#3 Synergy Preamp into the Marshall

Anything 6506

@CrushingAxes Год назад

They all sound great! But I think for this riff I prefer the EVH.

@carlosalmeida7174 Год назад

I prefer the EVH, I have that exact model with matching cab, and also a 6505 + in the rehearsal room with Marshall 1960 A and B Cabs (both great amps for sure). The sound pressure is satisfying as hell, I sometimes crank it and leave the room just to feel the walls shaking heheh. Let me tell you a trick if you don´t know already: the gain knob on the blue channel acts as a boost when you have channel 3 engaged, try it to see what you think. I have pretty much the same settings except for the gain and low which are lower (cleans up the sound to my taste). EMGs here as well!

Yes, the 6505 and 5150III are different amps. The 6505 is closer to a 5150 or 5150II, the 5150III on other hand has been redesigned, the stealth is from what I understand the same circuit but revoiced.

The Synergy 6505 module is incredible. It takes the original Peavey and EVH version and blends them to an amazing middle ground. I use it live with your DV77 IR direct into PA and its incredible.

@asnark7115 Год назад

I think they all nail the tone down, especially for music that isn't at the dark metal end of things, believe it or not. All three lack articulation, though. The EVH EL34 gives you more of the sound from the strings than all of these do, but that's the cool thing about EVH and Peavey: You can buy one and mod the hell out of it for transparency or other things for less the price of an amp like REVV, MezzaBarba, or Soldano.

As good as it sounds here, it would be even better and more accurate with a designated power amp such as the Fryette Power Station or even the Synergy power amp then it would be almost indistinguishable

But in this combination I'm totally unimpressed by the "original". 😐 I don't want those mids in my house. 😤

@mick4316 Год назад

I see/hear what you're talking about the mids of the 5150/6505. It definitely has its place in the metal world, especially for those who want a real raw tone. Peavey Triple xxx is one of the more clear peavey amps and doesn't have a wonk in the mids that you don't like. That might be a decent amp for you if you haven't already. Great content as usual! Keep it metal, dude!

@matteblackaudio Год назад

EVH III was my favourite. Seemed more noisey and had more gain which may have contributed to the noise floor but overall that’s the one that speaks to my soul. What I would like to see is a video of the same amps, with the preamps going straight to DAW with a DV77(?) IR on them - to remove the power amp differences. Would be interesting to hear how different the pres are? 🤘

@johnneiberger7311 Год назад

My clear favorite is the Synergy preamp into the Marshall power amp. That sounds big, tight, clean and super crunchy. Love it.

@Stretchwreckedem469 Год назад

Once I started getting into different high gain amplifiers, I almost fell completely out of love with 5150 style amps, more specifically my Bugera 6262 Infinium. That was until I started playing Metal rhythms through the crunch channel with the gain cranked all the way up. It was an instant game changer for me. The rhythm channel on these amps I feel are the absolute pinnacle of American high gain distortion. After I started using the rhythm channel on my Bugera I wound up using the lead channel as an actual lead channel and I haven’t looked back to using the lead channel for rhythm playing ever since. Seriously good amps and it’s no wonder why bands across the world gigged with these.

Also it would be interesting to play the Synergy 6505 Modul over the real 6505 power amp, to see how close the Synergy Modul compares to the real preamp.

@billyhughes9776 Год назад

To my ears (with headphones) the EVH rules the roost here. I've never been a big fan of the 5150 amps overall, but I'm learning how well they can sit in a mix. I recently picked up the Bogren Ampknob plug-in 3pk out of sheer curiosity and I'm really digging it paired with a Dual Rec. 🤘

@tunesquid Год назад

Had multiple Peavey amps and multiple 6505 amps over the years. The only Peavey I've kept long term is the JSX. I believe the 5150 has it's place and can sound great within a song. But it doesn't do it for me by itself. Whenever I record one, I tend to combine it with something. Loved the shootout. Fantastic work.

