Loaded with four EL34 power tubes, the EVH 5150IIIS 100S hearkens back to the earliest in Van Halen tone, recreating smooth contour, sag and saturation.

Experience classic EL34 tone -- the sound that helped power Eddie Van Halen's groundbreaking work on his earliest Van Halen albums -- and lethal looks in the ferocious EVH 5150IIIS 100S EL34 Head.

The EL34 power tubes deliver smoother contours, and greater sag and saturation that evoke a more modern "British" sound, all with more sustain and versatility than ever before.

Channel one boasts an even finer clear-and compressed clean tone, while channels two and three now possess even more compression and saturation. Other features include a rear-panel Resonance control section that tailors low frequency response for each channel and a bias testing and adjustment port that allows you to fine-tune the tubes with more ease than ever.

Wrapped in an elegant gold and black EVH motif, the 5150IIIS EL34 Head allows you to experience classic EVH EL34 tone.

The 5150IIIS 100S EL34 Head is complemented by the 5150IIIS EL34 412ST cabinet. This 100 watt, 16 ohm matching black with gold trim straight-front 412 cabinet features rock solid birch construction, Signature Celestion G12EVH speakers, EVH casters and recessed metal handles.

I have been a professional musician most of my life and have owned a lot of gear over the years - This amp is awesome for a number of reasons First, like all EVH products - and amps - it is built to endure the road second, the channel switching is superb! Third - Much better version of clean amp and the resonance knob thickens things up nicely. My favorite is channel 2 - on this amp it is warm and voiced more like a VH album tone than earlier 5150 amps / dial in the resonance knob in back and you have a pretty damn good Fair Warning tone right out of the box / gain past 6 is useless but, this is killer / without pedals ( I use a wampler faux tape echo in the effect loop ) Channel 3 - reminds me more of that Stone Temple Pilots / Plush tone really gainy and distorted / more like " I'm the one " type thing still have to work on this channel but, the voicing is better than the stealth in my opinion. Killer amp !! I bought mine thru zZounds / just pull the trigger !! and get one !
