Refurbished my 5150/low fi amp PRON

[lolzgreg]

You'd be hard pressed to find an amp that looks better than this being 18 years old

Amps: (the Savage is currently having some minor work done, my custom XTC is being built)

Cabinets: (5150 III cabinet should be here in two weeks)

On a better note, I promised you guys a comparison of every amp through every cabinet as soon as I have the time. It's going to be quite epic. I just need to record some br00tal DIs and get my family out of the house

 

[::XeS::]

I need the 3 5150's comparison

 

[AudioPhile777]

What all did you do to it?

I need the 3 5150's comparison

fuck yes!

 

[jipchen]

Small Dual Recto is small.

 

[DeclanWhite]

Small Dual Recto is small.

eh. big 5150III is big

 

[AboutBlank]

Yeah, didn't know that the EVH is such a big mofo...

 

[lolzgreg]

What all did you do to it?

New faceplate, retolex, new knobs, cleaning, pots de-oxidized, new tubes, etc.

5150 III sounds NOTHING like 5150 I at similar knob positions. My latest reamp will show that

 

[::XeS::]

A friend of mine describes it like a mix between 5150 and 5150 II (in the lead channel), but I've never tried it

 

[jipchen]

eh. big 5150III is big

Yeah, that's more accurate.
But if you think of what actually is inside of a 5150 mkI and then have a look at the inside of the dual recto with its 9999999999 functions, extra tubes, parallel FX chain and a zillion different settings, the dual recto is kinda small.
But the 5150 III is truly a beast.

Oh and lolzgreg, your refurbished 5150 is awesome!

Personally, I'm a fan of the giraffe

My girlfriend painted it for me in watercolor when she was bored. I decided to hang it up.

why is there no EVH(tm) block or Signature print underneath the LEDS??

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Nice! I think you have a case of amplifilia.

 

[lolzgreg]

Changed the faceplate. The old one was real scratched up

Its actually a Bugera undercover.

 

[lolzgreg]

DRATS! Foiled again!

 

[JeffTD]

I thought I gave you br00tal DIs?

 

[lolzgreg]

Honestly Jeff, I haven't even had time to look at them yet. Past week has been kicking my ass. I'll get down to it soon!
