My bandmate has a 4X12 loaded with Texas Heats and it has low end for days. I forget what wattage they are rated at but it's high. I have the Vader 2X12 with Legends and I really like those speakers. Not as much low end as the TH's but they are super tight and rated at 120 watts a piece. I'd...

This....you can find a used 2X12 5150 for $600 or under no prob. Play on it for awhile and save your $$$ then replace the speakers with some V30's and you're set for a long time. Those combo's kick ass. I would def take one over the 1X12 for sure.

I always run any OD pedal about the same for boosting. I keep my level at about 1:00, tone at 11:00, and gain at about 8:00. When I had the BM I think my level and gain were in those parameters and then I had the highs at noon and bass at about 1 or so to dial back in a bit of the lows that the...

Holy shit! :eek: That thing sounds amazing for sure. I wouldn't mind having one for some blues playing that I like to do once in a while. Definately impressed. They should do something with that faceplate though....not digging that too much but otherwise very cool amp. Adding them to my favs for...

I have a quad of them in my 5150 right now. Not a bad option being that they are matched for the Mesa amps which to my knowledge do not have an adjustable bias just like the 5150/6505. I know the Recto's dont but not sure about the Mark or Stilletto series. I put them in there because I had a...

Buy everything used....gear depreciates like a MOFO! As soon as you buy something brand new be prepared to lose anywhere from 20-30% right off the bat if you go to sell it later, especially in our present economy. I'd take advantage of other folks hardships and catch some deals on CL. If you...

Guitar into the OD into the noise gate right into the amp. You don't even need the compressor. 6505+: Gain around 5 or 6, rhythm channel Bass around 6 Mids around 4 Highs around 5 Resonance around 7 Presence around 6 or 7 OD: Level at noon or 1:00 Tone at noon or a tad less Gain about...

This or preferably a Maxon 808 or 9-series. That rig should slay!!! Fucking recto's sound unreal boosted.

Peavey Ultra/XXX/JSX/5150/6505. Affordable and reliable as all hell.

Yup or an XXX.....I see them all the time for sale on CL you just have to be patient and have money ready when the deals pop up. There's a 5150 sig head on the Dallas CL right now for $550.

Man you have a kickass collection of Jacksons! I LOVE the Kelly too and it's my fav shape of Jackson guitars. That is one sweet-ass guitar you have there...enjoy!!!

That sux ass....glad they didn't snatch up his ESP baritone V that he uses all the time. Really blows about the Dime guitar though.

Not trying to hijack the thread but how do you like the TAD 6L6's? I normally use the JJ's in mine but been thinking about giving these a go just to check out something different.

I've heard that before from Bob over at Eurotubes but I personally wouldn't trust it with my amp. The head was not designed to run an integrated quad. It's fixed bias so the only way I would explore that idea is to talk to an amp tech first to see what would have to be swapped out and if the...

Haha....this, sounds like a full re-tube is in order. Bet it sounds badass after that.

This is all good advice except you can't run KT88's in the amp without getting it modding. In stock form the only tubes the amp can run is 6L6's. But yeah a quality cab is a must....really for any good tube head. Have you tried clean boosting your rhythm channel with an overdrive? Sick tones...

I ran this combination in my RM100 when I had it and it was totally badass.

Here's my opinion LOL!!!

Never really checked out the Classic series by Peavey before just because I've always been into high gainers but lately I've been wanting another amp that has good cleans and classic gain for when I feel like playing some blues or rock. Just checked out some clips of the Classic 30 and fuck they...

See I feel the opposite about Celestions and Eminence. Vintage 30's are probably the best tracking speaker but to tell you the truth everything I am recording these days is done with cab impulses anyway so I don't really worry about micing up my Vader which is a pain in the ass way to record...
