Evh 5150 III 15W LBX Top 4-stars Reviews

Great Sound, Versatile Amp, really loud though

The amp is surprisingly versatile. Great range of sounds, with lots of "spunk" and "bell-like" sound in lower gain settings. Easily handles anything from blues to Thrash Metal. My only gripe is the volume taper: The amp is extremely loud even with the volume dial on 0.1 so it's not really fit for apartment use, despite its watt rating. The truth is that if price were no issue, you could just go straight for the 50watt version. On the other hand, I've carried the amp with me for several rehearsals at multiple studios, and it has served me well, I had the sound I like available wherever I was, with minimal fuss.

metal machine!!

very nice amp.

worth the money.

i use it for practice at home with 2x12 v30 speakers.

i just test it and i was surprised from the sound and the quality.

pros:

very tight and high gain.

no need od at front as the most high gain amps.

blue channel is amazing.

red channel have tones of gain.

good low end for 15watt.

cons:

low features

cant play cleans

i recommended for all those need a practice amp with monster sound :)

useable bedroom and small gig amp

The sound of this amp is excellent at low to medium volumes... at very loud levels it starts to have a few problems (mainly from the EL84 in the power section. It will never have the thump of the 50W or 100W versions)

the blue channel is THE blue channel from the 100W, very nice and makes the amp worthwhile by its self. the red channel has more than enough gain for anybody!

the quality is good and the size is attractive, but the lack of a true clean channel and the cheap single button foot switch should be considered. not a deal breaker but something to think about.

if you just want a small amp for practice and don't need a clean channel however... I would recommend!
