PV Panama (Peavey® 5150®)

PV Panama, the Helix model of a Peavey® 5150®

Featuring two channels, a 120 watt all-tube 6L6 power section and a shared EQ, the 5150 was able to produce a variety of rock and metal tones. The rhythm channel could be set clean or crunchy, but the lead channel is what this amp is famous for. With its super high-gain sound, it could be used for anything from tight and aggressive metal riffs to blistering lead tones. This led to the 5150 II with separate EQs for each channel, which made the amp even more versatile. In 2004, EVH parted ways with Peavey and the amp was rebranded as the 6505 and 6505+.

Green Day Brain Stew

I made this patch to play along to Brain Stew Stem files. Did a little research on the internet and came across Wampler's video where he works out that tone. He uses the EVH 5150 MXR pedal. I figured, that's just trying to emulate the amp we have in Helix so why not just use the PV Panama :D I think it worked well. I turned up the noise gate to get that tight tone for the chords.I hope you enjoy and would love any feedback you have.

5150 Crunch Lead Wah

Super fun 5150 patch... not for chugging but is a great hard rock patch. It has 3 snapshots... 1. Rhythm 2. Lead 3. Lead with auto wah. This was made with my PowerCab Plus using a York Audio IR so you will need to keep that in mind. Enjoy!!!

Extra Power Cable for your HX Stomp

I've been using one of these power supplies permanently zip-tied to my pedalboard, and it's been very handy to keep the original power supply around for off-board usage. Plus it's cheap and works well.
