Members plastic Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I have a chance to pick up a 5150 2x12. I had a 5150 head when they first came out that I thought was pretty good. Any differences in tone between the head and combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bktele989 Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Supposedly the combos sound better, I believe they are 60 watt instead of 100. Rbasaria should chime in here pretty soon,I believe he put v30s in it and gets great tone from his, I'm looking for the clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seantz Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I owned one not too long ago. I agree that they do sound better than the heads. Speaker swap is a must though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ENdtime Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've had mine since they came out.. Still use it all the time.. I think they are great amps.. Loud enough to play with a band, yet still can get great lower volume tone too.. They do differ from the head version.. The rhythm channel is a more Marshall style high gain on the combo, but of course its still pretty brutal. The lead channel on the combo is not quite as fat as the heads.. Of course at louder volumes the combo's output transformer saturates much quicker than the 120 watt heads do... Ive made numerous clips.. Here is some fast stuffhttp://wosmusic666.googlepages.com/Angst3.mp3 and some slowhttp://www.netmusicians.org/files/93-counting%20haze-01.mp3 Here is also a clip I did comparing speakers (the g12h30 Anniversary vs the Heritage G12h30) This is the rhythm channel with a 7 string..http://wosmusic666.googlepages.com/G12h30smix.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
