Trying out the new EVH 5150 Iconic Combo. WILL IT CHUG?
Also I will release a video of me changing the speaker of the combo tomorrow. It will be up on my second channel:
ruclips.net/user/OlaEnglund2
Merry Christmas Ola
🤘🤘
always love your video reviews Ola, so thank you for those. Can you please do a demo on the Wangs HD15 or HD30 head? Seems to have so much potential, but the reviews done have been, quite frankly, shit lol. We need a mother fugger chugger like YOU Ola. This is my Christmas wish for the new year :D
I love the shirt Ola and how my Solar 1.6 BLB sounds after I installed Fishmans!! Duncans sounded good don't get me wrong, Fishmans are unmatched!
Thanks Ola. I think I'll get the head over the combo. 40 watts would have been nice. Can you try plugging the combo into a cabinet? Love your channel and Pix rocks
That background is so black it’s almost white again 😱
Haha 😂 world record chug on the clean 😱
Great demo, @ola englund! One thing about the noise gate is that it's mostly removing hiss from the amp, BUT it's tough for it to remove all the guitar hum pickup when the guitar is that close to the power transformer end. If you were standing further out, you'd find it to work better. But again, thanks for a thorough CHUG!
Absolutely fair point!
James Brown, the legend himself! Thanks for your contributions to music.
I thought No Way Home was a big crossover, but the legendary amp builder and the legendary chug builder in the same video is pretty tough to beat.
@@thetribalist6923 Thanks and YW
Thanks James !!🤘🇨🇦
James it it possible to get parts for my Amptweaker pedals? Thanks
Big Man ola coming through with the new amps
Clean channels outrageous 🤣🤣🤯
I just picked this thing up from Guitar Center today and I can't believe how cheap this thing is for how good it is! The 5150 was my old dream amp, being able to have an improved version of it for so cheap is just a dream come true
It almost seems as if anything with "Iconic" on it from EVH is guaranteed to be badass...IMO. These are great rigs at great prices. EVH has done it again. Thank you for the demo and all the great content you give to us. Merry Christmas to you and your family Ola. Cheers from Texas.
That first channel tone on the 5150 is music to my ears. What a sound. I'm in love.
@Zombie Frogg It’s from Eddie, of course it’s gonna be awesome!!! XD
Hell yeah from Texas here too.
"It chugs on the clean channel. Hello, that means something."
-Ola Englund, regarding the EVH 5150
This sounds better than all the other stack demos for sure.
This thing sounds amazing, and for what it is some kid is going to get one of these for a not too bad price and be in heaven. I’m excited for the younger players that get their hands on these.
Younger kids wont know what it’s like to only have a shitty $50 fender amp or a crate amp if we keep getting all these badass amps hahaha
@@WardGuitarCabinets fr
@@WardGuitarCabinets The price is not that cheap for Kids to step in. Maybe second hand.
How privileged are you that you think this is just a “not bad” price for a kid beginner to get xD jeez
@@WardGuitarCabinets I remember I started out playing guitar in ‘96. My dad got me a strat pack with a crappy strat and one of those crappy little fender amps. He told me if he saw that I was going to stick with it, we’ll look at getting something a bit better. I stuck with it and then the spring/summer/fall of ‘97, I started mowing peoples grass for 40 bucks here, 20 to 30 there, and eventually was able to get a Peavey 5150 212 combo. I was so excited. Then got a Korean made fender strat with a humbucker and a Floyd and was in heaven! Still have that amp to this day and it’s still working and sounding as good as the day I bought it. Very reliable. All I’ve had to do to it is change the tubes when needed and replace a fuse that went out. Not bad for a 25 year old amp. But yeah, those little fender amps back in the day were horrible!!
I’m excited to get one of these for myself. But I think it’s very important to the future guitarist to know and who EVH was, and his contributions to the rock world.
EVH’s genius has to live on. Long live The King
With all due respect, it is of no importance whatsoever to future guitarists using this amp to chug. EVH is a legendary shredder but the majority of people buying these amps are playing a completely different style
@@koomi2905 don’t think that’s what he’s trying to say dude lol. They’re not talking about the amp whatsoever just that every guitarist should take the time to learn what Eddie did for music if they haven’t already.
All the metal bros complaining "nobody has showed it chugging, it sounds so bad" are falling all over themselves now to find a new excuse. This amp sounds amazing, the hate is so insanely overblown.
The cool part of the design is that the green channel does lower, vintage EVH brown-type tones, and remains tight with the gain up.
10:05 Seed Of Filth! Such a MONSTER riff! 🤘😝🎸 Amp sounds great too!
Whoa, Rob sighting!
It’s such a banger man!
Small world 😂.
I was just watching your m1000 vs m1000 video just before this.
