Eddie Van Halen's lifelong pursuit of tonal perfection culminates in the 5150III® 100–Watt Head, the flagship amplifier that launched the entire EVH line. This powerhouse handles everything from pristine clean passages to crushing rhythms and soaring high–gain leads, all at volumes that cut through any mix with authority.
The amp's three–channel design represents the Holy Grail of tone that Eddie chased throughout his career. You get a truly clean channel for sparkling clarity, a super–heavy crunch channel for aggressive rhythms, and an off–the–scale overdrive channel that pushes boundaries. Each channel features comprehensive tone–shaping with gain, low, mid, high, volume and presence controls, plus a global resonance knob for fine–tuning your low–end response.
Under the bonnet, premium JJ tubes power this beast — eight ECC83S (12AX7) preamp valves working alongside four matched 6L6 power tubes. The head comes wrapped in thick textured vinyl available in black or ivory, complemented by a black steel grille and crisp white front control panel that screams unmistakable EVH style.
