    Strange noises in EVH 5150 won't go!

    Hey everyone, I got a 5150 Iconic a couple of months back. It's a great head, blows away both of the 50w versions from EVH I've owned in the past. I'm absolutely convinced that in a blindfold test or a situation where players didn't know the price or the number of tubes in it, most of them...

    EVH Wolfgang vs. EVH Frankenstein

    Hey guys, For whatever reason, I was under the impression that EVH only had one branded humbucker (although sometimes manufactured in different places). Somehow I missed the fact that there is a Wolfgang pickup and a Frankenstein pickup that's made my Seymour Duncan, but w/ EVH branding from...

    EVH III EL34 50w - C137 Mod Replacement Capacitor

    Hey everyone, I recently performed the popular "C137" mod on my EVH III EL34 50w head. I think it sounds good with the mod, and makes it better suited to some more extreme styles, but the stock version with the C137 capacitor sounds good too. They just sound different, with the stock being a...

    Hiwatt Lead 100w - what the deal with it???

    Hey all, I love Hiwatt amps. Well, in theory at least. I've never really even played one, only models of them, and of course I've heard them as used by some of my favorite players-- Gilmour in particular--on some great live recordings. I'm aware of the sound and general vibe of the DR103...

    The Amazon Basics "Drive" Pedal is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD!

    EVH Strat-like (non-wolfgang) guitars: Are there differences in quality?

    Hi folks, I'm happily in the market for an 80's style bolt-on neck Strat-style guitar a la EVH in the 80's. I've played all the one's you'd expect in my search--the new Kramers, Fender "Super Strat" reissue, a few Charvel's etc--but then on a whim I picked up one of the EVH Frankenstein relics...

    Two Notes Captor X 8 ohm & 16 ohm mismatch?

    Hi all, Never been on this forum. Seems like a truly great place to talk about this sort of thing. Anyways-- I just bought a Captor X 8 ohm version. It's pretty cool and I'm happy with it overall, but I mistakenly ordered the 8 ohm version instead of the 16 ohm version. It's mismatched from...
