  • Got the green light for a new amp

    If you know me and what monstrosities of metal that I try to play, please cast a vote.

    Got more back on our taxes and so my wife said go ahead.... Around 6 or 7 bills.... I'm looking at:

    1. Peavey 6505+ (I had and sold one of these just a few weeks before my Marshall mode 4 died and my Peavey XXL started acting up)

    2. Marshall TSL 100

    3. The elusive Mesa dual rec under 7bills.... Point me to one if you find one.

    4. Other high gain, multi channel monster that I may be interested in?

    I've almost clicked buy it now on a few already so make your picks quick to help a brother out.

    I have been impressed with the Bugera offerings I have had a chance to play

    Other than that

    Maybe something snobbish

    Friedman

    Bogner had some awesomeness

      Can you find another Randall at that price? Maybe an old RG120ES?

        For the price, I'm a big fan of the 6505+. Why did you sell yours?

        Doubt you'll ever find a real Boogie Dual Rec that works anywhere near that price

        If you can step up a couple hundred, you can find JVM's for just under a grand! Personally, that's where I'd put my money (if I had any...lol)

          Yes lots of Randall's, but I can't jive with their voicing very well, I've owned a couple... Tougher than ****, but I like the Marshall sizzle and the peavey Ballz tones better

            Oooohhh jvm..... Can't seem to find anything under a grand in that model.


            I sold my 6505 because I felt like I didn't "need" a $700 amp.... Used the money for something else.... Had 2 "perfectly good" Solid state amps sitting there....
            But things have changed a lot in a few weeks ha ha.... Troubles with all 3 amps at the house has shifted my tastes so to speak.

              Look for a Bad Cat Cougar 50H head. It was designed by the same guy that designed the 5150. It has a very cool Mid Boost notched knob that selects different frequencies for the Mids in addition to your standard 3-band EQ. It makes the amp very versatile and the amount of gain is insane. In my opinion, it's almost too much gain as I have it set below noon for my metal needs. This amp is way underrated, and thus priced accordingly.

                You could check out the Jet City Amelia.

                  Used Splawn Quickrod. You can probably find one for about 1K.

                    Anything from the Peavey 5150 family and onwards will be amazing, why on Earth did you sell the 6505+? Those are incredible amps.
                    Egnater Armaggedon or Vengeance.
                    Jet City JCA50 or JCA100. Cheap and brutal.

                    No love for the Laney Ironheart from me. Plenty of channels and push-pulls but I could never ever get them to sound right, always almost there but not quite. Too stiff.
                    Maybe they'll work for you, what do I know? Those are modern metal amps and I don't play much of that.
                    Epiphone LP Standard PlusTop Pro
                    Ibanez SZ320 / A8 DD103 bridge.
                    Ibanez RG270 / Screamin' Demon bridge.

                    Egnater Tweaker 15 Head / Laney Cub 8 / 2x12 - Celestion V30+K100
                    Line 6 M13 and plenty of stompboxes I rarely use!

                      Re: Got the green light for a new amp

                      How 'bout a 5150 III 100W 3-channel for under $800?

                      Click here: LINK

                      Also, you can grab the 2-channel JVM's for around $800 and the 4-channel comes up reasonably often for $950-$1K.

                      Still, I'd grab that 5150 III and give it a spin for the price!!!

                        That 5150 is the same exact amp as the 6505 right?

                        Just Eddie moved to different company.

                        I think I'd rather have Peavey logo than evh logo. Just my personal tastes.

                          No, they are quite different. Definitely in the same family, but you could say that about dozens of Marshalls

                          You should look into the 5150 III. The internet is your oyster

                            Plus, the big-boy 5150 III that I posted is 3-channel. Obviously not a 5150/6505 clone on that fact alone
