Hi everyone!
I would like to know more things about this head. From where I am, I have no chances to try one easily, so I hope you can help me.
I believe my Roadster will be gone soon, so I need to replace it. I've been searching a lot last weeks (if not months) and I'm still not sure. I'm sure of one thing: I don't want another "loose" amp. I need TIGHTNESS.
To give you an idea, I liked a LOT the Diezel VH4 I tried once, but it is very expensive. The same goes for Mesa's Mark series as it is in the same price range here in Portugal.
So I've been reading a lot about EVH 5150 III and hearing several clips. However, I'm not sure yet. Is it as tight as the Mark series? (I believe so, from what I've heard).
What about its ability to do metal? I've heard divergent opinions on this. Some say it has enough gain and saturation (a lot more than the Mesa's) with no need of overdrives but it's not designed for metal (maybe they never had played one and judge by the "EVH" and what it represents.
Anyway, I hope this thread will be fun and interesting and can provide good information for all
Thanks to you all
