5150/5150 II/5150 III Tone Comparison (CLIPZ)

[Ola Englund]

I just listen to this clip over and over... Delicious!

 

[Jaymz]

If the 5150's clip 3 I want settings

 

[musickey]

1. = 5150 III
2. = 5150
3. = 5150 II

Regardless there isnt a shity tone in the lot.

This.

They all sound shit hot, you'd just need a slightly different post-eq approach for each one. Though with some tweaking I think you could get all 3 nigh on identical.

Admittedly it would have been nice to have a unmodded 5150II in the test. And maybe the Bugera 6505 clones too.

6260
6262
6505
6505+
6505+ modded to 6505 specs
5150III

^Would be the ultimate shootout!

 

[ATLA]

2-3-1

all sound great

 

[DigiV]

it would have been nice if the 5150ii wasn't modded.

FUCK I didn't realize you had to click multiple options to do a multiple vote
I just assumed you vote, then came back to the poll and voted 2 more times, hence why it only shows me as only having voted for one option

Anyway, had I been able to vote properly:

1. 5150 II
2. 5150
3. 5150 III

I honestly couldn't tell a big difference between the first 1 minute of the clip, but the last 30 seconds just stuck out like dogs balls straight away

Also, while I'm here, damn Jeff, I really dig this tune, but as I said on the Duncan forums I was never a big fan of the POD tone you had for it.
With these re-amps, it's the tone I had in my head that just sounds so fucking perfect for your tune.

Do either Greg or you have the full length tracks so I could be able to hear the whole song with the glory of the 3 awesome re-amp jobs?

 

[lolzgreg]

If I'm not mistaken, I may be reamping this song for Jeff in the near future

 

[John_C]

3-1-2 in order of preference, don't have a clue which one's which though

 

[AeternusEternus]

321

 

[nwright]

I really dig the riffs too. I love me some harmony!

 

[lolzgreg]

The results are posted in the OP.

 

[JeffTD]

I'll post this tune when I get the full reamps mixed in... the best riffs in it are not at all showcased in this clip!

 

[Harry Hughes]

Cheers Jeff, look forward to it.
Even with the weird boxy POD tone, I've been listening to that tune (the full clip you posted a while back on the Duncan forum) almost every day. Tight as fuck rhythm playing too

 

[MetalJonesy]

whoop i guessed rightly!!

 

[MetalJonesy]

cheers for this Greg!!

 

[Harry Hughes]

Haha, I got the 5150/5150 II Guesses wrong.
3 just couldn't have been anything else other than the 5150 III, definitely less powerful in those lower mids than a 5150. Still a great tone though and arguably would work better for certain contexts than a 5150 or 5150II

 

[lolzgreg]

No problem, Jonesy!

I'm glad this was an educational thread. Lasse, if you happen to read this, if you could move the OP into the revision comparison sticky, it would be nice.
