    EVH Amps spotted on American Idol

    I was watching AI last night and I couldn't help but notice that whenever anyone was playing a guitar while singing, they plugged into one of Ed's fine 5150III amps.
    Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.

    Actually those amps are pretty versatile and sound good with about every type of guitar so they would be a good choice for a house amp.

    Phoking-A. Or maybe just Pho King.

    That's money right there. Franchise it and become a millionaire. You can have it, because I hate pho and I'm not going to use it.

    Who OWNS one of these things?

    Who wants to? Who really wants one of these overpriced Fender amps over say, a Marshall, GenzBenz Diablo, Diamond, Krank or some other same-type buzzbox that sound better for hundreds less?

    Fox 8 is dead to me.

    the switch to digital TV came, and they went to their permanent channel that hardly anyone can get over the air. i am one of those people. i rarely watch any shows on Fox so i don't miss them. i can get Fox out of Youngstown OTA and in HD if i really need to see something, but that will change here shortly when i move north.

    someone had their morning show on at work, and that was the most i've seen in weeks. i don't really miss the geriatrics on their newscasts. Wilma Smith in HD is terrifying.

    And at the end of the day Marshall is still the best !!!!!!!!!!! Just ask Satriani. He wasted his time designing his own amp he already dumped live.

    Ugh, I have that station too. It's sick how much American Idol I have seen without watching the show. This is what I have to sit through to watch the Simpsons.

    Indeed. I'm saving up for a nice Marshall MGDFX 100w stack... It's the closest i've ever heard somebody get to the Brown Sound, though i've come very close on my G-DEC 30 amp.

    Dude, not trying to tell you what to do here, but...well, yes I am. But in the friendly advice kind of way, not to be confused with our resident know-it-all (cough..GARfail...cough). Having said that up front:


    In the name of all that's holy, do not buy a solid-state amp - you'd be better off with a JVM or something, trust me...
