In an old interview, this band said they were using a rocktron preamp into boogie power amp
Would you say this is a rocktron piranha?
Boogie might be one of those old huge power amps of some sort
I’ve spent years going through some very high end amps.
All were great in their own way but many had ‘something missing to me’ which was part of their signature sound.
Diezels, Bogners, Wizard, Soldano, Mesas, Framus to name a few
The Peavey 5150 was the amp I’ve played most in the past...
One locally here for sale cheap. It’s a USA made.
Asked the guy about the extra knob and apparently it’s a mid shift
In theory it should have the original tone of the amp plus other tonal options?
Anyone had experiences with this sort of mod on an amp?
I don’t like the full on 6505/5150...
wow
this is the first 5150/6505ii / + I've owned.
Previously have owned a couple of 5150 mk1 signatures and a block letter.
This new 6505ii may be the best I've played out of the series.
(haven't played any of the other 6505 heads).
Sounds incredible.
Clips coming soon.
Over the past...
there’s a local band who’s made these sound killer for over 20yrs, always liked their sound live
I’ve owned a few OG 5150’s which I’ve loved. Probably the amp I’ve played most now.
Been a recto guy for the past 5yrs or so but I’ve randomly been bitten to look at the 5150ii / 6505+ out of...
Used TU2s for years and always liked them.
Now I play mostly in drop B.
The Polytune3 handles this easily, smooth, sounds in tune (which helps!).. great.
Bought a TU3 and it’s a match with the Polytune for 5 out of the 6 strings.
As soon as I get to the low B. The boss falls apart. Can’t...
How do these compare tonally?
Modern Jose amps like fortin cali, headfirst evil joe etc.. are they as ‘modern’ as your peavey 5150/6505 and rectifiers?
Or is there still some vintage vibe coming through
When people refer to a Cali is it simply another name for a Jose?
or a Jose with some mods?
Is a Jose simply a modded 2203/plexi?
Where did the term Cali first come from?
I own a JEL mod 2203 JMP.
Currently have tried boosting with an SD1 and OD808.
V30 speakers
Guitar has rather high output pickups
It sounds good don't get me wrong.
Wouldn't say it's as modern as my old 2ch dual rect.
Any tips on really taking these into modern high gain territory?
My...
not sure if this is old news or not..

Always liked this one and thought it was rather unique.
Dry yet aggressive and very clear, not over saturated.
I've heard this band associated with VHT over the years, does this sound Fryette to you?
I absolutely love my Herbert however my eyes are extremely sensitive to the very bright blue leds.
I'm looking to change these out.
Anyone else do this and have any pics or tips?
I've only just discovered these guys even though I've known the name for years.
Turns out they're playing at a local bar here in Australia at the end of the month so can't wait to see them live.
Spent some more time comparing my new Sherlock Fat Head against my Mk1 Herbert.
These tests were for my own geeking out so though I'd share the results.
Everything is re-amped through the same cab and mic setup so the only variable here are the amps.
Have some samples of iso clips against...
I know it's technically rather inaccurate vs modern pedal tuners.
But it just feels like home to me, plus the amount of pros who have used them over the years..
I've cycled through many pedal tuners and now feel like going back to what I know and love.
Any one else still rocking these?
