To me, the EL34's sound is a lot fuller and thicker. This is better for my taste. I was getting ready to buy the Stealth until I saw your video. Now, I will get the EL34 version. Thanks again.

Like you mentioned, I would like to hear these running with each amp's optimal settings. Going through one of your Hesu cabs. Thanks for the work Neil!

Great demo; I'll take both!

Definitely want a part 2!

Crazy how different they sound! Def prefer the stealth.

I like both amps, no questions ask. I have the 6L6 stealth version and would like to have the EL34, but after I get my Peavey Invective MH.

The el34 blue sounds best with a boost. The stealth sounds best on its own

Hi Neil - I would like to hear the heads through speakers. Gotta say I really didn't hear an appreciable difference. I run my 5150 III with the volume @ 2 o'clock and the gain @ 10:30. The tone stack about the same as your settings. Cheers!

I just got into the high gain amps and im not an expert and maybe i cant express myself as im not speaking my own language. They're both great amps, i've allways was more the Stealth type but lately i've been leaning more to the EL34 i don't know why, maybe it sounds more full with that growl after the mutting of the string in a palm mute The Stealth seems more tight, especialy in the palm mutes, it is more noticeable but also seems more fizzy or maybe you should increase the LOW a bit, at least in riff 1 In the boosted riff 1 the EL34 is perfect sounding, more full, there again the Stealth is more thin or something like that. Sorry if the terms i used are not the correct ones :) Recent subscriber Neil but i dig your channel, keep it up man \m/ Maybe a part 2 with some fast riffs or some lead playing would be sweet

nice demo Man, great comparison

Make part 2 with cabs, really awesome comparison!!

After playing my friends stealth 50 watt evh I decided to keep my el34. I did do the c137 mod to my evh to help with the woofy low end. Now it sounds fantastic with and without a boost.

I like them all my favorite is the 6l6 stealth 100 watt it's a beast

Timestamps: Blue Channel: Riff 1: 3:55 (EL34) 4:34 (6L6) Riff 2: 4:15 (EL34) 4:53 (6L6) Red Channel: Riff 1: 5:12 (EL34) 5:51 (6L6) Riff 2: 5:31 (EL34) 6:10 (6L6) Blue Boosted: Riff 1: 6:29 (EL34) 7:07 (6L6) Riff 2: 6:48 (EL34) 7:27 (6L6) Thank you for doing these amp comparisons btw

Definately like you going right after the major complaint and describing it well on the blue with the EL34. It appears it needs greenbacks and or a boost.

I prefer blue channel on the 6L6 and with the red channel is the opposite haha. I have a 6505+ at rehearsal's and my JVM410h, they are different beasts but the 6505 is drier and like a knife while my JVM410h is smoother, punchier and overall wider sounding. I love them both.

Stealth seems to sound almost the same on all channels and with or without boost. EL34 version has more hearable differences which seems more versatile to me and what I would want

I'd be interested in hearing the difference between the 6534 and the 5150III el34. I can't find a video of it though : (

🔥🔥🔥🔥

How does the clean channel compare on each? Ive only owned the stealth for a minute, and i enoyed that clean, but havent had a chance to try the El34 50w clean at all

hey man, I need your help! Yesterday had the opportunity to compare a LBX Stealth with the 50w EL34. For my suprise the RED chanel on the 50w EL34 was more tight and bold, while the LBXS was a bit harsh and spongy. Is it the same with the 50w Stealth vs the EL34, or are the RED chansels on the this amps similar? I cant hear much difference and what really bothers me is the feeling of the amp... (eq wise i can always make them sound as I like)! cheers!

Hey Neil which of these two amps had the bigger bottom end?? I’m a Mesa guy so I’m looking for the head that is closest to the bottom end like the Mark V or Rectifier

I thought I wanted a Evh stealth but I prefer a woofier tone for rhythm guitar.

I wonder how much the difference is between the 6l6 stealth and the regular 6l6

It would be interesting if you combined the two in stereo

If you load 6CA7s in the EL34 5150III (then do a rebias of course) it should sound closer to the 6L6 equipped Stealth because 6CA7 tubes sound much more like 6L6s than they do EL34s.

They need to make a 50wt Stealth combo

What pickups did you use to demo??? Great video, would love to know if the slight quality i'm hearing that isn't to my taste is from the pickups and not from the amp itself HAHA

I have yet to get my stealth that loud

Stealth has less bass.....(Bose headphones)....seems tighter too

I think the EL34 one sounds better here.

Should I buy the 50w or the 100w??

I prefer the el34 version.

But nothing still beats the fender twin with a brownie cmatmods distortion

I just bought the EVH 5150 iii el34 50w. And I'm not impressed. I've tried to like it but I just can't. My Marshall dsl40cr is by far a better amp. It sounds better and it has no unwanted noise. No need for a gate. When I buy an amp I shouldn't have to buy additional pedals just to make the amp sound good. Now how do I get rid of this amp without loosening any money?

For me the first amp was better

6:29 EL34 Blue channel boosted 7:07 Stealth Blue channel boosted

El34 sounded fuller to me

Middy as hell. I don't see what ppl. see in that sound myself but each to his own I guess.

ewww

Jesus christ is coming repent choose him today
