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

I tried one of the 5150 III's out at GC yesterday and thought it sounded really good. I've never tried any of the EVH stuff out before but I was pretty impressed. I was playing at really low volumes but it sounded thick and harmonically complex and very versatile. My main impression was that it had a shitload of gain. Way more than I can ever imagine using. And now your saying they increased it on channel 2 and 3 for the Stealth. Holy fuck !!!. I was running the gain down around 1/3rd on channel 2 and couldn't even really find a use for channel 3. I see why I always liked eddies old tone on the marshall's when he was having to do every thing he could to get the gain and tone.

Have any of you guys had reliability problems with your Stealth? I am considering one but the first 5153 I bought was horrible with noise, effects loop, foot-switch problems, bad pre-amp tubes, etc. Had to return two of them...customer service was great but the quality of the product was not good. Any info would be much appreciated!

They changed the footswitch on these to a multi-pin config. No more 1/4" cable like the originals. Not sure if they're doing that now with all of the 5153s or just the Stealth. Been working flawlessly so far.

All 100watters (standard and stealth) have always used the multipin connector. The 50w and combo use the quarter inch.

I feel extremely lucky since I've had an original since 2007, one of the first off the assembly line. I still have had absolutely no issues after countless gigs/practices. :thumbsup:

I like these amps..... I only played on them a few times.... Maybe a few hours total.

Life is great other than the typical mess.
