It looks exactly like the ones they had in the MG wFX units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture looks like it's the whole circuit. The digital reverb will be being dealt with by the little group of black squares under the blue ribbon cable towards the bottom right of the picture.

Members sleewell Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Timmy, nerine said he didn't like the knobs - maybe you should go with that angle instead. The charveldan like hating of Vietnam is quite lulzy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the bundle of blue wires going from fx loop to the daughter board. The board doesn't stand out too well as the picture angle makes it appear to be part of the main board.

A guy on the craigslist wants $800 for his old one claiming a new one is $1500. What a tool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 build quality of the original one.... less ribbon cables? LOLit's not any better. Actually, it's a lot worse, they seem to hold up well though. But the new amp is definitely a cleaner build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KCTigerChief Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 Originally Posted by timmyfirst Not the same amp, i've seen them both opened up and theres a lot of differences! There seems to be a lot more ribbon cable and chip looking things inside of the newer one, along with the digital reverb. Chassis mounted tube sockets are a design improvement for sure, but the actual pcb's are thinner. To me the new DSL sounds like an amp voiced to sound like an old DSL. I can make the old DSL sound identical to the new one by dialling it in badly, but the new one just doesnt have the feel or sound of the old one. Some people may prefer it, it does seem to generate a bit more low end, but the DSL 50 i had sitting next to it buried it when running them together. I'm sure it'll be a huge success, the JVM was and i think that tripe too! You're an idiot Seen them both opened up huh?Yeah...sure you have...That much is obvious Next you're going to tell us you took a multimeter to every component and verified that every value of component is different too, right? I mean, that would be the only explanation for it sounding as terrible as you say...Yup...idiot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember mine being that messy, but I do miss it.I will be getting another one, but I will find a way to mod it so the classic clean and gain are foot switchable. I just use the green channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 I wish peavey would make a {censored}ing 15 watt 5150 with 6v6 power tubes. Id buy that real {censored}ing fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the people that buy 5150s are bedroom players anyway. I dont need a 95 fucking pound 212 combo or a 65 pound 112 at 60 watts for jamming in my house.

I just use the green channel. Mine was that messy. I had plenty of opportunity staring at my boards, cables, etc. when I installed a power choke. Those damn cables made it really fun to work on... I took pictures of where they connected and labeled each one with masking tape and color coded them to their connector so that they went back to the right spots.If that picture of the new one is really that clean, damn, that would have been a lot easier to work with! Also, it looks like they have significantly reduced the amount of PCB in the newer build... Really makes me wonder how close these two amps really are.Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
