EVH 5150 III

Man, I just played through another one of these this past week and forgot how much I absolutely love this amp. The clean tone is great on it and I love that blue channel. I actually prefer it to the red channel. I had my Duncan 805 overdrive in front of the amp and it just crushed. I'm trying not to spend money, but I don't know if I can hold myself back from getting one of these soon.

I used to have the LBX 2 and currently own the LBX 1. I like the red channel unboosted, but the boosted blue channel on either the 2 or 1 is to die for as well.

Been playing the 100 W head for 8 years or so now. It's a marvelous monster, though I can't say I ever got along too well with the blue channel. I just use it for slightly dirtier cleans.

I have the EL34 50w. In hindsight I wish I had gotten the 6l6 combo with the attenuator though. Would have been better for my uses.

I did recently put a precision OD pedal in front of it and wow, the blue channel really did sound much better.
