INTERESTING!!! I would like to know if this one sounds like the 'big one' but I think so...

It won't sound like the full size, maybe somewhat similar but that's it. According to the people that make them.

 

[crillemannen]

Well if they can guarantee that it sounds exactly as the big one then i will definitely buy one

 

[Fandus]

It won't, just like the rockerverbs! Wattage always seems to change the tone of an amp design.

It may not sound exactly like the 100W head, but it may still sound awesome!

Yep, they're almost here! It's about time, been excited for this amp ever since it was announced and EVH dropped the ball on it coming out mid/late July, as originally expected. Hopefully it delivers!

That's totally different.

The original Rockerverbs had different power amps, so of course they're going to sound different. The RV50 was loaded with EL-84s, whereas the 100 had EL-34s, totally different thing. The new MKII versions sound much more similar, but the RV100 isn't nearly as aggressive as it was before

 

[crillemannen]

Is the EVH mini suppose to be the same as the big one except less Watts?

 

[Derpsicle]

It's the same as the big one, only with less watts and fewer knobs
Shared EQ on channel 1 and 2, and global presence I think.

 

[crillemannen]

Then it seems like a win win for it to be a studio amp

How much it will be on USD?

How much it will be on USD?

It's been on their site for a month or so. They're due next week

Again, so you guys understand, it will not sound identical to the full size head. Not saying it will sound bad, not at all, just don't expect it to literally be a 5150III in a smaller/lower wattage form factor.

I have to do a video of this amp!

 

[jangoux]

ouch...$999

 

[MatrixClaw]

ouch...$999

Ouch?

That's cheaper than a brand new 6505, and you get a Fender clean channel with it

 

[::XeS::]

In Europe used 5150's cost more than in USA so I still prefer a used/new 6505 over this little amp

 

[jangoux]

Ouch?

That's cheaper than a brand new 6505, and you get a Fender clean channel with it

that will turn to $2500 when it comes to Brazil...
