EVH 5150iii Metal Tones

Exploring some metal tones in the EVH 5150iii 50w. Dressed a little different from the usual grey $6 Target shirt. I love my skateboarding and just found out one of the greats, Jeff Grosso passed recently at 51. I loved watching his Loveletters to Skateboarding. That was my era and he was one of the good ones.

I Watch LambChopper Since 2012 when i was only 16 years, today i'm 25 Years Old Learned Many Things Watching Your Videos Thanks Lamb

[@Simon_Rix]

You nailed the Slayer tone, Justice was really close, all you needed was a shit ton of compression. You were close on Puppets but it needed some more mids. All in all just amazing. Thank you.

[@_yungfrankz]

Simon Rix i think he was spot on ha

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

I immediately said the same thing

[@golfcoursemanager33]

which one was the Slayer tone? a lot were close. Just wondering??

[@SmoothCriminal69]

Fun fact: in Stranger Things, Eddie Munson's guitar tone actually came from an EVH 5150 despite using a Fender Princeton Reverb in the film

[@bigmike9527]

Dude I'm finally about to get that exact amp and I am 48 years old and I've been waiting an EVH 5150 iii for over a decade 🤘🤘. Needless to say that I am very excited.your tones were fantastic and your playing is also fantastic 🤘🤘💯. Greetings from south alabama USA

[@fish86stang]

I’m 42 and I just got mine yesterday I’ve been waiting for years to get one also best amp I’ve ever had

[@dixoncider4915]

@@fish86stang I’m 40 and been wanting it for ages too and just got mine yesterday. Lol cheers

[@Hjaltewang]

Im 14 and saving up

[@alaskanadventures5865]

Yup! 45 here and finally ordered from Sweetwater! Now just staring out the window for the next few days lol

[@elijahpeters3637]

I want to specifically thank you for showing what it sounds like scooped. I can't find any reviewer that will ever turn the mids below halfway. I know people bash cutting the mids but sometimes a little scoop is called for.

[@coropinion]

I love my 5150 but i can never get these tones without an eq in the loop. I love this guy btw.

[@irace2866]

Man Just seeing you play is brilliant

[@IsabellaCatherine19XX]

Thanks, mate! What lovely tone and nice playing! My 5150 III 6L6 50w head and matching cab will be here later today! It's been ages since I've had a proper tube amp.

[@dragonv7863]

this man is SO LUCKY, he gets to play with a lot awesome hardware. his wife even bought him a Jackson guitar! how cool is that? wish my wife buy me something like that

[@PhillipMcKnight]

great video!

[@coropinion]

His videos are always great. I really like your videos too, Phillip Knight.

[@AD1978leo]

I just ordered the 50 Stealth. Can't wait it's been way too long since I had a 5150 and this will be my first EVH. Also,I really enjoy your videos!

[@TmanBlades]

The tone you got at the end with the gain turned down sounded awesome! 🤘

[@JeffreyTheTaylor]

For high gain, multi channel heads, you really increase your options with a good EQ pedal. The MXR M108S ($130) is 10 bands with Vol (pre) AND Gain (post) boosts. Perfect for the taming the EVH wolf and roar.

[@Hitemwhereithurtss]

Great playing and amp

[@ericwalsh2155]

Super cool that you mentioned Green so in the description. My era of skating too!!!

[@ericwalsh2155]

Grosso (fuck you autocorrect)

[@zelipapa84]

Great tone, I really like your playing , it's very clean, you should do a tutorial on proper string muting, that's the problem I've got when playing

[@xmistersinisterx]

Agreed. Right when I heard that my head and ears stood up like a dog being called to play fetch.

[@monkeylovingtroglody]

Could you just do an hour loop riffing metal tones. I'd drive around listening to it. So good.

[@NathanMichalik]

That was my first "real" amp. I really loved it, but ended up trading it for a JVM 410H. I've now switched to the Synergy stuff, but really hope they eventually do a module of this amp. Great demo!

[@wolfgangforex419]

Nice Man. Brutal sound. Great Ampli.

[@K0KR0K]

...and just another great LAMB-CHOPPIN' video from the MASTER!!!

[@amjedjabari1929]

Spirit in Black is my favorite Slayer song, thank you sir for playing it. I got the EVH 5150 Pedal and it's awesome.

[@NinecoreNeil]

Great amps I’ve had 3 of them so far the 100 watt EL34s seems to be the best for me ,great vid again

[@saltpeter7429]

Neil, what do they ship with? 6L6 or el 34? I used to think I knew the difference, but I have been hearing some great amps on here lately and have been proven wrong with my perceptions.

[@NinecoreNeil]

Pete Thoresen there are 6l6 versions and eL34 ,many years ago I realised people associated el34 amps with marshall and 6l6 with Mesa or American amps...I get that however don’t judge an amp by its power tubes is what I learned

[@williamrogers3825]

Great riff choices mate🤘

[@timbrackeen3508]

We share the same music interest for sure. That’s what I grew up playing I’m 49

[@akaboo69]

sounds killer dude. I love the EVH and I love Marshalls too lol

[@KlimatorUzurpator91]

I had that amp. Blue channel is great when it is boosted. Very dynamic with high clarity .

