EVH 5150 III EL34 vs 5150 III 6L6 STEALTH | 50 watt powerhouses

After watching this video I now understand the true, ultimate winner. The el34 and 6l6 ran together in stereo.

[@craigharrison5406]

Both sound absolutely killer...the EL34 sounds a little more hairy with high gain as would be expected with EL34's. I just got the 50 watt 6L6 stealth and couldn't be happier. It has more gain without a boost than my Marshall DSL 100 does with a boost and that Marshall is no slouch.

I was considering selling my el34 and getting a stealth. After watching this, I'll be keeping my el34. Great video!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@emartinezr]

Both are great, but I also like the EL34 more. More versatile, you can get nice crunch tones and heavy distortion. I think the Stealth is too good, but also too much.

[@mikescotch8894]

Thanks Euge! I had both the EL34 100W and the 6L6 Stealth 100W, I sold the EL34’s because the 6L6 Stealth was a faster and tighter response with less mush. But, Both are incredible and if you never played the other, you would be perfectly happy with either one.

[@zachchorneyko7512]

Great video! This is the first time I’ve seen a review where someone knew how to handle the blue channel on the EL34 version of the 5150. Awesome idea to compare it to the JCM 800. I found this super helpful. Nice work Euge!

What the problem with the blue Chanel of el34 ?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Nothing IMO.

[@asnark7115]

@@ariskoskinas It's very muddy/muffled/cheap-sounding if you don't do the c137 clip mod. Do that to make it as clear as the other two 50 amps' blue channels. Some people mod that C137 capacitor with a toggle so they can have the vintage Marshall sound, or switch back to the modern EVH blue channel.

[@aawarlord]

@A snark where I can find that mod ? After the mod is coming close to the 100w blue ?

I recently got my EVH 5150 III 50 watt EL34 head. I am very happy with it. I like the overall size and weight. I didn't need the full 100 watt version. I love having 3 channels. I originally wanted the Stealth version, but the EL34 version happened to fit my budget better. I put up a few videos on my Instagram account, which have updates and comparisons of my Mesa Nomad 100. I have Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 for each head and manually switch between the heads. I am done buying stuff for awhile, but I love my setup now. I like having stereo Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus DI boxes. I barely have to use the gain on my EVH 3rd channel. Mine points at the channel switch button. 9:15 position approx.

[@XChristianNoirX]

Tô make the block letter sharp, you have to use the original preamp tubes that it was designed with and use an overdrive. In that amp, those tubes make a big difference. Most people who switched them out were trying to de-fizz the amp, but it's only fizzy with the stock tubes at low volume. At 4+ on the master, how Eddie used the amp, the fizz vanishes... However, the fizz is useful for metal IMHO, and it seems mose metal people put the Master in between 2 and like 3.2. Also, the taper of the presence knob is totally different with both amps, you have to turn the presence up much higher on the block.

Fantastic comparison. I prefer the Stealth version to my ears, but I can see the recording benefit of the EL34 version. That EVH guitar has a super bright pickup! I tried one in a guitar shop and had to bring the highs and presence on several amps way down. It pairs extremely well with the 5153 amps, a little bright for the Friedman JJ Jr, Marshall SC20H. I really want to run it through the SLO 30 and Bogner 3534. Anyways, sidebar! Man with actives they both sound monstrous. Advantage to the EL34 though. The ability of that sound to cut through a mix is undeniable.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@trevorwesterdahl6245]

First, excellent review from a perspective most actual guitarists want to see. Rarely do I see someone know exactly what's different and quickly demonstrate. Amazing. I have nice speakers and know...while listening... even excellent speakers can never really match what you hear live, but the 100 watt head, to my ears, had something special. Having said that, I also heard where each amp had a great voice and none wouldn't work for any scenario. I also suspect they could be tweaked to get what you want anyway. The newer amps do have features; especially MIDI, where they learn and you can have the amp auto-switch based on scenes, if connected to something like an Axe FX or Line 6, or whatever. That is an awesome feature that matters to me. Recently heard demos of the boss EVH dual channel delay (from Pete Thorn) designed to give you EVH's wet/dry/wet out of the box, whether you have three amps or two (simulates). Now, that is my dream. I want at least two EVH amps, the boss delay, a mimiq pedal (to simulate double tracking) and a harmonizer (to simulate two guitars soloing 1/3 apart in the scale). BTW: The noise reduction on that boss pedal is off the charts supreme. No noise and you don't lose the trailing echoes. Unbelievable actually. Again, great review. One of the best I've seen; even though I am not as heavy metal oriented (heavy chugging). No complaints, we have our own tastes. Even better that you have actual talent. Great stuff! Impressed and appreciate. One thing I would like to see is what EVH brought out in all his amps... picking up harmonics beautifully. I have a USA signature EVH guitar and the pickups do match the amp. Its very noticeable. Other guitars for me (Charvel, Gibson, Fender, PRS) just don't easily do the tapping harmonics or have that EVH thing. My Charvel San Dimas is closest and its actually my favorite to play because of its neck, width between strings, and other features just suit my fingers better. There is no doubt though... the EVH Signature pickups are tuned to match the EVH amps. Just sweetness comes out and it just seems like less effort to achieve. For me, if I could put my Charvel neck on the EVH: perfection.

