My original release 5153 combo had an issue with auto channel changing....was weird. Would just switch channels on me. I had to get a tube socket fixed(my fault), and after that, somehow that problem went away. But, I only sold it cuz I moved across country. My latest combo with the...

Didn't realize nobody else posted on this. For $640 has a ton of gain. Seems like a quiet release. This guy bought one before the official release...kinda funny the yt influence committee didn't get vids...
White Lion mixes are kinda slim for 80's standard. I mean, not taking anything away from playing or writing, but I have BIG GAME on vinyl and it is a shit mix. I love Little Fighter and the whole record, but it's super shrill on the high end. Compared to Dokken "Under Lock and Key" or...
I had a VHT fatbottom 2x12. Love the design and portability of it. The P50 speakers not too much. It was tight. Paired with my Carvin Legacy head was cool. Tightened up that amp. If ya are leaning towards a front loaded cab, maybe check a Deizel FL cab. They either have V30s or K100 speakers...
I had a pair in my EVH 212 combo. Took them out after I bought a pair of greenbacks from Avatar Speakers. My first Gen Combo had greenbacks. New EVH combos have the Anniversaries. They were okay. More bass and sizzle. But not Eddie tones.
Interesting thing was my first gen combo had Chinese...
Not saying it’s better. Just different. Less mud, more presence. I’m not trying to sell ya on one, as I said, I like em for my KRK
V8 monitors more than for my amps. I’d argue though that it’s not a placebo. My buddy bought one after trying mine on his rig for a day. I should make a clip of my...
Never tried one? They are killer in my studio monitors. I actually bought them initially for my amps, as they make everything more clear, tighter/brighter, but ended up using them for my Studio Monitors.
I saw this video yesterday and in all fairness, I didn't grab my headphones. Just listened through my iphone. Agree with most above statements. They can sound really close. I'd still choose the BE for versatility and channel switching. You could probably just throw a Mercury Magnetics power...
My buddy has a 8ohm single cab with a creamback Alnico. It sounds like this. He had his EVH 50w 6L6 hooked up to it. Mind you, I have the EVH 50w Combo with Greenbacks...It was so different. His was way tighter and brighter. Wasn't bad at all, just very present.
A lot of people think Bob Rock got his tones on 87 and BM albums. Story is Sykes called in Bob to get his guitar tones on BM cuz he wasn't working on the project yet, but JS wanted his 87 tones to tape. True, but you can clearly hear he had those tones live.
Yup...I actually ran my QR with only 2 in the middle slots(Scott said that was fine). They were spendy...I think I paid $150 for the pair at the time. It was still plenty loud.
