The EVH® 5150III® 15W LBX-S Head packs legendary tone into a diminutive 15-watt amp. A crossbreed between the LBXI and the LBXII, the seductively dark stealth LBX-S blends the Green "clean" channel with the Red "full burn" channel for a sonically diverse soundscape - from pristine cleans that soar to that sizzling modern Brit sound with high-gain attitude.
Armed with four JJ ECC83S (12AX7) preamp tubes and two JJ EL84 power tubes, this easy-to-carry lunchbox head also includes dual-concentric gain and volume controls for precise and independent control of each channel, as well as shared EQ presence and resonance controls. Dial in a crystal clean tone or turn the gain up for a bluesier counterpart on the Green channel, and hit the one-button footswitch to select the Red channel for a no-nonsense, scorching overdriven tone that sets leads ablaze with sustain for days.
Bedroom players can utilize the 1/4-power switch to reduce the head to 3.5 watts and avoid disturbing the rest of the household, while studio and live musicians can leverage this same feature to turn up the head for a squeezed and spongy tone. This amp is also equipped with dual parallel speaker output jacks, effects loop and one-button footswitch.
Boasting exceptional construction, fierce tone and distinctive style, the wildly fun LBX-S Head features a black front panel and black metal grill cage with the Stealth EVH-striped motif. Unique to the LBX-S, this head also has internal LED backlighting that illuminates the cage in either green or red to match the selected channel. And just like all Stealth models, the LBX-S has been modded to include an adjustable bias control port.

For context I own heads and combos from VHT, Soldano, Boogie, Vox, Fender, Trace Elliot and Line 6. This EVH head is an absolute gem.
The clean channel is spectacular. It’s warm and sparkly and rich. With the gain fully up you get that nice AC/DC crunch or that SRV broken clean. The EQ, Presence and Resonance make discernible adjustments to the tone.
The lead channel with the gain rolled off as far as possible starts where the clean channel left off, making this a great amp if you need a clean and crunch setup or a crunch and lead setup. As you roll on gain it just gets silly good. What impresses me is as the gain gets high the amp stays low noise, it has crazy gain when you play but if you mute your strings it’s not hissing and noisy. I can’t say enough about how awesome the range of gain this channel has, while still keeping distinct definition of each string. Even wild gain doesn’t become muddy, harmonics abound and tone is the word.
This head drives a 4x12 loud enough to play with acoustic drums being well slammed, but the crazy part is that the amp delivers tone at super low volumes without losing its character. You can play a coffee shop with your screamin style without being unreasonably loud.
So, considering how truly versatile this head is combined with elegant simplicity I would 100% say this is an essential piece of gear. It’s compact, feature rich for a toaster size head and the most important thing has spectacular “tone” in abundance. This will work in your studio apartment, the recording studio and on stages. Considering the market I think the price is more than fair for something this great. It’s no wonder it sports EVH for a logo, Eddy paid it forwards for all of us putting these out.

Upsides:
- very fun small head with a great high gain marshally sound.
-15 to 20 watts is good compromise for a little amp to make it kind of sound like a real rock head without killing you.
-Excellent home amp when cranked.
Downsides:
-lights in the head look cheesy, I just removed them (upside- the designers made this very easy and clean to do. Good thinking :)
-hate the look of the stacked gain and volume knobs for the two channels and those stacked knobs feel super cheap and turn super easily compared to the normal eq knobs on the amp which feel high quality.
-The clean channel is fine, but lots of 20 watt amps do clean better. This should be a one channel amp.
-You have to take the whole head shell off the chassis to change the tubes. Very annoying.
-You would want a more powerful amp if you are using it for high gain in a loud band. Unlike a 50 watt, you don't have much volume left on tap once you get this thing loud enough for a drummer.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
