I was half joking because *I* can't lead my way out of a wet paper bag.....think of me as Kirk Hammet's spastic brother with no sense of melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SteveVHT Posted October 26, 2005 Members Share Posted October 26, 2005 Originally posted by Megadeth7684 I don't play leads like Santana or Sykes, so why would I care if my amp can do those tones? The 5150 can do those tones if you dial it in right. Ummmmm...No it can't...Trust me.I've owned a bunch of 5150's, modded, stock, block letter, and 5150 II....They are harsh, cold sterile, and lifeless. All that they are good for is over distorted metal...Trust me...Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stated a blanket opinion "5150>Mesa for lead tone" when what you appear to be saying now is "for yor particular prefernce of lead tones 5150>Mesa"It's a big diff. init?

Members telephant Posted October 26, 2005 Members Share Posted October 26, 2005 Sounds damn near exactly like Santana's tone... Damn nice Brother! I will go on record and say Im not the biggest fan of the Mark lead (going from clips alone). It sounds much more "focussed" and "less open" than the Marshall lead tone.That said, I havent had nearly as much experience playing lead on a Mark series amp to actually get the feel. If I had enough time to sit down with one, I may end up being a convert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TU BE Posted October 26, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2005 Originally posted by danyeo Great clip TUBE. I did a version of this tune with a Fender Evil Twin and i got a suprisingly cool tone. Let me know if you want to hear it. I don't want to hijack your thread anymore than i already have. Thanks danyeo. I don't think I've ever heard a Fender Evil Twin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Megadeth7684 Posted October 26, 2005 Members Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well, Creedance Clearwater Revival, Ted Nugent, Eddie Van Halen and Steve Morse all used the 5150, and I'm real sure none of them play high gain metal. People who say the 5150 is a one trick pony are stupid. I only use it for metal, but there are tons of people who use it for other stuff. Ask VHoholic for example. His clips don't sound very cold sterile and lifeless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, make any 5150 lead clip that beats the Mark II and III clips on this forum and I'll concede.Tyler Thank you, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His clips don't sound very cold sterile and lifeless to me. What you are not understanding is that those are professionally recorded, and way way way processed recordings...Second, Steve Morse only used the 5150 for rhythm and cleans and used his Jubilee for all his lead work....unless he lied to me...EVH used that amp for one album, and his backline was mainly MArshall....Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shea, I think you're just a die hard Marshall guy. I've heard your clips. Your playing sounds great through Marshalls. You may like the MK series but I don't think you'll ever convert completely.
