5150III 100S Head, Cabinet and Half Stack- Special Run --->>> limited quantity, estimated arrival mid sept-mid oct.

5150III 100S Head, Cabinet and Half Stack- Special Run
This limited edition hand-customized EVH
5150 III 100S head and 4x12 cabinet
combination is identical to the setup Eddie Van
Halen has recently toured with, and features
the exact same custom modifications. The
head and cabinet are available individually, or
together as a complete half stack.
The 100-watt head features a single input and
three channels (clean, crunch, lead), each with
versatile controls (volume, gain, presence, low,
mid, high). Channel two features increased
gain for greater sustain and is re-voiced for
improved low-mid frequency definition; channel
three also features increased gain and
improved range for the “low” control. Further,
each channel has a rear-panel resonance
control knob that dials in fine-tuned low-end
response. The amp boasts eight JJ ECC83
preamp tubes, four Wing C 6L6 power tubes,
switchable output impedance (4, 8 and 16
ohms) and adjustable bias control. Other
features include vintage-style “chicken head”
control knobs, red jewel, dual speaker jacks,
effects loop, direct out and molded plastic
handle.
The cabinet features rock-solid birch
construction, four Celestion® EVH G-12
speakers, EVH casters and recessed metal
handles.
Head and cabinet come in a special black
“Stealth” aesthetic; and a seven-pin, fourbutton
footswitch is included (controls each
channel and the effects loop). Optional EVH
fitted cover also available.

More gain on the red channel!!??!! I never get my 50 watt 5153 red channel gain above 1/2!!

I think that stealth look is very cool though!!
 
EVH amps do nothing for me... At all, whatsoever.

But I will say this is a nice looking half-stack, for whatever that's worth.
 
Ooh, I like it! I would have liked a bit more gain and thump on channel 2 of the current 100w, would love to hear it on this. Not sure how ch3 needed any more gain, but definitely curious to hear what the extra low range and resonance do. Seems like a lot of cool stuff out this year!
 
I really liked the tone, sizzle and growl Oh, Sleeper and Story of the Year got out of the standard III's. I was very surprised to see that these were behind all that hot mess.

That's only because you keep your nose stuck up in the air over there in DIEZEL LAND! :LOL: :LOL: But, with all seriousness.....nothing whatsoever? You mean to tell me that you can't appreciate any of the tones that come out of that amp? I'd venture to say that you could be fooled in a blind test. :yes:
 
I'm curious to hear what it sounds like with all the changes they've made.

"Adjustable bias control, resonance control for each channel on amp rear panel, increased gain on channel two for more sustain, re-voiced channel two for improved low-mid frequency definition, increased gain on channel three for greater sustain, improved range of “low” control for
channel three
"

I've played around with the bias on my 5153 100w just for shits and giggles but I ended up leaving it at 30mv. The re-voiced and higher gain Ch.2 with it's own resonance control is what really interests me though.
 
Nice, I'll probably end up grabbing one of these! :thumbsup: They will be the new, sought after "block letter", equivalent. (jk)

Looks cool! I still like the original look a little better, but this is nice too. I LOVE these amps! One of the best production amps out there IMO. Mo, I'm surprised you don't dig it. :student: I definitely hear some Bogner ecstasy vibe in the EVH, only it's more focused in the upper mids and not as creamy. Sooooooper high gain too! Can't believe they are adding more gain to the Red channel!?

Yes this is how I would describe the difference. But the 5153 has a mushiness that can't be dialed out. The XTC is far superior IMO, but they are in a different league price wise. So I guess you get what you pay for.
