Evh 5150 IIIS EL34 Mode D'emploi page 2

This professional all-tube amplifier meets the exacting specifications of Edward Van Halen, one of the true living legends of rock
guitar. The 5150 IIIS EL34 updates his 6L6-equipped touring version, with new features that will inspire unlimited artistic expres-
sion, including a "cleaner" channel one and more compressed tone and saturation from the matched JJ EL34 tubes. With such
fierce tone and uncompromising construction, the result is phenomenal EVH performance for years to come.
Other distinctive features of this ferocious amp include an ultra-high-gain preamp design custom voiced for maximum harmonic
content, a front-panel metal grill with a gold-and-black EVH striped motif, and much more.
