EVH

collapse expand iconDescription

The EVH 5150III EL34 50W 1x12 tube combo delivers signature harmonic overtones with increased dynamic compression and saturation to evoke a more modern "British" sound, all with the sustain and versatility expected from an amp bearing Eddie Van Halen's name.

Designed with flexible and independent dual-concentric controls that allow for gain and volume level matching, this 50-watt tube combo amp boasts three channels for any playing style- sparkly cleans, tight crunch or soulful leads.

Delivering a full-spectrum of tone, channel one features pristine cleans and compressed tone, channel two kicks in with overdrive and heavy gain and channel three oozes with liquid distortion. Channels one and two each have dual concentric gain/volume controls, with shared EQ (low, mid, high). Channel three has its own gain, volume and EQ (low, mid, high) controls. All three channels also have global presence, resonance and reverb controls.

Loaded with a 12" custom special designed EVH Celestion speaker to enhance sound and style, this combo amp also has seven JJ ECC83 (12AX7) preamp tubes, two JJ EL34 power tubes and front-panel adjustable power output from 50 watts down to one watt.

Other premium features include an ultra-high-gain preamp design custom-voiced for maximum output, single instrument input, rear-panel selectable output impedance (4, 8 or 16 ohms) with a pair of parallel speaker outputs, rear-panel MIDI input and preamp output, rear-panel effects loop and headphone jack (mutes power amp), and a four-button footswitch that controls reverb plus all three channels for easy onstage switching.

The black cabinet is constructed out of birch with special internal baffling for tight and increased bass response. Sporting a slick black and gold striped motif on the control panel, this combo is finished off with black vintage-style chicken knobs, red LED jewel indicator, molded black plastic top handle and pop-out casters. A high-quality fitted cover is available as an EVH accessory.

    What can I say, this amp has surpassed my expectations, sounds great and I'm able to lower the power setting for playing at home which is perfect for me, this would work for playing live as well.

    So I've had this rig for a few Months now, I play heavy Rock with screaming solos. I use the Hex with a midi pedal to switch my effects & mute to tune. I still like to use the EVH foot switch too.. The Reverb is pretty good I keep it on myaybe a quarter of the way up just add a little air but also have a nice pedal to swtch in for solos.. I use the Hex # 1 loop witch is independent with a overdrive & yes the Fortin gate is in the loop with all the other goodies. I just gate one crunch patch with the Blue channel just so its quiet when needed like between songs. Full blown rippen is never gateded it takes away a little.. the speakers are just breaking in & starting to sound real good also have a 4x12 hooked up too, wow talk about a wall of sound. I realy like the power dampener. I can play some what real quiet then when the boys come by I only turn it up like half way & its real loud also sounds more open too.. Real happy I wish this whole thing came in just the head you know with there Reverb & power dampener I was thinking of trying to do that but just dont have the skills to pull something nice off.. Its cool just need two guys to move up any stairs it rolls fine. So its a great amp maybe Friedman are better built but this will work for me for now.. Playing 40 yrs.
