EV 5050III ToneX Essential

Terrific!

I thought for a long time about whether to buy this pack, since I wasn’t sure if Amalgam made good high-gain packs. I enjoyed their clean and crunch packs, but I was hesitant about the high-gain ones. But damn, I can say without a doubt that this is the best 5153 pack I’ve tried. I had such a blast! Played for an hour straight without stopping. The dynamics and low-end detail are very close to the real thing. And the captures are calibrated too! Guys, you are simply the best! Please also make packs for some of these amps and I’ll buy them all: Engl Powerball/Fireball/Savage/Invader, MLC S_Zero, Laboga Hektor, RedSeven Leviathan, Lichtlaerm Audio Prometheus. And you will first;)

Perfect!

Amazing captures of a great amp that packs a lot of punch... Exactly what I was expected and much more, GREAT job!

Amazing Hi Gain captures!!!

This has to be one of the best hi gain amp captures I've tried in the past year. Note separation, definition, but also punch. Loving this more and more.

High gain heaven

If you are into 5150 style amps this pack is perfect! Good for metal, hard rock and harder rock. Very nicely captured amp.

Excellent in every way!

Like it

Like it very much!

Breathtaking sound and feel

It’s my first Amalgam audio purchase. Hours went by in a blink. Found the right sound just by choosing from the scooped/fat/warm capture variations. No knob turning what so ever!!!!

Best of the best

Hi, I have 90% of the capturs from Amalgam Audio. I also have everything pack from Tone J for Kemper and Quad, some from Michael B. and some from Bert M. I prefer capturs with a guitar cabinet as close as possible to the natural, non-invasive sound straight from the microphones. The latest esential capturs from Amalgam are simply brilliant. Matchless Phonenix and Mesa Mark IV are my favorites. I like simple sounds with a bit of reverb and compressor. You can feel that it is a guitar combo with one 112 speaker or a guitar cabinet with 412 speakers. You get a round guitar treble with the natural expected bass, and what distinguishes each amplifier is the midrange, which is preserved fantastically depending on the amplifier. Captures are made in a very modern way, similar to York audio (guitar speakers). The bass and treble are not cut out immediately for the studio mix, but are left naturally like a real boost. If you want the best possible reproduction of your amplifier and your own live or studio processing, Amalgam captors are just for you. I already have my favorite amplifiers, but I still buy everything Amalgam puts out. I recommend Amalgam whenever and wherever I can. Worth the price.

Get ready to feel like a rock star

This is one of the best modern sounding high gain amps. Sizzling gain, that has both body and punch. Tight low end that doesn't need a boost pedal to cut down on excess flub. Incredible string clarity that is audible even at higher gain captures. The EVH 5150iii will make your chords rock, your chugs punch and your lead playing soar. This is one of my favourite high gain capture amps by AA that makes you feel like a rock star when playing. A truly amazing amp for rock and metal.
