Great tone, no doubt. But if you listen closely to your favourite albums you'll find that the guitars are much "smaller" sounding, way less bass and a bit more "air" than the tone recorded here: this "massive" tone is unusuable in a professional mix, because it will clash with bass gtr and kick drum, and you would hear nothing but mud. As a recording engineer, I find that miking the amp from a certain distance (anywhere from 15cm to 1.5mt or more, depending on the room and the rig) gives a much more "finished", mix-ready tone. Try it and see for yourself! ;-)

You're getting some great tones here! What type of 6L6 are they putting in these new monsters?

Between the EVH 5150s, Stealths, 6505+, etc that you've had on this channel, this one most immediately sounds like what I hear in my head when someone says block letter. It sounds phenomenal!

So happy you got to be the one! Rooting for you, from Peavey HQ.

Mine just arrived on my doorstep from Sweetwater today. I *cannot wait* to plug this thing in and run it through its paces. My OG 5150 has not had a working FX loop for years, so I am excited to see how this reissue does with everything working as it should.

Adding that extra mic has done so much to the sound quality. Nice work dude!

Damn....That 6505 sounds nasty af. Awesome job Kyle. I have to say, I am super excited about that cab. I have owned a few 5150/6505 heads and ran all through V30 loaded cabs. Those Sheffields sounded really good. The 6505 mid-range mess was tidied up very well by those speakers. That 6505/cab combo sounded as musical as the very best classic 5150 tones. The last riff in drop C tone sounded so close to the Burn My Eyes tone. It instantly popped into my head as soon as you started playing.

I have ALWAYS been a FAN of Peavey!! I have 2 of their amps in my living room as I type this - Peavey Combo 115 & Peavey 212 Special that I recovered in Gator hide 3:)

Really awesome video and very well done! This is the sound and feel I remember when buying my first 5150 in the late 90s. While I'm not as heavy a player as yourself, I'm more hard rock and classic heavy metal, the tone and tightness sounds incredible. I've been waiting on the release of these to see if they would be like my original ones, looks like they hit the ball out of the park! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us!

​@@bondalero0074😂 I'm pretty sure Peavey couldn't deliver on this amp because it was made in China but that China production is up and rolling they can deliver. Either way the USA factory isn't making any amps aside from maybe rack mount but I doubt they are even making those in the USA. Peavey is probably in more trouble than Dean guitars for example who have had bad press lately they are doing way better than Peavey for example. Good luck to em indeed but unfortunately I Don't see Peavey being on top again ever.

So happy for you your like a kid on his first bike lol awesome! Great tone!

Thank you Kyle! I'm not really sure and i don't know how long you played but... i think we heard a Speaker Breakup right there. At the End it sounds much more smoother and solid. The speakers really sounds awesome with the Amp. Reminds me of my 1998 Marshall AX (25W Greenback) Cab. This was a reminder for the Love i have to my 6505 and why i like the non Plus 6505 more than any other Amp

Loving that Gibson tone dude. So smooth in the upper mids. Looks like it feels good to chug.

Heck yes. The first chords I was listening with my eyes closed. I smiled then looked at the vid to see you with a big grin as well. Lol. Ah man I love me a 5150/6505

Brings back memories of the first time I plugged into the original back in '98-ish.. can't wait for the inevitable 5150 versus stream!

I can't wait to hear how that cab sounds with some other amps!

Man, this brings back instant chug memories! I remember getting my 5150 block logo for like 7-800ish used and just fell in love with it. I dunno why I sold it off and in hindsight (like a lot of other things, lol), I should of held onto the sucker. The amp was pretty one-dimensional, but boy that dimension was all that was needed at that time. The Les Paul tones here sounds 🤌 ❤️👌! That's what I played through mine mostly, along with a modded strat with super distortion in the bridge.

I didn’t know they were updating the cab. Cool. From what I can tell the head is the same with a “transformer close to what was in the earlier amps” even tho the transformers never changed from first 5150 to last American 6505 😂😂. And before anyone @‘s me I’m just going off of what the folks from peavey told me.

