Airis 51-Filthy is here! My Lord!!!

[JerEvil]

So let me start by saying… Nothing generally kills my Boner faster than “solid state amp“

With that said, I got about 20 minutes with this thing and it fucking rips! Not gonna lie, I would take this over my old 5153 stealth 100 any day of the week.

Given the builder, it’s definitely brutal, AF! But there’s actually quite a range of heavyish tones in here all the way up to just fucking annihilation.

I have to go to Miami for a couple of days, but when I get back, I’ll do a proper demo.

I’ll be uploading a quote. Did Canada post destroy my amp because they hate America“ video where you’ll get to hear just a quick functionality test of the amp. Not a proper playthrough or anything.

EDIT:
Here’s my usual “did it arrive alive” vid. Not really a proper demo or anything. Just making sure it didn’t get fucked in shopping.

What is it? solid state preamp?

LOVE the looks of this! Get in on that Rectifier pre-order!

It’s a 300 W solid state “modded“ 5150. Has a built-in boost based off of his HM808 pedal, affects loop, and a couple of 9 V taps to power pedals.

Nah, this is enough. I don’t know that it’ll sound THAT different warranting both.

Hmmm, I’ll have to hear it in action. The idea of a $1200 Class D 5150 doesn’t flick my bean too hard, but maybe in the mods there’s some gold to be found.

Thanks kimg!

Sounds like something that would fuck hard

 

[MTB1973]

Really interested in hearing this.

Is that the price? I paid $1000 for this one. I didn’t realize the price went up. Also his site is listed in CAD.

 

[MTB1973]

I think they are $800 USD.

 

[Mongillo19]

I think they are $800 USD.

Yeah I think around $870

 

[JerEvil]

In hindsight, I paid like $768 US or something like that. Not sure where I got $1000 from! Lol.

That's a little more reasonable, but still a LOT of money for 300 w of Class D (and only 75 watts into a 16 ohm 4x12).

Yeah I paid < $800

 

[JerEvil]

Vid adds to the OP. I’ll get a proper demo done this weekend where I really go through the amp once I’ve had time to learn what all it does! Lol.

 

[CorrosiveMatter]

It sounds perfect for it's name!

 

[JerEvil]

Honestly, it is just a lot of fun to play. I’ve never really been a 5150 guy and HATED my EVH Stealth 100. This… this is a 5150 I can get behind.

I feel like this comment here undermines this comment in the OP:

Not gonna lie, I would take this over my old 5153 stealth 100 any day of the week.

“I would gladly take this thing over this other thing I fucking hate.”

Sounds good! Excited to get mine!!

To be fair, I’ve heard many people make the Stealth sound good. I’m not one of those guys. I was cautiously optimistic when I bought it, but juts never bonded with it.
