This Amp BLEW ME AWAY! (Literally)

Man, a 5150 on steroids is what that beast is. That is one brutal sounding amp

Well, here's my experience with this... I bought one back in 2016 (when they were $2,100). I just used it in stereo to counter my Fender MH-500 that I completely scooped (w/ a 10 band MXR EQ). It wasn't until I was talked into selling the Fender head in late 2019 that I realized what I had. I just put the EQ in the loop, gave it a slight scoop (+/-/+6db... plus an ISP Decimator II), ran it through a 1960B cab (w/V30's and T75's) and a Randall 1x15 cab, and my jaw dropped. I've been through many amps. Nothing touched this... So, I bought another one (because.. reasons). Ran one wet, and one dry (w/ the 2x12 and 4x12 "Stealth" cabs). BTW, I never needed an overdrive for these, regardless of what pickups I was using. Then some shit happened, and I had to sell everything with an EVH logo...yup. When I could finally buy a new one, I had to wait almost 8 months for them to make more. When it finally showed up, I opened the box and said "..the fuck is this?". They used cheaper parts, different tubes, and it looked like whoever built it was clearly in a hurry. I plugged it in, played it for about 30 minutes, turned it off, put it back in the box, and returned it. It sounded closer to a 6505 (with a lot of noise) than a 5150III. FML... Now, I'm back to playing a solid state / tube "stereo" setup (a Randall Titan and Randall Satan). It sounds good, but not even close to my Stealth heads. I've been thinking about giving EVH another chance, even just getting two 50 watt heads, but they've just become so damn popular...Idk. Anyway, if you made it this far, you're a trooper. Thanks for reading! Lol.

Awesome Demo. Bought mine last year. This amp is Insane. Extremely loud with gain for days. It really starts opening up after 6 and beyond. Definitely need ear protection.

The Easter egg here with this head is, while on the Red channel you can tone shape it by using the Blue channel gain knob! It’s awesome! Try it!!!

The drier gain on this amp is, in my opinion, a great feature, because on its own, one can do plenty with it and with a boost, even more. In a subtle way, it kind of has the primary qualities of the classic 5150 paired with some of the very discrete darker tonal elements of the Dual Rectifier, which is great.

Best damn head on the market period. Developed by the King himself.

What a great amp. Big fan of the 5150 III. I flip a lot of amps, but I always have a 5150 around. 🤘

This amp is so nice , so underrated compare to other boutique amp. I would take this one over a lot of other big brand boutique name amp!

This is simply my Dream Amp!

This makes me miss my stealth head. I just have held on to it. Told myself I was just going to sell the 100w and get the 50w but never followed up

I recently sold mine and opted for the EL34 5150iii. The Stealth is a beast but it didn't sing like I wanted it to for lead parts. I'm loving the sh*t out of the ol' gold! Demo that ish homie.

Bought this same amp last November. It’s really an incredible amp. I can’t say enough about how much this amp rips.

now THAT is loud enough, killer amp!!!

Well done! This is the best video I have seen yet on this amp! Thanks for trying the boost and explaining how it works with it!

Hell yeah stealth vs. Og 5150 for sure :)

I'm so stoked that you played it through a mesa recto 4x12. Thing sounds like a rabid monster lol

Recently picked one up and have the same Mesa cab as well as the EVH 4x12. Amazing amp. Sounds great antenuated with a captor also.

I'd love a video of you comparing your boosted 5150 Block Letter, an EVH 5150 III, and possibly a Stealth.

Wow!!! Love this amp man!, Especially the blue channel which is so accurate into my ears

maybe to get rid of the dry sound, use a cab with EVH G12H EVH 30W Annivesary Series speakers, such as the origional cab

Pair this amp with the Engl xxl 4x12 cab and you just unleashed the Beast.

Everything about this amp is just over the top. The volume, the size, i mean shit the gain as well its got 7 preamp tubes. Sheesh. I saw gatecreeper recently and their guitatist who uses this prob gave me the gnarliest post show tinnitus ive ever had. The show that finally made me invest in earplugs lol

This rips man. Plans to get the EVH 5150 Iconic when it drops? Would love to hear you slay or praise that thing when it's in the wild

Every demo of the stealth always sounds great

Meshuggah on their last album used 5150 and it's a good article , to be honest. (on guitar world)

Hi, can you compare this amp with engl savage 120?

