"The seach for that awesome sound from a head is over!!!!"

Feature:
Its simple and easy to use. When switching between channels you hear no click or seperation just flows to the other channel. All channels sound great!!

Quality:
It seems to be well manufactured but time will tell. I have not had the EVH 5150 III to long. I have 4 Marshalls as backups if needed and I hope I never have to go back to the Marshall. The EVH 5150 III Has spoiled me. Im in love!!!

Value:
I wish it were a little cheaper, but If you have to money its better than the "MESA Roadster" for me, so I would buy it again if need be.

Desirability:
It looks great BUT!!!! White gets dirty so take care of your investment and have cleaner around.

Sound:
Super great sound!! Its actually more than perfect for me playing rock-metal. When I started playing I was caught by suprize I could not believe the quality The clean is better then my Marshall Jcm 800 and the 2nd channel is better then my Jcm800 Jcm 900 and mt TSL 100. Then you go to 3rd channel and WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Ease of Use:
Simple a 5 year old could set it up and use.

Support:
I can answer that becuase I have not had a problem with it .

Overall:
Im sold Ive always played Marshall and I was always trying to find a better sound and now Ive got what I needed with the EVH 5150 III.

"THE BEST AMP IN THE WORLD. PERIOD."

Feature:
Very simple. Volume, Gain and EQ on every channel with the 3 presence knobs at the end. All the knobs are very responsive but you can still dial any tone you want. The lack of effects, tone scoop switches, etc.. makes sure that no note is muddy or harsh at all. PERFECT.

Quality:
The is a truly roadworth, tough, indestructible piece of equipment. Ed himself designed it, didn't he?

Value:
Ya this is a lot of dough, but for what your getting, it's a MAJOR bargain!

Desirability:
A huge, ruuged, full sized tube amp head with Eddies signature stipes on the grill-You tell me!

Sound:
I'd rate the sound 12/10 if I could! It's unbelievable! I adore Marshalls but compared to the EVH, there isn't a marshall with half the tone quality of this amp. It's also a very loud amp but sounds just as good at low volumes. I set the volume at about 1/16 and the whole music store could easily hear me and this unbelievable amp. I love how the clean channel can be dirtied up for a plexi-like sound but has an excellence clean sound with the gain down. The second channel is insanely versitile and can nail any EVH sound or eveh a Marshall JCM 800 or JCM 2000 sound. The 3rd channel goes above and beyond any other high gain channel that I have ever heard. It has a ridiculous amount of gain but every note stays very clean and dinamic. It also has plenty of sustain. This is without a doubt the best sounding amp of the past, present and almost certainly the futur!

Ease of Use:
It couldn't be much simpler while still being so versitile. All you have to do is basically plug in and play!

Support:
Won't need it.

Overall:
This is an absolutely incredibly amp. I'm definately saving up for it and you should to.
