Evh · amplifier
The EVH 5150III Hypersonic 6L6 is a 50-watt digital modeling 1x12 combo amplifier from EVH that faithfully recreates the 5150III 6L6 tube combo without physical tubes. Using advanced digital processing, the Hypersonic weighs dramatically less than the tube original while delivering three channels with the same independent controls, EQ sections, and global reverb, resonance, and presence as the tube version. An integrated power attenuator (50W, 35W, 25W, 15W, 5W, 1W), XLR output with cab sim, headphone out, MIDI input, and USB-C for firmware updates make it a versatile studio and live tool.
