This amp is more the amp I'd like to see EVH with, his 5 years is up with FMIC who haven't given him the better transformers, and he owes Hartley an apology.
Maybe something's up for the #4 designation.. a placeholder for it's future endorsee - as in a 5150-IV?
Are we seeing the beginning of the planets aligning here?
Will Ed use it for VH7 somewhere?
Could it be Ed made more money in 1 year at Peavey than in 5 years combined with FMIC?
OR: Will Hartley do what he did to the public, with introducitn a first-year run with the good transformers then pulling a switcheroo after?
I only see one way of sustaining this kind of high-gain production: some Chinese company, or a Chinese production-contract transformer factory affilliated with a decent American or British designer, is making a really decent higher-voltage tranny set and Peavey's using 'em because you can't make money selling an amp for 1400 retail when you got nearly $200 of fabrication costs in the heavy iron.
