Did EVH Ever Really Use Sheffield Speakers w/ His OG 5150's?

[PurityS.L.G]

Seems like a question that's been asked a million times already but I couldn't find any info on this topic using multiple searches. I mean, he had every bit of say in the design of the amp so why not the cab too, right?

I just noticed Peavey stopped making their 6505 cabs with V30's and went full r-tard on this whole 1992 reissue thing and now load their cabs with Sheffield 1230's instead of the 1200.

Sorry dudes. I know there's more than enough EVH threads on here already but I'm genuinely curious about this.

From what I’ve heard through internet stuff, he never did. I don’t have solid proof though nor have I seen proof of it.

I remember Kyle bull demoing the new sheffields and they sounded real nice actually.

Try Celestion CL-80s

That’s about the absolute last speaker that resembles anything EVH.

Greenbacks of course.

Greenbacks of course.

Yep. I read a post on another forum, (I don't remember which one) where a guy wrote that he had been backstage with Ed's tech while he had one of Ed's cabs open and sure enough, the cab was loaded with Greenbacks.

Those Peavey cabs are pretty well made in my opinion, just gotta load ‘em with good speakers.

Absolutely. Built like tanks.
