EVH Amps- 5150® Iconic® Series EL34 40W 1x12 Combo

The EVH® 5150® Iconic® Series satisfies the needs of gigging and recording guitarists craving that powerful EVH tube tone — but at a more affordable price. Evolving from the revered EVH 5150III® amplifiers, the Iconic Series delivers the searing sound and growling gain that Eddie Van Halen made famous throughout his groundbreaking career.

Designed by renowned amp engineer James Brown, the 5150® Iconic® Series 40-watt 1×12 combo is powered by two EL34 power tubes and voiced by a complex, multi-stage hybrid preamp section anchored by a duet of ECC83 tubes, providing all the fire-power the modern guitarist needs. The cabinet is constructed from MDF with special internal plywood baffling for tight, increased bass response, and houses a custom-designed EVH 12″ Celestion® speaker voiced specifically for this preamp circuit, ensuring that pristine cleans and searing high-gain tones remain tight, clear and articulate.

Punching above its weight, this combo features two channels with an extra voicing on each for even more versatility. The Green channel boasts an Overdrive button for clean ➜ gain, while the Red channel’s Burn button adds fiery crunch that’s ideal for blistering leads.

Each channel has its own Gain and Volume controls for perfect level-matching. The Channel 2 Noise Gate delivers a quick attack that eliminates hiss without choking staccato riffing, and the switchable Boost adds up to +10 dB for solos that soar through the mix. A shared Low / Mid / High EQ, global Resonance & Presence knobs, and Reverb give you precise authority over every facet of your tone.

Additional pro features include a two-button footswitch, effects loop, dual parallel speaker output jacks, a ¼-power switch so you can crank the amp without waking the neighborhood, and a speaker-emulated XLR DI with power-amp mute for authentic all-tube EVH tone straight to your recorder or PA.

Sporting sophisticated EVH style, the 5150 Iconic Series 40-watt 1×12 combo is wrapped in Black textured vinyl with a black cloth front grille and features gold & black 5150/EVH logo badges. A brushed gold anodized aluminum top panel, vintage-style chicken-head knobs and a molded black plastic handle complete this striking all-tube combo.
