EVH 5150 III: Stealth and Deadly!
The 5150 III is on the list of many players all-time great amps. It's got 3 channels, a soaring mid-range, killer clean tones, and enough gain to blaze through the most exreme metal imaginable. It's already one of the best amps of all time but this is Chaos Tones! So This particular 5150 III had to be taken up a notch! Actually, it was taken up multiple notches!
First it was outfitted with stealth controls by the best amp modder in the Los Angeles area. Stealth Knobs are a standard feature, but not on this model. That mod is a hand wired 1:1 against the usual stealth. Then it was given a variac, per-channel voicing options, and an additional gain stage! This is an awesome amp, that has a really incredible character, and it's exciting to share some of those here! Enjoy!
