EVH® 5150 ICONIC® 6L6 40-WATT 1×12 COMBO
The 5150 Iconic tube amplifier series is designed to capture many of Edward Van Halen’s iconic guitar tones in a single amplifier. These simple and easy- to-use two-channel tube amplifiers accomplish many tonal variations from the EVH 5150III® series, as well as adding some heavier classic 5150® flavors using the overdrive and burn tone switches on channels one and two respectively. Many modern gig-friendly features have also been added, including a built-in noise gate on channel two, front-panel resonance and presence controls, a quarter-power switch, a foot-switchable solo boost, and an analog-speaker-emulated XLR output for connecting directly to external sound reinforcement and recording equipment.
TOP PANEL
A. INPUT: Plugin an instrument here. Use only a high-quality shielded
instrument cable.
B. CHANNEL ONE/TWO SELECT: Pushbutton selects channel one (low-medium
gain, green LED) or channel two (high gain, red LED). The feet override this
button when connected to amplifier.
C. CHANNEL ONE GAIN: Preamp gains control for low-medium gain on channel
one.
Higher settings increase preamp distortion.
D. OVERDRIVE SELECT: Sets gain and resets voicing on channel one from
clean to medium distortion.
E. CHANNEL TWO GAIN: Preamp gains control for high gain on channel two.
Higher settings increase preamp distortion.
F. BURN SELECT: Sets gain and resets voicing in channel two from high
gain to heavier and thicker distortion.
G. NOISE GATE: Reduces noise and tightens attack on channel two only.
H. LOW/MID/HIGH EQ: Shared passive low-, middle- and high-frequency tone
controls.
I. CHANNEL ONE/CHANNEL TWO VOLUME: Post-preamp volume controls for each
channel.
Note: For cleaner sound from channel one, set this volume control higher and
keep channel one gain control (C) lower.
J. BOOST VOLUME: Footswitchable master volume boost. Set channel volumes
first (I), then use this post-effects loop control to set solo volume.
Footswitch boosts input gain even when this control is turned fully
counterclockwise. Note that BOOST VOLUME is only activated using the included
footswitch.
K. REVERB: Adjusts reverb level for both channels (post effects loop).
L. RESONANCE: Adjusts power amp low-frequency response by selectively
adjusting damping factor.
M. PRESENCE: Adjusts ultra-high frequency tone control for both channels
by selectively adjusting the damping factor.
REAR PANEL
N. POWER INPUT: Connect included power cord to the amplifier here, in
accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings listed on the rear panel of
the amplifier. Power input’s integral fuse holder houses a spare fuse. Replace
only with a fuse of the same current and voltage rating as printed on the back
of the amplifier.
O. POWER: Turns amplifier on and off. After turning this switch ON, wait
30 seconds for tubes to warm up, then turn STANDBY switch (P) to ON to take
the amp out of STANDBY mode. When turning the amplifier off, place the amp in
STANDBY mode by turning the STANDBY switch OFF for 10 seconds before turning
the POWER switch OFF.
P. STANDBY: Place this switch in the OFF position to put the amplifier in
STANDBY mode. This should be done when taking a break from playing or before
turning the amplifier off. Using STANDBY mode prolongs tube life.
Q. POWER LEVEL SWITCH: Select full (40W) or 1/4 (10W) power.
R. POWER AMP MUTE SWITCH: Mutes power amplifier when engaged, enabling
speaker-emulated XLR output for quiet recording. When the mute is engaged, the
amplifier can be operated with no speaker connected; however, note that a
speaker should be connected when the power amp mute is not in use.
S. SPEAKER EMULATED XLR: For connecting amplifier directly to sound
reinforcement or recording equipment. The Speaker emulator circuit changes the
amp’s tone to match the speaker’s contribution to the overall amp tone. The
feature is designed to sound like the 5150 Iconic 4X12 speaker cabinet, using
analog circuitry to avoid latency or lag.
T. XLR GROUND LIFT SWITCH: For alleviating ground loop hum when connected
to sound reinforcement or recording equipment.
U. PREAMP OUTPUT: For connection to effects return or power amp input on
another amplifier for simultaneous multiple amp use. Also used to send preamp
signal directly to a mixer.
V. EFFECTS LOOP: Connect SEND to external effect input; connect RETURN to
external effect output. Effects RETURN can also be used as an input for an
auxiliary preamp bypassing this amplifier’s preamp, while still allowing the
use of foot-switchable BOOST VOLU control (J) for increased volume when
soloing. When connected, the footswitch disables the front-panel CHANNEL
ONE/TWO SELECT pushbutton (B).
X. LOAD IMPEDANCE: Selects amp output impedance (4, 8, or 16 ohms) to
match speaker load.
NOTE: If using the recommended 5150 Iconic 4X12 speaker enclosure, set
the switch to “16Ω.”
Y. SPEAKER OUTPUTS: For connection to speaker cabinet(s). Either jack can
be used when using only one speaker cabinet. Use only high-quality unshielded
speaker cables. NOTE: A speaker must always be plugged into one of the
speaker jacks when the amplifier is on and POWER AMP MUTE SWITCH (S) is
disengaged, or damage may occur. Turn the amplifier off or put it in STANDBY
mode when changing speaker connections or impedance settings.
