She's Gone amp settings — EVH 5150III 100W
The Steelheart guitar tone for “She's Gone”, dialed in for a EVH 5150III 100W with a Yamaha Pacifica012. Studio version, Steelheart (1990 debut album) — Signature heavy lead and crunch tone
Marshall JCM800 2210 (channel switching), Ibanez RG with stock humbuckers, studio rack chorus and delay/reverb
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 6 |
| Master | 4 |
01Analog Chorus (e.g. Boss CE-2W / MXR Analog Chorus)
RECOMMENDED — not owned (place in FX loop for classic 80s ballad chorus spread)
02Digital Delay (e.g. Boss DD-3 / DD-8)
RECOMMENDED — not owned (place in FX loop set to ~420ms for soaring lead sustain)
The EVH 5150III Blue channel has more native compression and bottom end than Chris Risola's Marshall JCM800 2210, so keep bass at 5 and push the mids to 7 to recreate that biting British upper-mid push. Gain is dialed to 6 because the 5150 preamp saturates far earlier than a classic JCM800. For the clean intro verse: switch to the Green (Clean) channel, select the neck+middle single-coil position on your Pacifica, and roll volume back to 8.
