Evh's sound is forever ours, he did so much for guitar tone... RIP to the legend...

Wow! You did this vid 4 days before the legends passing...I was deeply saddened yesterday when I heard the news. I couldn’t sleep well and I woke up early this morning thinking about EVH. Wasn’t the hugest fan or anything but definitely recognizeD the amazing guitarist and the innovations and influence he brought on into this guitar community and people who just enjoy hearing and all things guitar. I have owned many amps in my day boogies, framus, 5150s etc and man oh man do I wish I still had those 5150s just for memories sake. Rest easy EVH and thanks for everything guitar. Rest in Paradise...1955-2020

Great review man, really nice shots and angles. The riff in the mixed playthrough was killer 👌🏻

This is sweet! I have the LBXII and I love it. I can agree on the aggressive gain taper on the blue channel on the LBXII. That’s why I replaced the 12ax7 preamp tube to a 5751. The gain is usable and not “fizzy”. But I’m glad this new stealth series fixes that issue, and the bias adjustment at the back is handy!

Upon my purchasing of this head today I’ve discovered that it addresses all the beefs I had with the first 2 LBX’s. Fluff mentions the gain taper is better but the VOLUME taper on the red channel is better even more so. You aren’t going deaf at 9 o’clock on the volume knob anymore. Nice work EVH, RIP Eddie....

I have the 100w evh stealth... I am impressed the tone of this lunch box is very good and pretty close to the full size head.

I was looking at getting the 50 watt Stealth and I saw this ! My original 6L6 head sounds amazing and figured I would get the Stealth 50 watter so I can get any sound I needed..looks like I will get both,the 50 watter and this 15 watter..I had the original LBX and it was a damn good sounding amp..sold it to go bigger..I was looking at the Invective MH 20 watt head but changed my mind. Your videos always sound amazing,and so glad I saw this video !

Man, this sounds incredible. Bet it would make an awesome recording tool.

Just got one of these puppies. It's my first time graduating from my line six days. The tone and level of control this little guy offers is astounding for the price. Great showcase, Fluff!

I'd make sure you're equipped the the appropriate spaekers and pedals before you buy this. I thought the bottom end was weakish and lacked a bit in the tightness. What you get out of this amp is what you do with your fingers. Technique is key. Honestly i was not fully prepared for this amp but i am now and my experience would probably be different.

Yes looks and sounds awesome!

I just bought this amp today! First video I checked out cheers 🤘

CRATE 1997 Saw a little small Crate Head in my local music store. Picked ip up & was amazed how light it was. It was roughly half the size of a big Tube head. Tried it out,couldnt believe I could get that good thrash metal sound with no pedals. so I bought it, Used it all the time until I sold it 2019 & it still had no scratchy pots no issues at all.

you know I don't listen to bands anymore l listen to people like the bearded man above. I'm amazed at how good these people are!

I watched this when you released it wanted it then, now since his passing its a must have once I get the money for it.

Rip eddie you'll be forever remembered!!!Was just watching this yesterday then today he's dead.No!!!!

Also, the amp sounds SO killer!

Appreciate the mix. So many reviews leave the mix out.

You make that amp sound great, but dem riffs doh! 🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Love your videos!!! Thanks and keep up the great work!!

The revv g20 is the better for recording. Great clean, 3 different gain tones and built in irs and 2 notes. Also can run at 20w or 4w for bedroom level tones. I had the lbx 2 and it was way too loud for my condo. Even on the 3.5w mode

This is a direct competitor to the PRS MT15. The LEDS and stripes design on this look great, better in person than in this video. The PRS has the advantage of the 6l6 power tubes which means it will probably get louder before losing tone (I don’t know, I don’t go that loud) and has a separate EQ for the clean. I would give the win to the MT15 except that I personally prefer the tone of the EVH over It. That, of course, is my preference and yours may vary but if you try either one of them and don’t like it try the other one because I’m sure somewhere between the two you’ll find what your looking for if you want a high gain amp.

I finally ordered one the other day, it should be arriving tomorrow! I can’t fucking wait to plug this thing in.

You know what'd be really awesome in lunchbox amps? XLR Line out with no CAB SIM, no frequency compensation. Just an XLR line out, give it to me. With almost 8 billion people on the planet, chances are that one might have neighbors living too close. Living in 2020, chances are that a significant amount of guitar players have already at least one audio interface at home, know what an IR is or even have a collection of favorites. I don't need any clunky internal IR loader via USB, just raises the costs, converts an analogue signal to be digital and analogue again, so that a recording interface can then digitize it again... Put an internal load inside, please, dear Amp Manufacturers, and give us that damn unaltered signal after the power stage, attenuated to be record ready, we know what to do with it.

Back with my impression: I WILL NEVER PLAY ANOTHER AMP. This thing is everything I ever wanted in an amp. I could not be happier! It’s inspiring to plug into! LOVE MY EVH!

this sounds even better than your 50 watt demo

What I love about Eddie is that he was not privileged. His father washed dishes when he couldn’t find gigs. Eddie got bullied as a child since he didn’t speak the language well at first. His brown sound was born out of his lack of understanding of UK 220v vs US110v but you know the story. I’m buying one of these amps and a 2x12 to sit it on top of. Then I’m gonna plug that 1993 Mexican strat that never play into it snd see what comes out. RIP EVH.

Sounds like an amp I could spend a long time playing

Hey Fluff...how you holding up through all this crap?... Love ya man, stay strong and keep punching up.

I wonder if the bias of the Stealth was just set lower when compared to the other LBX’s… which could give you a perception of more headroom… and was less of an issue of circuit changes?

Not factoring in the two notes embedded, how does this lbx-s compare to the revv g20? Really enjoyed the vid.

It's sick that it turns red on the high gain channel

I have one of these and I'm considering either another one to run in stereo, which I think would be awesome, or buying the 50 watt version. This may be a stupid question but would two of these be close volume wise to the 50 watt?

god this sounds so good.

Oh very very nice!!!

Great video. What pedals did you have before the amp?

Looks wise it reminds me of the PRS MT15

Fluff, this demo convinced me to sell my PRS MT-15 and get this head. Absolutely no regrets. Sure, it may not be as loud as the PRS but I sure like the tone better and the lack of noise in the fx loop makes it a better buy to me. It's an incredible piece of gear.
