Hey Juggernaut got it today finally after missing it....
Of course I had to take off the black board because I hate leaving stuff stock looking... I like to make it my own. So I took the time today to do kind of what I did to the last one and fab up a plexiglass backing, mounted the stuff to that. Because I never liked just taking off the board, and mounting stuff to the grill like alot of people do. This way the grill still stands out in front of the emblems and makes it look really 3D in person. And This time Since I left the grill stock on the last 5150 I had, I decided to make the grill a different color. So Silver grill and plexiglass this time around.... And I think I switched the peavey signs from one side to another....... Lemme know what you think
Tested the tubes, The Pre's have about 30% life left, The powers have about 50% life left according
to my tube tester.
BAD MONKEY.... I tried that for the first time. Well You see my settings, The bad monkey is set 10, 6, 4, and 0. I like the rythem channel boosted with gain on 6 both buttons in. The lead though, I much prefer it unboosted with gain on 6. So here I am switching back and fourth, I just cant decide. Rythem boosted, or lead unboosted. Seems liek the difference is SO suttle, It makes it very hard to choose. I tried all angles out in front of the cab to see if I liked one better than the other from different angles... Same results... I mean it sounds completely HUGE. Huger than I remember through my new eclipse and the 70's tuned to B. It is THICK and TIGHT. Damn its beautiful. I have no idea what IM going to end up doing. The Rythem sounds a little fuller maybe a very tiny bit thicker. And the unboosted lead sounds more raw i guess, I am thinking I can turn up the resonance a little on the unboosted lead, and probably sound the same as the boosted rythem does now. Give it that extra thickness. I just cant decide. Since IM only guitar in band, I think I might end up doing the boosted rythem. Damnit, I dunno. I wish I didnt buy the boost or I wouldnt have this complicated. One is Massive, the other is... Massive in a very very very slightly different way. And I love both ways.
Anyway... Just thought Id post
