Fucking hate the idiots that think a 6505/6505+ are different from 5150/5150II. With a passion.
Cool video.

Good vid Ola. And yeah, they are the same amps. All Peavey really did was change the amp's name because they had to. People don't realize that the subtle differences they hear between a 5150 and a 6505, they would also hear between two 5150's side-by-side, or two 6505's side-by-side, etc. No two amps sound exactly alike, especially tube amps.
On a side note... nice solo, but why did your pinky look like it got scared of the fretboard during the lead?

Very nice. The intro is one of my fave net-sensation clips ever.
One thing I noticed man, as I was jamming through my 6505 the other day... the white tortex sharps sound like balls with it. The amp doesn't do 'djent' tone well at all. It needs 'squish', so it helps to take it back to floppier picks. The green tortex worked fairly well. I know guys who use even thinner ones to good effect.
As much as I love the amp, and it's still my fave metal amp in the world, it definitely doesn't suit your playing one bit. Nowhere near as much as the ENGLs, Mesas or EVH version.

Yeah I love the grapelady...
About the sharps, you have to take account of the thickness of the strings as well.
Thanks Ermin, I agree, I love Peavey but still doesn't do anything for my music.

Really wish Chris had fixed you up with that tab by now though. This would've been the perfect amp to do their song with.
Point taken about string thickness!

Got them from Chris but just when everything turned into a shitblizzard. Hopefully got a chance to do the song soon.

Totally agreed, having tried one of the 1.5 sharps that Ola sent with the Feared shirt I got a few months back. I generally play with .88 green Tortexes, and often use the .73 Yellow for even more squish.
*edit* Ola, was this one with a boost, or straight in? Sounds pretty damn good for straight in, might have to experiment with not using a boost for some of my stuff...
Part of it is also the fact that they have different stock tubes. Not a huge difference, but it might be enough for someone to pick up on and say "AHA! See?"