[@singleproppilot]

On mine I leave the red channel gain at 2. It makes a nice, crunchy rhythm sound which is darker than the blue channel. If I want to use the red channel to play leads, i step on a boost pedal.

[@mackenziegreen1215]

great review. looking at this amp to put on top of my new emperor cab, also props to Grosso. one of the goats.

[@joeogle5816]

Super vid!! I learned so much from this. Thanks!!

[@MartyDadRiffs]

I had never read your bio or heard you speak. I assumed you were English for whatever reason. I was wrong as you are an Aussie, but you already knew that. Thanks for making great videos and being my back up visual aid when I am trying to figure out riffs. RIP Jeff Grosso.

[@JohnnyBeane]

Love the 5150 series gear!

[@PapaSancho666]

Great overview. I have the EL34 version and I am curious to see how it sounds with your EQ settings. Thanks for all you do. Cheers and be safe mate!

[@LucasSimines2]

Thanks LambChopper for those blue channel settings, using right now in my 5153 \m/

[@msvc5083]

Awesome vid as always. Thanks for all you do man.

[@RavenWinterz]

Such a brutal sounding amp. I complained about this amp a while back because the knobs were super plastic and cheap feeling but other than that it's gotta be the most brutal sounding amp right out of the box. Im sincerely reconsidering.

[@silverburst3112]

Amazing video thanks so much can’t wait to try the settings

[@majorlee1]

Just pre ordered the new 5150 iconic and now watching this! 🤘😎

[@dzonigole]

Could you do a cover or a lesson on Slaughtered Pantera?

[@TimSchuchman]

Best pantera song ever!

[@theabsolute23]

The tone you get around 8:00 sounds dope as fuck

[@DeathPenny]

Dude Thank you - great Job!!!! Looking forward to playing one

[@thekrevolution]

Great chugging tones there lamby, nice one mate. Theres a lot of great metal tones from that 5150 and the cab sounds sweet too. I picked up the black EVH 212 cab with celly G12H 30 anniversary speakers which are sounding great too. EVH are making some killer gear

[@mickhenness8514]

Perfectly timed vid. Looking to drop drop cash on one of these (after I test drive it). Best vid ive seen that really shows what the blue channel sounds like.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Fuck yea!!!! .....that's how i use mine brother!.... I turn the gain on 2-3 on the red channel...resonance all the way up, eqs round noon, sounds freaking amazing, plus all my tubes in switched to JJ's..... Thanks for a great video man!.... Love your channel brother!.... You gotta get the Hetfield vultura v guitar brother, I've noticed you like v guitars!...

[@LambChopper678]

Thanks mate, I don’t like 24.75 scale necks. They feel like my kids guitars. I don’t really want any new guitars. I think 6 electrics, 1 bass and an acoustic is enough. I’d have to sell one to make room. If I did it’d prob be a Jackson king V or Duplantier Charvel.

[@edwardkania142]

I have an EVH and I just bought a Charvel. This is a great tone.

[@headbang71]

Great stuff lamb. Do your next megadeth video with this ,that will be awesome

[@mattstewart954]

Thank you so much for this video!!! Very awesome!!! Great tone!!!

[@michaellandrumguitar]

cool i was thinking on buying a EVH SOUNDS GOOD

[@angelblackworldwide5763]

Great tone. I use the 100-watt EVH which I wish I would have bought the 50 watt. Angel Black is going to record our 2nd record and I'm going to use the EVH. I appreciate your help u gave me some ideas. Thank you Mike

[@MultiStar84]

What’s wrong with the 100

How to play "Ashes in your mouth" Please I love this song and your cover

Hey thanks mate, welcome 👊🏻

[@gozer9556]

0:59 my ears perked right t/f up!!! Heck yeah Tornado of Souls!!

[@AkiraSpectrum]

sounding really sick!

[@jhorse2656]

Sick tone😠🤘

[@craig9605]

I just ordered the 2.0 version, I had a first generation and regrettably traded for a Flying V a few years back. I will say this though, get the EVH cab for it, some people think V30s sound better with this amp but I disagree. The EVH 2x12 has the G12H 30th Anniverary Celestion speakers which have better balance for this amp.

[@jesuislm]

I like the EVH a lot, I had the 100w version and sold it and buy the 100 stealth and is just perfect. The 100w is more versatile because has less gain.

[@AntonelloDefilpo]

Great sound...Great tone the best amp ever

[@davecooper360]

sounds great!!!!!!!!

[@marquitobach7213]

If I'm right, Machine head used a modified 5150 to record "Burn my Eyes"

[@johnsmith-de2py]

I think it was a modded Peavey 5150 block letter which is the predecessor to the 6505 and EVH 5150iii but I could be wrong.

[@thatninjarider]

They did, was the Peavey version. But they're very very similar.

