5150 III 50 W 6L6 Head Stealth : One of the best rock/metal amps

The EVH 5150 III was always going to be a 'humdinger' of an amp, but this one honestly is quite incredible if you play rock or metal. Having said that, in fact this amp can be used in nearly all styles, but the rock/metal is well suited.

The clean channel can be pristine if you need that with lots of headroom. The blue channel (or channel 2) can go from simple break up to high gain and more than some might want... but that red channel (Channel 3) for me is what makes this THE metal amp that you have got to try. It's quality too is exceptional. I reviewed this amp inside and out and the overall design, components and though have gone in to this guitar amp.

Sounds - oh there are so many tones - its a brilliant amp for shredders!

One thing though to bear in mind is that this amp has one of the highest gains in channel 3 (the red channel) that I have seen on any amp and while that's great, you might never crank the channel gain past about three or four!

I still have this amp and it is highly recommended - Fender did a great job and I scored this in my review at an (unsurprising) 10/10.

But it!
