I know he liked the SLO but never heard it was like a JCM 800 .Probably he did, the SLO is a modded JCM 800 afaik. The man who made the 5150 said that in studio EVH would use "a variety of amps" but did not mention any in particular.

It's far from an 800. The only thing it has in common is the use of cold clipper. Anyone who claims that it's easy to mod an 800 into an SLO is misinformed. Mike started out modding fenders and Mesas.If you google you will find different versions including the modded JCM one, but what i hear from actual amp builders is that SLO is based on a JCM 800 and is a simple mod over the JCM. By the way Soldano started his business selling modded JCMs. The 5150 is the amp he probably never used in studio, that man said "a variety of amps" when asked if EVH used the 5150 in studio and then he said he would use the 5150 live with a maximum gain of 3.
Ya 3 years atleast. I messaged the seller and said send to Hermanson lolYeah that thing has been listed for years; there's def been threads on it here before.
His main Marshall got lost on an early tour and he retired it from the road when he got it back. He used various Marshalls and Laneys for awhile.I always wondered what type of Marshalls Ed used. I thought it was more Plexi?
Laney's ? I like Laney's but I never heard that Ed had used them.His main Marshall got lost on an early tour and he retired it from the road when he got it back. He used various Marshalls and Laneys for awhile.
From the jas obrech interview.Laney's ? I like Laney's but I never heard that Ed had used them.

I bet Iommi got him into the Laney's because Iommi and Ed were super tight .From the jas obrech interview.
JAS: "How many amps do you use?"
EVH: "I had four good amps that I used to use all the time, but I don’t have them anymore. What I basically have is three different setups, three complete setups. I have three 100-watt tops of whatever make – right now I’m using Music Man, a couple of Laney amps, which are English, and a couple of new Marshalls. I’m just using everything right now because I lost those old amps. But I use like three 100-watt amps for the main set – what I call it – and then I do my guitar solo, and after that I change guitars and amps to setup number two. And setup number three is also again three amps, for backup."
I've never heard any confirmation of that, but I've always thought that myself.I bet Iommi got him into the Laney's because Iommi and Ed were super tight .
Funny when I saw Ratt on out of the cellar tour (Whitesnake opened) They were using Laneys too. Must have been the go to option not wanting to lose precious Marshalls on tour.From the jas obrech interview.

I dont think it sold, a lot of questions about it's legitamacy. There are only 4 of Hendix's Marshalls out in public. More supposedly in private collections, that will most likely never see the light of day due to the estate.this fetched a handsome price

i’d imagine EVH’s #1 would be closer to half a mill….
