The amp that redefined modern rock tone.
Hand-built in the USA & born from Eddie Van Halen’s pursuit of perfection, the original Peavey 5150 Signature Headfrom the script-logo era remains one of the most iconic high-gain designs ever produced.
This 120-watt, all-tube beast houses four 6L6GC power tubes & five 12AX7 preamp tubes, voiced through four cascading gain stages inspired by the legendary Soldano SLO-100. Currently running its original factory tubes, which are due for replacement or rebiasing for optimal performance. The result: glassy cleans, punchy midrange crunch, & the unmistakable searing saturation that became EVH’s calling card.
Dual independent Rhythm & Lead channels each feature Pre-Gain & Post-Gain controls for precision shaping, while a switchable post-EQ effects loop integrates effortlessly with your rig. Presence & Resonance dials offer nuanced control over top-end bite & low-end response.
Built like a tank with a steel chassis, ply enclosure wrapped in black tolex, & a metal grille bearing Eddie’s signature script—this head is as visually timeless as it is sonically lethal.
