To power and amplify premium guitars, EVH is launching the 5150 Iconic Series 15W EL34 1X10 Combo – a powerful tube tone delivering the signature sound and growling gain of Eddie Van Helen at an affordable price. This amplifier features a custom designed EVH 10” Celestion speaker voiced specifically for this preamp circuit. Additionally, it is powered by one EL34 power tube and voiced by a complex, multi-stage hybrid preamp section anchored by a duet of ECC83. Punching above its weight, this combo features two channels with an extra voicing on each for even more versatility – one to run from clean tones to increasing gain while the other adds fiery crunch that’s ideal for blistering leads.

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 signature sound and growling gain that Eddie Van Halen made famous throughout his groundbreaking career. Designed by renowned amp engineer, James Brown, the 15-watt 1×10 combo is powered by one EL34 power tube 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 out of MDF with special internal plywood baffling for tight and increased bass response, and houses a custom designed EVH 10” Celestion speaker voiced specifically for this preamp circuit, so that the pristine cleans and searing high gain tones are 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 to run from clean tones to increased gain, while the Red channel’s burn button adds fiery crunch that’s ideal for blistering leads. Each channel houses its own gain and volume controls, allowing for level-matching the volume when switching between the clean and high gain channels. The control panel also includes shared EQ (Low, Mid and High), global resonance and presence knobs to adjust the low- and high-end aspects of your tone, and a global reverb control to add the perfect amount of bounce and decay for any room.
