BBT Just Delivered New Toy: EVH 5150 iii 2x12 cabinet

Just opened up my new EVH 5150 iii mini 2x12 cabinet. Mine is ivory.

Didn't realize these were "Made In Vietnam". Said so on box and on back of plate on cabinet. Everything looks really good. Only thing that sucks is that I don't have my head yet. Mine is on backorder and dates keep slipping. However, saw that a couple of small dealers had the cabinet; so, finally had enough money and bought one.

Will post pictures later tonight.

I'm still surprised that EVH and Fender seemed to do a major market push for these back in the fall and still no head. Wonder if there are "technical difficulties".

Yeah, I have the mini 50 watt head on order, but mine is on backorder. I haven't seen any going out or anyone stating they have theirs.

The dates for delivery with all the big box stores for when the heads will come out keep moving to the right. Originally the delivery dates were projected to start in October, then it moved to November, then December, then January, and now currently here in February. So, we'll see. I guess better late than never.

50 watts?
I thought that the micro series cabs had the g12h30...
30+30=60 watts not 50...

do you know the speakers?
 
Re: BBT Just Delivered New Toy: EVH 5150 iii 2x12 cabinet

The head is 50w, not the cab.

Ordering this head from MF todayyyyy

You're right. The spec sheet on the EVH Gear site even says 60 Watts in to 16 Ohms. 2 x Celestion® G12 Heritage 30.

The back of the cab in the pic above says 50W. However, that appears to be an oops on the plate because it should be 60W.

Micro series cab doesn't have the G12M's? That's kind of a bummer!

Didn't realize the cab tilted, that rules. You'll love that head, the 5150III is one of the best high-gain amps out there.

They are loaded with the Celestion G12H30 70th Anniversary speakers.

I was kind of hoping for the G12H(75) version, but for the price, etc., should be good. Just have to wait now for the head. :disappoin

Anyone with experience with the G12H30 speakers?
 
Re: BBT Just Delivered New Toy: EVH 5150 iii 2x12 cabinet

Yes, They are awesome! Its just a greenback with a 30w magnet instead of the 25w magnet.

Manual says 80lbs, but that doesn't seem right. Trust me the cabinet is WAY lighter than my Peavey 5150 combo, and I thought the Peavey combo was listed at 85lbs.

I wanted some versatility and it seems like it will be easier to transport. May require two trips, but each piece won't break my back which has already been screwed up by carrying too much stuff for Uncle Sam. Plus, it has some pretty sturdy wheels that can pop on and off.

Speaking of the Peavey 5150 combo--Anyone in Northern Virigina/DC area want one?

I've been reading alot about people complaining they haven't gotten their 5153 micro head yet. What's up with that? Cab looks cool. Hope it sounds as good as the regular 4x12.
 
Re: BBT Just Delivered New Toy: EVH 5150 iii 2x12 cabinet

They must be coming real soon because this morning I saw the MF had one listed as being USED for $869. I couldn't find any other details; so, I called them and the guy looked it up, but said it had sold already. I asked if they had them in stock and he said no and the USED one must have been a demo or something. In fact, if you go to Music123 site and enter search for 5150, it still lists the USED 5150 mini head there. Unfortunately, it is already sold.

I just have to wait "allegedly" until February 15th for mine. Hopefully, since they had at least that one, it means they REALLY will be coming soon. Until then, the cabinet will at least make a great coffee table.

Thats a way cooler cab than T75s! More presence, more vocal kinda sound, more vintage kinda vibe. T75s are good for a huge bottom end sound to fatten up and smooth off high wattage high gain amps like hot rodded marshalls.
i reckon that cab would be too cool.
Only small issue might be that its a 50watt amp and 60watt speaker box, but a lot of people like the sound of speakers being driven hard.
Cool looking rig tho whatever speakers you end up with. And really cool axe too!
