I think this "On a recent note, the component tolerances for Peavey amplifiers, as well as the production location (China), may effect how the 6505 amps sound compared to 5150 despite them being the exact same circuit." should be emphasized. I want to buy some of the original pots and replace...

Whoops! I think it's explained at that link lolzgreg posted. Doh! :X

I have a 5150 block letter, a 5150II, and a 6505 all in great shape. None of them sound the same, although the 5150 and 6505 are pretty close. Tubes? No way. I've changed the tubes several times back and forth, preamp and power tubes, and I can swear to you they sound noticeably different...

Well there may be a reason for the Boogie use... I just may have to buy both and be a broke a$$ until I can truly decide.

No. But I took the wheels off of my Marshall 1960A.

Orange PPC4x12 cab 2 week impression: Still with the X pattern described above, I like this cab a lot more than before. I've had the chance to move it around a bunch and that made a difference. The previous location may have had some acoustic issues that clashed with the Orange. I also played a...

I know this post is almost a year old, but I just found it and... If someone can come up with making this mod :Shedevil:switchable:Shedevil:, I'LL SEND YOU AN EASTER EGG! Yeah, detailed schematics, brand of switch and parts etc etc... Why? I have a 5150 and a 5150II side by side and like...

Yes. 16 ohms. Woah... nice gear at that link! Fala Portugues?

RESULTS: DAY 2 -no recordings yet so... yeah.. BUT! - I did a GT12-75 and V30 X-Pattern configuration ala Bogner Uberkab.... AND IT IMMEDIATELY SOUNDS MUCH BETTER IN THE ROOM. My thinking is that maybe the V30 to most sounds great recorded, but the GT12-75 to me sounds more "Hi-Fi" as far...

I feel like it's a chase for the Yetti. You get your gear sounding great in the room, then it's back to square one when you stick a 57 in front of it. :ill: On top of it, you get a great sound by itself in the room, and then you find yourself having to double track L and R just to get it...

!

Thanks for that. Seems the orange would cut a little bit more. Same or different amp/eq setting? I wonder how they'd sound together... Also, what's the setup? And did you reamp or do it separately? The differences between the cabs in the room are much more severe for me though; although, I...

I'd love to, but haven't had the opportunity yet... Even if I did, my recording gear isn't all that great... SM57-> Art Pre (with or without)-> M-Audio Fast Track Pro-> Cubase Sorry man! Didn't mean to rain on your parade! maybe it works for you, but not for me yet. I was a an Orange fanboy...

Already tried that. I think it might have improved the sound and loosened up just a tad, but just very barely. Either that, or it loosened up my eardrums lol. I cranked it. I'm also going to try and switch the V30's with my significantly broken in gt-75's in the Marshall just to see. At the...

I can see that happening. That's a big reason I wanted to change from the 1960A. I already don't find it's sound perfect and even less when recorded... Just wanted a step up improvement. This quest for tone always drives me nuts. Is it too much to ask to have a cab/mic/preamp/interface that...
