Texas Heat with EVM12L is the most logical pair when you look at the wattage they can handle. I love the Greenbacks myself, but it's not wise to pair that one with a 100 watt amp. Unless you are near the amp at all time. The risk it will get blown up is there when others give the cabinet a try when you are away from the the studio, practise room or the stage. Somehow there is always an idiot near who is curious and finds it necessary to turn the volume knob to 10 and then blow your speaker up.
Man these comments are proof that guitar tone is so subjective. They all something to them and it really depends on what YOU are looking for and what you like about metal tones. Everyone placing the victory last has me realizing where metal tones are currently at. Everyone likes that tight, tone when I think the victory would be very versatile. Nothing an eq, overdrive or presence pedal wouldn’t drastically change or fix. Thanks for your video! Super helpful.
Hey, thank you! I don't have a long term experience with this amp unfortunately, but usually my first to go delay is Ibanez DE7 or some by T-Rex. It actually crucially depends on the amp FX loop quality. For post production purposes I use stock Cubase Stereo Delay or Fabfilter Timeless.
The cobclusion I took from this is: Is easy to dislike and discard a speaker in on itself and how amazing they could sound when paired with another speaker. Mad 🤘🏻
I hear you sir! I can and I will... it would just take months as I am currently making an album with Miloš Meier, but yes, I am noting this down, and will get to this. Thank you!
The EV and the Legend were by far the worst sounding speakers. They sound like AM radios.The V30 is pretty generic because you heat it everywhere. I was most surprised by the Governer and more so by the Texas Heat. That last combo of the Heat and the Greenback was pretty fuckin deadly.
I just bought an earlier version (6L6) and it has been my favorite purchase as of late... One of my favorite amps of ANY size.... Love the tone and vibe of this beast... 🤘 10 band in the loop and a noise gate and T9 in the front... Chefs kiss.
I have a 6505MH that I'm running (with a Boss EQ-200 10-band EQ thru the effects loop...) now, and I was really happy with the tone of it until last night... a friend has the Engl Ironball E606 and it has a waaaaaay better tone without the Graphic EQ going thru it than the 6505MH WITH the EQ thru it... From my experiences, the pros & cons of each amp are as follows: *Peavey 6505MH, Pros: -has plenty of gain on tap for a wide variety of rock and metal genre tones -controls have a nice wide audible range to them, for a wide variety of tonal shaping *Peavey 6505MH, cons: -needs a good 10-band Graphic EQ to really help shape the tones a lot more and better... -cleans are not good on these amps at all. Even with the gain set relatively low, your tone is still dirty... -not having a master volume for the whole amp is kind of a downfall. you have to play with the channel pre and/or post gain controls to match the rhythm and lead channels so one is not overbearing when switching... *Engl Ironball E606, Pros: -has a much thicker, tighter gain than the 6505MH - even with the gain boost off. But with the gain boost on, it fills in the gain and tone so much more and better... -the tones available right from this amp are much tighter and better also, WITHOUT having to need & use a 10-band Graphic EQ to help shape it better... Im sure you can re-tweak the EQ to dial it in a tiny bit more and better. but on its own, it's shocking hiw good this amp sounds without it! -Clean tones are actually that, CLEAN!!! And really good sounding cleans too, not dirty even on the slightest bit unless you dial the gain up or use the gain boost on the amp... -the master volume control is great to be able to keep your channel volumes more equal easier, while being able to turn the whole amp up or down as needed...an ideal function for either playing out, recording, or playing in your house/bedroom at all hours of the night... *Engl Ironball E606, cons: -Not having a resonance control to go with the presence control kinda bites... its nice being able to dial in a little more low end in the power amp section like on the 6505MH or any of the OG 5150/6505 amps... absolutely NOT a deal breaker though... there's enough low that can be dialed in on the bass control and adjusting the high frequencies is easy between the high and presence controls to get this amp sounding fierce... -the power soak (switchable power level function) works on the 8 ohm output ONLY!!! I guess this is something else that's not necessarily a deal breaker either, since this amp has a master volume control for the whole amp... But would still be nice to be able to run 2x 8 ohm cabs or a single 16 ohm cab with the ability to select the 5W or 1W mode... -the amps reverb seems to be not at all audible... I've tried playing g with the control on the back multiple times and it seems to have very little or no effect whatsoever... so of your looking for some kind of functiong reverb for this amp, you'll need a good reverb pedal to get it... So for me, the Engl Ironball is the clear winner between it and the 6505MH... so much so, that I'm considering letting go of my 6505MH (as well as my Classic 20MH, Mesa Head Track, Boss EQ-200 10-band Graphic EQ, and an EVH 5150 III 2x12 cab with a pair of Celestion G12-T75's in it...) go for an Ironball E606... Im that hooked on how good it sounds!!!
Drummer is like a metal metronome ! Outstanding ! The guy makes his small kit sound HUGE ! When Metallica finally gets rid of Lars, make sure this guy shows up for the audition.
Hrál jsem teď 4 roky na Bugeru 6262 a budu přestupovat právě na MT-15. Moc díky za obě recenze, vždycky stojí za to! Mimochodem - tenhle zesilovač má elektronky 5181 v konci už od výroby, nebo jsi výměnil původní 6l6? Zajímalo by mě - na to jsem totiž odpověď nenašel - jestli je možné vyměnit ve starší produkci, která měla elektronky 6l6, za elektronky 5181 (pochopitelně se změnou biasu).
El EVM 12 L Classic y el Eminence Texas heat me sonaron increíblemente iguales. La unica diferencia que note fue de 125 dolares entre el evm y el texas jajaja. Saludos desde México.
I just bought 2 Greenbacks and 2 Texas heat speakers for my 412 cab , the sound is so thick and juicy , I liked the V30 but it was a tad to harsh , thin sounding for my liking .
Really great demo, perfect for my actual needs. My choice would be legend + texas heat, 8ohm in parrallel to replace the stock seventy80 of my 2x12 80W tube combo, BUT, does anyone knows if the legend 1218 sounds similar to the 1258? Cause my amp slightly exceed the 75 watt rating of 1258. 1218 is cheaper and respect the watt rating, but can't find any good sound demo of it. Or 5 watt over is no big deal to get that exact sound? (Never play past half of my master volume)
