Awesome 50w EVH modded by Jens Kruse in California. Search for Kruse Amps and you'll find awesome reviews on his site and on guitar forums- the guy does fantastic work!
Mods include:
  • Stealth Voicing
  • dual concentric volume and gain on ch1/2 ( I used a white sharpie to add lines to indicate level, see images)
  • Green/Blue/Red LED's inside head shell that switch with channels Integrated with amp's circuit, no external wires.
  • SuperSonic Mod that releases compression for much better clarity- this can be set to 0 to bring it back to stock
  • Variac Module scales this amp down to 3W in 5 steps ( 50-25-15-7-3w )Switch while you play. (tube life is prolonged)
My own upgrades:
  • I changed a few knobs- I still have the original white ones to switch back if needed
  • 2 tubes swapped out as guided by the designer (Howard)  to improve red: V2: 12au7 &  V3: LPS This was awesome! It retains the ferocious girth and power but allows full use of the gain- cool tones from 9o'clock to maxxed
  • EVH Cover


Also includes stock footswitch (unused) with trs cable as well as power cable

My thoughts: 
Green: this is like the 100w Stealth in that it gets gainy quick. You can get crystal clean tones by maxing the volume and bringing the gain up as needed. Once the gain goes past noon it is crunchier than any other 'clean' channel out there...really cool to powerscale down and gain it up for raunchy 70s tones 

Blue: this channel is one of the best tones out there; it is amazing. Put it between 12- 3 o'clock and use the guitar volume knob and you would be set for any rock gig on just this channel. 

Red: no boost needed here, it brings the heat. 11-2 o'clock on the gain is the sweet spot. It has a Cameron/Fortin-ish attack with a huge and tight low end.

Bid with confidence: 100% everywhere inline >10 years under the same name

Thanks for looking!
