EVH 5150 50w 6L6 v2 vs Stealth

[feraledge]

Just curious if anyone knows how the EVH 50w 6L6 v2 compares to the Stealth 50w. I had the v1, but believe the v2 came after the Stealth and I believe has more of its qualities, but wasn’t sure. Anyone experienced both?

I can't answer your tone comparison question, but if my memory serves me right the EL34 50w came out first (first amp with the duel concentric i mean), then the 6L6 50w V2, then the Stealth 50W.

I’m definitely losing track of the order between the last two. But it would seem there are three increases and changes in the gain stage between v1 and v2, especially if you count the 100w Stealth

Thanks for those, wondering about the v2 of the 6L6 though specifically.

V2 tone is basically the same as V1, just with the added concentric pots.
