Meet the EVH 5150 Iconic Series 112 40W Combo — the gig-ready cousin of the legendary 5150III. This hard-hitting combo packs the searing sound and growling gain Eddie Van Halen made famous into a more accessible package. Designed with powerful tube tone, it's built to make your riffs punch and solos soar.
Tube Tone on Tap
While some amps politely ask to be heard, the 5150 Iconic demands absolute attention. Voiced by renowned amp engineer James Brown, this complex, multi-stage hybrid preamp section delivers the pristine cleans and searing high gain you need for modern rock and metal. It brings a boutique-level bite that simply refuses to get lost in the mix.
Dynamic Dual Channels: Choose your sonic weapon. The Green channel goes from crystal clean to gritty overdrive, while the Red channel brings the fiery, blistering crunch for heavy rhythm and lead work.
EL34 Tubes: Powered by two EL34 power tubes, this combo punches way above its weight class, delivering unmistakable British-style bite and bottom-end thump.
Articulate Attack: A lightning-fast noise gate on channel two suppresses unwanted hiss, ensuring your staccato riffing stays crisp, clear, and aggressive.
Shape Your Signature Sound
Static tones are a thing of the past. The 5150 Iconic gives you total control over your sonic destiny. With independent gain and volume controls for each channel, you can easily level-match your clean and high-gain tones for a seamless live performance. It’s an intuitive setup designed to keep you focused on playing, not tweaking.
Soaring Solo Boost: Step on the included footswitch to engage the Boost control, adding a massive 10dB of volume to make your lead lines cut right through the heaviest rhythm sections.
Precision EQ: Dial in the exact flavor you want with a shared 3-band EQ, plus global resonance and presence knobs to fine-tune the low and high-end thump of the room.
Lush Onboard Reverb: Add the perfect amount of bounce and decay to your tone with the global reverb control, taking your sound from dry and aggressive to vast and atmospheric.
Built for the Stage and Studio
Let's be honest: an amp needs to look as good as it sounds, and it needs to survive the road. Wrapped in sleek black textured vinyl with vintage-style chicken-head knobs, this combo sports sophisticated EVH styling while packing serious functional upgrades. It pays homage to rock royalty while proving it can handle the rigors of modern touring.
Custom Celestion Speaker: Housed in an MDF cabinet with special internal plywood baffling, the custom-designed EVH 12" Celestion speaker ensures a tight, massive bass response.
Power Attenuation Switch: Lower the wattage to 1/4 power, letting you crank the tubes to their sweet spot without disturbing your neighbors.
Studio-Ready DI: A speaker-emulated DI XLR output with a power amp mute makes it easy to send that blistering all-tube EVH tone straight to a DAW or front-of-house PA.
Your Hard-Rocking Heavy Hitter
The EVH 5150 Iconic Series 112 40W Combo is a brilliant blend of legendary rock history and modern engineering. Capturing the soul of Eddie Van Halen's iconic sound, it gives gigging guitarists the firepower to command any stage. This amp is built for players ready to plug in, turn up, and tear the roof off.
