      Well... its based on the EVH 5150 2... which is based on the EVH 5150... which is based on the EVH 5150 block letter... which is based on the Soldano SLO... which is based on a hot rodded JCM800... which is based on a hot rodded JVM40....
      Not much of a stretch at that point really :)

      I'm also a Marshall guy who thinks the EVH 5150 III is the best amp. However, I use the EL34 version because, well, EL34's. There's a reason this is Gojira's amp, you know.

      Well, he played very well, but because he's been doing bass, there's evidence of some sloppiness to his leads. When he runs his scales, you could clearly tell he stumbles thru the leads. Not say'n he can't smooth it up after some good practice. You see, also he is NOT a regular bassist. He's a guitarist, who fell in-love with playing bass, and switched over. That's why you see him doing all kinds of lead guitar stuff. ..and not the other way around.

I've been playing through a modded 100-watt Marshall JCM2000 (which I have loved) but the 50-watt EVH 5150 iii is louder, with gobs more gain and better note definition. I still love my Marshall's but can't say enough about this little gem.

    Flash forward to 4/15/2015 and listening to this during a meal break from playing my new 60 watt Fender Hot Rod Deville III 410. In my opinion the Fender shreds better than the EVH 5150 50w head. One additional benefit my amp has is it is a combo with four 10" special speakers built in, no additional cost. It also has a very long reverb tank and the sound is outstanding. Lucky me! The fender actually costs less money as well and is basically a 3 channel amp. Technically it has a clean channel and then a drive channel and then a more drive channel. I don't care what you call it but it works as a 3 channel amp for me. Comes with a foot switch and a dust cover. It is extremely loud. I am unable to dime it. All the clean headroom, possibly more than 99% of the amps in the world and then all the distortion/fuzz/gain anyone could ever want. With it's built in Bias Pot and test point I can set the tube bias up from the factory settings of -60ma all the way up to over -90ma. I can do that if I want to get power tube distortion at a lower volume. But so far no need because it has a Master volume as well as three 12ax7 pre-amp tubes tied into a gain knob that goes up to 12. So I can get all the sustain and distortion I want at any volume I want, low or deafening. With the built in Pre amp out and Power amp in I can run as many similar amps together at one time as I wish. I may get another one because I am thinking of running a stereo rig. Possibly I can set one up for earlier power tube distortion breakup and have the other set up for cleans. I am also used to my old Marshall JCM 900 with a full stack of Marshall JCM 900 Lead 1960 A and B cabs. I like to have the rig tower over me. I am used to the sound of a 30 foot tall wave of a full stack running in overdrive, I surf the wave of sustain and distortion. It's addicting.

      PeterDad60 Had a Blues Deville III for a while. Didn't care for it much. I've discovered I tend to lean toward the british sounds, more. I thought this sounded really good. I wonder though... Previous 5150 amps can't get any kind of decent clean sound. Currently have a JVM 410, which is great - a little too busy to set all the levels for gigs and really loud. I have been thinking about a 3 channel 50 watt head and I'm wondering if this is the one???

    The heavy set guy with the Big Seth Rogan hair is freaking Good. He has great dynamics, and is not sloppy, or muffled sounding.

    Please demo the 15 watt. I don't live alone.

    • @polpottopg
      @polpottopg 8 років тому

      I don't understand comments like this, can't you just turn the amp down so it isn't too loud?? You dont need low watts to get low volume

    • @AdamRainStopper
      @AdamRainStopper 8 років тому +2

      Auschwitz was a "prank" No, *low* volume isn't what I'm looking for, I need *controllable* volume for recording in a small studio, without making my girlfriend change her mind about being with a musician. You *can* turn the master volume way down and get a passable sound at low volume, but it doesn't have the same sound. Not looking for power amp saturation, but at the same time, a tube amp running at very low volume will sound comparatively thin.

    • @polpottopg
      @polpottopg 8 років тому +1

      ok thanks

    • @divinasi0n
      @divinasi0n 8 років тому

      So if I buy a tube amp like this 5150, it will sound shit and not enough distortion unless I have the volume cranked??

    • @AdamRainStopper
      @AdamRainStopper 8 років тому +1

      ***** No, you don't need to crank it, and with a high-gain head with a 6L6 based power section, the distortion is almost entirely coming from the preamp. However, if you turn a 50 or 100 watt head down to bedroom levels, you are not sending enough signal to the power amp to drive it properly....not "drive" it into saturation, but a tube power amp that is seeing very little signal will sound thin and weak, with the very low and very high frequencies not there, and instead just a boxy, muffled kind of tone. You also have to consider your cabinet and the speaker(s) in it, if they are high power rated speakers, the cones will be stiffer and won't really move at extremely low volumes, and the cabinet itself won't resonate either. Don't get 10 times more amp than you need, it is a waste of money anyway. If low volume practice is what you need it for, get something 15 or 20 watts, and preferably with some kind of switchable output setting to knock the power down.

    I've loved every demo I've heard of this amp since it came out, but I ended up buying an Egnater Vengeance, and I really, really like it as well.. The cleans are the best I've ever heard in person, and the gain is super tight.

    This amp is fantastic, got one last year and it just can not do any wrong! Favorite setting is 666+6. Treb, Bass, Mid and Presence all on six and adjust your gain and volume to what you want. SAVAGE!
