New amp day...its here! Stealth time...

[Mailman1971]

Welcome the Mighty 5153 stealth!
Out the box....plug and play. Man...gobs of gain is right! This is an EVH amp? or a Metal amp??
Sounds incredible thru a full stack. Only played a few minutes. But everything seems PERFECT.
Will give a better detailed write up later.
Cant get pics to post. Say file is too big. Took them with my phone. Oh well...you know what it looks like.

Dude....this amp is a monster.

I get good rock tones.....(on the clean channel)
Gonna take some time to get it where I want it. Lots of dials.

Sweetwater will hook you up.
Man this thing is a wild animal. really.

Congrats brother!

Thanks Mike!
Yeah I need some time with it. Hard to say what it reminds me of. But its a different flavor then the VH4. So its a keeper. Really really Over the top. In a good way.

So what bands would it cover best other than Van Halen?

I didnt really check. Only had about 15 minutes play time. Had to head to a relatives. Day off tomorrow. Really gonna run it up the flag pole.

Slayer....Lamb of god....death metal...
But it can rock too. Its really really got some gain. And its CLEAR GAIN. No mush.

I got some pics with the Stealth and the Diezel. Looking good! Tower of power!
Have to figure out how to 'shrink' the file?

 

[yngzaklynch]

Ok so would it be to over the top for 80s metal? Ozzy, Dio, Ratt, Whitesnake, Lynch, etc...?

 

[Mailman1971]

All I can say is that channel 2 has more gain then the Diezel VH4 and my old modded Recto.
And its super playable gain.
Channel 3 is just insane.

Not at all. I dialed the gain way back on channel 2 (or turn up the gain on channel 1) and its 80's hair rock EASILY.

Congrats sir ! You now own 1/450th of the Stealths ever made...........

 

[Gitfiddler]

Other than looks, What's the difference between this amp and the regular 5153? I was sold on the 50 W until the stealth posts started surfacing

Not sure how many Stealths are coming out of this new run. But man....I am stoked with this one.
Really different then any other amp I have owned. But its gonna take me a while to get it where I know it back and forth.

I have no clue. I have never played a any other 5153.

The Stealth model has the mods that Eddie requested be done while he was touring with the regular 5150 III's.

As far as I know, the clean channel in untouched, they increased the gain on channels 2 and 3 and also re-voiced them. There are also 3, resonance controls at the back of the amp. One per channel.

And its one bad ass amp.
Just need more time to tweak. But I am getting some kick ass tones for sure. Cant believe Eddie uses this much gain.
