F.U.C.K. vs Balance Tone: SLO-100, 5150 Reissue, or x88ir for the ultimate '90s Ed rig?

5150 cabinets with Sheffield's? I didn't even think Eddie used those.

I've never played Peavey 5150 cabinet with Sheffields. Is there a Celestion speaker the Sheffield can be compared to?

PV Shefields are utter shit as is most PV guitar speakers.

I have no idea, but the rumor that I heard was EVH had Greenbacks loaded in those Peavey cabs.

Balance has fantastic tone,

Balance had the best time for sure.

Amsterdam is so fun to play

I am nothing but a worthless troll

Agreed.

According to an interview with Dave Friedman he delivered 4x12 cabinets( when Dave worked for Andy Brauer's) with G12T75's and G1265's to 5150 studios when Ed was using the SLO and Dave says Ed preferred those speakers with the SLO.

That is what I remember too.

SLO100 (not the 30) or 5150 would be my picks. If budget was a concern, 5150. To me, the SLO30 is not the same as the 100. I didn't like the overdrive channel on the 30.

Such a great song ruined by Hagar's vocals.

5150. H90 +/-9. Dual Delays. Done. (There is a Balance preset on the H90, fyi)

 

[SonVolt]

Is Ed using Dual Delays on rhythm or just solos?

For those albums I believe the delays are always on.

I 100% agree. Sheffields can sound fantastic. People just look for excuses to spend more money than they have to.

I gigged with a Dual Rec through an MS4x12 with Sheffields in the 90s. Sounded pretty good. Could get a little honky in the mids, but it was workable.
