Can you elaborate on why you like the original? It might help me out.Eh... I prefer the original EVH 6l6 over them both.

It's a smoother less ice picky sound compared to the Stealth. I guess it depends on the type of music you like to play. I think the original EVH is closer to that 80's VH sound I like so much. Think 1984, Hot For Teacher, Panama, Drop Dead Legs kind of sound. But if you are more a metal, Metalica kind of guy, then the Stealth may be more appropriate for you.Can you elaborate on why you like the original? It might help me out.
I am sure it would be fine for that. But, there are so many variables to getting your sound. Pickups, speakers, different guitars. It's a good jumping in point if you ask me.If I’m looking to play some Tremonti music. How do you think the 5150 Stealth will do with that style.
I own a Rocker 15, awesome little amps.Orange Terror amps with the headroom/bedroom switch are FANTASTIC bedroom amps for practice. That 1 watt setting crushes with a V30 in a 1x12.
Based on that, EVH, all the way. The Mesa will need to be ridiculously loud to sound good, not so much with the EVH.I should add that I don’t gig. I’m an at-home player only. As much as I want a 100w amp. It would be overkill for home use or playing music with friends.
Neither of those amps for the style you play. A Friedman BE flavor or even the EVH LBX Version 1 -way less compressionHello, I like to play some Rush, Judas Priest, Van Halen and some Blues. So, a little bit of everything.
No. The voicing of the TC is not anywhere in the ballpark. Boosting it would take it even further opposite of the spectrum. The TC is already a very mid-forward tight sounding amp with a ton of compression. Boosting it would probably make it sound like crap. I never even would have considered it when I had my TC100. I don't think you quite understand the character of either amp. You might want to listen to a bunch of clips. These amps are not in the same category character wise.Would a pedal into the TC50 get me closer to the EVH? Something like a Friedman BE-OD Deluxe? I have access to one of those through a friend that is selling one.
Sorry for all the questions. I play a lot of different stuff. I’ve been playing for about 8 years. I have a budget of around $1600 and am looking for something aggressive sounding. I have the clean stuff taken care of with my Deluxe Reverb. I have watched a video on YouTube where Kyle Bull compares the TC50 with the EVH Stealth. He was saying the TC was more mid-focused and the EVH with more low end. I’m just trying to spend my money wisely.No. The voicing of the TC is not anywhere in the ballpark.

If you were trying to invest wisely, you would take that $1600 and buy yourself a nice Les Paul.Sorry for all the questions. I play a lot of different stuff. I’ve been playing for about 8 years.

Good idea about the Les Paul that I’m looking at down the road. Just not right now. Mainly looking for another amp that can do the heavy aggressive thing. The TC50 I feel is at a good price that’s being offered to me. But the EVH interests me.If you were trying to invest wisely, you would take that $1600 and buy yourself a nice Les Paul.

There is something about Mesa that always sounded thin and artificial to me. I think as I get older, I like an amp to sound more like a guitar and less like an effects unit. I need an amp to give me a real sound and then I can build from there.Good idea about the Les Paul that I’m looking at down the road. Just not right now.
