For guitarists craving that legendary, hot EVH tube tone without having to auction off a kidney, the EVH 5150 Iconic 15W Head is here to answer your prayers. It packs the same growling gain and signature sound that Eddie Van Halen used to redefine rock into a more affordable, compact format. This amp isn't just inspired by a legend; it's designed to help you become one.
Your Ticket to Tonal Versatility
The 5150 Iconic 15W head is a two-channel titan designed by the legendary amp engineer James Brown. It's built to deliver everything from sparkling cleans to the fiery crunch needed for blistering leads.
Two Channels, Four Voices: The amp features two main channels, but each has an extra voicing for incredible flexibility. The Green channel offers pristine clean tones, but a quick press of the overdrive button sends it into a satisfying crunch. The Red channel is all about high gain, and its "Burn" button adds a layer of fiery saturation perfect for solos that melt faces.
Independent Controls: Each channel has its own Gain and Volume controls, which means no more awkward volume jumps when you switch from your rhythm to your lead tone. It’s all about seamless, professional-level performance.
Built-in Boost: The footswitchable 10dB boost gives you that extra volume on demand. It’s like having a tiny, invisible roadie inside your amp, ready to push up the fader at a moment’s notice.
Shape Your Sound, Your Way
This amp packs practical features, giving you total command over your sound. Whether you're rocking out on stage, laying down tracks in the studio, or practicing at home.
Global EQ and Tone Shaping: A shared 3-band EQ (Low, Mid, High) lets you dial in your core sound, while global resonance and presence knobs give you control over the low-end thump and high-end sparkle. Add in the global reverb for the perfect amount of spaciousness and decay.
Quarter-Power Switch: Want that cranked-amp saturation without getting evicted? The 1/4 power switch reduces the wattage, letting you push the tubes hard for rich, dynamic tone at a volume that won't upset your pets (or the police).
EL34 & ECC83 Tubes: The powerhouse behind the tone is a single EL34 power tube and two ECC83 preamp tubes. This classic combination delivers the warm, articulate, and aggressive sound that defined generations of rock and metal.
Stage-Ready Style and Studio-Smart Connectivity
The 5150 Iconic head doesn't just sound the part — it looks it too, with distinctive EVH style. Plus, it’s packed with modern features for today’s gigging and recording musician.
Iconic EVH Design: Dressed in Black textured vinyl with a brushed gold anodized aluminum front panel, this head looks as menacing as it sounds. The black steel grille, vintage-style chicken-head knobs, and iconic 5150 and EVH logos complete the sophisticated, rock-ready aesthetic.
Effects Loop: A built-in effects loop allows you to cleanly integrate your favorite time-based and modulation pedals without coloring your amp’s core tone.
Speaker-Emulated DI: The speaker-emulated DI XLR output lets you connect directly to a PA system or recording interface, delivering authentic all-tube EVH tone with a power amp mute for silent recording. It’s your secret weapon for getting massive studio sounds without mic'ing a single cab.
The Sonic Scoop
The EVH 5150 Iconic 15W EL34 Tube Head is the perfect fusion of legendary tone, modern versatility, and affordability. It delivers the sound that inspired millions of guitarists, with the practical features needed for any musical situation. Crank it up and get ready to make some noise.
