Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 Did you want the combo? I almost jumped on this one:http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/msg/701458209.html yeah I already have too many heads ... I'm trying to find a real good high gain tube combo so I can stop carrying my 1/2 to gigs... I think this might be the one, I can't wait to test it with the band on Saturday!!

Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 well, good luck with it, i never hear good things after about six months. but usually the last 5 months are just the owners convincing themselves that they like the sound it is making. I'm pretty sure I can break even if I ever need to sell it, but I've had god experience with Peavey amps, I used to have a Classic 50 head and I loved it.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 I will give the clones a try if I feel that there is something missing with the stock amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mavesicles Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm thinking of getting a 6505 combo. 6505's are the same as 5150's, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Saturnine10 Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 With stock tubes, hi gain input and full pre-gain on lead channel, its feedback/mess/mush city for sure. Can the combos handle high volumes without becoming a mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtchc1978 Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 Can the combos handle high volumes without becoming a mess? Yeah, they hold up fine. No problem in a mix with a loud drummer. But higher volume is where the stock speakers start to show their weak points. At lower volumes the stock speakers don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mavesicles Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 With stock tubes, hi gain input and full pre-gain on lead channel, its feedback/mess/mush city for sure.I'm not familiar with the controls on the 5150/6505 combos. Is the pre gain essentially the gain knob? And wtf is post gain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 With stock tubes, hi gain input and full pre-gain on lead channel, its feedback/mess/mush city for sure. but WHO would use full pre gain on the lead channel??? That's just insanity!!! I am getting ALL the gain I need with the gain set to 5 !!! That just reinforce my impression that a lot of the bad reviews are due to user error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StoneM Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 Great {censored}in amp dude you will love it screw these guys that say it sucks they are preps, (I would love a bogner too but they are not $450) change the tubes and speakers. My main bitch was the clean channel and the weight of the thing, it's a backbreaker. P.S. get an EQ pedal and never look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StoneM Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 Also you can order the channel switch for $40 from peavey but it's plastic, I bought an old marshall channel pedal and gutted it and put the 5150 pedal guts in it so it was solid.

I used a 2 button Marshall footswitch not too long ago. I didn't like it because it didn't have LEDS and I didn't know if I was on the right channel (using some other dudes amp for a show) And I could hardly hear myself.
