EVH 5150 Iconic 15W Head EL34

Legendary EVH Tube Tone, Recording Flexibility, and Modern Gig-Ready Power

Overview

Experience Eddie Van Halen’s iconic amp sound in a compact, studio- and stage-ready package with the EVH 5150 Iconic 15W Head EL34. Part of the revered EVH 5150® Iconic® Series and designed by amp guru James Brown, this head brings you the unmistakable power, growling gain, and dynamic response that defined rock guitar for decades—now accessible and affordable for modern players.

This 15-watt all-tube amplifier features one EL34 power tube and a duet of ECC83 preamp tubes, creating the unmistakable punch, warmth, and bite that guitarists crave. Its two versatile channels—each with extra voicing—allow you to dial in everything from pristine cleans to searing high-gain leads. The Green channel offers classic clean to crunchy overdrive, while the Red channel's Burn button unleashes aggressive, harmonically rich saturation. Each channel features independent Gain and Volume controls for perfect level matching and versatility.

With a foot-switchable Boost (10dB), shared 3-band EQ, global Presence, Resonance, and Reverb controls, the 5150 Iconic 15W puts pro-level tone-shaping at your fingertips. For silent recording or DI use, the speaker-emulated XLR output and power amp mute give you authentic EVH tones straight into your interface or PA—no cab needed. Add the effects loop, dual parallel speaker outs, and a ¼ power switch for cranking at home or in the studio, and you’ve got a true powerhouse in a portable format.

Dressed in signature EVH black textured vinyl with a brushed gold aluminum control panel and classic 5150 badging, this amp is ready to rock any stage, session, or home setup.