Awesome Channel Kyle. Your doing what all of us dream of being able to do. Subscribed!

Your giddiness reminds me of the first time experiencing the 5150. It was early 1993 and a buddy had to drive to Dallas to get one, as it was the closest place at the time to central Arkansas that carried them. He played that thing for what seemed like hours, just grinning like the Cheshire Cat. He and I were probably the only ones grinning, considering a 120 watt tube amp was unleashed upon an Air Force dormitory.

Not a troll when I say this has the exact same personality and vibe as my beloved Nolly profiles. Sounds great and I couldn't be happier for you!

Sounds killer. I really like the cab too! I propably to buy the Head with matching cab :) Should suit my 6534+ as well! Would be interesting to hear that cab with a Rectifier (rev g?)

Well done you totally earned it. Keep up the great work!

Man that Les Paul Custom at the end sounded incredible!

Man, you definitely had me grinning along with ya. I can only imagine what you were hearing in that room. It really does sound like the Sheffield speakers have had some tweaking, in all the right ways. Any mention on a 2x12 cab? Thanks for doing what ya do my man.

Holy shit!!! Just a killer chug!!!! Those speakers rock!!! Kinda reminds me of v30s and gt12-75s mixed.

Wholesome content as always. I don't know if I'll get that head because I don't need 4 different 5150 circuits but I'll probably get one of those cabs.

Kyle the dual mic setup is a huge bump of quality for the sounds. 🤜🤛

I'm going to be nicking some of those riffs for my own practice, hope you don't mind. Great demo!

Listening on my drive home and multiple times and I said "Hoooo." That tone is crispy. Especially that Gibson

Great tones! I’m intrigued by your use of the term “fizzy.” I have an old Peavey 4X12, no idea which speakers are in there. I play through a heavily modded 1963 Bandmaster which has tons of gain. I tend to play it at low volumes so as not to upset every living creature within a quarter mile (especially my wife), and I get a tone I describe as fizzy until I crank it up. I’ve been thinking it was the amp, but maybe it’s been my cab all along.

an internet search reveals nothing about that cabinet or sheffield 1230+ speakers. Am I missing something? They all say loaded with v30s

That drop C guitar sounded great

Not to be a dick, but how? I think people get this idea of Greenbacks from IRs, forums, or confusing it with a Vintage 30, which might as well be from Beta Reticuli in comparison. I tried demoing the Yo Bonermassive signature wah through a Suhr cab with a Greenback in it, and the toe setting...FARRRRRT. Put 4 Greenbacks in a 4x12, 100w tube head of choice , crank it & play death metal. They might not survive the session. Unless you're an "edge of breakup" boomer type player, Greenbacks are frankly kinda garbage, especially for aggro, high volume use. Peavey did have speakers with certain bogeys, G12T75, V30, and iirc something akin to an Eminence Legend, which might be closer to what you're thinking of. To give you an idea, Iommi went with H30 creambacks, higher wattage, but his habit was to turn everything full up, but roll the bass up to the edge of where the farting out began and back up a bit. That was a full stack, and 8x30w in theory it should have been 240 watts. Players abandoned the Greenback in droves until basically reading about Eric Johnson, who, btw, claimed to be able to hear the difference in 9v batteries, and hoarded the old mercury or whatever phased out type there was.

This sounds fucking killer. Never thought i would be looking at messing with some Sheffield speakers but I’m totally going to look into those I’m loving the tonal qualities of those. It’s got all of the definition and projection of a v30 without the raspy mid overtones and and barkiness. There’s something on the top end that I’m digging too where a lot speakers tend to fizz or get harsh. It bites but not obnoxiously so.

When the 5150 line came out I finally had an amp that i needed no pedals to chug.My VTM and butcher were nice but they needed a bit of a gain lift,but peavey always had some tone to them.

Brutal. Violent. Killer. The tone SMACKS you in the face. I gotta get me one of those!!! Nice review, man. You didn't use the same guitar for the whole thing. Very THOROUGH. I'm liking the EMG 81 and the drop c tuning.
