5150® II

Tube Guitar Amplifier

Congratulations on your purchase of the all new 5150® II. Peavey’s continuous design collaboration with guitar icon and legend, Edward Van Halen, has produced yet another feature-packed, monster guitar head. Like the original 5150 head, the 5150 II offers two channels. However, the 5150 II adds separate EQ, Resonance, and Presence controls to each channel, giving you more control and flexibility. The new footswitch provides foot control of channel selection, effects loop, and the newly added ability to select the Crunch feature. Now you can instantly obtain that extra gain in the Rhythm Channel with your foot and never have to take your hand off the guitar. Finally, the Clean Channel has been added, completely redesigned to sound much cleaner, and has one 12AX7 devoted to just the Clean/Crunch.

The following guide explains these features and how to operate each one in order to obtain your desired sound. We recommend that you read this manual carefully, paying close attention to any warnings or cautions.

•Two distinct tube channels with footswitch control
