Hello!

I´m new to the forums. I´m looking to buy a second hand EVH 5150 III 50W, but the one I have in mind has black knobs, and I never saw a model that came that way (usually they come with white knobs). Is it possible to be some kind of fake? I don´t think so, but I wanted to be sure before I buy it.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, Patog!
I'm not able to answer your question, but here are your pics.

I've read elsewhere that there are retrofit kits available to convert the older models to the newer concentric gain knobs from authorized service centers.

I'm not sure they are available outside the states or Canada.

Thank you for the pics! I hope someone can give an answer regarding that amp!

It looks original, but I have never seen those knobs.

Little search with google ; Black knobs use EL34 tubes, white Knobs use 6L6
