Duuuude, fancy seeing you here!

Should have seen my stank face when you did the classic TS with the 666 settings. That chunk is immortal. I personally dial my highs back a bit and push everything else a tad more, kinda like a 7/7/5 setup with resonance and presence at 8. But honestly it’s so easy to make a 5150 sound incredible in multiple ways. This whole demo was ace

Yes, you are correct. I have a 1992 Block Letter. It came stock with Sylvania STR415. Same that Mesa used, and Beijing made Square foil getter 12AX7A. Mine are marked Peavey Super 7s. Engineer Of 5150 James Brown stockpiled a huge hoard of the Sylvania Tubes. The only tubes I've found in the 6l6 family close are the New Tung Sol 7581A. And I hoard the 80s and 90s Beijing 12AX7A/7025/6N4J.

I know death metal has been dominated by marshall and mesa. But damn I love the 6505 for death metal. That mid range just cuts through for pounding riffs

Peavey needs a win so bad.

EL34 tubes in a 5150/6505 you say? Sounds like a good idea for a future demo to me 😎🤘

I so fxxxing love your tones! Like the way you talk and the way you play. Great demo as always! Makes me want to buy one of these 😢😢😢

This sounds a lot like the Block Letter I sold back in the day. That’s rad. Also, I want to thank you for two things: 1. Playing a Buried Alive riff while wearing a Buried Alive shirt. 2. Playing a non-Drop A riff in Drop A. I once played in a band that covered “Epicure” by Harvest and they tuned to Drop C and now I’m listening to Harvest.

5150 on the red channel with the pre gain between 3.5 and 5, with a boost like an OD808 or SD-1, post gain 2 and up... there aren't many metal tones more iconic than that and is probably responsible for more metal album recordings than any other amp out there. It's simply the "old faithful" of metal tones.

Loved the video bro.your rhythm is fast and really sick.fuck yeah.

Great video. Would love to hear it compared to your SLO.

You come up with some interesting gear I've never heard of on this channel. I've subbed even though I'm definitely no metalhead. I like some stuff that's in that category, but my infatuation ends as soon as the "devil voice" kicks in, for the most part. Well, Jinjer(sp?) are interesting enough and their little bitty petite singer unleashing hell with her vocal chords can hold my interest, but I digress. (It's a theme with me) I'm not talking about the 6505 of course, but rather the "Explorer" you're playing. I'm well on board with the Peavey tube amps, as I used to have a Triple XXX that I lovingly swapped tubes around in until it sang like a siren that I unfortunately had to sell during some really tough times a while back and I still miss it. In any case, I'm digging the videos of yours I've watched so far. I appreciate what you do and the gear I've not heard of before is pretty cool to discover ... Peace out, boy scout.

Hell yeah, props on the LoA riff.

wow this makes me so stoked that I found an all american sheffield cab from the 90s for less than $300 at a pawn shop the other day

Nice to hear some drop a playing in here. \m/

There is a Reason we all love this Amp. Because it is the only 5105 with that thick attack it is a good thing the haven't change anything.

love it. "driven by suffering"

ha, I JUST bought an older combo 6505+ version because of Glenn Fricker's video. I'm glad I did. Thing is a beast!

I have a 2012 (last year of American production I believe) 6505+………. I absolutely love it…. I bought it in MINT condition four years ago for 500$….. those days are gone….

Ahhh FINALLY you have a 6505/5150 amp on the channel! I thought the day would never come!!! Jk of course 😂 sounds good!

Cease and Decist came from Electro Voice, not EHX. 🤣 close enough tho.

It’s pretty much this and Marshall for me although the Engl Fireball and/or Savage would be great additional amps to own.

I believe (imo) your riff in drop A sounds pretty good...has a bit of Nevermore's sound too it. Sometimes experiment a little with the tuning, cause ya never know what might happen.

the hatebreed riff def sold me

Damn. I just got a new 6505+ from 2008 too. Welp time for a new one

I feel so out of place because everyone in the comments seems to love the lead channel on these amps for rhythm playing, but I honestly think using the rhythm channel on these amps for actual rhythm playing sounds leaps and bounds better than the lead for rhythms (hence the name “rhythm” channel lol.) I wonder though if maybe in the context of a mix blending two tracks, one being the lead channel, and one being the rhythm channel, would give you the best of both worlds in terms of recording guitar tracks and getting sick tones out of it.

export models had the IEC socket and separate cable for around twenty years now

Sounds just as brutal with mesa V30s

There actually is a difference between pre-1998/9 power transformers and later. Brown talked about it in his tone talk interview near the hour mark. They changed manufacturers @1998.

@trevor4533

Жыл бұрын

They changed power transformer manufacturers somewhere during the 6505's production. But it was still made to the same exact specs. The block letter and signature have the same exact power transformer. The only difference is the Block letter shipped with Sylvania 6L6's stock. The 1992 Original on the other hand, uses a smaller Chuang Meei transformer, and despite all the marketing pixie dust was most likely left over stock from the Invective.

05:40 How about the 6534? I always assumed it was a 6505 with a small change (apparently the powerboard mentioned in this video), does these amps (6534) also have the interchangeable tubes or is that only a thing for these new amps? Also would like to ask how a 6534 compares to a 5150iiiEL34, I love the Lead-channel from the 6505 most of my favourite bands play these so no surprise there but I prefer the clean full, mid-driven aspect of a Marshall type amp, hence my interest in these amps.

I like it more with the lower output pickups. I actually don’t have one of those amps, an original 5150, any Eddie related amps. My reasoning is because at one point so many people were all going for that type of tone & amp. I still avoid that amp so I don’t sound like every other person. Though I do understand not everyone sounds the same. Kind of a strange paradox there huh?

Did Peavey change anything on the MH 6505? Or just changed the logo up front ?

You can actually get a good clean on the red channel w the gain on 0.

@trevor4533

There is no difference between the 5150 block letter/5150 signature/6505. The 6505 1992 original is the same amp with new style connectors, different screen grid resistors, IEC power cord, and a smaller Chinese transformer. Voltage switching and the ability to bias for EL34s is nice, but other than that its pure marketing.
