Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
EVH’s 5150III 50W EL34 head puts clean, crunch, and lead channels in one 50-watt tube amplifier. Each channel has its own gain and volume control, with shared EQ on channels one and two and dedicated EQ on channel three. Global presence and resonance adjust the overall high- and low-frequency response. An effects loop, preamp out, MIDI input, parallel speaker outputs, line out, headphone jack, and included footswitch make it ready for channel changes, cabinet routing, recording, and silent practice.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing clean, crunch, and lead sounds during a set with the included footswitch.
- Recording with the line out or practicing silently using its headphone jack.
- Running multiple cabinets from the head’s parallel speaker outputs in a stage rig.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who specifically need 100 watts rather than this head’s 50-watt tube output.