[@LysergikFuneral]

Great video as always Euge! To help the EVH amps very sensitive volume controls, I put the JHS Little Black Amp Box in the FX loop - it acts as a second master to "dumb down" the volume knob and makes it easier to get the volume level you want. Doesn't seem to affect tone. You can of course use an EQ or volume pedal the same way in the loop and just reduce the output that way.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! Cool trick indeed 👌. I use an attenuator for that 😎.

Easily the best review so far. Got my hands on the 100w Stealth and EL34 yesterday at the same time. Stealth has absolutely ballsy aggressive gain, but the EL34 has this great compressive warmth across all spectrums, and its clean was just immaculate. You really captured the amps in all their truth. The 5150 Peavey actually sounded really good too! Thank you for an amazing video, and your candor was fun and knowledgeable. Subscribed 🤘😁

[@primeDecomposition]

Which do you prefer? I got a EL34 50W and have been debating getting the Stealth version too to compare, but these amps are so fucking overly compressed gain-wise even on the ‘rhythm’ channel (which is great for modern metal, little else), I feel I should just save for like a Friedman to get more natural less artificial sounding dirt tones.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

The EL34 one but my all time favourite amp is a Marshall JCM800 2203 which I have three 😎💪.

[@pjcb]

@@EugeValovirta230V I ended up going for the 100w EL34 and I have to say... I'm pretty upset. Out of the box, its tone was much harsher than I expected. Even messing with the resonance knobs on the back didn't help very much. The distortion sounds a bit weak, like a Fender blues crunch that's being pushed to its limit. Cranking the (red channel) gain, presence, and then the high end and mid finally gave it some saturation, but by that point your tone has suffered and that's all it can give you. The blue channel is thin and incredibly harsh. It doesn't sound much like the exact same model EL34 I tried 2 weeks ago.

[@pjcb]

@@EugeValovirta230V I'll admit, I'm not at all a fan of most fender amps. I feel they're thin, weak on distortion, and just never really give me the tone I want. I used to really like Peaveys (I think the XXX). Mesa's rectifiers were pretty decent. Marshall makes a great head for distortion, they have a warm, saturated distortion that reminds me of a blanket. This sounds like a fender amp with all the downsides of marshall muffling. Is there anything I can do? Would adjusting the tube bias help?

Continued great playing and comparisons. I think the 5150's are surprisingly similar especially given that they're using such different of power tubes.

NICE! You know I have been waiting for this one! Those EVH amps are great. Everyone seems to love them. Only SLIGHT differences between the two, from what I am hearing on my end. They do sound very close to your 800! And I think they sounded BETTER than your block-letter 5150. The clean channels are great on both amps. I have heard people say the "blue" channel on the Stealth is better than the "blue" channel on the el34. If I had to buy one of those right now... I would grab the 50w Stealth. I think it has a nice balance of tones and features, and it has all the gain and aggression I would ever need. It also takes pedals really well, so you can make it do what you want by adding your favorite pedals. The Stealth rhythm channel with the SD-1 sounded fantastic. Thanks for another great video!

I would still pick the JCM 800! That thing is a fire breathing dragon!

[@bigpiper2103]

What great timing, 5 days ago I managed to get hold of a used EL34 50 Watt - it's on its way now. Glad I chose this one over the Stealth/OG 6L6 III. If I ever want the 6L6 sound, I will go for Peavey 6505 - to my ears it sounds more musical than EVH 6L6 amps.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool man!

[@paddyoflaherty2519]

All the comparison videos of these two, i always thought the 6L6 version was much brighter with more clarity. The EL34 has a darker mid range crunch.

