EVH 5150 Iconic EL34 - NOW WITH SOUND!

[@OlaEnglund]

In this video I'm trying out a new feature... It's called export file with sound. It worked great.

[@Bernz66]

lol…. Thanks for explaining that…. It didn’t get it at first…. Love how you can laugh at yourself over simple little mistakes.

[@SomeGuyDjoeOnBass]

Sounds good to me!

[@CyberChrist]

That feature will never trend.

[@alfonsoobando3616]

From a pure aesthetic POV, I thought the first video nailed it! Amp looks killer. Amp Looks Matter!!

[@RealGengarTV]

Sound movies will never overtake the art of silent movies *puts nose in air*

[@tylergiraffakakis1539]

I think “Now with sound” might be my favorite KZbin tagline

[@tylergiraffakakis1539]

And OHH the sound

[@E-MusicProductions]

The 5150 with the mesa cab "now with sound" sounds amazing!

[@AnthonySkunkGreen]

Dude….that switch to the Mesa cab was a no brainer that it sounded PERFECT!

[@Double_0_7_Strings]

I just got my first 5150, an Iconic combo cause your videos sounded so great. Sounds killer!

[@OlaEnglund]

Very nice!

[@denis.yarmonik]

Me too, got it today. Sounds killer!

[@MarcAndreOlivier]

Everything sounds so much better in that beast of a Mesa cab 👌🏻

[@tomeumoyacanyelles5692]

That tune with Opeth vibes gave me the CHILLS!!!! AMAZING PLAYING AND SOUND, AS USUAL...

[@thefruitoflongsuffering777]

I can approve of this video! Just got one a couple of months ago and I love it. Switched from Mesa to the 5150 iconic el34 and never looked back lol the sound you can get out of that thing is amazing and the speakers in the cabinet are evh cellestions and they sound great as you want them to sound from a beast of a rig like that.

[@ajcjcarvalho]

I think this one of best metal tones I ever heard!!!

[@21stcenturymetal31]

Ola never disappoints with the new tracks. They seem to get better and better every year. Also The look of the entire package amp and cab look really clean. I dig it

[@mmiller6873]

Sound was so hard that the truss rod cover was almost ready to fall off. Well done and Merry Christmas!!

[@jazzmasterbator]

I recently purchased this amp after my 6505+ shit the bed for the last time and absolutely love it!!! I also am quite fond of the green channels clean and overdrive sounds. I was really surprised by how much I love this amp, I much prefer it over the original iconic (which I’ve tried many times and never really liked enough)

[@jamessigmon4765]

How noisy is it vs the 6505+?

[@jazzmasterbator]

@@jamessigmon4765 WAY less noisy

[@TheMrnova11]

I've been following you for over 10 years now, I always appreciate your demos and opinions on gear, I love you videos and sense of humor...thanks Ola...I always enjoy your content ...

[@Gitarzan66]

That sounds flippin killer with that Mesa Cab.

[@Krigloch]

Using mine with a Vader 2x12. Sounds great. So much fun!

[@Snowby40]

When you chug too hard that your truss rod cover falls off

[@crock2434]

I thought it was a Jimmy clip or something lol😅

[@86rattlehead]

Chug even harder, and your truss rod itself will break, too! 😅

[@PecioPL]

@@Snowby40 where do you see it ? lol

[@MegaDocjoe]

I recently got this amp and paired it with a custom 4x12 cab containing Celestions G12T-75 and V-Type in X pattern.....Killer Amp !

[@kaanerkucuk581]

That moment when switched to Mesa Cab was amazing lol. Sounds killer.

[@davidp7833]

Ola has been playing sick intros lately on SWOLA. I dig it

[@KingConan]

I’m wondering if that was from a new The Haunted song

[@toysmitty]

Love sound, yes. Also that opening riff sounds incredible!

[@ZacharyMoonshine]

I think this is the best one they have done yet. At least from the sound clips of everyone on KZbin. I have a capture of the 6L6 version on Tonex but someone needs to upload a capture if this one! Much better!

