EVH 5150 Iconic Series EL34 40W 1x12 Combo - Black

There are certain amplifier tones that immediately make you want to turn up. The EVH 5150 Iconic Series 40-watt 1x12 combo is built around one of those sounds. Inspired by the legendary amplifiers that helped define Eddie Van Halen’s unmistakable voice, the Iconic Series brings that explosive combination of singing sustain, aggressive gain, and touch-sensitive tube response to players who want the real thing without stepping into the price range of a flagship amplifier. Whether you are standing in front of a packed room or tracking guitars late at night, this is an amp that makes you want to pick up your guitar and play.

Designed by renowned amplifier engineer James Brown, the 5150 Iconic combines two EL34 power tubes with a multi-stage hybrid preamp built around a pair of ECC83 tubes. The result is an amp with remarkable range, moving effortlessly from open, articulate cleans to the kind of thick, harmonically rich overdrive that begs for big chords and screaming leads. Its custom-voiced EVH 12" Celestion speaker was designed specifically around the circuit, giving the combo a tight low end, clear mids, and enough definition to keep even the heaviest tones from becoming indistinct. With two channels and additional voicing options, players can shape everything from muscular classic-rock crunch to modern, saturated high gain, while the built-in noise gate, footswitchable boost, reverb, effects loop, and quarter-power setting make it equally at home onstage, in the studio, or at home.

What makes the 5150 Iconic especially compelling is how much amplifier it puts within reach. This is not a stripped-down version of an iconic sound. It is a serious all-tube amplifier designed to deliver the immediacy, punch, and excitement that guitarists chase when they plug into a great tube amp. The quarter-power setting lets you push the tubes without overwhelming the room, while the speaker-emulated XLR DI makes it remarkably practical for recording and direct-to-PA applications. Finished in unmistakable EVH style with black textured vinyl, gold-and-black badges, a brushed gold control panel, and vintage-style chicken-head knobs, it looks every bit as purposeful as it sounds. For players who want an amp that inspires them to turn up, dig in, and hear their guitar come alive, the 5150 Iconic is an exceptional value.
