EV Panama Blue (EVH 5150III 100 6L6 Blue channel)
Released With Helix Version 3.80
The EVH 100-Watt 5150III 6L6 amplifier is a high-gain powerhouse designed for serious players who seek a versatile yet aggressive tone. Built to capture Eddie Van Halen's iconic sound, this amp offers three channels: clean, crunch, and lead, each with distinct character and gain stages, making it adaptable for a range of genres from classic rock to heavy metal.
This model is for the amp's Blue channel, known for delivering a dynamic, mid-gain "crunch" tone. It’s a favorite for hard rock and classic rock players who want a rich, punchy overdrive that sits between clean and high gain. With a warm, defined character and ample gain for rhythm playing or light lead work, the blue channel is versatile—it can go from gritty, responsive break-up to a thicker, saturated drive, depending on gain settings. Many players consider it ideal for riffing, blues, and mid-gain rock, as it retains articulation without the intense compression found in the higher-gain red channel.
