after having tried out my bandmate's 5150ii extensively, i fell i love with the tone and decided to sell my fireball to fund either a 6505 or a 6505ii (or the 5150 counterparts, respectively), which i still can't decide...
I haven't got the chance to try a mki 5150 or 6505, so is there a noticeable sound difference?
from what i've read so far, the mki version is supposed to be more agressive, a bit less tight, and more raw. Has anybody compared both amps and can confirm this? Or is it maybe just a matter or biasing/retubing?
i'm really NOT interested in the extra features if the mkii (or 'plus') version, since i'll only be using the lead channel. The only reason i would prefer the mkii is that it already comes with adjustable bias.
