Best settings 6505+

[insane666]

Best settings for 6505+ only.
AND...
best settings for 6505 plus + tube screamer or DOD malmsteen overdrive preamp + MXR dynacomp (this if is necessary ) and Tc electronic gforce.
Please help me its very important.its for metal and shred.

The best setting for any amp is extremely subjective. Just dial in a sound that you *personally* like. Compare it to recorded tones on releases that you like the guitar sound on.

Put everything in the middle and then twiddle them for hours until your ears are ready to bleed and you're ready to go on a rampage, then it'll be metal.

try all 666 across the dials...thats was a good lead tone on my 6505+(except for the volume)

 

[ApolloSpeed]

yeah I run either all 666 or 656 or 646..... then adjust my res and pres to taste. Usually in the 5-7 range for both.

if you do a search you'll find a heap of settings from the guys, I suggest you try them out, record them and then tweak to find your OWN sound, it could take a month or years but nothing better than having your individual tone

It's hard to get a bad sound, impossible really, with these heads. Unless you totally suck on the guitar.

+ tube screamer or DOD malmsteen overdrive preamp

Skip the Malmer, go with a Maxon OD808 or OD-820

+ MXR dynacomp (this if is necessary )

I used to LOVE my Dynacomp back in the day, but overall, it mushes the signal.

and Tc electronic gforce

Good choice

I just got mine today, but have experience with 5150s in the past. In this case, the 6505+ tends to be bright. I've found that dialing back the treble to about 3, and the presence around 4 makes it real nice. Has less of that 5150 sizzle. When turned up, you might want to put the presence a bit higher to taste. also, be careful with the gain!! On 6 it's plenty for me, especially when cranked. Hoped this helps.

I must be crazy. To me, my 6505+ through my Mesa cab is so mid heavy, I run my mids at 2-3. Anything more than that and it's waaay too honky, imo. I run my treble at halfway and my presence at about 6. But man, those mids are crazy. It may work in a 2 guitar band or if you play a lot of leads. But for rhythm, it seems to consume the mix if the mids are too high.

I got an old fiddy one fiddy. The eq low to high is 755, with resonance on 4 and presence on 7. I mainly use the rhythm channel with crunch and bright engaged, and the gain on 6. It's pretty fat. Occasionally boosted with an MXR ZW overdrive.

I usually keep every knob (except the post gain) anywhere from 4-6 on the 5150 and 5150 II.
