Detail 01
100 watts through four 6L6 tubes
6L6s stay tight and bright as they push. Plenty of headroom before the power section starts to compress.

EVH5150III 100W 3-Channel Tube Guitar Amp Head Ivory
rockhard rock
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
100W tube head built around four 6L6s and three channels. For players who need real stage volume and a bright, tight high-gain voice.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud stages where a 100W head has to cut through a band
- Players who want three separate voices without an external switcher
- Rigs already built around a 4x12 cab and pedalboard
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bedroom players — 100W of 6L6 power is far past apartment volume
- Anyone needing a self-contained amp; this head has no speaker
- Players wanting a clean-first amp for pedals to color
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.
Detail 02
Eight 12AX7 preamp tubes
Gain and voicing happen in the preamp, so the distortion character stays consistent at any master volume.
Detail 03
Three channels
Clean, crunch and lead each hold their own settings. No pedal juggling to change voices mid-set.
Detail 04
Four-button footswitch included
Channel switching and effects loop control from the floor, so you don't pay extra for a switcher.
Detail 05
55 lbs, roughly 30 inches wide
Two-hand lift and a wide footprint. Check that your rack shelf or cab top actually fits it.
Detail 06
Ivory textured vinyl with striped metal grille
The light covering shows scuffs and finger marks more than black. A cover is worth having.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No speaker in the box — you need a cab and a speaker cable
- 02Use a speaker cable, never an instrument cable, between head and cab
- 03Tubes are consumables; budget for a retube and bias service eventually
Product questions
