Those are classic heavy amp choices to be sure Personally, I've always found them to be just a pinch fizzy at very high gain, much like a recto can be and they tend not to sound great at lower volumes or on the clean channel. But this is just my experience. I"ve heard some amazing tones recorded with these amps, but I'm guessing there was serious processing/eq.
You could always use REVALVER It's made by peavey and has a great emulation of the high gain peavey amps. Here is a link to download the demo. http://peavey.com/products/revalver/ Bunch of my punk buddies play 5150s. They sound great, one of the best peaveys for sure. I've never gotten my hands on a 6505, but from what I understand, peavey and EVH parted ways and peavey just changed the name to 6505. Anyone have a preference? What about the 6534+, anyone got one of those? Same thing but with EL34s right? |

5150 and 6505 are the exact same thing.

I kind of think the new EVH stuff might own the 5150 stuff.

I kind of think the new EVH stuff might own the 5150 stuff. I loved going to local guitar shops and playing on a 6505, but I must say the 6505+ was one of the top amps that I wanted, ended up getting a mesa for around the same price as one of those so I jumped on that ship. To me I feel with EVH being owned by Fender that it has slightly better cleans plus some really good high-gain. Best of 2 worlds if you ask me! -------------------- Guitars:
