EVH 5150 Iconic Amp Head with Classic Tube Tone

Developed in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, the EVH 5150 Iconic 80-watt amp head is the perfect way to celebrate his legendary music. Powered by four 6L6 output tubes and two 12AX7 JJ preamp tubes, this 80-watt EVH head gives you two channels of unmistakable Van Halen sound with all the tone-shaping control you need to make it your own. Overdrive and Burn switches, along with Volume, Gain and Boost controls on both channels, allow you to fine-tune it all and create something truly unique. Whether you’re looking to nail one of Eddie’s classic solos or to create something entirely original based on EVH tube tone, the 5150 amp head has everything you need to dance the night away.

Celebrate the Sound of Eddie Van Halen


 Developed in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, the EVH 5150 Iconic amp head is designed to get your guitar tone closer to Eddie’s “Brown Sound” than ever before. You won’t want to miss this tribute to one of the most recognized tones of all time.

Iconic EVH tube tone


 Inside the 5150 amp head you’ll find four 6L6 output tubes and two 12AX7 JJ preamp tubes designed to Eddie’s specifications. With 80 watts of power, the EVH Iconic head allows you to crank out the soaring cleans and the crunchy distortion Eddie Van Halen is known for. The amp won’t teach you how to finger tap, but it will deliver the classic high-gain tone you love.

Fully control two powerful channels


 For high-flying cleans, Channel 1 has you covered. It also features an Overdrive switch that launches the gain into the famous EVH “Blue” crunch. Channel 2 is for all your high-gain needs, along with a Burn switch for enhanced saturation and punch. With full Gain, Volume and Boost control over both channels, the 5150 Iconic amp head allows you to customize the Van Halen sound to fit your own style.

Footswitch for channel select

With a footswitch included to conveniently switch between channels, you can go from clean to crunchy in a heartbeat. No matter which side of the Van Halen sound you love, the two-channel 5150 Iconic amp head is ready to rock.

A tribute to legendary tone

Few guitarists have made an impact on the world of rock music like Eddie Van Halen. Known for his unique playing style and infectious riffs, Eddie’s guitar tone is instantly recognizable. The EVH 5150 Iconic amp head puts that Van Halen sound right at your fingertips with powerful tube tone and full sound-shaping controls.
