Peavey 5150

120-watt two-channel valve guitar amplifier head (1992-2004)

The Peavey 5150 is a 120-watt two-channel all-valve head produced from 1992 to 2004 as Eddie Van Halen's signature amplifier, with 12AX7 preamp tubes and 6L6 power tubes driving its saturated high-gain voice. After Van Halen and Peavey parted ways in 2004 the amp was renamed the 6505. It became one of the defining metal and hard-rock amplifiers.
