Re: Peavey 5150 combo vs JCM900 combo

The 6505 and 5150 is the same amp. They may have changed a component here or there for whatever reason but when EVH left, the 5150 name went with him, hence the 6505 name.

I haven't played the 6505's yet. The 5150 combos were just so dang noisy and buzzy. Horrible.

Yup thats exact how I thought it was, buzzy distortion, but thats great for the metal stuff they play these days.

Very true. I guess the amp was really ahead of it's time...LOL. I expected a lot more out of the combo since I had played/owned the head version. In fact, the combo came out when I did still own a 5150 head, first edition.
