Van Halen parted ways with Peavey...

[subversion]

it's official, Van Halen & Peavey went seperate ways:

who's Ed with now? word is, he's with Crate...

 

[pooo]

I hope he'll come up with a more exciting guitar design.

now that the 6505 is a reincarnation of the 5150, i hope that the list price would be reduced since there's no EVH tag to it. i'm a fan of the drive tone... 8)

there's a current re-issue of the original Charvel EVH guitar run by the charvel company itself but production is on a ltd basis. it's still unclear if EVH would make this his new personal guitar...

oh well ... with or without his name on it... the 5150 still kicks ass... tonally... but its a real bitch to move around....haizzz

hope they make a 30 watt version of the 5150 ... that'll be cool...

 

[subversion]

the local market isn't really in tune with product offerings, really, because Peavey did make a scaled-down version of the 5150- the 5150 II Mini Stack, 40W...

 

[guitar_phreak]

ohhh.....just LOVE that EVH tone man!!...

 

[ChanMin]

yo subversion , where did you hear about the 5150 II mini 40w? ... i cant seem to find anything about it... perhaps you can direct me a site or sumthing?
thanks

 

[subversion]

the 5150II 40W had been deleted from the catalogues... for obvious reasons of course.

 

[ChanMin]

i knw the entire 5150 line was axed from the site... but i cant even find it on google?... or harmony central... was just hoping to take a look at the amp...

Yea, i was trying to look up for the 5150 mini too since u mentioned it. Really would like to know something about it.

ok here's the 5150II mini bit...

it seems that a guy i talked to had forgotten to tell me that the mini 5150II was in fact a proto only... *sigh* anti-climax... but somehow he managed to try it out- that's the interesting bit, he's sending me over the pic soon, so watch this space... :wink:

 

[ChanMin]

wah pengz... but nevertheless a novel idea... should be sold cheaper if it was ever built too! thanks to eddie leaving peavey

 

[pooo]

Could have been a real contender of the Marshall mini stack

 

[ChanMin]

no lah diff league... one is 40 watts tube ...
one is a marshall solid state

i tihnk the price will still be over 1k
