Anyone that chases that modern high gain metal tone knows that the original Peavey 5150 is the granddaddy of that delicious metal tone we all love. There is so much hype and lore around the original Peavey 5150 EVH Block Letter and that it's the superior sounding amp compared to the Signature that followed. But is there truth to that? You be the judge.

Here I compare my 1993 Peavey 5150 Block Letter to my 1999 Signature 5150.
