Members Johnny'sGotTheBlues Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 Except for the first POS amp I owned, they were all pretty much equal. It was me not knowing how to use an amp correctly or (more often) buying the wrong amp for the application. For example, me being pissed that a Roland JC-120 wouldn't scream like a wound out Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ciccero Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I saw a good number of listings for 5150 I and not too many of the 5150 III. Is there something that makes the 5150 I's better? May just be they have been around and the III's are new. I am really interested in getting a 5150, just wondered if there are any better or worse than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rushtallica Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I saw a good number of listings for 5150 I and not too many of the 5150 III. Is there something that makes the 5150 I's better? May just be they have been around and the III's are new. I am really interested in getting a 5150, just wondered if there are any better or worse than the others.Probably most (like myself) haven't owned a III to compare. I prefer some of the clips of the 5150 and 6505+ distortion but would like to play a III sometime to compare with the I and II I own/owned. A bit of a side note, but everything is subjective. Some may be hardcore fanbois of certain brands/models. Some may equate better with cost. Some may not have owned some of the amps in their lists for hardly any length of time (some of the more hardcore gear flippers even sometimes resell an amp before they receive it ). And some may be brutally honest but have certain tones or playing styles in mind that others may not have for the same amps. And some are going to have ideas about tones that relate well with many but not everyone. Even when a genre like metal is described as what the amp excels or sucks at, someone preferring metal such as Meshuggah won't like an amp that's geared more towards something someone else might prefer that's geared towards something like Megadeth or doom metal. I try to be honest and believe most others are, as well, but even with my own gear that 100% satisfied me for a while, I may get into playing something different and end up not liking the same amp much because it doesn't really cover what I want as well as something else can. That happened to me with the original 5150 as well as Peavey Ultra Plus when I wanted more organic/warmer/vintage-ish high gain tones that can be better had with a JMP. Or there'll be GAS that kicks in for that all-elusive best tone or best amp for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted February 6, 2012 Members Share Posted February 6, 2012 I don't even know where to start so many {censored}ing amps. I think the ones I'd rate higher are the Mesa Mark III, Laney GH100L, Marshall 2210 and the Randall Cyclone. Then the JCA100H for being the best new tube amp in it's price class.