[@goatsurgeon]

Such a big big beautiful amp and cab

[@zipporaid]

Another john brown classic. Glad to hear this one! I wish they did a smaller head though.

[@davidlawson7786]

Absolutely crushing tone Ola! Wow, that amp is a beast! I think I know what amp I’m getting if I ever decide to purchase another tube amplifier. You can’t go wrong with EVH/Fender when it comes to hard rock and metal applications. That amp is so raw and has plenty of saturation in the gain. Ola that song/riff is badass! Thank you for everything you do, very inspiring. 🤘

[@andrewasch7739]

I mean… you can… EVH and Fender have been reliably keeping amp techs in business from the beginning.

[@mattkiser3997]

Sounds cleanly brutal!! Nice. Couldn't stop looking at your truss rod cover flopping. Cheers

[@iwannarockon2010]

Sounds ferocious 🤘

[@jacobbutcher8847]

Thanks for having me on your last iconic video! After getting a ts9, 6 band eq and a noise gate this is now my favorite tone!

[@iLLuzion1st]

Unironically, those 3 items are needed to make most amps sound tight and focused. So even if you get another amp you will still have the golden trio of pedals there.

[@Colin-o9t]

Great tones Ola. Merry Christmas to you Louise and your family and crew.

[@darylhicks7008]

I bought both the EL34 and 6L6 heads. I prefer the EL34. Better tone. But hate the burn switch on both. Way to over the top. I run a TS9 on green channel overdrive engaged to tighten up and an SD1 on red channel. This amp is a very versatile piece of equipment. I love it. Took me a while to dial it in to my liking as I typically use a jcm800.

[@PaulEubanks]

Thank you for using the matched 5150 cab instead of running it through one of those Mesa cabs that makes everything sound the same. *Edit - 9:55... god dammit. ☹

[@hip-hopjedi4423]

😂 had you in the first half huh

[@PaulEubanks]

@@hip-hopjedi4423 I should have known

[@youWoNtLikeMe04]

I'm a big fan of the iconic series amplifiers. It's often overlooked that they have very good cleans...

[@Ryan_Messenger]

Hell yeah! EL34s are a good choice. Also the iconic heads are 80 watts, brother

[@musick777]

Holy cow the intro song was awesome

[@CamdenBoggio]

What a colossal difference in sound when you switched over to the Mesa cab

[@thehoppo]

Yaaaay I can hear clearly now

[@Icipher4]

Sounds incredible. Love the chuggy-saturation.

[@stevenabernethy1133]

Amazing tone and riffage Ola . Seattle awaits your presence 🫡👽

[@bradyfritz480]

@@stevenabernethy1133 agreed!!

[@KevinTarrant-by3fi]

Fantastic job brother! Sounds great!

[@therealandrecorbin4050]

EL34s is where it's at. Low wattage amps are great for turning all the way up to get that power tube response. I use a Marshall dsl20 always on 10. Cheers

[@danielguest7841]

That intro song is fucking balls out heavy! That’s some good shit brother! 🤘

[@tymanngruter1808]

Not onley with sound, now Ola with his best sound! ♨️♨️♨️

[@BlackHeart_YouTube_Channel]

Now with sound is a good Video! Would love to have the comparison with no sound!

[@Mar33322]

Sounds really good. Those early S Sunburst Solars have some magic. Still have my and its still my favorite Solar.

[@joefrascatore2920]

Amp sounds amazing 👏

[@michaelgallegos8811]

I been ysing the 6L6 head through a Marshall 4x12 and a Egnater 4x12 they both sound great .This El34 head sounds nice almost tempted to get this version 😂.

[@javoridaniel4112]

Thanks for fixing the sound Ola! Much Better! 😁😎

[@TheNeurovascular]

What a goose bump!!your song is awesome but also tone.

[@mortalcurse]

one of your best recent opening songs!

