+1000! :thumbsup:
That's what the BF Fenders are for (a '65 BF SR and a '67 BR ProReverb are my keepers)
again agreed!
it's interesting my first 100S is serial numbered 144XX, and my second 100S is serial numbered 147XX - around 300 after the 1st 100S.
AND the date on the head is 12/21/13...
agreed...don't forget AC/DC and Priest... :yes: :yes: :yes:
seriously though, you could get a very usable crunch on the original Ch1 as well...
Overall there's just MORE gain on the head, especially since the preamp tubes are shared between all 3 channels :rock:
I think you'll dig it. I find it to be quite similar, and it responds similarly to the various cabs, ala the 5150 mini (EVH12-20, T75, V30, PV Sheffields, even my alnico blues)
+100000 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I cannot even imagine what other gain (casading, diode, bright cap, etc.) or other...
I totally agree speakers make all the difference! In fact my Mesa 212 (V30's) are too middy (for me) and I basically use it as a dolly for my amps :yes: I still have a FL VHT cab with Eminence Tonkers :scared: which is also function as an amp stand on wheels. :no: :scared:
The EVH5153 412...
I think you're asking the OP on his opinion, so apologies for jumping in.
I too have the 50W mini, the original 5153 and now the 100S.
the revoicing of Ch2 is perfect, and IMHO is not brighter than that of the original 5153.
with the new re-voicing, and the addition of post-EQ resonance...
Hi Moshaholic, glad you received your 100S safely given the weather!
It's too bad you're not "feeling" the 100S like you were lead to believe. :aww:
I like bright (as opposed to darker) sounding amps (Diezel Herbert). I also hate amps that are "too stiff" wherein I'm fighting the immediacy of...
ok cool! :thumbsup:
I'm not sure of the 100S availability through GC (even though MF = GC). But my private reserve rep called from MF today, and said another 4 went out over night, and that they expect only about 5 or 6 more heads before they are all gone. ;)
...we oughta get a commission...
:confused: wait, a 100S for a 101b? not sure of Bogner pricing, but figure the MAP on the 100S = $2200, so figure the trade value from there.
I have a fully loaded SLO (Haynes, SRV, effect loop, depth) and to my ears, the 5150iii 100S is nothing like that at all. its bright like an SLO, but the...
I grabbed Chris Cannella on day 1 and grilled him :yes: :lol: :LOL:
He responded with the answer (paraphrasing), "it's not here because it was a limited run, and since we have not plans to re-issue it, there was no reason to have the 100S here at the show" :thumbsup:
Chris is a super gentle...
you sure did - my accountant is cursing you :gethim: :thumbsup:
I can't stop playing my 5150iii 100S...all of the other heads (except the 410HJS and 5150ii) have gone largely unplayed.
anyone interested in an SLO with all the mods? :yes: :thumbsup:
agreed...with all of the "new" inventory, seems weird that "only" 100 units were made available.
MF says they're getting 15 just now :confused: WTF?
as I told a good friend, "dude, in 6 months we will see a Mk2 version of the 5150iii" and it's gonna be A LOT like the 100S!!! :doh: :lol: :LOL:
no fuKKing shit!! :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
Well put - this is completely unacceptable.
Even if resolved....and as Josh (JCJ) mentioned - "shaddy as FUCK"!!! :doh: :gethim:
I know after seeing your posts on the 5150iii 100S you've got a ton of great hi-gain heads. It sucks...
Hi Josh! :2thumbsup: yeah it's been awhile - and your post on Mark Cameron kinda made me sad as well. But I'm very happy he's trying to improve his situation - or at least that's how I was reading it... :yes:
Best to you as well - hopefully you're in possession of a few good Andersons! I've...
