This amplifier is designed for the gigging and recording guitarist who seeks the revered EVH tube tone at an affordable price.

Designed by the renowned amp engineer, James Brown, the 5150 Iconic Series is powered by four 6L6 power tubes. This amp head offers two channels, each with an extra voicing for added versatility. The Green channel delivers lush clean tones or can be switched to provide an overdriven crunch. The Red channel, on the other hand, produces fiery leads with a blistering-hot Burn setting, perfect for those soaring solos.

The EVH 5150 Iconic Series 80W Head Black is not just about power and versatility, it's also about control. Each channel has its own gain and volume controls, allowing for easy level matching. The quick attack of the channel two noise gate ensures your staccato riffing is articulate and crisp, not choked and choppy. The Boost control allows you to add another 10Db of foot-switchable volume to your tone — perfect for ensuring your solos cut through the mix.