Great stuff.
Like Petrucci’s preference for testing amps with the main riff from Pull Me Under, I can tell you love that Haunted / Trespass riff at 2:50 as it’s made a few appearances over your vids through the years!
I want to know how to play it but I cant get it right 😫
loving the levels of gain in this amp! super powerful sound! looking forward to the half-stack demo for full volume power!
Ive always loved the convenience of a bad ass combo. This, seems like a good option for that brownish sound in a portable club gig package. Sounds good to me… 🤘🏽
The brown sound was referring to Alex's drums. It's always been about that. Search brown sound and I'm sure you'll see. People just took that and went with it, thinking he was talking about the guitar. It has absolutely nothing to do with the guitar
@@Jupiter2ignite and still everyone calls it the brown sound.
@@lordsoup4287 🤦🏼♂️ and that's the problem with people. Even when presented with irrefutable evidence, they'll still deny it. People just can't face the fact that they've been chasing something that doesn't even exist. They're feelings get hurt.
It's fine. People are allowed to believe whatever they want.
@@Jupiter2ignite
LOL Why would anyone use thar term to describe a drum sound? Next you're going to say that Eric Clayton's famous "Woman tone" was a referring to Ginger Baker's drum sound.
@@dowens3781 xInterestingly enough, Van Halen said that when he referred to the brown sound, he actually meant his brother Alex's drumming. “That's funny, because people took that whole 'brown sound' thing totally out of context,” he said. “I was never talking about my guitar tone. ... It was Alex's.”Jun 22, 2015"
You can literally look this shit up yourself. Use a little common sense
This seems to be a really solid combo amp. I’m gonna keep my eye on this one
I think it sounds great. It fills a spot in their lineup for sure.
Ola's reaction to the overdrive sound was the same as mine when I first heard the tones from this amp.
So magnific.
Can't go wrong with these. I have the 40W and it's a Pissed hornets nest.
Dude! You are the man! You just proved how awesome you are at dialing an amp in! This amp kicks ass for a 1x12!
Every time I go to a guitar store, this is my go to amp. Super tight, more gain than I know what to do with, resonance kicks you in the chest and they’re the same price as a DSL40
I don’t know what to go with the dsl40cr or one of these?!
Wow ola,everytime i watch your videos man you transmit that energy and courage for me to pick back up and built back my rig as for my 12 years of abscense from shredding and chuggin,you rock man.
Hey Ola.
Happy holidays and that new chug room looks perfect. Love it.
I've probably said it before but,I love the crunch and your tone,freaking eargasm,merry christmas to you and your family.
Sounds like a very impressive combo!!
So far I'm not super impressed by the head reviews but this is the best combo review, might be one of the chuggiest combo amps I've heard. I normally hate all combo amps but for the money this is nice. Toodles.
And hey, Eddie merchandise. ;)
Great demo! I'm sold! This will be my new practice/travel amp.
Ola! Love The Haunted riffs in this one... you need to play more of them when testing amps!
This amp sounds great! I saw Fluff's demo and wanted to hear some Ola Chugs on this iconic amp. Definitely something I might consider, ya never know!! not a bad piece of gear for the price.
Awesome video! Entertaining AND informative ‼️. Always inspired by Ola’s demos!
Thanks to this video I bought this amp and love it, I really wanted an orange rocker 15 but no where had it in stock nearby where I could play one and needed up getting this amp in white as a bstock demo with nicks in the vinyl for a damn good price! Thanks Ola!
Love the will it Chug segments ! 🤘🤘
Sounds much better than I expected. Definitely chugs!
Surprising results. Who would have expected a 5150 to chug?
If he can get an Epiphone Valve Standard to chug, I'd be impressed
😂😂😂
Eddie.
Peavey has some downright brutal amps for so little money
@@madmod If you are talking about this amp and the rest of the Iconic lineup they are made for the EVH brand..a division of Fender/FMC if I am not mistaken..not Peavey anymore or in quite a while.
I lost my hearing 20 years ago and I don't regret. It comes with the atmosphere you play in.
been waiting for one of these amps for a while I can't wait to get my hands on one sounds great!
This was the video I needed to help me decide between 5150 and a Boss Nextone. Thanks!
So glad I found your channel! My son and I messed with this amp whenever we went to Guitar Center, but never got to crank it to realize its potential. After hearing your review and many others, it was a no-brainer. My son is currently trying to make it CHUG, as I type, using your settings. Thanks again! 🤘
This combo sounds brutal. Ola the tone master. Again, you could make a foot stool chug!!
