5150 III mini - Is it living up to the hype??

[Mogwai]

Here's a demo I did of the amp, using all 3 channels, clean was the green channel, blue for rhythm, and red was lead, never had any problems with flub on channel 2 at ALL either... hope this helps a bit, I don't play EVH stuff though, so it was set up more for clean and high gain... it's much easier setting the green and blue channel up for slightly lower gain styles...

Are you using the GMajor or anything else to balance out the levels between channels?

Got mine yesterday. Lovin it so far, but the downfall of being in a apartment. Can't crank it

That looks good with the 212 cab. Since I have decided to get a 5150 III mini I have been thinking about what cab to get, I am thinking about the matching 212, or a pair of the 112s, or an emperor vertical 212, or .... There are just way too many options. I have heard that that 212 is killer!!!

Yeah man it sounds great, although I haven't raised the volume above 2 haha. Any of those cab configurations you just mentioned will sound sick though I'm sure.

Great Amp! I miss mine. Wish I still had that little amp

Nope... just some chorus and reverb on the clean channel... and a tad of reverb and delay for lead... when I first got the Gmajor I did experiment with using is to even out the volumes... but after using it at gig volumes I just found that it wasn't necessary... however for playing at home and lower volumes (where the volume difference is much more apparent) the Gmajor works FLAWLESSLY for doing this... the compressor and dB booster applied to the clean channel can bring it to equal or louder volume than the blue channel if you'd like... or you can go the other way and reduce the blue channel with a negative dB patch...

I like it, sounds solid as can be with a webcam... Though I keep watching that half open door like Carlito in a pool hall
