EVH: A brand with iconic sound and innovative power

EVH is known for amplifiers and guitars that are characterized by their powerful sound and versatility. The EVH 5150 Iconic Series was developed to make the typical Van Halen sound accessible to guitarists while offering great tonal flexibility through modern technologies. The 5150 Iconic EL34 combo is specifically designed to deliver the full tube tone and dynamic response that is essential for rock and metal. With a user-friendly design and innovative features, this amp is an excellent choice for professionals and ambitious beginners alike.

Technical details of the EVH 5150 Iconic Series EL34 40W 1x12 Combo

The EVH 5150 Iconic Series EL34 Combo offers an output of 40 watts and is powered by two 6L6 power amp tubes and two JJ ECC83S (12AX7) preamp tubes, which provide the typical warm and rich tube sound. The 1x12" speaker configuration with an EVH Celestion Custom speaker gives the combo a powerful sound that asserts itself well in the band structure and is convincing in both live and studio use. With a compact size of 570 x 290 x 510 mm and a weight of 29 kg, the combo is easy to transport and yet robust enough to withstand intensive use.

The amplifier has two channels, each with its own gain control. Channel 1 is equipped with an overdrive switch, which heats up the sound even more and provides a crunchy sound that is perfect for rhythm guitars in rock. Channel 2 goes one step further and, in addition to the gain control, offers a burn switch that provides extreme distortion and is ideal for solo parts and heavy riffs. In addition, channel 2 has an integrated noise gate that minimizes unwanted background noise and guarantees clear sound transmission.

Tone control and effects for a precise and variable sound

The EVH 5150 Iconic Combo offers extensive control options that allow guitarists to customize their sound down to the last detail. Each of the two channels has separate controls for low, mid and high, offering precise control over the tonal range. In addition, there are volume, boost, reverb, resonance and presence controls that further shape the sound as required and adapt the sound to the style of music. The integrated reverb effect offers an additional way to enrich the sound and gives it a room-filling depth.

Another highlight of the EVH 5150 Iconic is the effects loop (send/return) with 6.3 mm jack, which makes it possible to integrate external effects devices such as reverbs, delays or chorus effects. For maximum flexibility in the studio and on stage, the combo also offers a recording output with speaker simulation via XLR so that the signal can be sent directly to the mixing console or interface - perfect for recording without additional miking.

Functional design and user-friendly switches

The EVH 5150 Iconic Series EL34 Combo is not only powerful, but also user-friendly. The amplifier is equipped with practical switches, including a power and standby switch as well as a power level switch that allows you to switch between full power and 1/4 power. This is particularly useful for use at home or at lower volumes without having to sacrifice the full sound. A power amp mute and ground switch provide additional options for customizing the setup and reducing noise.

The included 2-way footswitch can be used to conveniently switch channels and control effects, providing flexible control during performance. The amp also has connections for the instrument input, pre-out, footswitch and external speakers, which further increases the versatility of the amp and makes it easier to use in different setups.
