Thinking about selling the Stealth

[KingsXJJ]

Totally anecdotal, but you must be the dozenth person I've seen express negative sentiment about the EVH cabs along with the caveat that they sound much better when you replace the stock speakers. They may have hedged their bets in the wrong direction on their factory speaker choice.

I think their selection (likely to save $$ IMO but I don’t know for sure) was not the best. I find it telling that the 4x12 cab sticks with the EVH-GG (heritage 20w). From what I know about Eddie, that would have been his first affordable choice and perhaps he was convinced to compromise on the smaller units. Pure speculation though. Perhaps it had to do with power handling in some way too. I would have kept the 4x12’s as they are and put a CB65 in the smaller ones or have liked for Celestion to design an EVH-CB with 50-65 watt handling. Ideally, I’d really love to see a hybrid CB with the low end and thump of the CB-75’s with the sweet midrange and high end as the EVH-GB. Get them to handle 50w+ each and bam. Maybe the 50w Lynch model delivered this but they were out of production while I was playing Dexter in the lab again back when.

I was enamored with the high gain compression the first couple days, but now I'm completely bored with it.

I would!

My new theory about the 5150 being praised as a power section for the Fractal, is that once everyone gets bored with the built in sounds, they buy a Fractal and they use the 5150 because its what they have. 5150 boredom is causing people to buy a Fractal, but then they learn about other amps and that is where the chaos begins.
