This limited - edition, hand - customized EVH 5150III® 100S amplifier head is a replica of Eddie Van Halen's recent tour setup. It comes with the same custom modifications. The 100 - watt head offers a single input and three channels: clean, crunch, and lead. Each channel has versatile controls like volume, gain, presence, low, mid, and high. Channel two has increased gain for better sustain and a re - voiced sound for improved low - mid frequency clarity. Channel three features increased gain and an enhanced range for the 'low' control. Additionally, each channel has a rear - panel resonance control knob to fine - tune the low - end response. This amp is equipped with eight JJ ECC83 preamp tubes and four Shuguang 6L6 power tubes. It has switchable output impedance (4, 8, and 16 ohms) and adjustable bias control. Other features include vintage - style 'chicken head' control knobs, a red jewel, dual speaker jacks, an effects loop, a direct out, and a moulded plastic handle. It's a tube amplifier with gain, low, mid, high, volume, channel select, presence, and resonance controls for each channel. The effects loop is 1/4' (Send/Return), and it has one 1/4' input and one 1/4' line out. It runs on 120V and has a wattage of 100 Watts into 4, 8, or 16 ohms (switchable). A 4 - button footswitch is included.
Using your EVH 5150III 100S amplifier head is easy. First, plug it into a 120V power source. Connect your guitar to the 1/4' input. You can choose between the clean, crunch, and lead channels using the channel select control. Adjust the gain, volume, presence, and the low, mid, high frequencies according to your sound preference. Each channel also has a resonance control on the rear panel to fine - tune the low - end. If you want to use effects, connect them to the 1/4' effects loop. When it comes to the output, you can switch the impedance between 4, 8, and 16 ohms to match your speakers. The included 4 - button footswitch can make changing channels on the fly a breeze. As for maintenance, keep the amplifier in a dry and clean place. Check the tubes regularly for any signs of damage. If you notice any issues with the sound or operation, it's best to consult a professional technician. Also, always turn off the amplifier before making any connections or disconnections to avoid any electrical hazards.
