Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Man I LOVE that first clean thing you play. What is that song? I don't know.. I was just improvising, trying to play some hendrix-y chords... it also reminds me of pearl jam's yellow leadbelly.. but I think the chords on that song are a little different, but that's vibe I was going for..

I think it was way cooler sounding than Yellow Ledbetter. Anyways...clean does sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jds22 Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 That's honestly your selling point...? Yeah, why? I love the sound of 5150s. However I don't gig anymore and the Vypyr's features would suit me better. So if it can pull of a good 6505 tone, cost less, and weigh less, I'll go for the Vypyr. If the Vypyr blows, I'll get a 5150/6505 combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CorpseTumor Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Why? The combos, even though they tend to sound better than the heads, have a couple of perceived downsides against them: Lower wattage {censored}ty speakers HEAVY as hell (and not tonally) And most guitarists just seem to be biased against combos, even though it is probably more practical for what most of us do than having a full/half stack. But the stack is the dream. i think a head and a 2x12 cab is all i need.therefore its easier to carry and looks cool. plus you can practically mix and match heads and cabs,and get speakers of your choice. threadstarter:thats some nice playing man.nice tone too.

Members TheGreatGreen Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Maybe I'm biased, but I like the head better than the combo. It's voiced differently than the combo as well. It's not just biased differently. They gave it a different sound than the head. The head has more balls IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just biased differently. They gave it a different sound than the head. The head has more balls IMO. I actually agree with you that the head sounds better. But my main rig is a Mesa MkIII head and a 4x12 with greenbacks AND a fender twin for cleans. I love it but it is becoming too much of a hassle to carry it to certain gigs. I also have a Mesa DC10, Marshall JCM900 and DSL50 heads so I am pretty set as far as amp heads go. So I wanted something that would give me a heavy tone, a decent clean and reverb in a small package. The 5150 fit the bill nicely, although I am really wanting to get the legacy combo now, I think the distortion of the 5150 is a little too heavy for my taste.
