The EVH 5150 Iconic 40W 1x12 combo in black is a 40-watt all-tube guitar combo from EVH, designed to deliver the 5150 high-gain character at a more accessible price. Three channels — Clean, Crunch, and Lead — cover the full EVH range from clean headroom through the signature tight, aggressive lead tone. The 1x12 combo configuration provides a portable, self-contained format. Eddie Van Halen voiced the 5150 Iconic series as an affordable entry point to the EVH amplifier line.
