Members GRAF Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 I came here with it because you all are the amp people, you know the tone I'm looking for. That swooshy "pump" sound that the 5150 makes when cranked, that constantly ripped distortion. I know that without pushing sound through tubes there is no exact copy to be had, but I was hoping there is something out there made to give a pretty accurate copy of the sound. Is there????

Members JonathanD Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 Probably...10 Boss Metal Zones hooked together with distortion on max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weathered Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'd say that the Soldano GTO pedal might get you close, or the Boss Metal Core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ericwylde Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 boss metalcore sounds exactly like boss hyper metal to me nothing new spend $200 in a peavey rockmaster and put it under your other pedals maybe a peavey dirty dog pedal... but it probably sounds like a peavey bandit, maybe something close to peavey xxl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MetalHed Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 The only pedal I have ever heard/used that got even remotely close to the sound of my 5150 is the Line 6 Ubermetal on the "Pulverize" setting. Set up correctly and pushed through the right amp, it can pass for a mediocre impression of a 5150. There's still nothing like the real thing....

Members oolaef Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 brilliant! seriously i have no idea how 'swooshy pump' translates into a sound coming from a guitar amp lol!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 i have no idea how 'swooshy pump' translates into a sound coming from a guitar amp lol!? Exactly. If you want the sound of a 5150, get a 5150. Or, go play at least 3 other amps and realize that in actuality, no one should ever want a 5150. If you're shopping dirt pedals, get a Blackstone and enjoy the sounds it makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would LOVE to get a nice fat 5150 setup, seriously, they don't cost THAT much, it's just I live in an apartment. I'm looking for a pedal I can run into my VOX AD30VT and use headphones.I know very well there are tons of better amps on the market, but to my ears, the 5150 is the one I want. Eventually I have a nice setup too, full cab or something. But for now, I have to stick to alternitive solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that without pushing sound through tubes there is no exact copy to be had, but I was hoping there is something out there made to give a pretty accurate copy of the sound. Is there???? The closest I've come to it with a pedal is the Zoom Driver 5000. They're no longer made, but you can find them on ebay fairly often; it you don't see one one day, check a week later. I've previously bought 2 from fellow forumites over time. They're compressed-sounding but are also definitely thick and heavy-sounding and not like the tinny canned-in bee sound the Metal Zone gets. When I had my 5150, I put the Driver into the clean channel and got a fairly close but more compressed sound, but keep in mind that running it into the 5150 at all may have had some influence. And it sounded fairly similar when running into the clean channel of my Ultra Plus amp.And you ain't no n00b~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking for help here. even if you hadn't said that you weren't a usual around these parts, that statement alone would give it away.on any given thread there is only a 17% chance that you'll actually get a serious answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
