EVH 5150III 50W EL34 1x12 Combo, Black

The EVH® 5150III® 50W EL34 1x12 Combo delivers Eddie Van Halen’s unmistakable tone in a compact, portable package. This versatile tube combo amp is loaded with signature harmonic overtones, dynamic compression, and that distinct British-flavored EL34 saturation. Whether you’re aiming for sparkling cleans, tight crunch, or searing lead tones, this amp delivers with sustain, versatility, and the firepower to cut through any mix.

Equipped with three independent channels, the 5150III EL34 Combo gives you a full range of tonal options. Channel one delivers pristine cleans with a touch of compression, channel two ramps things up with aggressive overdrive, and channel three explodes with liquid distortion for leads that sing and scream. Each channel is designed for versatility, with independent dual-concentric gain and volume controls, shared EQ on channels 1 and 2, and full independent controls on channel 3. Global presence, resonance, and reverb controls let you shape your tone to perfection.

Under the hood, you’ll find seven JJ ECC83S (12AX7) preamp tubes and two JJ EL34 Apex Matched power tubes driving a custom-designed 12" Celestion® G12H Anniversary Series speaker. The result? Astounding midrange clarity, sparkling highs, and growling lows that deliver a relentless sonic assault.

Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this amp is loaded with pro features like a MIDI input, speaker-emulated line out, effects loop, headphone jack, power scaling down to 1 watt, and a four-button footswitch to control all three channels and the onboard reverb. Finished in sleek black textured vinyl with a gold anodized front panel and pop-out casters, the 5150III 50W EL34 Combo is as gig-ready as it gets.
