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 combi-
nations of speaker voicing and
cabinet construction were scruti-
nized 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-con-
tained 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.
