Got to say this doesn’t exactly make me want to run out and buy one…

Sounds terrible. It seems somewhat common a manufacturer will roll something out and the video is terrible.
If I were from EVH, I would pay that guy NOT to play that gear.

There's nothing "Iconic" about that right there. When I think of Iconic 5150 sound, I listen to Heartwork or Surgical Steel by Carcass on vinyl. Now that's Iconic 5150 sound.

Oh man, Heartwork is such a classic.
I hope this one was just a bad recording or something. It’s fuzzy and the fundamental is really weak.

I liked the cleans, but not the gain channel

Pretty sure his demo of the 5150 III El34 100 was fizzy too and that amp is definitely not so I'll reserve judgement until I hear more

In all seriousness, already most of us dont like the way it sounds in the clip. Those at EVH should be able to tell its not the best demo if they listen to their own clip.

How does this sound any worse than EVH’s tone the last 20 years of his career?? Lol! “You people are a bunch of fickle mush heads”! Hahaha!!

Not even the playing is saving that one. It sounds like a pedal because it essentially is a glorified one in the guts. I just hear preamp gain here.

This. Most "official" demos from amp companies (besides Bogner and Friedman) always sound like ass. I'd say there's a really good chance the amp sounds better than this.

It isn't "just" a clip.
It's the first, widely available, company approved clip of a massively hyped product that a massive corporation is promoting.
If it was some jackoff in his basement then maybe some of these guys would have a point; but it isn't.
This is what evh/fender CHOSE to represent their massively hyped product with, which is mind boggling.

It sounds like a guitar processor from the 90's, if you go to the "EVH" preset.
