living legends of rock guitar. The 5150III 15-watt amp head’s dual-channel features deliver unbelievably searing tone from crunch
to full burn, inspiring unlimited artistic expression. With such fierce tone and uncompromising construction, the result is pheno-
menal EVH performance for years to come.
Unique features of this distinctive amp include an ultra high gain preamp design custom voiced for maximum harmonic content,
a front-panel metal grill with EVH striped motif, and more.
