The Hallmark of Soldano's has always been clarity and articulation. In a way they dont seem as high gain as they are because they are so clear and articulate. Nowhere to hide!

@gkniffen Жыл бұрын

That’s why most bedroom guitar players prefer EVH gear. You’re going to need to have your chops together to make that Soldano sing... but when you do, you’ll never be satisfied with the 5150s.

Both of these amps are great! The real difference is the sound in the room and the feel. I've owned several 5150s, 6505s etc but the Soldano literally had me giddy playing it. Not a bad tone to be had in that thing! Great comparison!

Many people think a 100 watt amp will be twice as loud as a 50 watt amp. That's not how it is though because an amp would need 10 X's the watts to double the volume(decibels). If you wanted an amp that was twice as loud as your 5 watt amp then you would need to buy a 50 watt amp. 50 watt amp would need a 500 watt, etc...

They both sound great. The EVH a bit more compressed. Most EVH players don’t necessarily live on the blue channel. The red channel with the gain dialed down a bit is terrific. Soldanos are awesome but I’d take the 5150.

i think i actually prefer the evh between these two, its just such a clearly defined amp even under ungodly amounts of gain, one thing that really helped the sound was switching a 12ax7 for a 12au7 in the red channel, really brought the gain to a more usable level (still never go above 9 o'clock on gain) also tamed some of the shrill frequencies on that channel i havnt used the blue channel since i did this switch, the red just slays it now, another tip for a great clean tone on it is to max the gain knob on the green channel and turn ur guitar volume down until its clean, gives a very deep rich fender type tone, much better than just dropping the amps gain knob with a few tweaks the evh holds its own against crazy expensive amps for hard rock/prog/metal/even blues

I tend to use B-4 M-4 T-6 P-8.5 V-4/5 and depth no higher than 2.5. With these settings I am in Van Halen 1 tone on the maxed out crunch channel and Unlawful Carnal Knowledge on the Lead Channel around 5-7.

EVH All Day Long!! I used to own an original SLO 100 and it was magical in so many ways. Today, they're super expensive and having played the new ones, IMO, not having those original transformers makes a huge difference. I recently bought an EVH 5150 III 50 watt Stealth head and matching 2x12 cab for less than the price of the SLO30. I love the foot switch, having three channels and being able to turn the loop on and off. Phillip is spot on about trying them out first, yet in today's crazy world, getting to a store with both might be challenging for some. Tone is so subjective, so either one of these can inspire you in ridiculous ways and in the end, it's all about the Music. Great video brother!!!

Soldano always biased the power tubes ice cold so that the power section did not interfere or color the preamp's tone too much. My 20 watt astroverb (based on SLO's crunch channel) can be used at whisper volume, but it comes alive above 4 on volume... probably because the speaker sounds better with a little bit of volume

The Soldano has a more defined frequency that stays with the gain on any level of volume… the 5150 sounds great but can get hairy and make things sound the same at any volume, losing definition even though it sounds great, where the Soldano shines is note bloom and clarity… it cuts through the mix at a faster rate.

@TheAxe4Ever 2 жыл бұрын

Maybe here in this video. But that doesn’t describe my EVH 5150 III 50 watt at all. Mine doesn’t sound the same at any volume at all. On the blue channel, when I get the volume cranked to rehearsal and gig levels, it’s much punchier, tighter and the notes bloom huge and goes into harmonic feedback nicely. I guess it’s all in how you dial it in. I see how Phil has it dialed in here and it’s no wonder it sounds way different than mine. I never use the red channel. That channel tends to sound the same at different volumes.

When switching from one amp to another do you put the amp not being used into standby or does the switch handle this issue on its own?

Both are fantastic amps and sound great. The soldano had more bass in this review when I was listening through headphones.

They both sound great. With the Volume and gain separated on the 1-2 channels( Green-Blue) I think is a game changer. I had the original 50 watt amp and returned it as I hated the shared volume and gain. I was never able to get the green and Blue channels setup how I wanted, each channel I wanted different gain and volume settings.

I honestly find these days so weird in what people want in amps. I remember back in the day sorta speak, people would crap on you if you ran high gain or lots of distortion. They would always say the people that play with tons of gain and distortion used it to cover their mistakes or to make up some lacking in there playing. I see the point of view, however, try running a high gain setup cleanly. What I mean is you need to control all that gain and that's a feat all its own. I run 3 amps simultaneously with usually an overdrive. 2 tube amps and a solid state. I honestly like that "Breathing " airy sound of the Solo. head. I do however want the EVH 5150 overdrive pedal for my setup lol. Great video, cheers!

As I've said before, human hearing is logarithmic. Hence vol pots are "audio taper", ie logarithmic. As a rule of thumb, a perceived doubling of volume requires 4-5 times the output. Thus a 50w amp will sound twice as loud as a 10w amp. There is no perceptible difference between a 30w and a 50w amp, all other things being equal.

What you're saying about how listening to a recording of an amp is not the same as playing it really resonates with me. I've always had that disconnect with Mesa Rectifier amps.

Yes, it can. It has two speaker outputs and you can select 4, 8, or 16 ohms for the total load. I think the speakers will be in parallel if you use both speaker outputs, so should the same result if you daisy chain the cabs or use both outputs.

It's very much worth mentioning that the resonance/presence knobs for, I believe, any of the Peavey or EVH 5150 style amps acts as an dampener, and therefore directly changes the responsiveness of the speakers. In other words, with the resonance/presence knobs at 50% the speakers are running at half of their full ability to vibrate the corresponding low/high (resonance/presence) tones. This is why you'll hear people talk about "Crazy 8's" because at 8/10 on those knobs, they're running with 80% reduced damping, giving a much more powerful low end and crisp high end. 80% gives headroom as well so the speakers aren't going buckwild. I mean the demonstration at 7:07 shows this clearly. Just listen to how much brighter the Soldano sounds, but look at how low the presence knob is on the EVH. Great comparison otherwise.

Well it seems you can get two EVH amps for the price of a Soldano and in that scenario you can get the EL34 and the 6L6 models. I love both amp sounds and just bought the EVH 50 watt head with 6L6 tubes for $849 new on a crazy sale, so will have to play with it for sure. The Soldano in this video seems to have a fuller sound, if you ask me, but the EVH sounds good as well.

While the 5150 is iconic, I ADORE the Soldano's tone. It just grunts and it's like going up against a heavyweight boxer but through the speakers. I'm effectively running a poor-man's Soldano currently with my KSR Vesta pedalboard based setup. The first time I heard one live I was absolutely FLOORED (literally, as I was in a mosh pit seeing Wild Throne.)

I've heard that the 5150 III 50W 6L6 heads are prone to problems. Has anyone had issues with theirs? Thanks!

Just imagine if I hadn't lost my Tom Scholz Rockman X100, still wanted to plug into it and had this same foot toggle. I always regretted that there didn't appear to be a bypass feature on the Rockman, meaning that integrating it into a rack system [appeared to be] prohibitive (without including enough hardware gadgets in your rig to make Scholz himself blush).
