I liked the 5150 III better. There was not a world of difference between the two (at least on the recording) and I think you could make the EVH sound even closer to the omega with a pedal or two. Also, I don't play über modern metal, so the evh probably caters more towards my preferences

Kyle THANK YOU for making this one in particular :) i had a stealth and actually went back to the reg 6l6 and did some preamp tube rolling and a GE7 in the loop. The EVH 6L6 once properly adjusted stands with the super expensive amps out there in my humble opinion but at 50-60% of price. !!

I use an EQ pedal in the loop of my EVH stealth to add more low end. Works like a charm. Granophyre sounds amazing here but I can say firsthand that the Stealth is a beast of an amp aswell. The MXR 10 band EQ in the loop just allows you to shape the sound however you want as the EQ on the EVH is somewhat limiting.

Awesome shootout. I was actually surprised by how close they were on the lower gain channels, but ultimately the Omega just killed it for me. It does indeed have its own thing going and is very "specialized". I think it's destined to become a modern classic and one of the most coveted amps for anyone who can afford one . It's incredible - Now I REALLY I want one ! Thanks so much for this, great job man.

The High Gain channel isn't really a "channel" from what i've read. It's either a built in boost or an extra gain stage (basically the same thing?). It'd almost make more sense IMHO to compare boosted blue channel on the 5150 to the unboosted Omega with the high gain switch on. Will update once I get my Granophyre in.

Man the Omega is a beast. Hadn’t seen any good quality videos on these amps. It’s modern and tight but fat and brutal and not as djenty as most modern high gain amps. Have you checked out the Dover DA-50? Was blown away by it. Similar territory but more of a British voicing.

I just got a 50 watt stealth and it's a beast. TBH the blue channel needs a boost in front of it but the red channel....OMG there's more gain on tap than any amp I've ever played. The red channel actually sounds better all on it's own without a boost. It's the only amp I've ever played where unboosted sounds better on the lead channel. If you put an 7 or 10 band EQ in the loop you can get the EVH to sound just like that Granophyre easily.

Cool.. You're kinda comparing a 50 watt and 100 what amp though. I see the red channel on the 5150 as an actual lead channel.. The compression makes it swell for leads. On the 5150, I also like the presence up half a notch. Don't forget the resonance control on the back too.

@@belligerentamateur another thing about the presence knob on the Stealth... It works a bit differently than the presence on my block letter... As do the eq controls overall. On the block, the presence and other controls affect the particular frequency more directly, where with the Stealth, the controls seem to morph other parts of the frequency race a bit. But yeah.. On that red channel, I see it used almost exclusively as a solo channel. The compression makes solos a bit liquid sounding. I've played more with that in the 100 watt though. Since I've gotten the 50s, I've been mostly on the blue channel.. I only really switch to the red channel when trying different pedals out to see if it sounds better. I'm mostly a rhythm player/songwriter, so the blue is the most useful to me. I'd almost be better off with a second blue channel with or without some very minor tweaks. The clean channel is vastly improved over the 100s, but it's still missing a little bit as far as being great for a pedal platform. Supposedly the REV amps work better for that.
