High Gain Comparison: Soldano - EVH - Peavey WATCH IN HD!!

Here's a little clip of those three amps.
The settings were almost identical on all three amps (it might look a bit different on the Soldano, but those go to eleven, "6" is what's "5" on the other amps, "11" is what'd be "10", the pots are built in slightly rotated clockwise compared to the other amps...so I adjusted the settings on the soldano to match the settings one the other amps...I was using the same settings on all three amps (well, bass and treble was a tiny bit higher on the 5153..by accident).
EXCEPTION: the gain and volume knobs were adjusted to have approximately the same amount of gain and volume on all three amps.
As you can hear they all sound fairly similar, the 5150 and 5150III sound almost identical in this clip.
The Soldano seems to have smoother and thicker mids and less high end fizz than the other two amps

The Audio in this clip switches between the amps as you see the video switch between the pictures of the amps

OF COURSE this is not the best possible tone from the Soldano (how could it be without setting the amp up for a good tone), but it was not the goal of this clip to show how awesome this amp is)

What MIC's did you use for recording this ?

[LasseLammert]

@Markus1886 check the description, should be in there.

If not, I'm not sure, but I'd say it's probably an sm57

I honestly can't hear any differece between the EVH and Peavey. But the Soldano sounds a lot different the both 5150's. I like the 5153 here, though.

EVH sounds grungier, Peavey sounds almost the same as EVH... The Soldano sounds like heaven.

[klblackstar]

That first riff is amazing..The soldano sounds the best here, but you gotta pay for it. For anyone on some sort of a budget, the new 50 watt EVH 5150 iii or the peavey 5150/6505 is awesome!

[AssembledWithHatred]

First riff is killer man. Obviously your going to get what you pay for, Soldano takes it. I'm pretty content with my 6505+ considering the price difference.

[jhs5150]

@07989074102 Check w/your EVH dealer. There was a recall on them for something but I don't remember what. Maybe that's why your fuses are blowing.

[5150RDH]

They all sound awesome! Yet, they also sound sooo similar, that the lower-priced Peavey 5150 (6505) would be the clear winner by far in my opinion if it came down to amp shopping!!

[NOWNVR]

For the $ the peavey's still Kick ass IMHO!
