Members zer0psi Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 The 212 combo is just it for me. Comes with a warmer bias than the head, and after new tubes and speakers, it'll be perfect. I also love my 5150II/6505+ (would love to get one of those too). Peavey just did it for me on these amps...and I'm not even a metalhead. Anyone else feel this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sixtonoize Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 No. Nobody in the entire world really likes the 5150 series. ... Nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elemenope Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I love mine for metal. I have the 6505+ head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Small Stone Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think it sounds great! The rythm guitars on my band's album have all been recorded with a cranked 5150 2X12 combo (loud as hell!). And we're not even a metal band!

Members OverDriven Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I like my 6505+ better than I liked my Mark IV, Egnater TOL100, Dave Bray modded JCM800 and any other "high end" stuff I've owned. My very first tube amp was a 5150II about 10 years ago. Funny how things come full circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Murdoch Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I am EXTREMELY happy with my 6505+ 1x12. Lots of great dirt tones in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MyEmergency Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I REALLY liked my 5150 but honestly I sold it and went back the Mesa Triple Rec, and for me it does what the 5150 does but a bit better, I just love the tone of any of the rec series single/dual/triple doesn't really matter.

Members again with this Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 Loved my 5150 since '94 when I bought it new. Although, my Recto Rig is my main these days. I end up dialing them to sound VERY close to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flyingrhoads Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've heard great tones from them, and several of my friends have them and even those sound great, but they just don't really do it for me... I love the grindy mid tone, but too many people have them so that just kind of ruins it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JesusCrisp Posted September 13, 2011 Members Share Posted September 13, 2011 They just don't do it for me. The Lead channel sounds mighty, br00tal, etc. which is cool, but the cleans are pretty meh and the crunch seems a bit lifeless to me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong though.
