interesting idea, but will it sell lol

 

[Torniojaws]

"Pelimies" as we would say

 

[cobrahead1030]

i'm almost wanting to bet that someone on harmony central is selling that, or atleast they used to own it...i'm 99% sure i've seen pics of that before

 

[JeffTD]

Yeah, He must've kept the 2x12 cab when he sold it to the dude in the UK LOL.

 

[KeithRT99]

thats pretty cool

 

[kev]

Is it the only 60w 5150 head in the world lol

he may have been in the uk to begin with, no idea

 

[Andy Sneap]

why would you do that though.....?

 

[Razorjack]

I kind of like the look of that but like Andy I'm just confused as to why anyone would do that, the combo and head cost pretty much the sames so it can't be the price.

 

[Fragle]

the combo has a warmer bias setting which translates into a much warmer and even more midrangey sound when compared to a bone stock head - in fact, none of the 3 5150 heads i've played sounded anything like the combo which was quite a surprise really.
and if i recall correctly, the combo has reverb. i don't quite see the benefits of 60w vs 120w, as both are plenty loud, and tube saturation isn't exactly what the typical 5150 player goes for anyway, but i'm sure the reverb might come in handy, especially for leads or clean playing.

but at the end of the day, the whole thread is useless anyway, becase the "head" is just too goddamn fuggin UGLY

How come the 5150 doesnt come with reverb at all? Is it considered that the tone you will want out of it you wouldnt want to put reverb on there anyway, or maybe it its considered big and powerful and generates its own reverb in a room lol?

'Cos EVH didn't want it?

lol razor cud make sense

 

[JeffTD]

Actually, the reverb tank was in the bottom of the combo - I don't think it was encorporated into that head.

Also, I've found that I didn't like the tone of the 5150 combo, and it's not just the bias setting. I have the bias mod on my 5150, and the combo still sounds different - more similar to a 5150II.

 

[KeithRT99]

that seems expensive, i only paid like 525$ for my combo.

 

[Kazrog]

I'd love to hear how it sounds, still seems very silly to me.

since peavey switched over to the 6505 name all the old 5150 amp prices have shot thru the roof

Says it is. Prolly still on the bottom.

I almost did that to a combo I had back in highschool. Glad I didn't--and glad I don't get that frikkin bored anymore.

The reverb on the 5150 combo is probably the worst reverb ever.
