EVH 5150 Iconic 80w Head and Cabinet bundle, Black

Full Description

Signature EVH tone with modern flexibility

The EVH 5150 Iconic 80w Head and Cabinet bundle is engineered to deliver the unmistakable tone and attitude that made Eddie Van Halen’s sound legendary. At its core is an all-tube 80-watt head featuring a duet of ECC83 preamp valves and four 6L6 power tubes, bringing powerful, responsive tone with crisp articulation and deep harmonic richness. This amp is all about versatility—offering two fully switchable channels with additional voicing options. The Green channel delivers shimmering clean tones that can be driven into crunchy overdrive, while the Red channel offers rich saturation and scorching lead tones with the option to engage a burn switch for even more bite. From rhythm to lead, the tonal character remains clear, punchy and dynamic. This is the sound of a modern classic, built to satisfy the most demanding tone chasers without the boutique price tag.

Gig-ready power and practical control

This amp head is loaded with features designed to make life easier on stage. The dual-channel layout includes independent gain and volume controls, giving you the ability to dial in and balance tones precisely. A shared EQ section shapes your core frequencies, while resonance and presence knobs let you fine-tune low-end depth and upper sparkle to suit your space. A built-in boost provides up to 10dB of footswitchable volume for solos, and a responsive noise gate on channel two keeps your high-gain sounds tight and free of unwanted hiss. There’s even a ¼ power switch on the front panel, which lets you maintain rich tube tone at reduced volume—ideal for rehearsals or home use. Every element of this design is focused on giving you full control without distraction.

Premium cabinet designed for tone

The matching 5150 Iconic Series 4x12 straight-front cabinet included in this bundle is built for tone, power and durability. Crafted from solid MDF with internal plywood baffling, the cabinet enhances low-end punch and keeps your sound tight and defined. Inside are four 12" EVH Celestion Custom speakers that have been specifically voiced to pair with the head’s preamp section. They handle everything from crisp cleans to molten high-gain leads with clarity and authority. With 160 watts of handling power at 16 ohms, this cabinet is as rugged as it is resonant. Finished in thick black textured vinyl with a black grille cloth, silver and black logo badges, recessed steel side handles and removable pop-out casters, it’s built to travel and perform with style.

Smart connectivity and silent recording

The EVH 5150 Iconic head is equipped with all the connectivity options you need for both stage and studio work. You’ll find dual parallel speaker outputs for flexible cabinet pairing, an effects loop for integrating your outboard gear, and a ground lift to minimise unwanted hum. A standout feature is the XLR DI output with speaker emulation, which allows you to capture the amp’s all-tube tone directly—ideal for recording or live setups where mic’ing a cab isn’t practical. The power amp mute option enables silent operation, letting you rehearse or record at home without making a sound.
