They sound pretty similar or at least similar enough, especially since most are going to run some sort of pedal in front of it to tighten it up and more than likely an equalizer in the effects loop. The EVH is almost half the cost so there’s that.

Same here..I own a Stealth 50 watt head and its my favorite amp of all time..I had an original 5150 head and sold it less than a year ago and really don't miss it as much now that the Stealth arrived..I loved my original 5150-3 50 watt head but it was very dry..not so with the Stealth..just badass ! I will say this,this Badlander does sound incredible,but I found out the hard way that a lot of repair shops won't touch Mesa Boogie amps,so if a persons thinking about buying any Mesa Boogie,make sure any repair shops that you use or are trying to find works on them or you will be shit out of luck. Great demo here for both amps..I had no idea the Badlander sounded like this.

Killer comparison. Both amps sound phenomenal, with the Badlander taking the slight edge for me, as it's just a bit more balanced, juicy, and punchy. I am a Mesa guy, and I suspected they were chasing the EVH 5153 sound with the TC and Badlander editions, and I say they nailed it, while retaining some of that Mesa signature roar. PS: I really enjoy your EQ'ing in your demos. A lot more similar to how I dial in amps than some other demos I watch. Good work!

@gkswift1999 Жыл бұрын
Right? I think biggest difference is the fact that the Mesa has a bit more harmonic overtones throughout the entire frequency spectrum, which helps to give it a bit more bark at any volume compared to the stealth. The stealth hands down has been one of the best sounding amplifiers with tons of versatility, and the badlander comes out and just literally by a "c" hair barely tops the stealth at its own game. Now I'm confused because I love 5150 amps from Peavey on up, and I've been dead set on the 5150 stealth, but now the badlander might be worth the extra money!

The thing that sold me on the Badlander was the built in CabClone and I can get it in a combo which is perfect for going to friend's house to jam and practice. Having a 3rd channel would be nice but I can see Mesa releasing an updated Badlander series with a 3rd channel 5yrs from now or so. Until then I rely on a few pedals.

I've always seen the Mesa MK and Recto amps as having a more refined and smoother distortion character (if that makes sense), but the Badlander is really gritty and raw for being a Mesa. Love it! The Stealth is amazing as usual. It can become a bit harsh with the wrong pickups or cab, but when dialed in correctly it can hold it's own against whatever amp you compare it to.

For what I play, I think the Badlander suits me better, but both are freaking stellar.

I think I just need more amps. 😁

It seems like the EVH is more focused in the upper mids, whereas the Mesa is more lower-mid focused, hence the extra “punch.” Sounds like they both can be made to sound very similar in gain structure and presence. EVH amps have way more gain and presence on tap than is usable anyway. I feel like the upper mids of the EVH would sit better in a band mix, but I could be wrong.

Great vid but doesn't help me decide which ONE to get as they both sound great lol! The EVH is half the price where i live tho so that may tip it but dang the badlander is worth the price tag.

Great demo I’m a fan of both brands but endorse EVH,at gigs sometimes I just can’t be arsed with pedals and just go straight in so EVH appeals to me,I’m gla someone else noticed similarities in the room between rectos and EVH Once in a studio I had the original 50 6l6 and a mark 25 Once we recorded we realised that the difference between 6l6 50 and mark 25 was so similar there was no point using both

I could definitely see that with the Mark, especially with all the EQ options! I've also noticed how similar most amps sound when recorded through the same guitar/canb and effects. It's kinda crazy. I' a huge EVH fan myself, but the Badlander is really taking me for a ride and I'm not mad about it! Thanks for stopping by dude, love your demos!

Badlander is real interesting. But still haven't seen any thorough lead tone demos of it yet.

Damn!!! I’ve been a mesa guy for a long while now. But I’ll definitely take the 5150 over the badlander. I love em both though. Great vid. Thanks man.

I'm looking at my stealth, the big tubes read groove tubes! Is that what comes stock? I swear they looked different last time I looked
@belligerentamateur 3 жыл бұрын
Fender usually uses groove tubes so that would sound right. The ones I've gotten had unlabeled tubes but they may have changed it

Great Amp Vs Amp my friend. I'm curious on how the 5150 EL34 variant stacks up against the modded JCM 800 sounds of the Splawn, Mesa Stiletto, etc. I'm eyeballing a Mesa Stiletto and was wondering if it was worth the purchase if you already have the 5150 III EL34 variant.
@belligerentamateur 3 жыл бұрын
The el34 5150 iii still sounds just like the others with minor differences. They definitely don't cover modded Marshall ground, so youre good to go on the stiletto or Splawn. (I say choose Splawn)
