The XXX is a great amp and can rival a Mesa Dual Rec, but I find the 6505 to be more versatile and my favorite tone overall. All of the Backmask stuff is 6505.

Theres something about the 5150 mid range that just crushes everything...

If you're having trouble deciding between those two, check out the Jsx. Great amp, some traits of both. I really like them. (Don't own one sadly)

6505 all the way, being in a band with two 5150's either side of me is the best sound ever. So crunchy and beefy without ever getting lost through all the noise of a full band.

I'd go for the XXX, i just recently traded my 5150 mkI to a XXX and the XXX sounds way better. They actually sound quite alike but the XXX has sweeter highs, better lows and has a more compressed sound=better,

Cheers

I feel like this topic will never die.

Peavey should just build one ULTRA awsome amp. Mix the character of the XXX/ recto with the mids of the 5150 and be done with it.

*Someone will come in with JSX.*
