Evh 5150 stealth

[Lasse Lammert]

Has anyone here played one?
The description sounds very interesting indeed (more gain on the blue channel you'll definitely be useful, also won't the resonance dials hurt I'm sure)

more gain on the red channel too....I can't imagine anyone wanted more gain on that but ok haha

 

[lolzgreg]

My friend just got his and says the blue channel is a definite improvement and the amp seems a hair less fuzzy overall.

I don't find my 50-watt fuzzy *at all* - compared to my JVM, it's nowhere near as fuzzy!!

Saw this yesterday....love the look of it!

I ordered one 2 months ago.
They told me that it would arrive in December or January.

I'm mostly interested in the added Resonance control.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Haha, why am I not surprised, Eddy?
looking forward to hearing your verdict on it!


I'd LOVE to know what mods were done exactly so I could replicate them.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Could you maybe let us know which preamp tubes are in the stealth when t arrives, Eddy?
Would appreciate that

 

[Eduardo Apolonia]

For sure.
I'll let you know when it arrives.

My EVH 5150III is completely stock, sounded so good that I didn't change a tube on it. It's probably the the amp I use most.

Some Kemper profiles on that one would be nice.

For sure.

so what's in it then?
mine came with Sovtek 12ax7wa in v1 and JJ in the rest I think.
Mine's RevC.

 

[drew_drummer]

Stock it will be JJ's throughout, as I understand it.

Really gassing for a 100watter at the moment, but going to wait to see what NAMM brings. Plenty of EVH's on the used market.

well, mine came with Sovtek 12ax7WA in v1 and JJ in the rest.
earlier versions came with a mixture of SovtekWC, LPS and EH AFAIK.
then again mine's RevC, so pretty early.
The latest versions have JJ throughout I think

 

[Wisheraser]

Mine has JJ's throughout. It's really early though. Serial number 000049.
