. Just ordered one. Any chance you can explain the recording chains for these demos? Especially this one. Thanks.
Btw, your productions have improved a lot just since a couple years ago. Good job.
I got my stealth 5150 III out of the box today and depsite using the floor pedals or going straight to the Amp, only channel 2 has sound, channel 1 and 3 don't have any sound at all. Do you (or anyone) know what I'm doing wrong?
thinking about moving a mini rectifier on for one of these... good idea?
6:36 about 2 grand in canada lol give or take
