Anthrax's Scott Ian is Hooked on EVH Amps

In this new EVH exclusive interview, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian explains how and why he is hooked on EVH amps, in particular the EVH EL34 100 watt head.
Watch as he waxes on about the tone he gets from his monstrous EVH heads.

I like how he uses the same pitch to sell both the Randall and EVH amps.

Scott had create one of the most powerful metal tone at the 80s thrash metal era, just hear among the living and you catched!!

[@bigpooch7368]

Scott plays Jackson which is owned by Fender which also owns EVH so it's kinda logical that he would stay in house with the EVH...

[@mooferoo]

He's "hooked" on EVH amps simply because Randall didn't continue their contract. I don't think it'd be easier to see through him if he was made of glass.

A BEAST THAT SINGS! I think I'm sold. I've been contemplating getting one of these heads for a while now. I was worried that it might be too saturated but Scott has relieved my doubts.

[@pilgrimMj]

His guitars used to be Washburn. His amps were Randall, which has the same parent company. He endorses Jackson guitars. Fender Musical Instruments Corporation owns both EVH and Jackson. Now he uses EVH.

Loving the Jackson V in the front - Michael Schenker black and white classic 80's!

I have the 50W version with the EL34 tubes. Awesome tone and brutal!!!

[@DROID1018]

Eddie is an amazing rhythm player as well as lead. Another guitarist that comes to mind is Steve Stevens where his rhythm is just as powerful as his leads. 🤙

[@JohnnyBeane]

Love these amps!!! Keep rockin Scott!!!

[@shanedavis3414]

I am confused, he did just put out a Randall signature amp right ? LoL

I was very happy with my H&K. I walked into a GC picked up an EVH guitar and plugged into a white 100W EVH amp. I wasn't happy with guitar, but I fell in love with the amp. I played 3 more guitars through the amp. After 30 minutes the sales guys comes over and says, "so WTF dude!" you gonna buy this shit!" I didn't even have money to buy picks. I said, Fuck Yea! I've gotta have this one. I financed the amp and cab. Sold the HK and some other shit and paid it off. Since, I've bought the 5150 BLOCK and a 50W EVH, but my EVH100W is my work horse and confidence builder. I don't know about the newer ones or the EL34's, but this amp kicks ass and makes me smile every single time I plug her up!!!!! RIP EVH and thank you!

I am glad I watched this and he didn’t play at all. Who would want to hear how awesome it is .

[@iwannarockon2010]

Yes! Hoping to own one soon! and I agree, Eddie is the best, with you close behind. Rock on! 🎸🔊

[@Frontbuner]

Scott speaks the truth. Those heads and cabs are beasts! Well worth the money!

[@psychojackjack2139]

I actually plugged into one of these things once. sounds great but it is LOUD. Unless you are playing big venues or outdoors, I would not recommend. But now, if you have to play super loud, this thing sounds great and is a MONSTER. Clean channel sounds great. Much improved clean over the other EVH amps or 6505s

[@Nobody-on6gt]

Still uses the jcm 800 though! Me thinks that is his favourite amp:)

[@Rooster7six]

guess the Randall contract ran out? His Ultimate Nullifier was a great amp, it too reminded him of the Bruce Lee one inch punch...

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

I own the 50w mini head. Everyone here on youtube says theirs a dark-sounding, but mine is so bright I end up dialing out a bit from my guitar's tone knob. And that's after dialing most of the treble and prescence knobs down on the amp.

[@johnmallios551]

I have this exact amp and he is totally right. The amp is ridiculous; the gain is amazing.
