How much is a 6505+ new? They're about £1000-1100 over here. They seem to be the same amount in pounds as they are in dollars. :(
The EVH 50w 5150 III does look tasty though!
I respect you more than ever. My thoughts exactly. I went to see Periphery, my profile picture for a while was me and Spencer, I got to carry Bulb as well. LOVE THAT SHIT.
I just had an idea.
What if you were to have an amp that offered half power on one channel, I like having clean cleans at high volume, but I like the sound of cranked lead channels.
Do any amp manufacturers do this? Seems like the best of both worlds. I've always been put off by 50 watters...
Great guitar! Looks awesome man, the trem on that thing is fantastic, beats all my lic' trems (Jackson, LTD and Tokai) by a long way!
Body is a bit thin for me, but that's a taste thing. I recommend changing the pickups though. Still, awesome man!
I would just mod it, the clean channel on the II/+ is a fair bit better anyway, the seperate EQs are useful as well. Modding it will give you the best of both worlds. I own a 5150 II and I think it's pretty great, but doesn't fit my style totally, I'm selling it for a Jet City.
There's so many...
An alternative is what I'm going to do in the near future.
Since cables almost always break at the ends (the jacks), I'm going to buy a big load of Neutrik plugs and just cut the broken cables down to whatever size I want and attatch plugs.
It's essentially the same thing but I'm not paying...
Yeah, the price almost seems too good to be true really. How close is it to Soldano specs? Also, you said it cleans up well, can it do jazz cleans? I've noticed that a lot of people are talking about the crunch with these amps, I'm guessing it does that well?
I've been looking at tremolo pedals as well. The EHX Worm is quite cheap, that's analog tremolo, vibrato and phaser and wah in one box for ~£65.
Not sure if it's as 'strong' as a tone as I'm looking for, but you may be interested.
Awesome man! How does this thing take pedals? I'm a bit annoyed that I can't use the footswitchable effects loop like I can on the Peavey, to save extra cables I'd like to be able to sit a delay pedal with some patch cables in the loop and sit the box ontop of the headshell, triggering it with...
What cab are you matching with the JC100H? Considering how cheap the Jet City cabs are, I may sell my Marshall 212 and get a JC cab with Eminence speakers. Not sure about 212 or 412. I'd rather have 2 212s for mobility, and the fact I drive a VW Polo, quite a small car.
I'd like to use it for...
