Evh · amplifier
The EVH 5150 Iconic 60W 2x12 is a 60-watt all-tube guitar combo from EVH with two 12-inch speakers, delivering the 5150 high-gain character at a stage-capable wattage in a self-contained combo format. Three channels — Clean, Crunch, and Lead — cover the full EVH tonal range. The 2x12 speaker configuration provides wider frequency spread and more low-end presence than a 1x12 equivalent, making it well-suited to gigging contexts where stage presence matters.
