Re: The New 5150III amp.
Sounds like a killer amp from the clip. I`ve got the GW mag and it`s a really good article on the new amp. There really isn`t any of the EVH drama included so it`s a refreshing read. Now if only I had $2000 and it was realistic for me to crank up a 100 watt amp.

Re: The New 5150III amp.
I think some of the "on the fencers" and naysayers are missing a very important detail in that video.
If you pay attention to the controls as they pan across them. The dude only has the master volumes no higher than 3. He's not even cooking any output tubes yet. And if you have to take into consideration the audio quality lost when I ripped it and you tube compressed it.
I don't know much about amp electronics in general. But I don't see how you could have a master volume for each channel and not have 3 channels.

Re: The New 5150III amp.
I imagine the demo guy set the channels to be eq'd similarly. You'd probably get more variety out of the amp with more varied eq. But it's cool that the channels aren't voiced radically differently, as that may mean fender haven't overloaded the circuit with a bunch of extra junk. As it is I had a chuckle about that "just 18 knobs of tonal bliss" line...
It'd be cool if they did a single channel version...

Going on the EVH=endorsement fiend, I would be surprised. What would they call it though? The 5150III.1?

Re: The New 5150III amp.
Because the line is 'EVHgear' a joint venture between Ed & Fender/FMIC. Not only will they be selling the EVH Frankenstein, and 5150 III's but other guitars and gear to come, represented as "EVH" Brand. They are his ideas under his corporation, E.L.V.H Inc. made and distributed by FMIC. Make sense?

The back of the Head and Cabs do state:
Appropriately as all of Fender's Amplifier departments have moved from Lake Oswego, Oregon, to Corona & Brea Calif., to Mexico (Not sure if that's Ensenada, Baja Calif, Mexico, or not). Whether they are "Custom Shop" made models to regular floor line production models.

Not all Fender tube amps are made in Mexico. Only the Hot Rod Series, Blues Deville & Blues Deluxe and Princeton Recording amp are made in Mexico. The Champ 600 is made in China. All other tube amps are made in Corona, CA.

Re: The New 5150III amp.
Yeah, but those were considered Peavey products. The new ones are the EVH brand. But since he doesnt have his own factory, Fender makes and distributes.
The samples Ive heard sound darn good.. I just wish it wasnt so friggin expensive..

Re: The New 5150III amp.
Am i the only one that thinks that amp doesnt sound so hot?? lol
Not to butt heads here guys but yeah ok it is a youtube vid, but i have heard so many other amps kick from Youtube vids.
Fender is a huge co. that does have tons of resources to create almost anything they want.
For that price i would rather buy something from a small maker made in the USA. Something like a CAE, XTC, VHT, etc.... These guys make super quality stuff with top quality components.
But it isnt a price thing, i just dont really dig the amp. sounds harsh to me. Like i said maybe the dude that was doing the vid had the mids pushed all the way up or something.
to each his own.

Re: The New 5150III amp.
Well....as long as nobody has used in real music I do not care how it sounds really!
Because hearing it on its own makes little sense, you can get a broad idea, but nothing else.
I like "harsh" amps
They fit so well into most music, ugly is a big part of what I like in most stuff, smooth and even tends to get phased out.
