Ok....
Finally pulled the trigger on this one.
Got a EVH EL34 Stealth coming home. Owned the 6L6 version of it and it was killer.
But traded it off knowing I could score another one easy.
Cant wait to get this puppy.
It was this video that pushed me over the edge!! :lol: :LOL:

Damn you Scott Ian!!! :doh:



Really dug this guys clip on it as well

 
So did I Dan! So did I! Missing the EL-34 fun!

I tried it over the weekend and really, really liked it!

Ha!! :lol: :LOL:
Cant wait to check it. All my other amps I have are 6L6
Again.... the Stealth 6L6 was just a monster. Hear this one cuts a little more.
Groovy baby!! :D
 
Wow grats man! Killer amp. That guys red channel demo is nuts... gobs and gobs of gain :rock:
 
The original Black stealth ton of gain as well. Really defined.
Snagged it on guitar center used for a good deal. And it tipped the scales. :lol: :LOL:

Congrats! I saw that one, was tempted...but I'm on a stock vintage Marshall kick. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
 
Congratulations man. When that amp first came out, I didn't think it would be much different, but it has its own thing going. I really like the tone. I really like the 5153, but might like the Stealth just a little more. What made you decide to get it instead of the new Invective?

I had the original stealth. And it was a monster. Almost 'too much' power thump. :lol: :LOL:
Blue channel killed. Guy traded me a diezel for it. Knew I could snag another one. So let it go.
In the mean time this EL34 came out. Seems like the newer power tube lay out would 'tame' it a tad. Add more of the edge I wanted. And the videos I posted seem to concrete it.
Can't wait. :D

Ah, so you haven't played it yet? I had the pleasure of trying one out a while back at Guitar Center. It's really great man. Like I said, I like it even better than the 6L6 version. I like the its distortion, the way the harmonics squeal, the percussive quality, and even like the cleanish tones a little better. Overall, it's great. You'll love it man.

Cool man. Good bud of mine has one. (Lives far away from me)
Said the dynamics and harmonics just 'jump' out this amp.
Only us guitar players understand this gibberish. :lol: :LOL:
I am gonna open this thing WIDE OPEN thru the full stack. Can't wait. :D
 
Congrats Dan! I don't see how you can go wrong with a Stealth with that EL-34 growl to the mids! You still have the Archon?

Hell yes. My Archon and my FJA modded Dual Recto are my death bed amps.
Going no where. The rest..... sending out to the pasture. :lol: :LOL:

I keep hoping Scott Ian will do a Demo Video of the Stealth....Like he did with his Fortin. I love Scott Ian, I bought an Original T.C. Electronics Booster Pedal After Meeting him when I was a Kid and saw that he used one. When I met him he had 4 or 5 of them on tour....Mostly backups of course.
 
Funny there's a Kemper in his rack in the lower right of the video... Scott is an endorsement whore lol.
 
He has been a Randall guy for a long time. Funny to see him put this video out.
Dudes face says it all. Lol :lol: :LOL:
