I'm always surprised how low Andy, Jason etc. keep the mids on the 6505/5150... I know its a very midrangey amp but hey ... 2?!?
I just can't get mine under 5 - something inside of me holds me back *haha*

Cooool interview

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Thanks, cool read! The high presence suprised me.

Cool Peavey Ad................I mean interview. Interesting on the Settings. Lead channel for Rhythms and Rhythm channel for Leads. I remember a post where Andy said he has used the Red channel for Rhythms.

Found it, it was in the Job for a Cowboy thread:

it sounds like the green channel on a 5150 to me.

nope, red channel

The High Pres setting is great to know. I always wondered how to get that top end sizzle (that usually comes from a higher gain setting, which then kills the definition) and still maintain definition. Gain low for definition (I knew that), but then how do I get that sizzle? High Pres. I am such a n00b, I typically use the Treb and Pres know in tandem. The missing piece to the puzzle. I am going to dime my pres today and leave the gain on noon. Hopefully I dont burn a hole in my eardrums.

I always crank my Presence on my amps.... Everyone has told me it's a no-no, but it sounds good to me when all is said and done....

 

[GuitarHack]

I am trying it today. Very excite!!! (think Borat voice)

You can re-quote my editted post if you like.

 

[Wolfeman]

BTW those settings sound great on my SLO too.....Nice article, thanks for posting it!

 

[poidaobi]

Nice article.

I better sound like those albums when I dial in the exact settings...

 

[GuitarHack]

Poida

I would love to hear a sample of your 5150 set like that.

 

[poidaobi]

^ Okely...I'll whip up something for you today.

Just double tracked? Single SM57?

 

[GuitarHack]

Schweet! (think Eric Bana's character of Poida from all those years ago )

 

[poidaobi]

See I'm playing it now and it sounds so farkin' schweet...but whether I can get it to sound good with my playing and recording...

Ok i'll have something up in 20 minutes.

 

[GuitarHack]

Regardless of the playing, I want to hear the tone. Your playing normally isn't too shabby anyway.

 

[aramism]

which is the most popular channel to use on there like the metal or the rock channel is it the lead or rhythm or lead. from what i remember the rhythm channel is more clean and all. i am a mesa guy myself but i am definetly about to pick one of these up for my studio. either a 5150I II or 6505... from what i understand they each have their own plus and minuses

 

[poidaobi]

Ok I just quickly did this. 0% processing. Completely RAW.

Using those settings. Just some basic chug chords, a gallopy riff from one of my songs then some Zombie Inc..

 

[AdamWathan]

Dude that sounds great! Is that a 5150 II or a 5150? Any boost involved?

 

[AdamWathan]

poidaobi's track with some drums...

Sounds DAMN fine to me man, that is a KILLER guitar tone!!

 

[KeithRT99]

i like that tone. kind of heartwork esque

 

[poidaobi]

5150 Block Letter with the Stock tubes!

NO BOOST.

Just an LTD with EMG81.

If you want I can do that tone in a full band mix with bass and drums etc.?
