Anthrax's Scott Ian is Hooked on EVH Amps 

YUP, JUST WATCHED THAT VIDEO,

😄 I think whichever company is giving him an amp is the best!

Ya

He probably got sick of the complete asshole that Mike Fortin is and went with EVH ....

@@Im2Old4ThisShite Quite the opposite actually. He left Randall after Mike Fortin did.

bigpooch that's what I was thinking but a lot of people don't know that fender owns all these names

I thought the EVH was peavy?

@@MrKookie79 The original 5150 was from Peavey. When Eddie left Peavey he started his own brand in association with Fender, which is why the Peavey 5150s became the 6505s.

MrKookie79 no

He played Jacksons for years before he went to Washburn.

Endorsed by ESP too at some point in the 80's

Just a month or maybe less than that before he stopped using Randall, he was talking about how Mike Fortin was a genius and that he'd finally made the amp that has the tone that's been in his head his whole life. Before the Mike Fortin amp, his signature Randall was one of the worst sounding amps i've ever heard. Even to the point where my friends who don't play guitar came out of an Anthrax gig with me and complained about the "sound quality" and then they explained what they meant was the guitars sounded weird, to which i agreed. And lots of people were talking about it after the gig. So what i'm saying is, how can anyone believe Scott in these videos? Historically, the guitar tone hasn't actually seemed to matter to him. It's always been about having a sig or being endorsed. signed - me (a diehard fan of the 80's Anthrax guitar tone)

These are opinions. Opinions are always up for debate. This isn't however, A debate.

Anthrax you're antisocial.

I'm late to the discussion, but I'm also the proud owner of a 5150 III (although it's the 6L6 version). I've been a fan of Van Halen since 1983 (same year I started playing guitar), and a fan of Anthrax since 1985 (his tone on Among is still one of my favorites to this day... although so much of it is HIM... I've only seen one other rhythm guitar player that could achieve the same level of tightness when doing upstrokes LOL). These amps can do it all, in my opinion.

Shane Davis that was my thought too.

yes it's weird !

What an asshole. Now I've got to a/b them.

This EVH does get the old-school Anthrax tone better than his older endorsed amps.

Andy Craven what the fck you talking about??? GTFOH

What cabs is he using?

@@anthonyxerri5919 I have many cabs, but the EVH cab with the greenbacks sound amazing.

Rooster 7six I thought he'd said that about his Randall amp as well. Thanks for confirming!

Rooster 7six he said in this that is how he usually describes his tone. Fortin no longer works for Randall so thata why him and Ola both left randall im pretty sure

Pastafarian Hugo I think Ola is still there. can't leave that check unless you have another lined up like Scott lol

Chris Ferrand he did for sure!

Thank you

2 years

FortinAmps I was misinformed It was indeed 2 years not 2 months I forgot that this comment was still here I love your pedals🤘 Keep up the good work💪🏻

Cheers!

Diggerdog2nd Exactly. Eddie is the GOAT!

True

True

Yeah. I hear ya. I've played all kinds of great amps myself. I just stick with Marshall.

EXACTLY!!! you should play whatever makes you feel like "DAAAAAMMMNNN!!!". I mean he plays Jackson (amazeballs guitars), EVH amps (amazing amps)...you NEED to have best gear available if you are in such a huge band...

yeah these 5150’s are sick you can tweak them and create all kinds of classic tones. this amp can create any tone you want really even country tones its sick. this amp is built for versatility.

probably not man....Eddie just Shipped it to him, lol

James Ciccone, I am a Ciccone also. lol looks like Scott Ian threw Randall under the bus in this video. lol

This is still up as of 5th Jul-2017: www.randallamplifiers.com/products/scott-ian/

Gary Jackson I stand corrected. I'd swear the other day when I looked I couldn't find anything related to Scott. I guess I didn't look hard enough. Mind you I am a huge Anthrax and Scott Ian fan.

Their tube amps are WAY over-priced given that they're manufactured in China.

6505 is 6L6 only, but there's the 6534

That sounds fun!

imafaggot * yes you are !

I know !!!!!! Right !!? :)

He could be using both together? Alex Skolnick does that.

yes buddy you have right on this. tubes amps are really expensive these days.and the 80% of them sound the same check it. also you get bored with your amp and you getting new.and next realized that your sound change a bit. we are all victims :)

j lasek buy the 50 watt version, if it's your hobby you dont need the 100 watt 😂😂

I JUST BOUGHT THE LBX :)

Nah. i'll stick with 5150 II. $600 used all day, Sounds great!

i was playing that amp many years before.its not far from lbx. lbx is just more tight .but for 600 $ same as lbx you can stick with it :))
