EVH 5150III 100S - Clean preset

Verified · 93/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The 5150III 100S is the 2013 production version of the modified 5150III 100-watt heads Eddie Van Halen took on tour, built by Fender. Clean, Crunch and Lead channels each have gain, volume, presence and three-band EQ, with a resonance control per channel on the back. Crunch and Lead get more gain than the original 5150III, Crunch is re-voiced for firmer low mids, and eight 12AX7s drive four 6L6s.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
