Eddie Van Halen Demos the 5150IIIS
from EVH GEAR

When Eddie Van Halen wanted a rig with “more gas in the tank,” we delivered in the form of the loud and lethal 5150IIIS. Custom-modded to suit EVH’s evolving tastes, this powerful all-tube head is packed with new features for tailoring your low end, including new independent rear resonance controls and increased gain on channels two and three.

In this video, the legendary guitarist puts the 5150IIIS’ deep bass contour and seamless switching to the test. Experience this seething addition to EVH’s own touring arsenal, with a “blackout” cosmetic treatment inspired by his main Wolfgang® guitar.

Watch Eddie Van Halen Shred in Fiery Gear Demo
Legendary guitarist tears through licks from “Hot for Teacher” and “Dance the Night Away”
By Brittany Spanos March 18, 2015

Eddie Van Halen is continuing to make it even easier for fans to at least come close to imitating his iconic riffs. In a new demo video, the founder and legendary guitarist of Van Halen tests out the 5150IIIS amp head, which recently joined the EVH Gear family at Fender, by playing some of his most iconic riffs, from songs like “Hot for Teacher” and “Dance the Night Away.”

While testing out the gear, Van Halen also showcases the subtle differences between the 5150IIIS and its predecessor the 5150III. The latest version of the amp head was born out of the guitarist’s desire to have a little “more gas in the tank” before his band’s 2012 tour. With his EVH Fender team, he saw his suggested circuit modification’s come to life in what he calls a “turbo-charged” version of the original amp head.