[@cantstartafire]

DUDE!!! That was freakin epic! Well done and thanks! Grabbing the el34 asap.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@TheMetalGBG]

Great demo and excellent playing! I think I like the 5150 III el34 best.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@wankerfreetv9180]

Great demo! Thanks for sharing it!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@cliffordcmayhewiii6549]

Wow great video and great playing!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@mysticphilosopher7777]

Your playing is amazing! Tone of the gods!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! 🙏☺️

[@martyjackson180]

Next you will have to compare with the upcoming evh 5150 iconic 80W :)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

😎👌

[@Greg-rd8qr]

Awesome as always!!! Thanks 🇨🇦

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man!

[@Plowguitarist]

😂🤣😂 These tones make me laugh they’re so stupidly great!! Thanks Eddie..🤘🤘 I absolutely LOVE my 50 watt Stealth..what a beast

[@EugeValovirta230V]

🤟😎

[@MarbsMusic]

I have the EL34 and have gain for days on red! I think the blue on the Stealth is a bit better, my best friend has that one. However my Maxxon 808 easily tightens it up and stand alone it's very 70s hard rock IMHO.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

👌🤟

[@maxmustardman298]

Having an eye on the St. Rock cab sim myself, finally I a good solution that I can put in my rack without using trays

[@LucifdeLuther]

Some people instead complaining that st.Rock don`t produces set-top version :) And it`s more than cab sim, most volume inside takes load part, digital part takes relatively small volume. Pure cab sim is st.Rock AMP:IR module for amp builders (can be found in Hook and Driftwood amps) www.st-rock.com/ampir/ .

[@maxmustardman298]

@@LucifdeLuther yeah I know, at the moment Im using the cab m by two notes and a rack load, but I wanna have an all the functions in one place if possible. The less stuff on already crowded floor boards or on other surfaces the better ;)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah it’s really good!

[@fedboy21]

Dang!!!! I love the el34 tone version... its has the bites... Man, i feel so regret it that a year ago my friend wanna trade this amp with my fractal ax8 but i dont pull the trigger. I wish ive tried it first that day. Btw as ussual, great playing and awesome tone on the 800 🍻🍻🍻

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! Damn 😎. Yeah ’The Bad Boy’ is quite special 💪.

[@Im2Old4ThisShite]

Euge!! I think you should get a dsl100hr from Musix and do a shootout with the 800's, plexi and 5150 to show how an 800€ amp from marshall compares?... what do you think?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Great idea man! I actually asked it a while ago but they didn’t have it then but as soon as they have I’ll try it 👌.

[@Marcelo_B_159]

As always amazing playing! You could play a 1w mini amp and make it sound great! You always find the sweet spot of all amps

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! 😎

[@Jani-bc9fx]

It would be very interesting to see you to test Hughes & Kettner Grandmeister Deluxe 40 amp. Thanks for the great videos.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

If I get my hands on one then for sure 👌. Thanks man! You’re welcome 🙏.

[@tonycoleman8492]

I ended up purchasing the 5150 EL34 mostly due to this video. Comparing to the other amps gave me the information I needed. Loving this amp. Thanks for the work you put in to make these videos.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool man! Really glad to hear this 🙏👌.

[@dreyn7780]

Crazy, what a waste of time and money.

[@thijmendenhartigh5759]

Thanks for the video!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

You’re welcome man! 😎

[@thomasdiviesti]

In this video I heard some of the best guitar tones ever

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad to hear! Thanks!

[@alexandermsanchez]

Great vídeo.... Start the weekend!!!Ev.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah! 👌

[@manicmurph]

I have the 50 watt 6L6 which I love. The stealth is pretty bad ass cause it's got more gain and the bias things on the back of the amp so you don't have to open it up. All these amps are great. My amp right now channels 1 and 2 aren't working so I believe it's the preamp tubes. I have some on the way. That's one thing that kind of sucks is that tubes are expensive. A whole set is probably over $200 bucks.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

👌🤟

[@gistythegreat9611]

Really enjoyed the video and riffs. Very thorough, my friend. Getting ready to pull the trigger on the 6L6 model and this video definitely made me a believer. Cheers!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Glad to hear!

[@Zulumann25]

I like the EVH 's but those MARSHALL'S have me SALIVATING 😁❤

[@EugeValovirta230V]

👌😎💪

[@theirishhammer9451]

6L6 for me, they are pushing tone no matter what the volume!
