5150 III Ivory is the Best Fender Revision

These amps are awesome. I also got my 100w 6l6 for $1k, as was my 50s. My 50w 6l6 was $375. My 100S was like $1800 or something. I vastly prefer the 100S. It really depends what you want. Playing death metal, you get a little more smear, gain, and weight on the 100S. The 100w 6l6 has a more crunchy kind of sound. Less weight and depth to the tone. Still awesome, and perfect for one of my bands. The 50 watters are hard to beat for size and convenience. But the size of the 100 watters comes with a matching size in tone lol.

I’m always on the lookout for a used local one.

I assumed 5150's were everywhere, but I've had a hard time finding good deals on FB. Especially the 100 watters. Those rarely pop up.

I had stealth 6l6 on for like 8 hours and that red channel is tighter than while super rich in harmonics if set right . Just a beast
I’ve had every version and the ivory is my sec .

Keep an eye on https://www.proaudiostar.com/.

I got a deal on a 50w combo "open box" for about $950. I looked brand new to me.

There's a great deal on a 100 watt ivory for any Ohio fellas looking... Very tempting.
