such a great amp!!

[@sasquatchmate4466]

Far out ola. U have to much money but you do spend it well.

[@rodrigoportolopes9816]

Amazing riff! What is this song?

[@nikbroderick9545]

Will we ever see a solar headless guitar?

[@craigharrison5406]

EVH amps are so damn tight...it's unreal. One of the few amps out there that doesn't need a boost.

[@bobach6083]

And don't forget about the presence dial.

[@jasonstallworth]

Dude, the amp is great but I love that deep roar from the ENGL cab!

[@SouthpawSatch]

I played one of these EL34 eqipped 5150s a few years ago and was absolutely blown away, one of the best amps I've ever heard. When I get the space to house it, I will eventually pick one up.

[@bobach6083]

I grabbed the 50w and I run it out of the 2x12 cab that comes with it and it is fuckin loud. It gets so much better when you push these amps though. Practice volume the tone is still there tho. Which is cool

[@jconner3891]

Get the 50 do the capacitor mod for blue channel and 2/12. Low volumes sound great.

[@JakobStrand]

I remember seeing a video where John Petrucci tested a Mesa prototype with Randall and Doug. JP was playing some chunked palm muted power chords: "You know it´s right when you barely can tell the pitch..." Your setup Ola is very much so!

[@pip5528]

Yes, the Mark Five 25. I love that video and I have seen it several times. I even went to watch it again for the first time in years when they finally launched the combo version 2 years ago.

[@Dejvi1997]

That amp definitely chugs ! Awesome tone dude ! The amp looks awesome! The ENGL really matches the 5153!

agree!

True Beast. Cool Gojira riff !! :)

[@ari598]

Would love to hear a comparison between the EL34 and 6L6 5150iii through the same cab.

[@christopher.k.guitar]

This amp is such a monster. Thanks Ed!

[@wannabesam]

very, very good sound. Sometimes I find it a bit unfortunate that you don't mix different pickups and therefore different guitars with the same amp. Ola testing pickups in the room.

[@chrisking6695]

Most of his tests sound the same TBH. Just goes to show that the guitar/pickups make a lot of difference.

[@greyXstar]

Cabs and amps together make up like 90% of electric guitar tone, especially with high gain

[@wannabesam]

@@greyXstar partially true when the end result is studio processed, but its in the room, an experience as if we would be there in the room When I play my guitars, I have to tweak the settings on my amp for every guitar. Some guitars sound really bad on one amp and good on another. Last I was in the store and grabbed some bare knuckles and plugged them in an evh 5150el34 and the pickups output was too high and sounded like crap. Both on the blue and red channel. Plugging the fishman in that was very good. The bare knuckles sounded great in a fender, overdrive and distortion pedal. Otherwise we would have one guitar if they sounded all the same.

[@M.C.R.SYNTRN]

The in the room series is very interesting, trying to replicate the sound that you would hear if you where there is pretty damn cool! Question for FAQ, what would you consider your personal masterpiece? Out of all the songs you have wrote. Sun and moon and lord’s resistance army are up there for me. Your the man!

[@snapascrew]

If you look back far enough you can find my original comment that inspired the series where I even gave him the title and everything 🤘😎

[@jakedavis4828]

Brings me back to my dad's recording from the 5150 tour

[@RicardoCoya]

Did not know the EL34 version was also under Stealth classification .... I have both ..and i never saw the S on it ...

[@williamdistasio9358]

He must've made a mistake no? I have a stealth lbx...I know its a small head, but I bought it a year ago, it's ALL BLACK DUDE

[@RicardoCoya]

@@williamdistasio9358 well ...the big one EL34 does have an S by the 5150 logo ....right over the EL34 .... just like the black version that has an S over the 6L6 .. I never saw it before

[@Ian-qf5ny]

This always trips me out cause my 50 watt el34 doesnt have an S

[@davidcaro8217]

Late to the party, but that is such a GOOD tube amp! I've played through my buddies combo amp version, on stage, and damn if that thing doesn't cover all the bases! It does everything so well! It's all the amp I'd ever need!

I need a kemper profile for that monster set! Please

[@coobanez777]

Whenever you welcome guests back into your space again you should have them do an in the room with you. Maybe try a rig of their choice out of your collection. Would be super interesting to hear how they sound in the room compared to you!

[@hittinskinz24]

That amp sounds amazing

[@helloyu6270]

Please consider comparing this amp with the fully blacked out 5150III 6L6 version. Would love to hear your thoughts in a back to back comparison between these two amps.

[@metalheadzac9119]

That right there is my dream set up with the EVH, those V30 speakers and a Jackson guitar and one day, a Solar guitar! Nice!

[@JubbyDubbis]

Solar is actually a bit easier on the wallet than most standard Jackson's. You can get a higher end solar guitar for the price of a standard model Jackson.

