Members DirtyBird Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 This is how I used to set mine back when I was all about the EQ in the loop. I cut the 200s a tad and the 800s a tad. I just play straight through these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KsE fan Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 I get awesome sounds out of my 5150 with no pedals are nothing.

Members KsE fan Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 When I had a 5150, I discovered one amazing tweak to make the "fizz" go away entirely and make the amp roar like MAD: Turn the volume UP! It's a 120W tube amp, people! Of course a super, super high gain modern tube amp will sound fizzy at bedroom volumes. Turn the Post volume past 5, at least, and you'll be in a whole new realm of awesomeness. past 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted August 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 probably 250hz, as it's a low mid frequency Yes sorry, I meant hz not khz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KsE fan Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hey noobs, is the dan electro fish and chips decent?(it has no 250.. but has 200, is that too far from 250 or still good?) *edit* I'm looking now and most 7 bands go from 200 to 400, the mxr 10 band hits 250 right on the dick.

A little delay and noise suppression in the loop.Doo eeet.Oh yeah... Greenback reissues in the cab.Dark and meaty like Grandma's pot roast. I'm pretty close to this.

I think the big question in this thread is how do you set up your cleans?? I always have the bright switch in, sometimes i leave the crunch out with the pre on 2-3 and post around 5-6 or the crunch in with the pre on 1 and post on 4-5. Lately I've been digging just using the neck pup on my LP with the volume pot low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesymetal Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 I might try using the parametric eq in the replifex to take out the 250hz like you guys are saying, but won't that take away a little of the thickness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KsE fan Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 This is a great, and cheap EQ... friend uses it for his ampeg bass rig but it can be used for guitar, for a PA... anything and there's LOTS of optionshttp://cachepe.samedaymusic.com/media/quality,85/brand,sameday/dbx131-f86fe6fd226d05718938421e6c619c03.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KsE fan Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 What's wrong with that? If you can, then why the fuck not? maybe it's the old tubes but anything past 3.5 on the post on mine starts to sound worse oh well... I simply said that because I already know people are gonna say "that sounds like shit hahhaa jew are a noob!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mavesicles Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 maybe it's the old tubes but anything past 3.5 on the post on mine starts to sound worse oh well... You can get away with playing probably almost anywhere on 3.5, but I would go to 5 if I could. And I would say without hesitation that it's your tubes, because tube amps only get better the louder they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya it's the tubes for sure... you don't even have to play loud dude! post on 2 in my room is like the loudest I go when parents are home... post on 2 in an open room like my living room is sooo loud just because the rooms bigger LOL. I remember when I saw KsE's post gain on there 5150's live (picture that I have now lost ) it was 2 and a half... I guess it's a live show thing, my friends bands play on like 3 or 4 at bars... but when they played a bigger show with bring me the horizon they also played on 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nerol1st Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 People are constantly looking for their 5150/6505 settings. I am going to give them to you, along with a big secret that will make your peavey sound a LOT better.First of all, go by yourself a damn EQ pedal. I don't care if its a boss, MXR, or whatever, but go buy one. You put this pedal in your fx loop.Now, take that pedal, and suck out some of the frequency that is closest to 250 hz. This is going to clear the amp right up, make it sound less boxy and cloudy/congested. Also, feel free to bump the slider all the way on the left up a bit and it will make your pants shake when you mute.Onto the amp settings.If you are using a nice hot pickup, in the realm of a Dimarzio evo, duncan distortion, emg 81 etc, you don't need that much gain.Lead channels, UNBOOSTED5150/6505Pre Gain: 4-4.5low: 6Mid: 6Treble: 6Resonance: 6-7Presence: 5-7Post to taste. 5150II/6505+Pre gain: 5.5-6low: 6.5mid: 6treble: 6resonance: 7presence: 5-7post to taste.Run this {censored} through a vintage 30 cab, i don't care what kind. G12-t75s work nicely too. I suppose these newly revered G12k100s would be good too.Voilanow go try this and report back. The exact same settings I run except I prefer a little less mids (like on 5 or so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITROHOLIC Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 you see KSE when you become a man. . . . wait. . . . when you get a boyfriend that will buy you two a house youll be able to turn it up past 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, it just makes the amp sound a LOT less boxy, and also allows you to hear a few other subleties that you otherwise have a harder time hearing. It refines the tone a bit as well.

Why would I turn it up to five anyways, read what I said. "it sounds bad after 4 or 5" was my quote I believe and firggen 3.5 is WELL LOUD enough. My tubes need to be replaced because they're old... even when they do change I'm not going past 4 Turn it up to 6 if you want bro, your dick will still be half that size in inches.

Members Derelict Posted August 27, 2009 Members Share Posted August 27, 2009 I see a new HCAF trend in the near future. Besides wouldn't turning it up that high result in power tube saturation which isn't desirable in metal? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows where the tubes saturate but it's kind of similar to SS clipping that's why I only turn up my Bandit to 4 (which is loud enough for most situations). But if you're turning up a 5150 past 5 I really can't imagine what situation you're in that calls for that. I tried it on Post 2 and holy shite it's loud!
