Thanks for watching this episode of the "dialing in" amp series! This episode focuses on the Peavey 6505 (5150) in a high-gain setting. In this video I show you how the amp sounds with everything at noon, I also turn all the controls so you can hear how they react/sound and we compare my own settings to the noon positions. Whether you're new at dialing in amps or you're just interested in guitar tones, I hope you enjoy this video! Cheers!

@guitarsehole 10 месяцев назад

Great demo!! The settings at noon sounds kinda like you've squeezed the best possible tone out of an average amp. The tweaked settings blew it out of the water! I usually scoop the mids a little more, but I'll give this a shot...and I'll try not to be too scared of the presence and resonance from now on. Haha

@kornelwav 11 месяцев назад

Such a great kind of video. I play the 5150 with a 4×12 cabinet in the studio room. Settings of gain and eq are similar to yours but much less resonance and presence at say noon position. That difference could be caused by the very high volume even at a low post gain on lead channel. Anyway your tone sounds absolutely huge! I am really looking forward to see the ENGL Fireball 25 as well, which I use at home. Both with my Ibanez RG's.

@chadsux 11 месяцев назад

Whenever someone asks for settings on a 5150/6506 amp, I always tell them to put all the dials at noon and go from there. Very cool that you've compared that setting to your preferred settings. Your preferred settings are similar to what I have my 6505+ set up with. (With ts9 boost) - Pre = 3.9, Low = 5.2, High = 6.9, Resonance = 7.6, Presence = 7.9 I might try increasing my lows a bit based on what you've done here and see if that helps any. Thanks for another great sounding video!!!

@danadane2501 2 месяца назад

Great demo I'm still saving for one. Definitely the best amp for Heavy Metal and Hardcore IMHO. I've noticed most all my favorite guitarist use this bad boy.

@eds4754 11 месяцев назад

Cool video! I liked the tone slightly better when the Resonance was a touch lower, maybe around 6-7. The most important control on these amps when dialling tones in is the master volume, its like a global tone control. It can really change the behaviour of the midrange based on where its set. IMO it sounds best around where you had it, and the rest is quite straight forward from there. If the MV is around 4, the sound gets quite thick and bloated which can be very hard to dial out with the EQ controls.

@razorbladesodomy 2 месяца назад

Dude, you should definitely do a series of these with all of your amps. I was struggling to get a good tone out of a plugin, wondering why, then copied your settings here and it instantly sounded like a million bucks. Really impressed by your knowledge and year for tone. Hoping for a Marshall settings. Cheers!

@blairmillward8408 11 месяцев назад

So far it looks like I'm the only weirdo in the comments that greatly prefers the green channel! My favourite settings (all numbers on the dial, not o'clock): GREEN CHANNEL!!! High input, Pre gain 4, bright and crunch on, Low, 3.5, mid 10, high 7.5, Rhythm post gain 4, res 7.5 pres 6.5. Yes, the settings require earplugs, but the post gain being above 3 is the key. Would love to see how you go with those compared to your favourite settings. Slight tweaks depending on your pickups etc.

@MarbsMusic 11 месяцев назад

I just picked up a 6505+ 112 cheap... didn't like the speaker so I put in a Cel 12H-75 and loving it now. My settings are very close to yours with just a little less Presence then I modify the gain depending on the guitar. Very nice to see someone tweaking the setting in a similar way!

This is one of maybe 3 amps I've ever heard that actually sounds good with settings at noon. Maybe that's just me, but I think it's already solid like that which is just a testament to how excellent this amp really is.

@chucknorris66611 11 месяцев назад

My settings are very similar. Pre gain 4 and Mid 3.5 or 4, but not too diferent. I love 5150/6505 amps ❤

@czechhusky4660 11 месяцев назад

Tone is all about context to the mix. An amp soloed may sound like crap but then put it into a mix it was equalized for and it sounds awesome. I like your settings better, they sound thicker/fuller. However to my ear the noon settings actually sit out of the way of the drums and make the drums sound clearer and more present

Hey John, have you ever though about bringing out your own rhythm guitar course? I am recently checking the internet for courses that teach me phrasing and rhythm patterns like you play them and I find.... NOTHING. No really, having listening to you presenting amps had me feeling like I need to learn what you do- but I do not have tabs to do so. If you ever consider tabbing down what you play, please let me know- I would pay for that! I really would!

@ianlahaye9476 11 месяцев назад

I have a love hate with presence. Some amps benefit from less, like a SLO. Lots of girth without the razors. Some amps need it to sit in the mix. I go back and forth on presences depending on the sound in the DAW vs through a live cab.

@SonicDriveStudio 11 месяцев назад

Yeah it's a very powerful control. On some amps I like it very low, on others very high. For live it's probably wise to tone it down a bit

@matheusburger6322 11 месяцев назад

You did get the 6505 right, I just don't like this amp. The distortion sounds very granular and fizzy, too modern to my taste. The older I get, the less I enjoy the 6505 and 5150... Peavey/Fender 5150 III still does it for me though, especially the smooth and still growly blue channel! Cheers!

@SonicDriveStudio 11 месяцев назад

Sometimes it's perfect for what I want, other times it's a little too mid forward. That's why I have multiple amps :) But when you need an amp that stands very tall in the mix the 6505 is hard to beat

@Johnsormani 6 месяцев назад

My first amp was a JMP 2204 in 1980. A hotrod JMP is always what I am looking for: for me it needs string separation , it needs to have powerful but not boxy mids, and some body. Distortion needs to have just a little compression. Oh and it needs to be dynamic. Since a couple of years I started rebuilding and customizing amps myself. The current project is rebuilding an old London city plexi copy and turning that into a slo type with EL34. But I don’t really like the slo lead channel. Because it’s a bit too fizzy,but the Crunch channel has potential but is too tame. So I tweaked that into hotrod territory and took some of the fizz out of the lead channel. I’m pretty happy with the result.

@huntergalloway3944 11 месяцев назад

@ScottXDavidson 3 месяца назад

I think most players use way too much gain with amps like this. You can get a more aggressive sound with more mids and less gain (and a bit of resonance). One thing I discovered with a 5150 2 (USA made) is just how expressive and bluesy they can be using lower gain and pushing the mids, especially with single coils. Hiding behind tons of compression and gain = snooze fest, we've all heard it before a million times. No one’s talking about what amazing blues machines these amps can be.