[@metalheadzac9119]

@@JubbyDubbis Yeah know right I need a guitar with a fixed bridge and been looking at Solars 🤘

[@JubbyDubbis]

@@metalheadzac9119 Fixed bridge/hardtail is my main squeeze as well. After owning a Floyd Rose, I made the smarter choice of only purchasing guitars with hard tails. Tune o matic is a close second, but you lose a lot of the natural resonance that you get from stuff like string through bodies, and the best (in my opinion) is the hipshot hardtail.

[@metalheadzac9119]

@@JubbyDubbis Yeah I like Hipshots there nice and tidy looking and a fixed bridge would be easier to play Megadeth and Paul Guilbert stuff with wouldn’t mind giving Evertune a go too

[@JubbyDubbis]

@@metalheadzac9119 Yeah, I've been entertaining the idea of getting an Evertune. Even though it'll add extra steps to changing strings and setting up intonation, it will still be massively easier than a Floyd. (If you haven't noticed I have a strong distain for Floyd's.)

[@brucegregori]

Hey Ola! reach out when you can - I want to do a demo on some of your guitars. Peace

[@vincentrandles8105]

It sounds great with my new JBL 500bt headphones! Keep up the good content Ola!

[@DetroitFettyghost]

Needs the low end turned up a bit...might just be my phone speaker. Gate is awesome. It'd mix in a recording great the way it is. Sounds great, I would play thru it without crying.

[@patrickolivier1]

Would you mix it using your phone speaker as well? 😉

[@DetroitFettyghost]

@@patrickolivier1 I was actually laughing two minutes after I posted that because THAT thought popped in my head lol. Naw man I definitely wouldn't have my phone anywhere near me 🤣🤣🤣

[@metal_helm]

Ola, I cannot stress this enough as I work with people with hearing loss. If the amp is above a conversational level you absolutely should use ear protection. Technology has improved in recent years, but there are no hearing aids out there that will duplicate a human ear. Don't destroy what you can't replace, please.

[@Mumumumykul]

mom you just dont understand

[@smith8281]

One day you wake up and the ringing won’t stop. It’s permanent

[@josephcastro3058]

Listen man, our ears have adapted to such noise. With the evolution of the human species we’ll soon no longer need ears to hear. We’ll be using our noses to hear and listen aside from smelling.

[@realtruenorth]

​@@josephcastro3058 hopefully comment humor improves also

I lost half of my hearing in one ear and it was just from loud amplifiers. I loved the really loud sound but now I have to use something to quiet the tone.

That tele is awesome

[@aandc2005]

EVH rules!!👍🎸

[@sapthuran9492]

Those Austrian Audio mics are so good... I recently picked up an OC818 and it seems to give a "cold" (in a good way, as in precise) and very 3D, organic, yet focused sound that includes the room if that makes sense (if it doesn't... it's just good.) The polar pattern plugin also can be very helpful but I find myself not using it as much as I thought I would, not because it doesn't work, simply because the mic makes a good tone easy to dial in from the start. The mic also requires little post-processing too. Highly recommended for capturing extreme metal tones and affordably priced for what you get.

[@nick_scherf]

I love this swedish Jesus with the Heavy riffs!

I should say that for me this amp sounds as an absolute beast (sorry for stealing your signature phrase, Ola!)) of a high-gain amplifier! Such a powerful, chunky and yet pristine tone! This is how a metal amp should sound, in my opinion! Thank you for another cool and funny video, Ola! :) P. S. Your reactions to the sound of this amplifier are invaluable, Ola!))

Love this series it's one of my favorites you produce! Would love to have you test a pairing of the new celestion help back with the celestion EVH speakers together. I watched a small demo clip and loved what they sounded like there, so I'd love to hear your take on the pairing! Maybe they could be viable a replacement/alternative for a great tone that isn't the same cab loaded v30's from the last 30+ years that have been done to death and back.

Celestion don't make all V30's equal. I'd love to see you do a test with a fixed cab and mic placement, and just swap out a Marshall V30, a Mesa V30, a British V30 from say an Orange, and Chinese V30 etc etc.

Who's buying amps like it anymore? So many guys, myself included going to dedicated modeler setups using them with FRFR's. I was at my local shop having some guitar work done and they said they are barely selling any amps. Even the owner is using a Kemper. My Mesa Boogie Mark V is collecting dust and I am looking to sell it off. Most of the venues aren't wanting as much stage volume and prefer to run everything through the PA. I use my FM3 for everything while I wait to get an FM9. I love the sound and feel of a good tube run hot and loud. That's what the modelers are working to model of course. They do a good job. I know on my part, I am just going to stick with running a Fractal unit into an FRFR and into the PA live. And use those same presets copied in different spots and slightly modded for most of my recording. I do love a good half stack. But simply don't need it anymore.
