When Aaron Marshall of Intervals plugs into something new, the guitar world takes notice — and his recent demo of the EVH 5150III Hypersonic FR-12 proves why. Known for his precise articulation and tonally rich lead playing, Marshall puts the Hypersonic FR-12 through its paces, and the results are nothing short of jaw-dropping.
The rise of amp modeling has transformed the way guitarists play, record, and perform. And now, EVH has dropped the perfect companion for today’s digital rigs. The EVH 5150III Hypersonic FR-12 is a full-range, flat-response (FRFR) powered speaker engineered to accurately replicate every nuance of your amp modeler or profiler, delivering clarity, punch, and raw stage power.
The EVH 5150III Hypersonic FR-12 is loaded with a 1,000-watt Class-D power amp, giving it the volume and headroom needed for everything from quiet home sessions to high-SPL live gigs. It’s loud, clear, and shockingly lightweight for what it delivers – just 27.6 lbs (12.5 kg).
The EVH 5150III Hypersonic FR-12 features a 3-band active EQ (Treble, Middle, Bass), plus a High Frequency Cut control that lets you dial in your perfect on-stage tone without affecting your FOH or recording signal. This makes it an incredibly flexible monitor for guitarists who need precision on stage but consistency through the board.
The EVH 5150III Hypersonic FR-12 isn’t just about tone, it’s designed to fit in with your rig visually, too. The cabinet style takes cues from the EVH 5150III amplifier aesthetic, giving it a tough, backline-worthy appearance available in Black or Ivory textured vinyl.
Compact yet powerful, the EVH 5150III Hypersonic FR-12 measures 18.13″ high, 23.5″ wide, and 9.88″ deep, making it easy to transport while still packing serious projection. On the rear panel, you’ll find a balanced ¼” XLR combo input, ideal for connecting a wide range of modelers or profilers. There’s also an XLR line out with a ground lift switch, allowing for noise-free signal to front-of-house or recording interface.
The front-facing controls include Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, and a Cut knob for dialing in your perfect high-end roll-off. Simple, intuitive, and powerful.
For players diving into the modeling world or already deep into it, the EVH Hypersonic FR-12 delivers everything you need: power, precision, portability, and pro-level design. Get the EVH 5150III Hypersonic FR-12 here in either Black or Ivory finishes for $699.99.
