The Story

5150III 50S 6L6 Guitar Amplifier Head

You might not play like Eddie, but you sure can play his actual amp! This is the EVH 5150III 50S Stealth, with two 6L6G power tubes and 50 watts of power. This 50-watt Stealth head roars with its own unique voice — tweaked with added features specifically to meet Eddie Van Halen’s touring requirements. Channel one soars with pristine and sparkling cleans; channel two features increased gain for greater sustain and is re-voiced for improved low-mid frequency definition; channel three also features increased gain and improved range for the “low” control. Each channel has its own versatile controls (volume, gain, presence, low, mid, high), as well as a rear-panel resonance control knob that dials in fine-tuned low-end response. The amp also has seven JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, two Shuguang 6L6G MSTR power tubes, switchable output impedance (4, 8 and 16 ohms), adjustable bias control, vintage-style “chicken head” control knobs, red jewel, dual speaker jacks, effects loop, direct out and molded plastic handle.

Includes: Footswitch and Paperwork
