thanks for summing it all in one post! nice one!!!

Been looking for a SLO100 for a while but they are not cheap... Its kinda weird amp!Most high gain amps have FX-loop after tone stack,but SLO's loop is before tone stack and also loop is buffered with 2 12ax7(thats 4 triode stages!)instead of 1. Looking at preamp schematics one will notice that...

Track one in the player (viraetas) is poweball left and 6505 right. I agree 6505 kills PB It has that agressive edge which I like(sadly I am owner of PB)but then again I don't think 6505 can do fluid massive saturated tone like PB can!

cool tone and song!I'm messing with powerball as well now.and must say its cunt of an amp to work with:very VERY difficult to dial decent tone!and clean chanell is not that clean I would say!

mu favorite "new"band!It seems a lot of people dont like them becouse lack of apparent melody!but I love them for that!like slayer very little melody just in your face power.really good album bless log

overcomplicated stuff will break down more often than simple one!you can only have loads of features in digital format and still be relayable.

one with better bass response must be blackout!?If I am right then just what i expected from blackies.Thank you for posting this shootout:now i won't change mine EMG's to sd's.I love their midrangeyness for tihgt riffing.

your clips sound very good indeed.what settings did you use on powerball,if you remember.

maybe try el34 in power amp to make it more agressive?

So peavey did not change anything in 6505?its same amp as 5150?Iwonder if they put in cheaper parts such as transformers and stuff in 6505? Strange I have played 6505 in guitar center and i did not like it!confused i will go to shop again and try it out . Anybody compared 5150 with 6505?

I tried with engl 4x12 cab with v30 celestions in it.tried different presence settings:everything from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock.It does sound good,but somewhat not agressive,i would say massive and fat,but lacking that MH bite and clarity maybe!

I have tried 6505 in music shop when i bought engl,i must say that 6505 sounded like total crap compared to engl!?Are those (6505,5150)that different in tone as well?

RAT?will try.funny thing with powerball is that tubescreamer has almost no effect on it!!!

allright!thanks .so you reckon i can't do it with powerball?

Hello there.I am usig engl powerball amp and i kinda like the tone from it,but its not as agressive as i would like it to be.what is your experience with this amp? I want THAT machine head sound! LIke pn the more things change and the blackening-absolutely kick ass. ps I know...
