There is a guy in my area selling a peavey xxx head with a carvin legacy 412 cab for $435. How are these amps? Every youtube video ive watched have just been people doing some typical metal chug riffs with no solos so i have no idea what else this amp can do. At this price would it be possible...

i went out and bought myself a peavey 5150 a few days ago. i have it on a 4x12 cab with v30s and i can not get the distortion to sound tight, it just sounds so fuzzy. any tips on getting a good tight thrash metal tone out of one of these?

i've been saving up for a new amp for a while and i've been trying to decide whether to get a peavey 6505+ or a mesa dual rectifier. if money wasnt an issue i'd get the dual rectifier-although both amps are very close to what im looking for tonally right now. realistically i don't think i can...

i had never played a gibson that i liked (excluding LPs) until today. i went to guitar center, picked up about 5 different guitars that i thought i would enjoy, hated each and every one of them. then for no reason at all i pick up this gibson explorer. i plugged it in to this little line 6 and...
