Presenting the New EVH 5150 Iconic Series Combos

[edwardVHS]

This demo sounds fantastic!! I have the 40 watt and I love it. This guy is an incredible player. I saw him with the Atomic Punks and he put on a great show.

[johnnywomack]

The tones are MUCH better than on the previous demos! This video really shows what these amps can do!

I have the 40 Watt 1x12. I run it through an original Peavey 5150 4x12 and it sounds amazing. I keep the speaker in the amp on too so it's got a huge sound even at bedroom levels. For the price, these are great amps. And... no one mentions the clean channel on the 40 Watt... you can go full-on jazz... it cleans up that well.

I bought the Iconic 40w Combo a couple of months ago. I was impressed by how extremely versatile it is so really there's something for everyone in this amp. This amp however is capable of dishing out obscene amounts of gain so ultimately it pans out towards heavy metal and modern high gain sounds. In short, it is a metalhead's dream amp.
The OD-1/Green Channel however has enough gain to produce the sounds of classic metal. I played some Iron Maiden stuff on it and it sounded fantastic!

Frankie showing what this beast is truly capable of! 🔥

[juanmelgar]

OMG. This metal sound is INSANE.
I need this ASAP

[crsantin]

I love my 40 watt combo. Loud when I need it to be and great at home volumes too. Fantastic amp.

[EdMan]

Nice! I've had the 15 watt, 1-10" version [black] for a week now and really dig it. Still gets plenty loud in its 4 watt mode.

I took delivery of my 15w 5150 Iconic combo two days ago and I'm blown away.
Like Ola, I am in love with Ch. 1 w/OD on. It DEFINITELY chugs!
For thems who don't know, this amp was designed by amp guru James Brown who designed the original Peavey 5150 series with the Maestro himself back in the 80s. (He recently started working for EVH.)
Ch. 1 basically approximates Eddie's Marshall years, while Ch. 2 is a tweaked Peavey 5150.
It's referred to as a hydrid because, according to Mr. Brown, he put a transistor in the first of the three preamp tube slots to cut down on squealing, and another transistor was used for the phase inverter. Apparently, this prolongs the life of the other tubes. All I know is that this baby can CHUG.
It has two speaker outputs with adjustable impedance settings so you can drive a full stack with it if you unplug the stock 10" speaker.
I'm used to 12s myself, so I have a spare 1×12 cab with a nicely broken-in 70/Eighty that I'll be hooking up along with the stock 1×10 for a fuller sound.
I anticipate dust piling up on my Marshall Origin 20 and my DSL cuz das gnu kid in town covers all the bases.
One thing... It weighs 45 pounds.😢 I guess it has to be a heavy amp to produce such a heavy sound. Right?
And the cleans are magnificent, too.
❤️ it!
RIP EVH. You were a hero to me in 1978, and nothing has happened to change my opinion since then.

[garywebb]

It’s simple. All EVH gear is bad ass! 🔥🔥🔥

[ryanfraley]

Franky killing it on the demo as usual. Nice amp too.

[Xaion]

Hell yeah! Those 15ws are gunna fly off the shelf

[Patinhiselement]

Nice work Frankie, your playing is always inspirational!

[ondrejstedry]

great playing from the guy, great sounds of the combo

[EFF_Around-FindOut.]

demo is very informative
nice playing, nice tones, backplate in video😍

[DazzQuested]

Just waiting for delivery on the 60w! Can’t wait to get chuggy with a seven string and baritone 🥹

[trevorwimberly]

Frankie Lindia! I got turned on to him and Jordan Ziff after watching them play guitar for Stephen Pearcy at a RATT concert they both killed it! This amp sounds great too!

[OfJaggedRisings]

These sound amazing. Wonder how the little 15 Watt holds up in a live situation.

[sethnewcomb]

Only amp I use at guitar center for trying out guitars, it’s too good

[markgarner]

ATTENTION to the good
folks @ EVH...
I loved Edward since 1978 when my brother called me into his room and said, "Listen to this." He put on 'Eruption.'
Whoa, dude... Then he played the whole album. (My brother and I grew up in a very musical home. Dad was a pro. He signed with Imperial Records in 1958. Guitars were a common sight in my house.)
So, anyway...
I have some trivial items which I wish to give to Wolfgang as a token of my love for his dad.
Jan Van Halen, his wife, and two sons, Alex and Edward, emigrated to the USA on a Holland-America steamship called SS Ryndham. This was around 1960.
In 1989, Ryndham was 'The Pride of Mississippi, ' an aged cruiseship that sailed from Biloxi, MS into int'l waters and opened a casino. I sailed on it once.
I have gambling tokens and other memorabilia, including a vintage postcard from this ship that I'd like to give Wolf. There's enough stuff for him to share with his uncle.
I bought this stuff for my own collection but with hopes of one day sharing some of it with him. That's how highly I thought of his dad.
Help me, y'all.
Oh, and forgive me for saying this, but I thought his mom was TOTALLY HOT in that sitcom One Day At A Time.
I was probably 14, around the same time Van Halen 1 came out. Hilarious, huh?
I bought the EVH Eruption relic model last year. Finally! A version with the original Strat bridge. (I loathe Floyd Rose bridges.)
I bought the EVH 5150 Iconic 15w combo last week, and I love it. I have a Marshall Origin 20 head for sale now if you're interested. 😅
Oh, that ship was later being towed to a scrap yard in India when it broke loose, rolled over, and sank in the Caribbean.
