EVH Announces the 5150IIIS 100S EL34 and Wolfgang Special Models

The EL34 power tubes deliver smoother contours and greater sag and saturation.

Scottsdale, AZ (June 23, 2016) -- EVH is proud to announce the all-new 5150IIIS 100S EL34 Head and matching 5150IIIS EL34 412ST Cabinet, as well as two new models to its Wolfgang Special lineup.

Experience classic EL34 tone —the sound that helped power Eddie Van Halen’s ground-breaking work on his earliest Van Halen albums —and lethal gold and black looks in the ferocious new EVH 5150IIIS 100S EL34 Head./p>

The EL34 power tubes deliver smoother contours, and greater sag and saturation that evoke a more modern “British” sound, all with more sustain and versatility than ever before. Channel one boasts an even finer clear-and-compressed clean tone, while channels two and three now possess even more compression and saturation.

Other features include a rear-panel Resonance control section that tailors low-frequency response for each channel and a bias testing and adjustment port that allows for fine-tuning the tubes with more ease than ever.

To complement the 5150IIIS 100S EL34 Head, EVH is adding the 5150IIIS EL34 412ST Cabinet. This 100-watt, 16 ohm matching black with gold trim straight-front 412 cabinet features a rock solid birch construction, signature Celestion G12EVH speakers, EVH casters and recessed metal handles.

Coming October 2016.

EVH Wolfgang Special, El Natural

Road-tested in arenas around the world, the Wolfgang Special is a familiar purebred music-making machine, but a new and elegant El Natural finish richly accented by tobacco-stained back and sides with a matching natural headstock makes its grand entrance for summer 2016.
