Peavey 5150

British Bite, Legendary Lead Tone
The Peavey 5150 is a legendary high-gain tube amp, originally designed in collaboration with Eddie Van Halen, and built to deliver massive distortion, tight low end, and searing lead tones. At Rupert Street Recording, it’s a go-to for metal, hard rock, and aggressive modern guitar tones that demand clarity and power.
The 5150 became a staple in heavy music production, used by bands like Van Halen, Machine Head, and Killswitch Engage, and is revered for its ability to cut through dense mixes while retaining articulation and punch. It’s a modern classic with attitude to spare.
