5150III 1x12" 30-watt Extension Cabinet - Ivory Review

5150 III

I have the 2x12 cab and got two of these 1x12 cabs to have a smaller stereo rig. All I can says if amazing tone and response for such a small compact cab. Thank Joe Schafer for helping with this purchase.

Serious EVH mojo in this 1x12

MASSIVE tone out of such a small package. I bought this for home practice, but provides such a great sound. Thought I would put it the test & brought it to practice - it did NOT disappoint. Using an LBX I with this amazing EVH 112 and the resonance knob makes this thing sound like a 4x12 was behind me. Not sure what voodoo they are using, but it is working, so do not overlook… read more all of the R&D that the fine folks EVH have put into creating such amazing tone. p.s. Charlie Davis has handled my GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) the past 5+ years - Les Paul, Marshall DSL40C, Fender PRRI & a slew of pedals. CANNOT thank you enough Charlie.

Top Quality Cab

I own, have owned, and have seen, a lot of cabinets and this one is among the best. I've had mine a few years so hopefully nothing has changed. I'm writing a review now because I just swapped speakers and had the cab opened up. Rock solid construction and attention to detail. For example, the jack is a switchcraft type - metal, not plastic. And the jack is mounted to a steel jack… read more cup. That cup is fixed to the cabinet back by little bolts and nuts that have a star washer, going all the way through to the other side, not just little wood screws. The EVH emblem is mounted with T-nuts! Again, not just wood screws. There is a bar of wood across the front, to which the emblem mounts and it is positioned right in front of the speaker center so as to eliminate excessive highs. I have another 1X12 cab, $ more expensive, by a more prestigious manufacturer. That cab was exceptionally well made - except. Except that it uses a plastic jack plate, and plastic jacks mounted to a small PCB. The EVH equals the high priced cab in wood craft and betters it at the jack. As for sound? The prestigious maker's little cab is famous for having a big sound from a very small box. I love that. The EVH equals the more expensive cab. I swapped out the stock speaker for a Celestion G12K-100 because I use a number of different heads and needed more power handling than 30 watts. Turned out to be a giant killer. It has strong, decent lows with no "thrumming" resonant points. No, it won't thump you as hard as a bigger cab but it isn't a weakling either. Small, big sound, portable with pro grade construction and details. I really love small but mighty 1X12's. And this EVH is as good as there is in that category.
