EVH "Hypersonic" 5150 III 1x12 modeling combo amp

[marvcus]

Why does it say 6L6 if it is a digital tube amp? They only modeled the 6L6 version and not the EL34 too? No fx? And it’s just one amp model?

That’s like Playboy for married men. The same centerfold month after month after month…

How is this a better deal than a katana?

EVH Hyperbole 5150 amp

 

[Jccobb2]

Why wouldn’t you just get a katana modeler combo for 400 bucks or whatever?

 

[Geo]

For you chugging metal heads, it may be your perfect amp.

 

[SFW]

It's a crazy time we live in when you can buy the REAL amp for less that the "made to sound like the real amp" amp.

 

[DrewJD82]

Love 5150 shit, love Fender, love modeling, but this is baffling.

I can understand the Deluxe Reverb having a digital version since those gotta be cranked to get the sound people expect from them, but the 5153 is probably the most living room/bedroom friendly amp I’ve ever owned. The only additions this brings is the XLR Out/Cab sim.

Considering I got my 50-watt 6L6 head AND EVH 2x12 cab two years ago for $850, this is pretty nuts.

That price is beyond goofy for what it is. Would be more justifiable if they had the standard EVH effects built in. If I could get phase, flange, detune and delay along with the 5150 amp sounds, it might be worth it, but only barely.

$600.00 tops. Even with effects. It's an imitation tube amp MIC. They have lost their goddamn minds.

Just for comparison:

Fractal AM4 - $700
Duncan Powerstage 170 - $400
Mesa Recto 1x12 with V30 - $550

So...
Hundreds of amp models (and I would bet my rig Fractal's 5150 models here are better than Fender's 5150 models)
Some of the best effects in the industry
170 watt poweramp with master EQ controls
closed back 1x12 cab loaded with a Vintage 30


Total - $1,650, which is $50 cheaper than the Hypersonic


I have to wonder exactly how many executives at Fender were smoking crack when they priced this thing.

Nvm Shark Tank......



Fender really has a Shit Tank going on here and it smells to high heaven.

 

[The~Kid]

What in the fuck? And I just checked Sweetwater...5150 III tube combo is $1,439.

It makes absolutely zero sense at all.....



Fender Harvard McDonalds economics

I seriously don't understand

Why buy one of these when you can literally buy two 5150s for that price?

That would have been an awesome amp! Imagine, you get all of EVH's effect ready to go in one package. Add already made presets of some of his favorites settings. I can't believe no one thought about this. Good idea from you!

To those who suggested the Katana. It's a great solution and the built-in effects identified with a "E" are Boss sims of the MXR pedals. In the MOD and FX blocks of Boss Tone Studio: "PHASER 90E" and "FLANGER 117E", and in the PEDAL FX "WAH95E".

 

[Rex Rocker]

Um...

It's a fucking combo. And a 1x12 at that.

 

[tjnx]

ngl the brand took a pretty big hit for me with these decisions. Writing 6l6 on it is wild... idk how these ideas weren't shot down immediately.
