the 50w is the best amp for gigging period. if you don't plan to move it or have roadies get the 100w.
 
Clip sounds killer and perfect for your style :satanI'm gigging the Stealth tonight for the first time :nails

Best of luck, JT! I trust you'll chime in this weekend with a plethora of updates. :beer

I am sitting here going, "I bet a 5150III 5o watt EL34'er would be perfect for powering the FM3." :love


:LOL:

The shared insanity here is.... well..... insane! :rofl
 
So did you have one and sell it, @Orvillain ? Want to reacquire? :idk
I've owned two of the OG 50-watters in the past!! But yeah, I really fancy another when I listen to my old clips of it. For me it isn't an amp I'd use live, not unless I got the one with the dual concentric pots to control the green and blue channels separately.

That is my only experience with the 5150 III series. My LBXII had the concentric pots and so does my EL34 50w. My one complaint (and this has been true on every 5150 III I have tried) is the pots themselves have almost zero resistance to them. The other day I farted near the amp and the gain knob moved 2 notches.

No joke. I thought something was wrong with the Stealth when I twisted the blue channel knob :hmm
 
Peavey 5150’s>EVH 5150’s.

I dig the EVH’s a lot too, especially the 6L6 Stealth and EL34 version. But the OG 5150/6505 is best, followed by the II/6505+ for my taste

I always tried to make both OG versions work for me but I always hated them in my hands. Always confused me because I love the millions of live and recorded metal tones I’ve heard from others with them lol

On the other hand, 5153 is essentially the perfect metal amp for me
