EDDIE VAN HALEN is continuing to make it even easier for fans to at least come close to imitating his iconic riffs. In a new demo video, the founder and legendary guitarist of VAN HALEN tests out the 5150IIIS amp head, which recently joined the EVH Gear family at Fender, by playing some of his most iconic riffs, from songs like 'Hot for Teacher' and 'Dance The Night Away'.

While testing out the gear, VAN HALEN also showcases the subtle differences between the 5150IIIS and its predecessor the 5150III. The latest version of the amp head was born out of the guitarist's desire to have a little "more gas in the tank" before his band's 2012 tour. With his EVH Fender team, he saw his suggested circuit modification's come to life in what he calls a "turbo-charged" version of the original amp head.
