Top 5150 Tones!!

[easstudios]

Yeah, that's Greenbacks... but the amp is a XXX, LOL.

Ha according to the Sneap forum, I was corrected on this in 2009 too i’ll edit the post to keep it to 5150’s

I read that it was a Peavey TransTube Supreme.

Was mix between transtube and 5150.

Primer 55 New Realease is one that represents what I like about the Peavey 5150.

No one mentioned Chimaira lol. Their tone was brutal as hell!!

 

[Jugghaid]

Machine Head - The Blackening may be my all time favorite heavy album.

Did Killswitch Engage, use 5150's on The end of Heartache? I really like that tone.

Since everyone already mentioned Heartwork and Machine Head (even though I'd give the edge to The More Things Change for guitar tone alone—5150 into Marshall 1960 V30 mic'd with 2x MD421s), I'll call out some slightly less well known recordings:

The Haunted - rEVOLVEr. Fredman said this was something like a 5150 II's preamp into an OG 5150's power section.



Alice in Chains - Sludge Factory. Possibly the only song Jerry actually recorded with the 5150 EVH gave him. Sounds huge compared to the rest of the album.




For what it's worth, Ocean Machine and SYL's City were a Mike Morin Laney AOR conversion. The SYL self-titled album was Rectifier I believe, and Alien was the one recorded with a 5150.

that haunted album sounds vicious! good call.

This track and "Spanked" are actually the prototype CAE 3+ preamp per John Suhr.

The rest is SLO according to Dave Friedman:

Soldano into 75 watt celestions in a marshall 800 cab bought from Andy Brauer studio rentals where I worked at the time. Was at the studio and saw it miked up. He liked the 75's with the slo amp. There was no peaveys on the fuck record. They were just getting it going at the time.

MACHINE HEAD!!!

Burn my eyes is THE ultimate 5150 tone, period.

Oh and all there albums after too....

This and the blackening

In Flames - Clayman
One of the better sounding metal albums ever made, imo. Heavy tones are all 5150 recorded at Studio Fredman.

But it's tough to choose when your options are "literally the majority of all heavy albums made since 1992."

Hmm, I think the 90's were mostly dominated by the dual and triple rectifier. The 2000's is what I think of when I think of the shitty one shitty... well rectos are still in there as well.

Yes Man. The more things change is pretty brutal too!!!!! They always have awesome tone!!!!!!

 

[Shredneck]

He is legend. Killer tones and riffs!

Machine Head plays 6 strings tuned to drop B right? For some reason I though they didn't like seven strings.

The classic stuff is drop C.
