  • I have a Iconic 5150 40 watt EL34. I go line out into a Bugera 5 watt at 1 watt.
    It gave me more highs and a second reverb. Omg does it squeal! I am in total tone heaven!

  • The problem with eq is they aren’t usually noisy in themselves but they boost the frequency where noise lives

  • 5150's had always sounded like shit to me… someday tried a bunch of IR's that never tried and damn… amazing sound… speakers/IR's are now the first thing that i look for when making a hard bonner tone.

  • I can't believe bro pretended he couldn't get a 5150 iconic to sound good just to get his band name some clout. Smart but annoying.????

  • GE-7 is noisy when you use in front of the amp, it is better to use it in FX loop. Obviously, you shape the tone of the amp, not shape the guitar signal.

  • My buddy wants to add the Proco rat to his set up. He already has a boss SD-1. And he’s getting the blackstar Ht stage.
    Should he run both pedals? Which would be better?

  • I’ve tried mine with v30s and it was ass. Then I tried it with Creamback speakers, ultra perfecto

  • The best way to improve the 5150 is to send it to me. Ill take a 6505 too. Im not greedy. Any tube amp will be ok. ????

  • A year later I find Celestion Lead 80 212 w/ a TS808 on channel 2 burn engaged gain at 9 o’clock just right for me(low mid high to taste)
