    Having the gate only on ch2 was a tradeoff that meant it doesn’t screw up the clean channel if using ch1 that way, since it automatically turns off. You can’t do that with an external pedal noise gate so you end up compromising. So if you want to gate both you can add one in the loop and the built in will still help you get more gating on the heavier channel

      This amp is fantastic! I am doing just as you said, I’ve got an ISP Decimator II on my main pedalboard that I run through the loop of my 5150III EL34 Red Channel to quiet it down and it totally works that way with this amp on the green channel with the overdrive engaged and boosted!

      Hi James, can you tell us, what kind of cab is simulated (number of HP, HPs, mic) with the emulated output... And is possible to desactivate it? I cant find any informations on the official EVH website

    • @jamesbrown7468
      @jamesbrown7468 2 роки тому +13

      @@davidfarant8474 it’s an analog lag-free simulation of a 412 straight cab using an omni studio mic about 3 feet away….so it sounds like you’re in the room with it. It’s tweaked to get a nice Celestion tone starting point that can easily be EQ’ed at the board or recording input. You can’t deactivate it BUT it’s right off the preamp out, which is flat……so you can use that to send a non simulated signal. The power amp mute switch shuts the power amp off after that point.

    Sounds great with a Les Paul. A bit more mids and less of the top end fizz people complain about.
    Still, very easy to dial in a fizz-free tone with any guitar. Just get coated strings and check the highs and presence. Maybe even use the tone knobs on your guitar, that's what they're for. I find the top end texture in this amp amazing. It's part of its charm. Especially with Les Paul... because then you get both the full body tone from the LP and the top end from the amp. 👌 Brutal.

      Thank you for this info. Using the 40w combo. Get the fizz here and there depending on highs/presence/guitar tone settings. I thought might have problem with amp but this is 2nd or 3rd time hearing this comment meaning common idiosyncrasy of the amp / guitar pairings. Use Strat w/EMG 81/81 and Schecter Hellraiser w/ EMG 707’s. I’ll play with high’s / presence / guitar tone and look into coated strings. Don’t have EQ pedal either, getting soon, thanks for comment.

This is pretty good, thought I don't find the tone to be anywhere near 5150 level, and they should've lowered cost a bit, getting a hybrid, and maybe not put the 5150 tag on it, because that was always going to annoy allot of people.

Does it sound good? Yes. Is it anywhere near 5150 tube standards? Nope. For that kind of money I'll keep my vox or get an orange in that price range. I don't think it's bad, and by all means, if you love it go ahead and buy it. I only stated it's not up to par with 5150s and I feel they're using the 5150 badge to upcharge a little and grab buyers off the name, that don't mind overpaying a little because they can't afford the real thing. That said, I'll stick to my Vox, which as a used pre Korg blue series head and cab, can be found for about the same price as that head, and pushes as much juice....I could care less about name as long as I'm getting something top notch and I'm sure this is a wonderfully constructed amp but there's other things that I feel are better.

    Just got my 5150 Iconic combo today and my LAWD…. Does she fucking rip. Love love love the green channel with overdrive around 1-3ish o’clock. I’m actually running my Metal Muff in the front of it (I know I don’t need a boost because the channels already have massive amount of gain) but I’m a sucker for my Metal Muff through a good tube amp. And honestly it gives the amp such a brutal and massive tone while still being super tight a clear and articulate. My only gripe is that it has some squeal with it being new but I took the back plate exposing the inside speaker housing and the noise completely went away. Such a amazing fucking amp for the price! Definitely going to get the head and cab once my band drummer is back from his trip. Honestly Ray….your review gave me the confidence to go into getting this amp with super high expectations and I was not disappointed at all! Love your videos and love how you always look so happy while playing no matter what it is. Looking forward to see what this amp can do for me in a live mix with my bassist and drummer and other guitarist. My other guitarist just bought the super crush from orange and he’s kicking himself in the ass because for the same price he could of gotten the same 5150 I got. Sucks to be him! Last thing…I love all the hate this amp is getting and having one that sounds as good as it does…just makes me laugh and want to show EVERYONE how awesome this amp is. Awesome demo Ray!

    I bought one of these, in part, because I heard it here and respect your opinion. I love it!
    In many ways it's superior to the 50w 5150 III I had before-- for one both channels are actually usable! The attack is faster and clearer, which some might not prefer, but I strongly suspect the metal players in particular would pick this as a favorite in a blindfold test. It has a really solid 5150 sound but in many ways the clarity and tightness is a good thing. In a world where good tones can be achieved with many different types of technology, a well-made amp can be use hybrid approach and sound killer. I think people's ideas about tubes being in some way almost magically clouds people's judgment. And believe me, if it were otherwise I would be there right along with you; but it's simply not the case here!

    Thanks for the demo. Between reviews from you and Kyle, I believe I'm gonna get me one. May take a couple months; but, I'm pretty determined.

    I've got the 15 x 60 watt combo and it's a monster. For the price you can't beat it.

      Its almost as if gibsons sound good thru any amp!

      Yeah, Gibsons sound good, they're just uncomfortable,overpriced, and underwhelming to play.

    I just got one of these off reverb today. Anything I should know about it before it gets here? Lmk!!!
    I agree too man killer video and for the price you can't beat it, plus the black dahlia murder uses them live and they sound killer. I'll run a overdrive, noise gate, and eq with mine

    No hate. The amp just sounds really ‘flubby’ especially in the mix. Reminds me of the 6505mh and I don’t mean that in a good way. Not to mention the preamp circuit is hybrid solid state. Just not my cup of tea. Love the channel man ✌🏻

      “The preamp circuit is a hybrid solid state”
      What, you mean like 90% of all tube heads? It’s very rare to find a 100% tube amp.
      I also think you’re being a bit too harsh on the sound, having only heard it in youtube videos lol.

    Right bout that noise gate… I use green boosted with dirty tree can get noisy …I have decent gates on it but be nice if that NG worked fir both for sure chn.

    Ray..you did a good job here ...I got the Ivory one too and yeah it looks kickass ! I am going to buy a Black one too..I love my 15 and 50 watt Stealth heads but this is my new favorite amp..I really want to buy another 4-12" cab but my 2-12" with a Vintage 30 and G12H-75 really pumps out some excellent tones..clean to filthy with no problems.
    As I said great job here man !

    I want one of these badly. This is great that they're not crazy expensive either. Its definitely worth the money. Makes me want a baritone too lol

  • @cheenu711
    @cheenu711 2 роки тому

    Now I'm not a metal player by any means but it sounds good to me in all honesty. I don't get the hate for this. I don't sound any worse to some of the heavy metal music I've heard. This thing can absolutely do a good EVH style tone and at that price, that should be enough for anyone to be sold on this thing.

    Love what I’ve heard of the amp. Need to hear one in person. Saw your video of what happened to you in the army. I’ve been in the Air Force for 12 years now and I play guitar in a hardcore band called Divebomb. Would love to get you a shirt. How could I send you one?

    Good video review bro. I really enjoyed your playing on the les paul on this one and whilst I’m not a metal player myself it sounded killer.
    This amp is close to the top of list of things I’m going to buy in 2022. Greetings from NZ 😎🎸🤘🍻