Dude you are by far the coolest! I seen what u did for SMR! You are true brother in arms bro 😎
I'll be buying one and throwing a Creamback in it..thanks for the segment..you sold me on the combo..seriously any amp James Brown has been associated with has never disappointed..man knows his stuff
Try the Avatar-Fane M65 instead. It's like a Creamback that sounds better than a Creamback.
I enjoy every video I watch man. Very cool stuff ! Subscribed ...
Man that thing sounds great and looks amazing
Merry Christmas 🎄 Ola and family !!!!
🤘🤘
I have an original 212 combo 5150. What a great amp ! My favorite purchase.
YES, OLA RETURNS TO HIS MYTHICAL AMP REVIEWS i bet it will chug.
It doesn't chug sadly :(
I’ve had my Iconic for 3 days and this amp is amazing! I’m not trying to dial it in to sound like Eddie. The amp is very versatile and there no need to dial in a lot of gain to get a great lead sound on channel 2. I use a beautiful clean sound on channel 1. The boost works fabulous! I run a line out of the preamp out to a Boss ME70 into a JCM900 into Orange cabs. That way all my effects have a volume pedal so I can blend in modulation/delay effects into the Marshall while keeping the Iconic rock solid with a little bit of reverb. I love the reverb on the Iconic!
Anyway, create your own sound with this amp, don’t try to make it sound predictable.
The Iconic amp gives you everything you need to blaze into future guitar sounds…
I’m definitely gonna get one of these! Love the tone
Ok this is fantastic. I've been window shopping for a good amp that wasn't $5000 that could play metal and this really helped. Good price, good sound, good volume.
@Tollonis nah I haven't bought any big music gear in a while. Saving for a car currently
Yeah that combo sounds better than the head. Way more chug indeed. Sounds way thicker too. Great demo!! 👍
OLA... you BEAST! Love it man.. come on... you were stalling... you knew it would chug in seconds... but did you know it would burn 🔥when it chugged?!?! 🔥 🎸😎🤘
Good job Ola. Merry Christmas bro
I bought this amp after seeing this video and a few others. Great amp for the price. I can do anything with this amp that requires dirt and it works well for both home practice and gigs. I love the green channel the most. It’s got good mids… and the boost feature (also on the foot switch) kicks it up nice for solos. Channel 2 is a bit saturated for me after the halfway point and I’m not into the ‘burn’ feature for similar reasons. The effects loop gave me more hiss than I hoped for but it’s not a dealbreaker. Reverb isn’t very good IMO. I always wanted a Peavey bold font 5150 amp or a Soldano Hot Rod 100. This is the closest thing to those I’ve found in a combo. If you’re looking for a combo capable of killer overdrive and super leads, this is an excellent choice. I can do light rock/blues all the way to Killswitch Engage stuff.
Ok… full gain. Loved this brotha 🤙
Awesome demo, ola. 😎🎸🤘🏻This evh guitar combo sounds killer. If you ask me, it definitely chug. I wonder if the james brown who created the evh amp is also the same James brown who created amptweaker pedals. Anywho, merry Metal Christmas. 🎄🎁😎🤘🏻🎸
Haha, awesome series man! Grymt! 🤘
Thanks for playing a riff from my favorite album! (Trespass)
I like this black and white void you're shooting in!
I bought one several months ago from zZounds Music. It's a beast. Sounds like a Marshall and you can get a bunch of tones from it, and it's tight from bottom to top with awesome separation and definition. Worth the money, every penny of it.
I’m currently shopping around for an amp, this is my first time hearing this amp and I have to say this is top 2 for sure.
Nice job Ola! I have that same guitar too so bonus video for me.
Man this amp is something. The man knew a thing or two about amps.
Personal note: was gonna buy this but I honestly couldn’t wait for it to come out so I just got the BOssMK2 head with a Marshall cab back in October and I feel really happy with it. But this is pretty good for budget
I love that orange guitar so much, so sick!
I love how cinematic this episode is. Great video dude! Yeahhhhhh it chugs
Your channel makes me so happy
I would love to hear you do a super clean experiment with it. Someone said it doesn’t have a good clean chime.
This little monsta sounds so wild! Love it!
Thanks I bought one in ivory color last weekend with July 4th discount. It’s a great amp
This amp is amazing. I am a bassist but needed a guitar amp for a project on guitar. I swapped the speaker to a Creamback H and it is amazing. I’m going to use this as a blend for bass next studio project. Handles 6 string basses very well.
This video made me want to learn Trepass by The Haunted. Thanks Ola!!!
Clean channel starts...Instant chug after 1 sec. Shieeet! Love it!
