Robb Flynn from Machine Head. Says so on the rack by the Furman unit. All around badass and one of the coolest guys in metal.Who is that?
Want! Love my 5150III 50 watt but with is had separate volume and gain for channels 1 and 2. I know I can get it modded for this, and might still. But this this coming out, I don't know!

I seen that too, but I didn't want to make it quite that easy on LP.
Does anyone know what the release date is?
Good point but how many 5150/6505 users "know" that these amps have 2 channels? Even fewer have used the first one ever. I'm guessing that the least used item in peavey's history is the footswitch for these amps...
Eddie never really played EL34s. He played 6CA7s and when those ran out 6550s.Preferences changed over time, I guss?
From initial reports, the 50w EL34s blue channel is nothing like the 100w 6L6 or EL34 version. Totally different voicing. The 50w EL34 Blue channel is more akin to an old Marshall that was hotrodded. It has all those Marshall mids, presence and kerrang! Not modern sounding like we're used to from the EVH amps. This amp is much closer to Ed's classic tone. The new EL34 clean channel is a real winner apparently. Better than the 100w & 6L6. The red channels are practically the same though...a Lava spewing Chainsaw.Ive never been able to play thru any of the EL34 loaded 5150 IIIs. How and how much do they differ tonally from the normal ones?
I figured as soon as the 100 watter came out a 50 would be close behind.
Funny, the write up points out that his signature sound came from EL34 driven amps.. I always found it odd that his PV and EVH amps always came with 6L6s

. Probably a bad power tube. Maybe a fried resistor on the tube socket. Doubt it’s anything serious. Shipping might have shaken it up a bit and caused an issue with one of the tubes. Usually it’s tubes with a tube amp. May not be the sellers fault at all. A warning: sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can just replace the tube but if there’s a fried resistor now because of a bad tube the new tube will fry as well until that bad resistor is also replaced. Eventually you’ll need to learn a little more about the workings of guitar amps so you can at least be comfortable looking inside the amp and recognizing these issues and deciding for yourself whether you c@n fix it yourself or need a tech.Hi sorry to going off topic but couldn't find any thread related to my query, So I am hoping that someone here could help me out.
I had just bought an EVH 5150 III 50 W amp from ebay and on turning it on at the first time, the fuse blew off.. I had the fuse replaced and powered on and it blew again. It was my mistake that I blindly trusted the seller and now I am struck with a faulty amp head. This is my first amp purchase and it turned out to be a bitter experience. Please, help me how to fix this issue.
FYI I live in a place where there are no amp repair shop for miles. So I have no other option that you seek you help and fix it my self.
