You're an inspiration man, thank you for all these videos. I love how versatile your style is, great playing and showcasing as always. I wish you a lot of successes on the music field!
Awesome Euge! The first amp I ever really wanted when I first started playing guitar was a Peavey 6505+ and I could never afford one, then fast forward 7 or 8 years later and I scored the EVH 6L6 50w head and it's my favorite amp! I'm glad I got the one with concentric knobs. Also loving the Peavey 6505MH I just recently purchased after talking to you on Instagram. Your level of professionalism and your casual but enthusiastic attitude make you one of my favorite people to watch. Keep rocking Euge! :)
Just bought this head. Got it hooked up last night and I love it. I made my decision based on this video. They owe you a commission 😂. Thanks for posting👍🏻
Great definition and tone Euge and yes this amp and Marshall’s sound awesome pushed with a TS or SD1 tightening things up as well! Hey finally got an SD1 on your advise and it’s awesome! Thanks!
Hi Euge, Kerry in Houston Texas checking in my friend. Great video as usual. Love your guitar playing and songs/noodling. I just happen to own one of these amps. Ya.... more gain than most people need. It's a beast basically. But you know I love my TSL 100 too. Wanted to tell you that your live stage presents is rules your stage. Okay....you have your vocalist that people pay attention to, but you are the biggest guy on stage and look great up there playing your guitar and ruling the stage. Just had to say that. I like how you corrected the out of tune G string on Eddie's guy. I'm like you, I have a good ear and can't play my guitars out of tune. I'm am recovering nicely from my 10 hour surgery I had a few weeks ago. Staying strong with God's help and love watching your videos that help too. Thank you Euge for being a good guy. You are a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work. I will check in later. All the best my friend, Kerry out and may God's blessing be on you. 🤠🎸👍✌️
Green & Blue channels are FABULOUS! That is one of the best heads for Heavy Rock out there! Personally I think EVH and Fender are pricin em WAYY too high right now but whatevs. That discussion plays into far too many brands (especially Harley Davidson) 😂. Keep rockin Finland brother Euge!🤘🏻🔥
The riff with the speed run is insane, you should make a song out of it if you haven't already. I just came back for the second time just to listen again. Guitar sounds hughe!
euge!!! just downloaded "no halos in hell"...awesome record brother...your singer has an amazing voice...good luck to you and the rest of the guys...cheers!!!
I love the fast licks you used in the main riff of this song! Is there anyway you can break them down or demonstrate how to play them? They sound very randy rhoads inspired to me
@@EugeValovirta230V I will definitely be trying to figure it out! Also thanks for replying to my comment! Your humbleness and sincerity towards your fans is unmatched
I had one of these several years ago. The main problem I had at that time was trying to tame the volume at home. It seemed like the channel volume controls had almost no taper, just started blasting loud when barely on. It also did not have the concentric pots for the green and blue channels, which was a huge problem. I ended up getting rid of it, but after hearing this demo and also figuring out that I just needed an attenuator, I wish I had kept it. :)
Listen Mr. Valovirta. I have a very important message for you and I need you to pay careful attention, because lives depend on it. You must make a video on the lick starting at @1:33. Remember, never forget.
I have the first version since early 2012 and since I have the EL34 I have kind of forsaken the 6L6 mostly because of the volume's difference between CH1 and CH2. Your video gave me desire to plug it again, and it was the first time for 10 years that I could have cranked it with the help of my powerstation I purchased few month ago... and honestly I wasn't aware how much I missed it... it's a killer amp and maybe easier to manage than the EL34 version => less gain on CH2, EQ a little bit better balanced, less brightness because of the 6L6...
Great as usual ! I've had a few 5150iiis and think they all sound great. But the cons include: power, standby and presence all on the back; poor volume sweep (loud super quick); cheapish build quality (dials and buttons a bit loose and flimsy), and I had all kinds of problems saving MIDI (it would program but not save). I went Mesa TC-50.
hat guitar still alive after the shreddage??. recently bought the combo of this on the cheap. model 1. Could be me but i'm same as you. blue channel and done. Not big on channel 3, sound like it's on the neck pickup constantly. bought a sd1 as tip from you,. this amp with sd1 sounds great. sd is aggressive, i like it. is that guitar still alive after the shreddage??. damn. killer playing friend \m/.
Euge,sun hommat on siis parasta! Siistiä että oot Halen ukko niinkuin mäkin. Afterrun(?) parasta ja siis muutenkin tatsi sikapaljon perinteisen parempi kuin tiluttelijoilla. Aikusen hyvää haard rokkia!!,
Which tube screamer is that your using? I’ve never seen one that looks like that. Also, what speakers are you running in this cabinet? Thanks & really enjoy your videos!
It’s a clone of the original TS-808 a Finnish guy made in the 90s to me. I don’t have the cab anymore but it had the Fryette P50Es. Glad to hear thanks!
To boost amps like what you do with overdrives 😎. Nice to have a few different options ready to go when recording. It works really well with into low gain / cleanish amps. My Plexi loves it on low gain setting👌.
Thanks! That is the safest bet ’cos amps usually works the best / like the designer has designed them with the matching cabs. But IMO one can’t go wrong with a Marshall 1960 Vintage or BX cabs either. I have those cabs in my studio and they do the job great no matter the amp / music style etc.
Great review.. funny.. your playing of EVH sounds like Euge.. lol.. the style is certainly in the hands.. nicely done.. which amp is noisier.. the EVH or the Peavey?
With similar gain levels, the Peaveys are noisier due to the longer signal paths in the amp. You can max out the gain on the blue and it's still lower noise than the Peavey halfway up the gain. Red channel on the EVH can surpass the Peavey though but it's too much. It's still less noisy with stupid high gain levels.
Euge, I think this is the revoiced channel 2 version. The original 50watt(non concentric knobs) had the channel 2 voiced different than the channel 3...and then later on they voiced it to sound like the channel 3. What production year is that one?
That Is Some Awesome Guitar Playing I Just Recently Bought The White EVH 5150 Iconic 40 Watt An It Definitely Packs A Punch I Was Wanting To Know Do You Run A Delay Through The Loop Or In Front Of Amps Thanks
Just borrowed the amp to do the video and can’t remember what I used here but in general I use my Marshall cabs. One with Vintages and the other with Greenbacks.
Do you think this amp could pull of those classic Mesa Boogie mark amp crunch and thrash tones? I had a mark V 35 head on back order for the last 18 months and Mesa have now cancelled the order through the shop I ordered it with stating they can’t deliver to the UK until 2023 at the earliest so I am now looking for a suitable replacement for a high gain amp. I have a jcm 900, mini jubilee, rockerverb and PRS mt15 but none seem to get close enough. If not a 5150 would you recommend another similar amp? Cheers
I guess only a Mesa can do Mesa and 5150 can do 5150 etc. but this is a great amp and I can’t really think of a tone I couldn’t get out from this. I mean the sound is mostly in a player’s hands and amps just amplify that. I sound like myself no matter the gear so…😎.
Iridium is a 100watt amp with Nanotube technology, four channels, built in attenuator / load etc. etc. Soundwise: Both can do anything from crystal clean to insane amounts of gain 💪😎. I like both a lot but prefer Iridium ’cos it’s smaller and louder and the Classic channel is pretty much spot on my JCM800 Bad Boy 🤟.
