EvoRider Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Is these amps any good? I have a chance to buy one local and it is in pretty good condition. He says it is a 1978 model low serial number. It is loaded with pyle 12 inch drivers. Are they reall made by Gibson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I think Pyle Drivers are for car audio............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I believe the Lab Series was a Bob Moog design/build. And yes, Pyle speakers are completely wrong for a guitar amp. "musical Instrument" speakers and "hi-fi" speakers are voiced very differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpetri Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I have got an L5 from 1984 to 1993 and I was very happy with it. At that time I used only the lead channel (with the parametric eq) that was really good for warm (also if a transistor amp) and pretty clean sounds. For the dist/crunch sounds I think it should be better to use another amp. For a little period (some months in the 1990) I have got two Lab Series an L5 (clean sounds) and a L7 (bigger speakers - lead sounds) and I was almost satisfied; I drive the two amps with a custom switch I made by myself; but I had a lot of noise for my taste, and also the distortion sound was not wonderful!! I don't know about the speaker you has in yours, but originally mine had two Celestion 12' and they were really good for clean sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have L5s and an L9, which has the stock single EVM15L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