I have a US Peavey 6505+ and a EVH5150III 50 Stealth, each has its particularities and I find them in this video. I use both for my records, the 6505+ for crunch tones and some leads, the EVH for high-gain rhythm guitars and some lead too. I like the mids from the 6505+ to give some warm to the sound, and the modern tightness of the EVH to bring aggressivity and depth to extreme riffs. Also, I like a lot mix these amps (particularly the EVH) with a Dual Rectifier. For punchy & detailed quad guitars records, it's unbeatable !

@CloudburstStudio Год назад

Very educational and awesome vid, thanks Kristian! I am a fan of both peavey and EVH but I will say I do prefer the 6505/OG 5150 more. They all have their place though depending on what you’re going for so I wouldn’t write out any amp in general 🙂

@KohleAudioKult Год назад

Wise words!

@Ryan_Messenger Год назад

@17:49 The difference should become less noticeable in the mix when using IRs with the mini head. The output (post gain) needs to stay below the point it adds fuzz into the distortion so it hits the loadbox with the right amount of headroom and doesn't clamp on the transient. Unless you're after the fuzzy tone of course. Try it with your DV-77 IR. 🤘

@TOTO-nr8vu Год назад

@thiofabian9568 Год назад

@rzutyjenkin398 Год назад

Cranked poweramp doesn't sound too impressive itself but I think it has some potential. Try crank small poweramp(tonestack and other tone controlls - use for shaping drive)=>loadbox=>some EQ=>bigger poweramp=>cab. There's potential for a lot of fun when it comes to creating dirty, nasty sounds.

@Dave_TheMetalJester Год назад

It really amazed me at first listening how the 6505 1992 model much It really carried the early 2000s In Flames tone!! And without boost!! Oh man that was magic.

Was using rack stuff in the late 90s and tried a 5150 then but didn´t like it...and it still has that tone I don´t love. I hate the need to dial out the mids for a tight tone... it lacks pressure then. I think I want my mids around 250Hz and not over 300Hz maybe...just estimated. The EVH sounded slightly better for me and Synergy maybe best although rack preamps etc. mostly feel a little less dynamic etc. but maybe good controlled and tighter. It is funny that the taste mostly doesn´t change so much over the years and I never loved the standard stuff everyone was using. Today I have a fully tuned H410 for Hardrock and a Revv Generator 120 for metal...but maybe more to come! Thanks for great comparison!!!

@DavePowell666 Год назад

Kinda always hoped a 5150 video would happen one day haha! 😈🍻 I still like my 6505 for playing live (although I don't have another 100w head to compare it to), but I would say I preferred the EVH in this shootout as it seemed to have more clarity. As sexy as the full size heads are, these days the amps I'm looking for need to be fly-rig/tour friendly such as the pedal amps by Blackstar, Laney, Victory etc

@lusteraspiration Год назад

Could you use something like a Precision Drive in front of the amp and put a noise gate like the Zuul or ISP Decimator in the loop?! It’s like a night and day difference and is kind of how it’s meant to be used with modern metal tones.

@wadebristow6060 Год назад

Nice demo, dose amp size matter when using a reactive load box and an IR? Can you get a similar sound from a small amp to a big amp?

@KianF Год назад

I think the difference in low end between the mini and the 1992 is due to the fact that 25W isn't enough to get the cab to resonate fully. This is also one of the main differences I hear between amp sim tones and live cab tones, some live cab recordings just have a super subby rumble that I don't think amp sims quite replicate.

@TheSoulflytriber Год назад

The Peavey 6505 module features a three-position switch on the PCB, which allows you to configure the input tube bass response to match the original circuit of the selected module. This will affect the feel and tightness. Each amp designer has a specific combination of components that make up their input tube circuit. We have selected the three most popular combinations which you can access with this switch. The USA voiced modules typically use setting 1 (1.5K resistor and 22uf capacitor). British-style modules use position 2 (2.7K resistor and .68uf capacitor). The Peavey 6505, just like the Soldano and Vai modules use position 3 (1.8K resistor and 1uf capacitor)

I have to say that I fell in love with the EVH 5150 as much as I fell in love with the Rectifier back in the 90s. The EVH has got this growl I miss on other amps. I shortly owned an original 5150 (for 600 DM(!)) but sold it again after a few weeks because it wasn't my tone. Now I have a 6505 which sound great in his "allroundness" and taking pedals good. But it's still not my cup pf beer...still I'm craving for an EVH!!

