Description
The EVH 5150 Iconic Series is built for players who want EVH tube tone in a more compact and affordable package. Inspired by the flagship EVH 5150III amplifiers, the Iconic line captures the aggressive voice and saturated gain that Eddie Van Halen made legendary. The 15-watt head was collaboratively designed by the EVH team under the direction of renowned amp engineer James Brown, delivering authentic EVH tones in a streamlined format ideal for practice recording and smaller sessions.
Powered by a single EL34 power tube and a multi stage hybrid preamp driven by dual ECC83 tubes, this combo provides impressive punch, clarity and responsiveness. Two channels each offer an additional voicing for added versatility. The Green channel offers clean and overdrive modes, while the Red channel features a burn switch for added crunch and sustained lead tones. Independent gain and volume controls on each channel allow smooth level matching, while the 3-band eq, along with global presence resonance and reverb, provide detailed tone shaping.
