The all-new EVH® 5150III® 50S 6L6 Head is a dream amp for guitar players. It's compact and portable, yet it packs the touring tone, arena volume, and high - performance of Ed Van Halen in a small package. With three channels, it suits every playing style. You can enjoy crisp clean sounds, chunky overdrive, tight distortion, and searing leads. The newly added independent dual - concentric controls make it easy to match gain and volume levels. Tweaked to meet Eddie's touring needs, this 50 - watt head offers a wide range of tones. Channel one gives crystal - clear clean tones. Channel two has increased gain for better sustain and a re - voiced sound for improved low - mid frequency definition. Channel three has an improved 'low' control range and lots of liquid gain. Channels one and two have dual concentric gain/volume controls and shared EQ (low, mid, high), while channel three has its own gain, volume, and EQ controls. All channels come with global presence and resonance controls. The amp is equipped with seven JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, a pair of Shuguang 6L6 power tubes, switchable output impedance (4, 8, and 16 ohms), and an adjustable bias control. It features a seductive black textured vinyl finish with a dual black EVH striped steel grille front panel. There are vintage - style 'chicken head' black control knobs, a red lamp jewel, dual speaker output jacks, a four - button footswitch, an effects loop, a direct out, and a moulded plastic handle. A high - quality fitted cover is available as an EVH accessory. Specifications include 50 - watt power at 120V, specific controls for each channel, various input and output options, and details about tubes, impedance, and physical dimensions.
Using your EVH 5150 III 50S 6L6 Tube 50 - Watt Guitar Amplifier Head is a breeze. First, connect your guitar to the input jack. Then, choose the channel that suits your playing style - clean for a pure sound, crunch for a bit of grit, or lead for high - gain tones. Adjust the gain and volume on each channel using the controls. You can also tweak the EQ settings (low, mid, high) to fine - tune your sound. If you want to use effects, connect them to the effects loop. When it comes to the footswitch, use the four buttons to switch between channels easily. Remember to use the right impedance setting (4, 8, or 16 ohms) for your speakers. As for maintenance, keep the amp in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. If you notice any issues with the tubes, it might be time to replace them. Also, make sure to turn off the amp and unplug it when you're not using it to save energy and prevent any potential damage.
