EVH 5150III 50W 6L6 Head Ivory

The EVH® 5150III® 50W 6L6 Head delivers the unmistakable high-gain authority of the 5150 platform in a compact, road-ready format built for players who demand arena-level tone without hauling a full-size rig. Whether you’re tracking in the studio, playing club dates, or pushing serious stage volume, this head brings the punch, clarity, and saturation that made the 5150 name legendary.

This 2.0 version expands tonal flexibility with independent dual-concentric gain and volume controls on channels one and two, allowing precise level matching between crystal-clear cleans and aggressive crunch. Channel one offers articulate, shimmering clean tones with headroom to spare; channel two moves seamlessly from chunky overdrive to tight, modern distortion; and channel three unleashes the saturated, liquid lead tone EVH players expect. Shared EQ for channels one and two keeps dialing simple and intuitive, while channel three features its own dedicated EQ for complete tonal control. Global presence and resonance controls shape the overall power section response, letting you fine-tune top-end bite and low-end thump to suit any cabinet or stage.

Built with touring musicians in mind, the 5150III 50W 6L6 Head includes selectable impedance (4, 8, or 16 ohms), dual parallel speaker outputs, a 1/4" effects loop (send/return), line out, headphone output, MIDI input, and a four-button footswitch for full channel control. Powered by two JJ 6L6 tubes and seven JJ ECC83S (12AX7) preamp tubes with a solid-state rectifier, this head delivers tight low end, articulate mids, and aggressive harmonic detail at any volume.

Wrapped in ivory textured vinyl with the iconic EVH-striped perforated steel grille and classic white chicken-head pointer knobs, it looks every bit as commanding as it sounds. Compact, powerful, and unapologetically bold, the EVH 5150III 50W 6L6 Head is built to dominate.