[@Timichaud]

10:51 what a sound mannnn🤘 reminded me The Agony Scene tone from The Tormentor album. Insane tone.

[@thepolishshop]

Good stuff!

[@Timichaud]

@thepolishshop Don't understand why that band is not more popular. At least The Tormentor album. So great !!

[@thepolishshop]

@Timichaud I know man. First metal band I ever saw live. With norma jean and beloved. Early 2000s. Also, if you like hardcore stuff my band is I Am The Catalyst!

[@HughJassill]

That Mesa cab sounds AMAZING

[@VForsaken]

Again impressive how different reacts different cab

[@WilburTrapRepository]

Glad to see that truss rod adjustment paid off.

[@genghisghost]

oh my god those riffs!!!

[@volume8]

this sounds fantastic.

[@simonr344]

I like metal tones that you can hear

[@saintmanuel]

6:20 German appreciation for this, Ola! Sad, but true. But scholzing the noisegate isn´t that bad in comparison.

[@stug5041]

Big fan of the iconic series; I own an original 5153 6L6 and while they iconics are different, to me they’re damn near as good as

[@ozdanger479]

At 2:00 minutes in, now that’s an accent. Love you videos

[@chrisloud1976]

Great playing, super tight and clean! That amp sounds great 🤘🏻it would be cool if you played some Van Halen licks because it is a 5150.

[@primaballerina84]

A bit darker and moderate gain/output pickup with this amp and you're in VH Balance era heaven 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🪄🪄🪄🪄

[@godin136]

Sounds great Also with retrospect sometimes sound no video 😅 🤘🤘🤘

[@TreyXanthean-c5h]

OK, Awesome, now just for fun PLEASE try out a Peavy 6505+ i just want to see what you sound like playing through one... THIS was bad ass!

[@watkinscharles829]

Ought to do a capture before sending it back🤘

Come on Ola. Let's hear some pinch harmonics! We need some squelies. 🤘🤘

[@florenttenryu5011]

Excellent riffage on this demo ❤🤘🤘 Too much gain is a bit too much for me, though

[@Linkaara]

EVH: Sends Ola a combo to create a demo and get some publicity Ola: _plays the combo_ : Sounds good Ola: _changes the cab_ : Sounds better EVH: Goddamnit

[@johnyang799]

I actually do like the sound of the 5150 cab here.

[@craggle_guitar]

Starting a new trend of having the trust rod cover loose and hanging on?! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🎸

[@ilovegreenock]

I like that frothiness though ! No amount of gain should be tamed 😆😆😆

[@Patrick_theshuttercanvas]

Don't get me wrong, the Mesa cab w/ V30's sounds amazing. I'm still kinda leaning toward the sound of the 5150 cab. I'm pretty sure it is loaded with Celestion EVH G12's which are a slightly tweaked Greenback if I'm not mistaken. Might be cool to replace a couple of the EVH G12's for V30's in an X pattern!

[@alexanderlumberjack]

Using both cabs would be rad

[@heavymetalchaplain3874]

Ola, your truss rod is showing!!

[@charlesneukuckatz1869]

[@edneyhelenedossantos1875]

That's the Metalzone of the tube amps hahaha! Sounds lovely but soooo much gainnnnnnnnnnnn

[@salkynsuuguitarraqua]

No words amp!

[@TheDynamite333]

Bro, good call testing the amp with Mesa, sounds way much better with that cab. I didn't like the matching cab at all.

[@zoomzoomtraveler]

Although I love my 80w Iconic head in ivory, I'm interested in checking this one out. The only downside is that the green channel isn't foot switchable, though I hardly ever need a straight up clean sound. I get plenty of gain on the green channel with overdrive at or around 3pm, or just a bit higher if the pickups are weaker, plus an EQ pedal when needed.

[@Essbbr]

Hey Ola , That's a beast Amp, but I personally remain by the JVM 410H . Meanwhile feel free to check our Teaser! Cheers Essabbar