@Zappabain Год назад

maybe try some other brands? I write this to give ideas to people who arennew to all of this: you could listen to the 50 or the 2x amps comparison video. Also try finding your tone with an eq pedal in the FX loop if haven't tried (it's really noticeable). And another EQ pedal as first pedal of the chain to change where the gain will act more (mids...) or just a tube screamer with no gain or other boost pedal.

So what do I do if I live in an apartment and play 7 strings? Head straight into interface? I know the mini has less preamp gain stages and power. I need the chord clarity thru the gain. Black metal lets me scoop the bottom end, but i’ve been trying to bring bottom end back up

My dude. Do you have an ohmage pref? My JMP absolutely sounds best when allowed to be at 4 ohms. My dual rec does 4,8 & 16 great but I still prefer 4 & 8 over 16. This distinction to me seems to also hold with whatever speaker I’m going into. Trouble is, I can’t tell if that part is a psychoacoustic effect. Im curious, is this an area you have thoughts on?

2 things from my extensive use of 5150s since before they were cool! The PV really doesn’t like EMGs. Of course plenty have used it but maybe it’s why you have the treble jacked up so high. It seems to not have the highs come thru. Also, the DV77 with the 5150 and 5153 which I still have both, just exacerbated those mids that you don’t like. We like what we like, but that speaker with the 5150 was a 100% “No go” for me

It's got some dropping resistors pre-tonestack that really make it sag and make the tonestack not do much, on top of the power amp using a dropping resistor instead of a choke between the plate and screen nodes of the power supply. It's loose and spongy because that's how Ed wanted it. Side note: He was playing Soldanos at the time.

Thanks for explaining the nutty gritty. Gotta say, I like how the 6505s sag a bit. If I want uber tight with no chew, I'd go solid state.

@davidfuller581 Год назад

@@WholeLottaBulldog the mods don't make it behave like a solid state at all, just better.

low end takes more energy per perceived doubling in volume than mids or highs. This is why amps with a big power section tend to have a more solid low end

Would’ve loved to have heard the Synergy going through several different power amps

I'm with you on these amps. I had an OG block letter and I miss the Peavey JSX I once had more than the 5150. I agree about the umusical midrange and no matter how I would try to EQ it in a live setting, I would never be satisfied. I now play some of the more affordable offerings from Engl like the Screamer and the discontinued Thunder 50 and I have the aggression I always wanted, that's tight, with controlled lows, and musical, un-annoying midrange. Of the amps you've tested here, I'd opt for the EVH every time. Eddie's improvements were on the money.

JSX is my favorite peavey for sure

I always find I had to take out 700HZ due to the upper midrange honk, that is paired with a MESA 4x12/57 combo

I have both, 6505 and 5150IIIs, and I use both. I do prefer the sound that I can achieve from them. There is a meanest that appeals to me from the Peavey, yet the EVH has a creamy sound from the high-gain channel, is great for leads, and no boost is required. The Brunette, on the other hand, in this context of your vid, seems and sounds digital-like. Could be the DV-77s, and yes, I also have the DV-77s in one of my Mesa OS slant cabs, otherwise V30s in the other. Needless to say, the Synergy did sound polished, have to agree.

The brunetti has so clear and sweet mids it kind of hurts to hear the other amps fail in that regard. Nothing digital at all. The evh was actually the worst offender sound wise. At least the 1992 has the original character. It think the synergy sounds smaller in comparison but the versatility is ridiculous and easy to take it over the evh. In the end all are a bit different. And if you throw a real soldano in there..

You should try what dimebag did with an eq before the amp

Yeah the brunetti sounds wonderful. Out of the 5150 variants, i liked the Peavey, the Synergy, the EVH and at last the mini. I think if youre looking for a 5150, the RAW power and aggression is what you want. The EVH sounds like its been mixed already, less raw. Less room to tinker with the sound. Then again, my absolute favorites, Meshuggah, used the EVH in their latest album, so theres that. I think they are all great. But liked the new big Peavey the most
