5150 block letter opinions?

Re: 5150 block letter opinions?

Sorry. PEAVEY 5150 block letter. Great high gain amp? whats the price? I have a line on one.

Expect to pay between $600 and $700 these days, in solid condition. These amps are absolute workhorses and will survive one hell of a beating, so most of them have tolex in not-so-great shape.

Don't let anyone tell you the block letters sound better than the signature heads - they shipped from factory with different tubes, and that's literally the only difference.

In all honesty, the 5150 is my favorite head. There's a reason I've had 4 of them and keep coming back for more!

Go for it.

I've been gassing for a 5150 and getting it modded by FJA.

The lead tone is great and with a slightly tighter, less fizzy rhythm tone you'll have a top level amp.
