Strong match

Who this is for

  • Tracking sessions where three voices are needed in one pass
  • Loud stages that demand a full 100W head
  • Rigs built around a 4x12 and a floor switcher

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Home practice — this is far more power than a room needs
  • Players wanting an all-in-one combo with a speaker built in
  • Anyone who needs a light amp to carry alone up stairs

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

EVH 5150III 100W 3-Channel Tube Guitar Amp Head Black construction detail

Detail 01

100 watts through four 6L6 tubes

6L6s hold tight and bright under load. Big clean headroom before the power tubes start compressing.

Detail 02

Eight 12AX7 preamp tubes

The gain structure lives in the preamp, so the distortion voice stays the same at any master setting.

Detail 03

Three channels

Clean, crunch and lead keep independent settings. Switch voices mid-song without touching pedals.

Detail 04

Four-button footswitch included

Floor control of channels and loop comes in the box instead of as a separate purchase.

Detail 05

55 lbs, about 30 inches wide

Heavy and wide. Measure your cab top or rack shelf before ordering.

Detail 06

Black textured vinyl with striped metal grille

Hides road wear better than the ivory version. Same amp underneath.

Final check

Know before you order
