UTILIZATION
super simple, it happens very quickly to ring the beast.
SOUNDS
I play heavy rock / metal with a scratch Washburn Nick Catanese Signature equipped with EMG 81/85 and one in Seymour Duncan SH11 washburn custom / custom.
Well this head works great with passive or active pickups, no worries! it sends severe!
- The sound clean: it is true that he has a particular sound, we like it or not, it is a bit cold, but it is a matter of taste. Me I love this little cold side and edged with cruncher soon as we tend to "support" a little, it can play in any grade!
For the recalcitrant, I advise them to put a little BBE sonic maximize the loop! I opted for the 482i and whaouhhhhh! the clean is literally turned round and warm wishes!
- The crunch: nickel! a headroom to send the perfect sauce. Only drawback, it is common with the clean channel, it would have been nicer to have 3 real channels, but hey, it's not overly annoying ...
- The lead: what a slap !!!!! No doubt, the best channel! it has been nearly a year and a half that I possess, and every time I so much fun playing it like 1 day!!
The basic sound is really great, even if the head is no longer very young, but as said above, I put a BBE 482i maximize the loop.
Result: In addition to significantly improve clean, I switched to a lead (like the crunch) dug very modern mediums, with bass and treble very present ... A killer !!!!!
OVERALL OPINION
I once owned the marshall (eg JCM 2000 TSL 100), and I still wonder how I have waited so long to prefer this head ... I had the opportunity to try also peavey ultra + is a most excellent head too!!
In short, for anything I would not change it, I hesitated a moment to share with the Peavey XXX, would have made me very badly, because after testing, it is much higher than 5150 (these comments are solely me of course)
Note: This review is the same for the 6505 + because they are the same heads, just the name has changed due to a short history of trial ...
MOST: sounds good, ease of use, durability, versatility
THE -: Me I do not see ... except maybe the clean separation of the crunch ...
I would do this choice a thousand times and without hesitation!! It is well worth its bargain price!
