Re: EVH Limited Edition
I feel so sorry for fanboys...it never ends. This is Communism in the guise of marketing.
![]() It looks good though. I like the red badges.

Re: EVH Limited Edition
I'm not a Van Halen fanatic, I just like the looks of it. I played on a EVH head a few times when they first came out and thought it was a nice sounding amp. However, I thought it was a little pricey for it being made in Mexico? They were 2K when they first came out.

Re: EVH Limited Edition
Sorry, I think it looks cheap. The graphic was cool when it was original but now it is being applied to guitars, pedals amps. I am surprised the grillcloth is not displaying the graphic. Just my $.02

Re: EVH Limited Edition
Would go well with Raine's 'Black Widow' Les Paul.

Re: EVH Limited Edition
I'd like it if they just made the grille plain black. The red logo looks snazzy.
![]() With that said, though. These amps stomp all over the old 5150/6505's in every aspect. Better clean channel, separate crunch channel, split EQs, and tighter, less fizzy gain.

Re: EVH Limited Edition
Id rather have a Peavy that was made right here in the USA... Charging the same as a Mesa for junk made in Mexico is an insult to me as a consumer and a guitarist.

Re: EVH Limited Edition
Call me crazy, but I'd honestly buy the EVH over the Peavey. I never jelled with the 5150/6505, but the 5153 is a VAST improvement, IMO. Worth the cash to me.

Re: EVH Limited Edition
Too many knobs.... Why ? Was'nt Eddie was a plexi guy...Why did he want to complicate things with that design...The amp looks good...but I never tried one...Too many knobs for me...I would be too busy turning them instead of playing my guitar...

It is a three channel amp. It has independant controls for each one. They do sound nice but, they're expensive for being MIM. I've never really looked, but, I wonder how much a used one is? |

![]() And honestly, most of the knobs are just controls for each channel. Each channel has your standard B/M/T, gain, and volume control. The other 3 knobs are just a presence control for each channel. It may look more complicated, but in actuality, this thing is probably a LOT more easy to dial in compared to amps like the Dual Rectifier or the TSL. If you can dial a Plexi, you can dial an amp like this. A big picture just to show what I'm talking about... ![]() This, or you can get the 50W mini version brand new for $1000. It does lack some features the 100W version has, though.

Re: EVH Limited Edition
I like it as a "collector" to have in an EVH collection, it'd be perfect. I think they did a great job on the head - probably wasn't easy for a large piece.
Since I love the "Marshall" sound I would only gig with those heads. Too bad Marshall and EVH didn't get together before Peavey jumped in. I think that would have been a pefect match all the way around!! |

So I just set everything at 12 o'clock except the MV and bam! I was playing and not even messing with the tone controls, just a little messing with the gain and volume. These amps sound good and IMO and experience the 50w sounds even better. |
