I've been eyeballing the 6505+ or 6534+ quite a bit lately. Kinda got the itch for one.

Shameless plug but Im selling a 6534 + :yes:

Thanks man, but I'm not quite ready. Got two guitars on the way and will have to recover funds first.

The 6534+ is one hell of an amp, had one for a while, loooved it. Sold it just because i could have a very similar tone with my JBE mod on my Friedman, of course the Friedman has more character and richness, but the 6534 is hard to beat for the $$$$$

:thumbsup: Good to know!
 
5150/II's sound great when other people play them, with me not so much..

My BE was on the other side of the room, jealousy could be felt all around :lol: :LOL:
 
Great bang for the buck but by no means would it be my first choice.

Fuckin sweet :rock:
I definitely want to try a VHT/Fryette something or other someday.
 
I've owned about 3-4 5150's and I just keep coming back to them. Grab a boost and a noise suppressor and you're golden. I've been noticing even when death metal bands go to Axe-FX and Kempers they've been using the 5150 blocks/profiles. The amp is really unbeatable the way it sits in a mix for that heavy musix.
