The Speakers of the House!!

I have two EVH Heads. The Cabinets make the tone! Everything from the thickness of the grill cloth to the way they are back loaded within the cabinet are all part of the sound. The Green Back 20's are simply my favorite speaker of all time!! I used these speakers back in the 70's when they ran out of Black backs at the factory and used Green ones instead in my first Marshal Cabinet! Any amp will have a remarkable sound with this Cabinet. The Freq response and low end and woody rich nazal sound is something I can't ignore. Other Cabinets fall short and you will know what I mean if you run what ever amp you have through one of these.After they break in and loosen up!! "Man!!" The speakers can be many times more important than the actual amp. The speakers dictate the sound. I have a friend who has a lower end solid state amp and he used my Cabinet once for a gig. He tripped on it and now he wants to use it again and again....he got mad at me cause I wouldn't let him run off with it.

Finally

I've been through a ton of cabs and finally found one that gives the balance of sound I'm looking for when playing clean or driven. I've tried Marshall cabs (a couple), Mesa, Hughes & Kettner and the 5150III has the warmest, deepest tones of all of them. I found the Mesa and Marshall cabs to have too much midrange and in an A/B test with the 5150III they sounded almost harsh. I use two heads, a Hughes & Kettner MkII and a Fender EVH 5150III -- and now always through the 5150III cabinets.

Best of cabs

Well, I spent countless hours looking for a cab with blackback celestions (G12M). Turns out that EVH and celestion worked together to bring these back. I bought my cab a couple weeks ago. The speakers have not been broken into just yet, but I'm impressed with the sound out of the box. New speakers are hard to break into to get that nice crunch, but these are something else. They really do sound just like my 70s cabinet with blackbacks. Is missing the vintage Marshall mojo, but soundwise is REALLY HARD to tell them apart.

Amazing cab
Posted by Mogs from Ontario on May 29, 2008

Man this cab absolutely kills. It's a straight-front 412 that has four Celestion G12EVH speakers, which are basically just G12M "greenbacks" with eddie's name on them. The greenbacks are by far my favourite speakers, especially with amps that have stupid amounts of gain, like the 5150/6505 series and the new 5150III. They have a high end rolloff (no stupid sizzle!) a sweet and powerful midrange (buttery smooth and no honk!) and a strong but controlled low end (tight with no "woof")... the cab comes in white which is awesome in theory, but a few days on the road will destroy that... but maybe that's what you're going for.
i'll be getting one of these cabs for myself.

5150III Head

The 5150 III is a awesome head. I have the old Peavey 5150 Head, slant and straight cabinet combo. The new 5150 Head is more versatile. The three channels let me go from a crystal clear clean channel to distortion to all out full blown distortion. I use the head through my Peavey 5150 cabinets and it rocks! I use a digitech processor and hush unit to add the perfect tone. The only thing that I would recommend for the 5150 III head is to make channel two a little bit hotter. Its hard to get the squeals on channel two (ryhthm channel). Overall I Love my head and would recommend buying it!
