5150III Stealth 100 is here…

[JerEvil]

and I was NOT feeling it at first!

I immediately went for modern tones on an EMG loaded 7 string. Hated it. Hated the mids characteristic of it.

Came back this morning with my Balaguer Evergreen loaded “Ace Special” LP and it’s fucking fantastic!

Way more gain than anyone needs. For the life of me I cannot see why anyone boosts this amp. Big Marshall bark at volume but still all the chuggy goodness “modern” I hoped for.

I’ve played all the 50 watt versions and been underwhelmed. Never bonded with the OG peavey’s either.

This guys gonna hang around I think.

I agree. Absurdly hot pickups + OD’s pretty much slam every bit of nuance out of a lot of these amps. It’s already an uber-gain amp.

Yeah I am keeping the green gain wide open as it makes the Blue channel fuller. 10:00 for blue and red gain! Lol!

More than enough for thrash and power metal, that’s for sure!

Are you using this for that Maiden thing I saw you posting about?

Nah man I am actually using the Fortin Cali. It CRUSHES for old Maiden tones.

I really got this as I am looking to finally break ground in the early summer on the casita which will be my home studio. That’s why I bought the drum kit as well so I can do full tracking.

No one will book you for metal if you have no 51510 of some sort.

I keep extra rags in the corner…

That’s dope AF man.
That set-up is MEAN.
What cabinet is that?
It’s not a “Wilsonite” is it?..HOLY LTFOL !
(-the triangle with the circle around it)-

You’ve got plenty of bangers hangin’ up there!
At your Maiden shows, flip the switch &
bust out some’of them Sum 41 “Fat Lip” chunkers
then back into “Run To The Hills”
-the drummer in Maiden is AMAZING &
funny as hell!!

Thanks man! The cab is made by V Boutique. Has Celestion Redback’s in it

We just had our second rehearsal today… Such fun music to play! I’ll be having a custom Dave Murray “strat” made relatively soon.

Not a very good stealth amp, if you know it’s there.

Congrats! Cool amps
