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
• LED "active" indicators for each channel
