Evh 5150 Iconic 15W 6L6 Head - Black

Optimized for both live club performances and studio recording sessions, the EVH 5150 Iconic Series 6L6 15W Head (2257606410) stands out as a compact and affordable version of the famous 5150III, renowned for its iconic rock and metal tones.

Overview

This amplifier head features two channels (Green and Red) packed with controls. Each channel lets you adjust the gain and volume to your liking. The Green channel is designed for clean tones, with an Overdrive switch that offers a wide range of distorted sounds, from hard-blues overdrive to thick, musical leads, and ’80s hard-rock crunch. The Red channel, on the other hand, fully harnesses the amp’s potential thanks to its Burn switch, delivering powerful and rich modern distortions.

Comprehensive controls for a custom sound

The EVH 5150 Iconic Series 6L6 15W offers a multitude of additional controls to precisely shape your sound:

• Three-band EQ
• Resonance and Presence knobs to adjust the low-end response and brightness
• +6dB boost
• Built-in reverb

Modern connectivity and practical features

This amplifier is designed to be a creative tool. It features a switch that reduces the output level by about one-quarter of the maximum power. Additionally, it includes:

• XLR output with speaker simulation
• Power Amp Mute function
• Preamp Out
• Effects loop
• Impedance selector (4 / 8 / 16 ohms)

Tube Options: 6L6 or EL34 for a Custom Sound

The EVH 5150 Iconic Series 15W is available in 6L6 or EL34 versions. The 6L6 tubes deliver full, deep bass, mellow mids, and crystal-clear highs. This configuration provides a dynamic overall tone, ideal for clean sounds. In contrast, EL34 tubes deliver tighter bass, rich and incisive mids, and punchy highs, creating a dense sound with a pronounced presence in the mids. Guitarists will particularly appreciate the natural compression offered by this option, which is perfectly suited to classic Marshall© tones.
