I'm interested in seeing what others similiar to the style i play are using setting wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Lead channel: pre-7, low-5, mid-7, high-7.2, post-2-3. resonance-5.5, presence-5.5. I have found this to give the 5150 II the most brutal tone achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still dont understand how you get saturation with the gain only on 5. that is just too low for brutal modern metal tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boost beefs it up a lot, and i dont know. I get a heavy sound out of my setup. On a day i feel like playing a little more sloppy ill juice up the drive on my TS808 a little. But i never have gone past 6 on the 5150's gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 On the 5150, 5 is plenty of gain, but the 5150IIs have less. My gear is in my sig. mesa 4x12 recto cab. all my guitars have emg 81's in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 5150GSX Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Lead channel obviously with a 5150 cab . . . I also run a wet/dry/wet setup. Gain - 5.8 Bass - 6.2 Mids - 8.1 Highs - 6.9 Volume - hopefully above 3 Res - 3.5 Pres - 7.9 The 5150 cab is fairly dark and I like a lot of bite to my sound.

Same cabinets same setup. Sounded alot different.the tubes could be it, but his amp was very hissy, noisey, and more trebley. Mine was more smooth and had a nicer lead tone to it and chunk to it.

A lot more gainey. my 6505+ has a better mid voicing, and the low end is a lot tigheter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tomresurrection Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 Mark, for this cliphttp://dl.mp3lizard.com/megadeth7684/Intro-5150.mp3 Do you remember your settings, and what cabinet/guitar setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same setup I listed above (Caparison/EMG85, Uberkab, OD808) and I believe the settings were pretty similar. I might have bumped up the bass/resonance a bit since there's no palm mutes in that song, but for the most part, pretty much the same as what I posted.

Lead channel:Pre Gain - 5Low - 7Mid - 4High - 7Resonance - 4Presence - 6That's pretty close to Throwdown. Although I refuse to call them a hardcore band anymore. They only tour with metal bands now, and could give a {censored} less about hardcore and hardcore kids. the music is just breakdown after breakdown...gets really boring really fast. Although I did like their latest effort....Vendetta was a fun record the first few spins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
