Brand new arrival. Re-introduced at NAMM 2015. This limited edition hand-customized EVH 5150 III 100S head is identical
to the setup Eddie Van Halen has recently toured with, and features the
exact same custom modifications.
The 100-watt head features a
single input and three channels (clean, crunch, lead), each with
versatile controls (volume, gain, presence, low, mid, high). Channel two
features increased gain for greater sustain and is re-voiced for
improved low-mid frequency definition; channel three also features
increased gain and improved range for the “low” control. Further, each
channel has a rear-panel resonance control knob that dials in fine-tuned
low-end response. The amp boasts eight JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, four Wing
C 6L6 power tubes, switchable output impedance (4, 8 and 16 ohms) and
adjustable bias control. Other features include vintage-style “chicken
head” control knobs, red jewel, dual speaker jacks, effects loop, direct
out and molded plastic handle.
