I am a newbie to the tube amp world, need help. I played a 50 watt 5150 in a store and noticed that it seemed to have more gain and was tighter than my week old 50 watt 5150. I have the 2x12 and the one at the store was 1x12 so I initially thought that was the difference. I took my cab to the store and again the head at the store had more gain and was tighter. I then compared my head to the head at the store on the same cab and got the same response. I like the sound of the head at the store better, do you think my head just needs to be broken in or is it a case of no two tube amps are the same?
Sleazy D, that case is sick nasty![]()
That actually reminds me! I put tons of foam around my head so there's not a huge awkward gap between it and the walls of my road caseI'll upload a pic or two of it tomorrow
Settings vary so I will just give you my settings at this precise moment in time for the track I'm working onHey bros what's your settings for your amp heads? Throw it out to me. I want try out some different tones later and want to see what works and what doesn't. Thanks mates! You guy's rock!
i love my evh but my ch 2 sounds horrible with the pickups i have. I have had it looked at and it just does not work.
ceramic warpig. I guess its a problem with the heads made in vietnam. there is a big thread on rigtalk about it. I wish i could use ch2 because sometimes i get tired of how over the top ch 3 is but sounds horrible. To have it modded would change the sound of the ch 2 and probably cost more than the amp is worth so i decided against it.
Gobsmacked!!!I wish i could use ch2 because sometimes i get tired of how over the top ch 3 is but sounds horrible.
Well look what FedEx just dropped offNow to do some playing and speaker break in!

Ok I've had a chance to riff all my guitars with my amp and cabinet. My Schecter Hellraiser has lots of balls that's all I can say. And those active EMG's. kick some serious ass. It's a whole different sound from my Gibson's and my PRS. Don't get me wrong they all sound pretty good. I'm just loving the tone my Schecter is pushing paired up with my EVH 5153. Just wanted to share!![]()
Take the $100 and runNeed some advice. Bought a 5150 iii 50 watt from AMS online. Awesome amp. However there is a 2 inch crease or thin bubble in the tolex right next to where the handle screws down. Hardly noticeable but its there. AMS said I could exchange it but once again they are out of stock so I would have to return mine and get back on the waiting list for a few weeks. Or they will discount it a 100.00 bucks and I just live with it. My only concern is it getting worse over time. What would you do? Im thinking on just taking the discount since you really cant see it unless looking for it. Thoughts?
