AMPLIFIER- EVH ICONIC SERIES 5150...designed by James Brown!!!! Cheap???

 EVH ICONIC SERIES 5150 III AMPLIFIER 
James Brown who designed the original amp with EVH ...making changes and demands from Eddy on endless tweaking for two years designed the remake. He even sod his own successful pedal company Amptweaker to join the EVH company.
A prototype was completed before we lost Eddy.
$900.00 USD
It uses 4 6L6 tubes and produces 80 watts RMS. Trust me anything over 50 watts can wipe out a loud drummer so there is zero dumb down on the power :-)
It will be available in Sept. 2021. At only $900.00 USD for the head getting down a preorder deposit ASAP is recommended!
Also on offer is a 4x12 cab with custom Celestions for $500.00 USD
You have a choice of black or cream vinyl covering.



40 WATT COMBO
The 40 watt single 12" Celestion combo is at that sweet spot for enough power.
Keep in mind 40 watts RMS is the magic number for playing in a band where only the singers have a mic and the whole band has a balanced sound. No one gets drowned out and the band sounds killer in a small to medium size club


$800.00 USD

CONCLUSION
Rumor has it there will also be a 2x12 cab and a 40 Watt head.
These days with most players using combo's used old Marshall cabs can often be picked up dirt cheap. I expect it will be popular route to take with the average player getting this is younger and it is probably their first tube amp. Guys that when you say clean channel think of local abandoned port good for swimming. LOL
On the whole this is dead cool. Those that do not think so are old enough to be my grandfather ....and i'm 74!!!  :-)
