Sick amp. Love it. What a ripping head this is!! Now I need to get a nice 2x12 for it. Matching ones all out of stock here in the UK

Someone ought to do a roll-call on how many people have bought or have this amp on order here. I love mine too!

Thanks guys. Only got to try it briefly after collecting it but I cranked it through a Bogner OS2x12 before I bought it... sounded great. Thinking of picking up a local used Marshall 1936 with V30s until the 2x12 cabs become available. I know they're not the best cabs in the world but it's local and really quite cheap. Thoughts?

Would love to get one of those and a GSP1101 for effects and channel switching with the MIDI on the 5153. With the 2x12 that would be a killer little rig.

I became an EVH dealer after playing these at NAMM. Now I'm waiting for my own

Chubtone how does this amp stack up against a Splawn? Can the 5150 mini get a convincing Marshall / plexi sound? Any similarities between a quick rod and 5150 mini? I had been looking at a QR but am now wondering if it is $1,000 better than the 5150 50 watt. Any feedback you could give in making my decision would be appreciated.

Thanks for the demo. Not sure if the V30 speakers are to blame, but channel 2 sounded like a JCM900 to me. Channel 3 sounded better. Nice Wolfie too.
It's actually made in Vietnam?

An awesome amp, especially for the price!
Love mine! Picking up my cab next week and then will have a nice easy to carry setup!

I am going to need more time with a 5150 III before I can compare it to the Splawn. I would also like to take one home and put it head to head with the Splawn before giving a final verdict.

Put my buddies Quickrod up against my III 100 watt, very similar in the channel 2 area but still different. The Splawn just has more of that EL34 overtone growl. I now want a Quickrod, but it would not replace my 5150 III..

These are made in Vietnam? Ha! I remember when EVH made a big thing about leaving Kramer because they were made overseas and he thought they were made here in NJ....

LOL...yeah I remember that too.bigdaddyd":11bzf0jf said:
Ultimately, that guy is strictly about $$$. He'll be leaving Fender in ~2 years, saying things like, "they just never got it", "I want it to be made in America" etc...
And then the EVH brand will be joing forces with Mesa Boogie or something.

That is my exact live rig!
It is definitely killer, the MIDI switching works great...I even run a couple amp models from the GSP through the EVH in 4CM, not bad at all...highly recommended!

Sorry for bumping an old thread...But I just got mine in the mail. Have any of you guys found a way to balance channel 1 & 2 nicely, volume wise? I expected it to be a jump from 1 to 2, but its WAY too much.
Great amp, by the way. Comparing it to my early 5150, I find it more refined, and just better sounding.
