James Brown's name doesn't get mentioned nearly enough in any 5150/EVH amp video. James brought Edward's vision to reality. There are entire metal sub-genres that owe their existence to the magic wrought by James and Edward.

@@lordcuddlebuttz3336 Am also Canadian. You'd be better off going with the 6505 Micro Head. The circuitry is the exact same of that which is used in the 5150 micro head. Adding to that, the 6505 has a power soak/attenuators that allows that amp to be switched from 20W to 5W, and 1W. It also has an XLR out on the back to record direct into an interface. They can be found for super cheap heaters and are a great alternative to a 5150.

Looks super cool! sounds great! Thanks for the review!

This is the first tube amp I ever got and I love it. It’s very versatile and built well. I use it a ton
Can I just say thank you for designing such an amazing guitar? I bought an A2.6 fr ln, hands down best guitar I’ve played. I used to be a snob and wouldn’t touch anything made in Indonesia but wow dude. Only thing better than a solar guitar is two solar guitars, gonna get one in pink next 👍🏻 I’d go for a pricier one but love the Floyd rose too much.

This is one killer sounding amp! I agree, the 5150 (along with, I'd argue, the Peavey 6505) has become standard for modern metal. The EL34's really give it another dimension. Oh, and the black/gold design would look sexy AF with my black/gold Les Paul
That Engl XXXL 4x12 cab is a fucking monster. Simply the best cabinet made !
Great tone man! 🤘🤘🤘

Personally channel 3 is my favorite, it sounds like a boosted blue channel.
Back when I was in high school (around 20 years ago) I decided to buy a Peavey 5150 instead of whatever Marshall tube amp was popular back then. It wasn't because I actually knew what I was looking for. It was because the one music store in my town back then had 5150's for $700 and the Marshalls were closer to $1,200 (or maybe even more). I love Marshalls and this isn't a debate on which brand is better. I've just had so many people drool over my 5150 and make me some halfway crazy offers on buying it that I know deep down that I made the right choice. Even if I didn't enjoy using it, it was a good investment.
I have the 6l6 one, ran through Jim Root orange cab. sounds massive, love the evh tone and them duncan solar pickups make it scream!

sick tone bro, tone made my morning.
Killer tone man!!
5150 has been and continues to be one of the best out there!!! Lolol I actually like the clean tone a lot IRL.
I remember when I first tried one of these at Guitar Center and I thought my ears went into my ass. This is superb for metal and hard rock. But tbh my main amp is a Jcm 800 reissue with the effects loop built in. Sweet cleans and can overdrive the hell out of it with a good Zvex super hard on
Sounds killer Ola. Brutal as fuk! Your playing is killer as usual. Thanks for all you do!
This amp is so good I wouldn't even care if there is something better out there. And if there is, it prolly costs more. Props to Ola. legend.

This is my favorite amp of all time. The low end shakes the house. Kinda boring clean channel, but if you turn the low down and the presence down, it's a bit easier to turn the gain up without it flubbing. But hey, blue and red channels are flawless 🤘

@@danielefontanella127 Trivium has used Peavey 5150s and EVH 5150s on every single album they have ever released So yes... All 5150s are good for the trivium sound. 5150s can do all metal genres as well as rock sounds as well. Personally I think my 6505+ does the classic rock/ softer rock better than the EVH 100S I own. The EVH sounds a bit more gained out at lower gain levels. Its kinda hard to describe.
Season in the abyss riff's like in the beginning of the video😍
That's a killer combination right there! \m/ Rowr!
Sick intro !
I stopped playing Peaveys the moment I first got to play through an EVH 5150 at rehearsal volume. The blue channel with the gain at around 10-11 o'clock with a boost out front, through a v30 cab... it's enough to make a grown man shed a tear. I had an original white tolex 5150 III, but I replaced it with the 6L6 "Stealth" head when they released that version. Best amp I've ever played. Never played the EL34 head here, but it sounds just as good honestly.
EVH heads are perfect. I have stealth 50w. My buddy has the el34 50w. My favorite amp ive ever owned and at one time I had an OG evh 5150.
