Product Description

Loaded with pure EVH Eddie Van Halen sound and power, the EVH Eddie Van Halen 5150 III 50-watt Head is a scaled-down version of its acclaimed 100-watt big brother-the mighty 5150III head-with many of the same great features. Its smaller size and portability make it a perfect amp for players who want arena volume, tone and performance in a compact package. It pairs perfectly with the EVH 5150 III 2x12 and 1x12 cabinets, in addition to the current EVH 5150 III 4x12 cabinet.

It's a three-channel amp; channels one and two share EQ, with gain, low, mid, high and volume controls; channel three has gain, low, mid, high, volume and master presence and resonance controls. Other features include selectable impedance (4, 8 or 16 ohms), dual parallel speaker output jacks, effects loop, headphone jack, line out and black hardware. Included four-button footswitch has 1/4 inch input jack; also accommodates MIDI footswitching. Available in Black and Ivory textured vinyl covering with black EVH-striped grille.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (2 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This could be the perfect rock/metal amp."
Overall: Eddie has given us the perfect amp. 50 watts into the 4 speaker evh cabinet can be devastating loud with no break up at all. Blue channel at 7 oclock gain is rock perfection, red channel is really compressed and rounds out your leads without losing harmonics. Green channel shares gain with blue so it will always be dirty if you want the blue channel to rock. Red channel cannot be dialed down enough to sound like blue so you will always have a dirty clean. The harmonic range of this amp is awesome, pick attack response is awesome. This amp is everything I wanted my Marshall to be, I am afraid that my 2 year old Marshall is as obsolete as my two year old pc. This Evh amp requires two pedals delay & reverb thats it everthing else is in this amps sound. Bought it from zzsounds best deal fast shipping.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "EVH tone in a box"
Overall: This amp has "balls" plain and simple. Its all about the gain. From 80's hair to modern death this amp will do it and do it well. If your looking for a blues amp or sparkling cleans pass on this one. You can get them both with the 100 watt version but the shared channel on the 50 holds it back
Style of Music: You name it i have played it.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
