its confusing to me that this is EVH signature. whats even more confusing to me is that its fender. it would make sense if this was peavey. either way, this looks like a pretty good contender for the v3m
@PutItAway101 i wasnt trying to create debate or anything, i was just saying that it was confusing because 5150s have a huge reputation for metal, i hear about them for that more than for van halen or that style of music. its also confusing to me because while they are a high gain/metal type amp, fender owns them, which are predominantly known for their clean tones whereas it would make more sense if peavey still owned it since they are predominantly known for high gain. not trying to bash
@jmibelltone this amp is amazing mate, go out and play one for yourself or listen to a proper HQ mic'ed up demo of this amp before making judgements. listening to any amp through a crappy camera mic will never do it justice.
There's many amps out that are better, and far less expensive. You can get a V3 micro AND a 4X12 cabinet for the same price that the 5150III is supposed to sell for ($1000).
@WarmothGuitarist Agreed. That's what is sooo sick about the entire Carvin company. Where else can you get an american made, carved top, quilted maple top, mahogany neck and body for half the price of a PRS?
3:54 garbage. "You can hear all the notes" yeah thats doesn't make it sound any better I can't believe they couldn't get a better demo person for such a deserving amp
@joshkosh95 The new cd has been talked about for several months. They have been recording demos for a few months now and went in the studio over a week ago with David Lee. This will be the first CD recorded outside of 5150 since Diver Down. Eddie has even brought back some tunes from the late 70's and early 80's revising them. If they make the final song selection cut.
Check out Van Halen news desk daily and you can see updates as they happen.
@davidrobinsonmagic haha thanks for the info, Yeah I've been checking frequently for about 2 years haha. I just thought the information we previously received may have just been some strong rumours but this confirms it!
@sixxthunderbird John Shanks, we shall see how it turns out :S I'm cautious. Still I'll take anything new from Eddie and Alex besides this guy is known for keeping the sound, but refining it. Another positive is that he posted "I still believe in the power and thunder of big bass drum and big guitars". Thats done it for me though I was like this is going to be good! Modern but classic Van Halen!
That dudes looks like KFK!!!!

Channel 1 = Fender Twin Reverb; Channel 2 = Marshall Super Lead Plexi 50 watts with PPIMV Mods (Post Phase Inverter Master Volume); Channel 3 = Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier in a box. Nice collection to hard rockers.

SOUNDS LIKE SHIT ! Milk it some more for sure,but the old Marshall EVH
used will never be matched. Fender high gain has never sounded good. Jimmy
Page tried them for a while in the 90's...I am glad he got rid of them. Fender...stick to what you know best.

Hey Chris! No offence but next time ask Eddie if he has EVER used a mahogany neck! See shark guitar and others on google "Eddie Van Halen's Guitars".
