  • In this new behind-the-scenes exclusive video, Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Jason Hook dishes on his EVH 5150III®S 100-Watt EL34 head, the mods he made to his setup and how his EVH helps him deliver monster, over-the-top tone.
    “My [guitar] tech and I went out and we got our hands on one of everybody’s head, every manufacturer sent us a head and we did a shootout,” says Hook in the clip. “And it turned out the EVH 5150IIIS was the best, I thought. Just an amazing, chunky, rich-sounding amp. It has all the desirable harmonics and tight low end with great clarity. It simply won out amongst all the other amps we tried.”

    “Wet, dry, wet” setup. Dear lord I didn’t realize there was so much involved with touring rigs. I’d like to know what all those things do that are next to the amp.

      its for on stage purposes mostly. when you're at the concert you're most likely hearing a mix through the PA so you wouldn't even notice.

      It's not that complicating actually, i toured with w/d/w rig last year and it's awesome. I use my EVH 50w and 3 cabs The middle cab being the plain distortion cab and then i use Lexicon rackmount detune and split the effected signal with Duncan stereo poweramp to the left and right cab.

      A lot of that is just rack gear that handles the performance aspect of the rig rather then things that directly affect tone.
      Most likely guitar wireless system, some sort of rack loop switch to turn on and off certain sounds from a master controller, a master switch for the different amps or to be able to switch to backup amps in case of amp failure, power conditioner to ensure proper voltage, and a transmitter that sends a signal to the in ear monitors for the band to have the live mix in their ears.

    …..and that's coming from a man that spits out absolutely brutal, pulverizing tone! Not surprised EVH won. I just finally received the new 6L6 212 combo not long ago and am thoroughly delighted with it. It's almost as big as a 4x12 lol! I'm not anywhere near the caliber of player Jason or Eddie are but I love all thigs EVH and it's only a matter of time before I get this head (50W version). Cheers!

      I have a 5150iii combo as well and I'm contemplating having it modded to EL34s and having a clean mod done as well as an independent volume/gain for my clean channel.

    • @JanPatrickLucas
      @JanPatrickLucas 5 лет назад +2

      Wood Booger - You may miss the 6L6's? I do like EL34's for more vintage laid back British crunch, but for aggressive playing and pure EVH tone I still prefer the 6L6's most of the time. It's all in good fun though, brother. Whatever works best and keeps you inspired.

      @@JanPatrickLucas I play more classic rock than heavy stuff. I live on the blue channel. I had a JCM900 with EL34s before the EVH. I love my EVH more though, it sounds great, I have always wondered what EL34s would sound like in it though.

    Would be awesome to hear a comparison since newbs like me don't know the difference but can appreciate after hearing. Love seeing these types of vid's of amazing musicians explaining things, we mostly only hear stuff that's been produced in a studio, fine-tuned and under perfect conditions. Yet musicians can play just as amazing live.
