I got an EVH 5150III 2x12 a while ago... year or two maybe... i tugged it up to the second floor... and after a short time I tired of it. It just wasn't happening. I had an SG Standard that was nice and light... i always liked it's tone... tried different pedals just to play with... pulled out the crappy JJ preamp tubes... but nah. I kind of stopped playing again.
I tugged an old '95 Peavey 5150 2x12 up to the first floor a week or so back, with a Standard Custom. The magic is there. Tone... liquid joy...
I ended up taking the Hamer up to the EVH to try... it sounded killer. The EVH just hates that SG that always sounded good in other amps... hates it.
I still think the Peavey sounds better... funny, people complain about it's weight at 84lbs, 12lbs less the a 4x12, but no one complains about the EVH 2x12, that also weighs 84lbs.
