The EVH 5150 amp has defined rock and metal for years now. EVH have listened to fan requests to make a 5150 with EL34 power amp valves for a slightly different sound and their requests have been answered!

British Tones

Whilst the 5150 is known for giving you saturated, fat distorted sounds many people wanted a bit more mid-range attack in a tasty 50w format which is exactly what EVH have gone and done with this amp. The cleans have a bit more sparkle and the dirty tones have definitely got more mid-range to offer than the standard 5150. This means that you'll get a whole host of tones as you wind the gain up from clean to dirty. 

Three amp channels also mean that it's easier for you to differentiate between those tones.

All Killer, No Filler

The amp is beautifully compact and classy-looking with black and gold livery. And you can get the matching 2×12 cabinet here! 

Headphone Output & Effects Loop

If you prefer running your delays, verbs and mods in the effects loop to retain that powerful crunch then you can use the built-in series effects loop. And for running a direct line to the front of house PA system you can simply use the headphone output.

Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.

Amps

Guitar amps cover everything needed to amplify, shape, and project your guitar sound, from small practice setups to full stage and studio rigs. In this category you’ll find combo amps, separate amp heads and speaker cabinets, covering valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, each offering a different feel and response. You’ll also see modelling and digital amps, built-in effects, footswitches, attenuation solutions, replacement speakers, valves, and essential accessories to keep an amp performing at its best. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, classic crunch, or modern high-gain tones, guitar amps and related gear are all about finding the right balance of power, tone, and control for the way you play.
