Yep get them and have some fun. I love stereo setups and must confess I have two PV 5150 combo amps running stereo and they sound ridiculous when turned up.
Ive not been this excited in a long time for a new music release. Joe is one of the last few to play and sound like he does. Not to mention the Randy Rhoads connection which I hear in some of his playing and the delayed sounds. Also his use of old Marshalls, Les Pauls and Strats is cool to me.
Use some Flux on it. Use a little flux on everything when you solder it helps alot. You may need to clean the residue with some Q-tips and alcohol afterwards.
I to am curious to see who will top that story. I did have a strange audition yrs ago. This band needs a second guitarist so I journey about an hr from were I live. It was at a junkyard and there is a house in the middle of it. Its already dark by the time I get there. Yep its a creepy old place...
Ive got a Metro-Plex and a four holer JCM 800 50 watt Marshall that was modded by Rockstah. The Metro-Plex just sounds better and has more variety. I like them both but if I had to sell one it would be the Marshall.
I have two PV 5150 combo amps in stereo and they are very inspiring and can get LOUD. The trick with these is to use a BBE sonic maximizer. Also own the original PV 5150 100 watt head and a early version of the 100 watt EVH lll head with a blue channel mod. Must say the combo amps are my favorite.
If your taking the strings off for the Floyd maybe paint while your at it. A Japanese rising sun would look nice on a LP. Like Demartini had on his Charvel.
George does build some great amps. I own a Metro Plex and it is by far the best sounding amp I have owned. If you can swing it I highly recommend buying a Metropoulos.
