We are extremely impressed by this amp’s rich, full tone - especially for being a "mini" amp. Tonally, it stays true to its bigger brother in the EVH line - a pristine clean channel, a great crunch channel, and a third channel with an absurd amount of gain. The added MIDI functionality makes it convenient to program with multi-fx processors.

This 1 x 12" cab's smaller size makes it perfect for club gigs and practicing. The EVH 5150 III 1 x 12" straight cabinet was designed to Ed's specs to deliver killer tone. When paired  with the 5150 III 50-watt head this cab delivers the classic guitar tones that defined rock 'n' roll for decades.

Throughout his career Eddie Van Halen relied on Celestion speakers. The 5150 III 1 x 12" cabinet continues that tradition with a single 12" Celestion G12H 30-watt Anniversary speaker. The G12H gives you thick, warm tones with a tight low end. This speaker exudes classic EVH tone when combined with the 5150 III 50-watt head.

Both the amp and cabinet are in excellent condition. They have been appreciated and well looked after by a meticulous owner. They have had no modifications and are firing on all cylinders.

This is a big sounding rig in a small package. It is unique in its versatility and delivery of big tone at any volume setting.

Comes with its 2 vinyl EVH branded covers in excellent condition along with its dedicated foot switch, power cable & speaker cable.
