5150 III Ivory is the Best Fender Revision

[glpg80]

This live tone still haunts me today even two years later.

I know he was running a back line, but damn this tone rips hard.

He was at one time using one of these in his amp rack even when i saw them back in the day in FL. Later he started using the iconic series.

IMHO, the EVH 5150 line is one of the best bang for the buck lines. They just sound good.

 

[napalmdeath]

He rips. Great player, great vibrato.

 

[Metalhex]

Gotta get me an iconic

I really dig the original 50w for some reason. Probably the same reason Wolfie uses one.

 

[PlayAndersons]

That Jackson Kelly looks fun to play

 

[BlueParfait]

Yeah the standard 6L6 5153 is, IMO, better than the EL34 and the Stealth

 

[PBGas]

Guy is a solid player! Probably can play through anything and sound great!

The Stealth 50 was my favorite. They're like $1649 now. I bought mine for like $1049 new when they came out. 15% off through MF.

Crazy prices. I got my 6L6 50w for $750 new.

Does that go for both 50 & 100 watt?

Yeah I think i paid $849 for my first one. Back when it was tax-free to boot.

If I could get the Blue channel from the Stealth and put that in the OG 5150 III head, that would be my perfect amp. Love my Stealth 100, but I do miss the Red channel from the original version.

The only difference between the OG 5153 red channel and the Stealth 6L6 red channel is a slight tweak to the red channel tone stack, and it only affects how the low end responds as the mids are turned down.

The Stealth blue channel has a crap ton more gain than the OG, but its only a few component swaps, and is a pretty simple mod to get the OG blue up to stealth levels of gain.

The OG green channel crunches nicely, and is far superior to the stealth version, unless you need a pristine, chimey clean tone, which the Stealth excells at. Stealth green does not do crunch tones.

I've only ever played the 50Ws lol

Friend of mine got a Marshall 4x12 and an earlier gen 5153 6L6 for 1K flat

Guy he bought it from was a sound studio design and solutions consultant or sth. Had to sell off his stuff because of the wife

I'm still envious of that deal.
