Full Description
View Full DescriptionLegendary tone, downsized
The EVH 5150 Iconic Series 15W EL34 Head packs the unmistakable growl and gain of the 5150® legacy into a format that’s ideal for home, studio, or small-stage use. Designed in collaboration with amp guru James Brown, this scaled-down beast captures the essence of its bigger siblings—complete with snarling mids, tight lows, and saturated harmonics—all powered by a single EL34 and voiced with a dual ECC83 preamp section.
Versatile channels with real tube bite
Two channels give you the flexibility to go from clean to crushing without compromise. The Green channel includes an Overdrive switch to push your clean tone into gritty crunch, while the Red channel’s Burn button unleashes soaring lead tones with added bite and saturation. Each channel features its own gain and volume controls for level matching, and a master Boost switch adds 10dB when you need your solos to cut through.
Made for real-world playing
At just 15 watts, this head is easy to crank without overpowering your space—but when that's still too much, a built-in ¼-power switch tames the volume even further while preserving your tone. Perfect for bedroom players or late-night practice, it also includes a speaker-emulated XLR output and headphone jack, so you can record or jam silently with the full flavour of its tube tone.
Modern features in a classic shell
With a built-in FX loop, dual speaker outputs, and a two-button footswitch included, the 5150 Iconic 15W is ready to integrate into any setup. Finished in textured black vinyl with a brushed gold faceplate and vintage-style chicken-head knobs, it’s got the looks to match its tone. If you're chasing Van Halen-inspired fire or sculpting your own sound, this head gives you the tools to do it—without leaving your house shaking.
