EVH 5150 III Mini - Metal - Mesa+Marshall Killer?

[Simon Dorn]

Hi!
Here's another video. I was curious to compare the mini EVH with the Marshall 2203KK and the Mesa in the same context. I did'nt change anything else, except the amp. The guitars are a bit louder in the mix...
Now i'm unsure...Rationally thought, the EVH Mini is all i need....
For recording purposes at least. But it's also great live and for rehearsal.

Signal chain: Dean Stealth, Sommer Kabel, EVH 5150 III Mini, Vovox Kabel, Grossmann SG-Box, Celestion Vintage 30, Shure Sm57, Motu Audio Express

Marshall < Mesa < Marshall+Mesa <<< EVH =D

I'm more into modern sounds than oldschool and the EVH does that perfectly in my ears. It got the response similar to the mesa on the palm mutes i like, but with a better midrange. But the MesaMarshall mix sounds more like one would expect from that musicgenre...more oldschool.

I was pretty surprised myself, how good the mini sounds compared to the others. No boost needed. I like oldschool stuff with a more modern sound, too

 

[loktide]

yup, definitely the 5153 mini.

I like KK the best...

 

[nezvers]

Mini was totally better, it had better clarity.

 

[GuitarHack]

Simon, all great tones.

EVH is my fave though.

Great comparison.
