I tried these today in a band situation with the other guitarist playing a triple rectifier... and it sounded sweet.

 

6505+ boosted with an Ibanez TS808 re-issue

 

Lead Channel:

pre: 6.5

low: 7.5

mid: 4

high: 4.5

post: 3.5

res: 8

pres: 5.5

 

Very unearth type rhythm tone, and in flames sounding lead tone. Sounded sweet.

The two amps together sound very good.

 

IMO, i think the 6505+ owns it in overall raw balls sound. It has a sweet grind to it that the mids take a big part in.

 

With the triple recto, has a really really boomy low end. but it gets lost in the mix sometimes and really lacks in mids.

 

But i think in a band situation overall, they really are great together.

Hi-Input

 

Rythym channel.

 

Crunch: in

 

Bright: out

 

Gain: 6.5

 

Bass: 4.5

 

mids: 6

 

Highs: 5

 

Res: 2.5

Volume needs to be at 3.5/4. These are not bedroom settings.

 

I tune down to B and use EMG-81's. So take that into account when you look at my settings.

god i want to start a hardcore band SOON. that tone defines hardcore!


with the sg tuned to drop Bb, its awesome - but with my v (emgs) in the same tuning, its a bit nicer saturation, but sounds a tid more processed. we will see what i want to do. how much different will an ltd viper 1000 sound in the same tuning, than my sg? regardless, my sg NEED sperzel tuners, cuz these gibsons blow. haha

 

 

Jesus that is alot of gain!!!

IMHO, the rythym channel is so much better for single note riffs. You can hear every note you play without that extra hair at the end of the notes. It has the perfect amount of grind that doesn't hurt as much as the lead channel. The rythem channel is a bit fuller than the lead channel too. Just back off the bass a bit and your good.

 

The lead channel with the same eq settings, but gain at 4.5 sounds great too. Just has a bit more piercing high mids or highs.

Yeah...I know it's old, but....

 

Pic with current settings. Bare in mind my 10 band MXR in the loop stays on. I can't show that though.......Secret settings ;)

BTW, I find if I crank the Resonance too much it can get somewhat muddy. Still experimenting

My current FJA 5150 settings for dirty channel

Gain 5

Low 4.5

Mid 7

high 2

pres. 8

res. 4

 

Sounds real nice in a BAND setting. I use a maxonod808 with the level 3/4 up and everything else on zero when I'm practicing with the volume turned down. I've found that it is unnecessary to use the boost with this amp in band volume situations (Thank you Jerry!). I am not familiar with the gain differences between my amp and your 6505+. I'd imagine you wouldn't need as much as mine. Give this setting a try in band situation. It has plenty of cut on the lower strings without ice pick on the higher strings.:thu:

Pre - 5.5-6 depending on how I feel that certain day

Lows - 5

Mids - 5

Highs - 4-5

Resonance - 7

Presence - 6

 

I'm using the 85 in the bridge of my H-1000 tuned to B and it was a complete tonal difference to my old settings with my 81 in the bridge. The 85 brought a ton of balls to my tone so I backed off the lows and brought up the mids and highs a bit because the 81 is just so ungodly bright of a pickup to me.

6505+ Lead channel into a 2X12 recto

Guitar-Carvin DC727 BK NailBomb in the bridge

-> CHaos modded SD-1 level 3:00 tone 11:00 gain zero(off)

-> lead channel

Pre 6

bass 6

mids 6

treble 4

low res 6

pres 4

post 3-4

MXR 10 band in the loop boost the lower mids cut the upper mids (just a smidge) kill teh highest treble slider all the ways down.

this really smoothes out the tone alot.

this 6505+ sounds ways better than the old 5150 I used to have. Even the clean on it is decent.
