5150 tubescreamer

[DigiV]

My TS9 was a must with my roadster, a freaking must.

What does it do to the 5150/6505 though? I thought those were pretty tight amps to begin with.

Tube screamer is a must have for my 5150. You will not need any eq pedal after you have a tube screamer. Sounds great on red and green channels. Also sounds good on green channel with the bright on and the crunch off if you have active pickups. Some type of noise gate/supressor will be required.

It tightens up any flub in the low end and tames the fizz on top.

I like the 5150 better with a tubescreamer in front of it as well. Never really bothered to try it out for quite some time since I didn't feel the amp needed it. Once I did, though, I liked the result. This was with a 5150 II though, I'm not sure exactly how much difference there is between the mk1 and mk2.

and not to forget, it seems to bring a nice sparkle to the mids :Smokin:.

How can mids "sparkle"? (sparkle is usually a presence/highs quality IMO)

Yesterday I tried my TS7 in front of my 6505+.....It really improve the sound!
Ah.....yes I'm officially into the club

Just meant that they feel more "alive". Probably not a tone-purist style of answer, just MHO.

How do you set the TS to tame the fizz on the top?

if you have it in TS9 mode with the Drive @ 9 o'clock, Tone @ Noon, and Level @ Noon, then the fizz is coming from the 6505+, and you maybe didn't notice it before. If that's the case, try adjusting the High and/or Presence controls on the head.

I'll try! Thank you