[@MrEarltron]

Lovin it man. I have the same amp and only play on channel 3 (red) as I like the option of going to clean and it's way too soft otherwise. I'll be stealing some of those tones for rhythm!

[@MetalDread89]

Amazing as always bro. I just picked up the 50 watt combo last night. That intro riff was Megadeth correct? Its bugging me a cant remember ths name of the song!

[@TheJMan1K]

Want one so bad! Current setup is Bugera JCM clone with a Fortin grind though Carvin 4x12 with G12-75 On the newer models with shared EQ I’d consider running an OD (make the low end flubby and add it) but without that the clean would suck.

[@dylanporter8105]

Ive always found the evh/5150 amps do Metallica tones really well

[@its-ye-boi-belakay4041]

Good stuff man

[@83442handle]

this morning i made the call the one it ends it all hanging up i wanted to cry

[@jamesmccracken9323]

This dude is just destroying it ,great sound and great playing ! A very great video with a great guitar player !

[@DC-uk9pg]

Sounded awesome! Have you played the EVH LBX 15w head? If so how do they compare?

[@k33pstrumming39]

So you skate too? Thats fcking awesome

[@portuguesebeer5069]

Very cool amps, guitars and riffs. Do you know the 6505Mh? How does it compares with the EVH? Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

[@siralexzepeda]

Awesome video I have a EL34 version and it sounds great as well. Have you tried to make a Dime Tone with this amp?. I'd love to check It out.

[@rkan665]

Look up his eq pedals settings, I don't think you could get that tone easily.

[@brandonproctor3639]

Getting a Dime tone wouldn't be easy through most amps lol. That's a hard one to conquer.

[@Dave6SS]

Is the EVH Cab Good?...never played thru one..really want one sounds Great in this vid

[@LambChopper678]

It is a nice cab, we’ll made quality ply with glued seams. Sounds smooth through all my amps

[@SuperGuitar38]

That amp sounds very different thru v30's. More gain thru the EVH cabs.

[@cam0767]

Hi mate that sounds great could you just run through your signal chain and also what are you running through the front and through the effects loop if applicable Just bought one of these amps for Metallica and Machine Head tones amongst others and its great

[@thewhalenorman]

1:01 Punkomatic 2 sound intensifies

[@zzubuzz]

There at 6:10 that Metalica is more what it sounds tuned into, and other metal..but I guess the classic VH tone could be dialed in especially if thru a 4x12.

[@thefilthygringo9228]

Fuckin A that’s bad ass man!

[@OfJaggedRisings]

Have you ever made a shootout video of your different rigs?

[@techdeathhippie6319]

If you have good clean pickups like Lundgred M8s the red channel is tight and useable . Lundgred pick ups help make the highest gain amps ultra tight . It’s not amps with too much gain . It’s just most pick ups have too much nasty over tones

[@oshikiri999]

You freakin rip man!

[@adrienb.4839]

This video actually helped me a lot to find my own setup ! Mids actually are the key for good Slayer stuffs. How would you setup the knob for a Pantera style tone ? I know that you love cowboy from hell riffs ;). Thanks dude !

[@LambChopper678]

I would start on the red channel winding the gain right back and scoop the mids adding teen and bass. You’ll also need a an eq in the front to boost mids back up. That would be my starting point

[@adrienb.4839]

@@LambChopper678 Thanks dude I'll try that ;)

[@ashkankoushan8192]

Hey you got a good touch, congrats. One thing that strikes me is the difference in the tone with your demonstration and the ones i see from a couple of others ? I was wondering if you added any extra gear in the middle ? Just checked to see any listing of the gears in charge, none found. Thought I ought to ask yourself. That would be further enlightening if you kindly make clear what gears exactly you r using? By the way, I love your taste and hey you do rock !!

[@LambChopper678]

Hey thanks mate. I used no effects. Not even post processing eq or compression. How it sounds on the video is pretty close to what I hear in person. Ive done several other demos with this amp that might help decide

[@jeisck95]

Maldita sea, que bien suena!!!!!!

[@jkilpatrick5214]

Request... Show how Van Halen's Dancing in the Street is played and how the sound/tone is replicated.

[@TheIrishLoaf]

Great stuff. Is your voice mic picking up room sound?

[@Wargasm644]

No habla “unusable gain”? I chain 4 hi gain distortion pedals and tap into a reactor 🤘🏻 get some!!

[@chriscalvert4625]

So I’ve decided on getting the amp! Question on the cabinet though, do you think I should stick with the matching cab or get something with vintage 30s?

[@EDAR96]

HARVESTER OF SORRRRRROOOOOOWWWWW

[@dantrag2890]

I have the 5150 iii LBX ii, and my experience with tubes amps is pretty limited. I've noticed that mine starts to really get that tone dialed in the longer it stays on, about after 30 minutes. Is that common with tube amps?

[@LambChopper678]

Exactly how they are

[@brandonproctor3639]

Those tubes have to heat up