Everything I read about the 100w is that it’s limited. Think that means they only have a set number made of the 100w?

When he put the boost on the red i was like '''nooo he diiiiiinnnt''''

Wow, what a beast! Great vid. Cheers!

I have one it’s a incredible amp great tone

Expert mode: bass max, treble max, mids 1isg, resonance max, presence ear adjust and roll off the hiss slightly

Hot "little" amp! Definitely a shootout with a block letter!

Alright, you primitive screwheads, listen up! See this? THIS...is my LIKE BUTTON!

SHOOTOUT WITH OG!!!!!!! Omg YASSSSSS

I have always wanted to try the stealth. Thanks for using a cab and mic and not just a f’n IR like the guy at sonic drive studios.

Debating between this, a Bogner Uber ultra EL34, Bogner Helios, or a revv of some sorts. Mainly C# thrash/technical death.

I have this amp running through a traditional Mesa 412. It's definitely a monster

This beast amp totally insane... Love chug

Amp sounds badass, definitely a comparison with the original 5150 is required!

Killer modern amp, brings the chugs with authority. The 50W gets a bit sweeter because at least you can turn it up a little bit. Sounds a little stale at lower volumes. How about attenuating it with the Captor and cranking the $hit out of it? Should open up a bit more yet

My favorite flavor of amplifier.

I want one of those so bad. I have the original signature series peavey 5150 i think the bottom end and the resonance is so much cleaner than the original. That blue channel is so nasty

Wonderful sounding amp, very dry though I feel like a touch of reverb would be in order for it

Taylor can you answer me a quick question? I recently got a 50w stealth and love it so far but after a few weeks I had the power tubes and 3 pre amp tubes go bad! Really harsh fizz on blue and red CH. Soon as I have the volume past 1/10 etc. I had the store replace the bad tubes and set the bias and the noise is still there... Is this bad girl just a noisy once she gets pushing the volumes? EVH support says they want me to send the amp to them for service but I'm hesitant to loose it for an undetermined period of time. Cheers 🥂

Hell yeah buddy! \m/

How would you say this performs first a new duel rec? I’m about to make a purchase of one, if you had to go with one ?

Awesome

The riff starting 3.30, stop doing that riff cause it is so irritating 😂 Please keep up the other quality content still 💪🏻

So cool!

Nice. Do a Deliverance review. They KRUSH

Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻 This amp is chock full of chugalo! ⬛⚫◼️◾▪️💣▪️◾◼️⚫⬛

By the way. The blue channel gain knob is a boost for red channel.

This amp does NOT need a boost. People rely on those damn things way too much.

How does it sound playing Poison, or Def Leppard, or Nelson...or... Cherry Pie?!?! Do you put the Boss CE-2 in front, or in the effects loop? How much will this amp cut into my Aqua Net budget??? ;)

beautifull sounding amp and this articulation every detail I hear...thank you !!! and with boost is f....g grinding tone !!! I love it

This or axe fx3 ?

Shootout please!!!

Nice🧐

Is the gain or amp more saturated. With the gain up? I don't like dry amps, which is why I ask! Thanks

You are still here so it didn't Blow You Away.... :)

Were you using a standard or traditional Mesa cab?

give us those irs

Title says 5150ii instead of iii

This amp just cries out for an attenuator. It doesn't really "open up" until the volume is cranked.

my red channel has a lot of hiss, do u know why?

Great video man, but I do kinda wish you'd spent just a little more time and attention exploring the clean channel for this vid. Kinda seems a bit glossed over in this presentation. Great vid otherwise!

I’m agree that it sounds better with a boost. I don’t get why so many guys are so adamant to say you don’t need a boost. Lol just use what you like.

Why saying “ in the back!?”, who cares this is a 5150iii steath! Obviously not an EVH enthusiast

it sounds constipated to me
