In 2005, Fender and Eddie Van Halen joined forces to develop the EVH® brand of guitars, amplifiers and musical products. For the past two decades, EVH has been producing equipment that could only come from such an iconic pairing—elegantly designed and precisely crafted with both highly technical players and beginners in mind. This year, the company is cementing their place in rock and roll history with brand new additions to their 5150 series of amplifiers and inimitable Wolfgang Series.

5150 Iconic Series Amplifiers
5150 Iconic® Series 60W 2X12 Combo ($2,499.00 AUD) This combo features two channels with an extra voicing on each for even more versatility. The Green channel boasts an overdrive button to run from clean tones to increased gain, while the Red channel’s burn button adds a fiery crunch that’s ideal for blistering leads. Each channel houses its own gain and volume controls, allowing for level-matching the volume when switching between the clean and high gain channels. The channel two noise gate’s quick attack suppresses any hiss while ensuring all staccato riffing is articulate and crisp, not choked and choppy. The Boost control allows you to add another 10 dB of foot-switchable volume to your tone and 8dB of front end gain — perfect for ensuring your solos cut through the mix. The control panel also includes shared EQ (Low, Mid and High), global resonance and presence knobs to adjust the low- and high-end aspects of your tone and a global reverb control to add the perfect amount of bounce and decay for any room. Available in Black and Ivory.

5150 Iconic® Series 15W 1X10 Combo ($1,399.00 AUD) Punching above its weight, this combo features two channels with an extra voicing on each for even more versatility. The Green channel boasts an overdrive button to run from clean tones to increased gain, while the Red channel’s burn button adds a fiery crunch that’s ideal for blistering leads. Each channel houses its own gain and volume controls, allowing for level-matching the volume when switching between the clean and high gain channels. The control panel also includes shared EQ (Low, Mid and High), global resonance and presence knobs to adjust the low- and high-end aspects of your tone and a global reverb control to add the perfect amount of bounce and decay for any room. Other features include a one-button footswitch, effects loop, dual parallel speaker output jacks and a ¼ power switch to reduce wattage—allowing you to crank the amp and still preserve tone but without destroying your neighbor’s solitude. Available in Black and Ivory.
