The legendary 5150
®
sound of Edward Van
Halen
is now available in both stack
and combo. With Rhythm and
Lead channels voiced personally
by Edward Van Halen, the 5150
120 watt top features all-tube
pre- and power amps. Combined
with 5150 Straight and 5150
Slant cabinets, this stack supplies
big, muscular tone at any volume
level. Months of rigorous testing,
many combinations of speaker
voicing and cabinet construction
were scrutinized and discarded
before the ultimate combination
emerged.
Now, the new 5150 212 Combo
joins the 5150 amp stack, afford-
ing the recording guitarist or
club player the same signature
tone and drive in a compact,
self-contained package.
The development of the 5150
212 Combo was no less
intense than that of the stack.
Numerous prototypes were
built and tweaked until the final
combo kicked and screamed with
fury only a stack could attain. At 60 watts, the all-tube 5150 212 Combo
speaks through two of the same Sheffield
™
1200 speakers found only in
the 5150 4 x 12 cabinets. The addition of reverb adds a new dimension
to the 5150’s exceptional tone.