I’ve got both EVH EL34 and the 6L6 stealth heads and I almost never turn the gain up past half way on the blue and red channels. That’s something common to EVH amps it seems. Tons and tons of gain if you want it but the amps just smoke with the gain about halfway. Thank you for checking out the Iconic. I’ve been dying to hear an honest test run since they announced it. I was a bit concerned on how it would perform only having 2 pre amp tubes. I shouldn’t have doubted. I’m really liking what they did with it. 👍🏻
Its better to have too much gain on tap that not enough. Ive played several of the various EVH 5153 amps and found that a boost is not necessary
I think it sounds monstrous. I love it.
Sounds pretty epic on the first channel!
James Brown is The High Lord of Chug! Not to mention a super nice guy.
But can he funk?
Get on the scene, like a sex machine!
@@dowens3781 I feel good!!
@@MikeCarvin @D Owens @Golden Waves @MeTuLHeD I do feel pretty good, now that you mention it!
👍🏻 sounds awesome on green cranked! Sometimes less is more !
I was thinking about getting one of these and this vid tipped me over ! Absolutely blown away how good it is , you can’t wipe the smile off my face when I play it .
Helps me make a decision to get one ! Thanks Ola 🧟♂️☠️☠️☠️🖖🏻. Merry Christmas 🎄
That haunted riff was nostalgic! Soo good
your hair is getting thicker, love it man!
I knew that gonna play that trespass riff. I love it
That six feet Under at the end sounded awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wow that's a killer amp, I'm impressed :O
Great review!
Awesome new room setup!
i really liked the metal approach on this video. its a chuggernaut!
Something about this new “Will It Chug” setup is making me very happy.
Green channel has always been where it’s at on the 5150. Overdriven green channel is life
Sounds to me like an Overdrive + Green channel would be the best.
It is the secret of every 5150
@@ShattererMetal I'm considering buying this amp as my first tube amp. What OD pedal would you recommend? I've actually never used any overdrive pedals other than onboard overdrive.
@@nckhed good ol Ibanez TS-9 would be fine, or Boss SD-1. If you are not going to spend that much, there are hundreds of cheap TS9 clones too, I use a Joyo Vintage Overdrive and it does sound pretty good
@@ShattererMetal Ok, thanks. Do you know of any tube amps that do a nice clean tone as well as a good metal tone? I have no experience with tube amps and I hear some do metal tones really well, but can lack a decent clean tone, and vice versa.
@@nckhed i am in the same situation , please tell me what you find if you do find something good
When you consider most gear reviewed on this channel gets to run through an expensive oversized 4x12, this sounds pretty decent. I reckon it could do with a better speaker.
Holy hell, the green channel sounds glorious. I'd probably just live there and roll off my guitar's volume to clean up, lol
Agreed! And with that, I'd say it's too bad they didn't make a way on the footswitch to just stay on the green channel while allowing you to just engage/disengage that drive button. For the music I play, that's literally all I'd ever need
The green channel sounds better for rhythm, for sure. A speaker replacement video with this amp would be cool!
That riff from "Trespass" tho! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love when you pull out that fart box lol. I have the Peavey Rockmaster preamp and had insane chug when it was in my tour rig. I also have a Rocktron gate / compressor/ limiter I ran along with it. Seemed to clean it up good. I believe the 5150 was based off that preamp, could be wrong but that’s what I heard lol. Thanks for the fun videos man. ✌🏻
I too had the rock master and it was way before it’s time, more gain than anything I tried in 1990
I always wondered if the 5150 had an association.
I had a rockmaster with a rocktron gate crazy gain.loved that rig
Hell yeah brother that’s badass!! 🤘🤠❤️
God damn that thing sounds incredible. Great price too!
Sounds awesome!
Thing sounds like a beast! Channel 1 rhythm, channel 2 lead. There you have it.
🤘😎🤘
As a 1x12 owner and player...i really appreciate you doing this. 1x12's dont get enough love imo. I have a randall rd40c with a dv77 and a randall rd112 v30 extension cab and i absolutely love it.
I had a Laney LC-II 50 watt 1×12 tube combo that I ran into a 2×12 cab and it sounded killer.
Boogie Mark IV combo owner here! Love the open-ness of a great combo. I'll be adding a closed back extension cab for some added thump but I'll still be using it in conjunction with the open back speaker.
A Randall RD40c? You've had that one for a long time. I haven't seen one in years
@@jsullivan2112 that sounds cool af! There's been some mk3 combos onmy local cl, but i couldn't ever afford one of those. I think if i were to get a mesa amp, it'd be the mk series...
@@Roux_504 i think i got it in 2014. It was a b stock with obo and 40$ shipping, i offered 290 and they accepted it! There was one on cl the other day, i would have bought it if i had the $$. I also have an 8040 valvestate 1x12. I want to get a rg80 and a dsl40c and mess around with different speakers if i ever start recording.
I bought a 5153 212 combo a few years back. Nasty.
