I hear the Mesa thing, and another friend of mine said the 1960a cab too. The only reason the mf400 caught my attention is the K100 speakers... i hear they're killer. I appreciate the intput tho def helps me narrow down
So Ive been playing the Avatar now for like a year and its a really nice cab, but with doing the progmetal thing its lacking. Its a really light cab and its loaded w/ eminence legends.
So w/ running the 5150 head on top and w/ my style of music (short staccato rythmic stuff) w/ a budget of...
A couple OD/Distortion pedals that I've played and really enjoyed:
T-Rex MAB Batio Signature Pedal
Suhr Riot
Scream Cheese (amped up Tube Screamer)
Maxon OD-808
That Scream Cheese was awesome (a friend of mine was running it w/ his MAKO into a Port City 2x12 V30's and it absolutely killed!)...
These guys are f*ckn nasty!!! I just recently got into them (within 6 months). did anyone see Periphery's April fools joke tour poster haha Gojira was listed. I wish this tour would actually happen it would be unreal
so... its been a little while and i figured I'd update this....
my buddy owns a construction company and does custom build on the side. I showed him some "sketches" i had been working on for cab ideas and he flipped and is giving me free reign of the shop and his free assistance!!! so i'm...
I have never really done any type of maintenence under the hood of an amp before. Mine is a 1994 script 5150. Im sure it needs some help at this point lol. Its def noisier than I like and Im aiming for a "djent" sound... really tight crisp palm mute but beefy for open chords. kinda going for...
Thanks a lot man. This is actually exactly what I was looking for. I've never done anything as far as changing caps... can u elaborate on that a little bit? ive modded pedals before, but ive never actually opened up an amp. I would like to cut down some noise and fizz going on but keep the...
so I keep reading about upgrades and mods for the 5150 heads and I was wondering what everyone here likes? I love my original head, but if there are ways to improve it I'd like to take advantage of it? I'm still new to any internal amp stuff and was looking for clarification on what the changes...
Its incredibly hard u should go pick it up and ship it to me for my bday haha jk :lol: :LOL: . Its not crazy hard to but it is pretty meticulous. Make good measurements and try to keep ur one seem on the bottom of the cab.
Personally Ive always wanted a hard wood cab that was stained...
Thanks man!!! I was thinkin' Boogie, Orange, or Engle style cabs. I have a buddy who does custome metal work and I'm gonna see if he can make me a nasty looking grill for it when I get closer to the end.
Another question... does Tolex or whatever is outside the amp matter? Or can I do a...
So I think I'm gonna make an attempt at building my own Slanted 4x12 Cab. Has any one ever done this before that could give me some input/? and for everyone else:
Whats your favorite wood for a 4x12 cab to handle heavy distortion?
Whats the best Speaker type and configuration to match a...
"PERIPHERY, LOVE THAT SHIT!" I love that you quoted ragtime dandies haha. Yeah dude just went to see them in Philadelphia, PA 2 weeks ago. The place was big enough to fit 4.5 people and we crammed in 100 haha. I was about 4 ft from the stage. They played with Scale the Summit and Fair to...
Thanks Bro!!! Yeah thats the next step... trying to figure out what to put in it. I like the Dimarzio idea up top, but Im open to everything. My RG 7 string has the dimarzio set up and its a beast. But my buddy just put in the BKP in his prestige and it screams.
I play prog metal, or "djent"...
The combo of Misha "Bulb" Mansoor, Alex Bois, and Jake Bowman is pretty awesome (Periphery)
Marc Okubo (Veil of Maya)
Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders)
Luke Hoskin, Tim Millar (Protest the Hero)
