EVH 5150 lll...Number 3...DEAD...*?!##*!!

I hate to plant the seed of insecurity, but I think you just got lucky...

I know nothing about electrics/electronics, but I think the problems with the footswitch are because of the loop. If I don't use the effects loop, I'm guaranteed a trouble free night with the EVH.

You are on the money there. It is the FX loop switch that is being a bit unpredictable. The loop will be on when the indicator says it is off. An when I turn off power and restart, it will be normal again. At some point when I am not paying attention, it reverses itself. Could be an EVH trait or personality that they intentionally put in the amp.

Its a design flaw that shouldnt be in a $2000 boutique amp.

Looks like you missed my bit of sarcasm there.....

Hell my Peavey Valveking 100w Head (Which I paid $995AU for...they are usually $1000-1200 here) must be more reliable than the 5150III. I haven't had any problems with the VK so far.

dude, so you saved $5?! Bonus!!

If his next one goes bang, I'm sure I'll hear the swearing in Stoke from here!

:ROTF:

I saved more than that . The place I got it from have put it back up to its original price "$1,195.00"

[shobet]
