Dont see me getting rid of mine anytime soon.
Dave, how are you slaving that thing?
(does slaving mean you use the power section from another amp? - or have i got tit wrong. never get my head around that concept!)
Halford
why do you have to "bring the signal back up" sorry, never understood slaving to well
Halford
Pictue the 5150 as a preamp for the HH
That`s really all there is to it. Yes, it also powers the dry cabs, but the output line signal is the equivalent of a preamp signal
slaving = Good tone (most of the time)Nice work Dave!!

Bring the signal back up = taking it through a power section just like the signal from the preamp going into the power section.

So does the 5150 have a line out or are you hitting a Hotplate/loaddump device? I am wondering if I can pull this off with a weber HP load dump. Looks like this.

Great playing and tone! I think your playing is severely underrated around here. I would love to hear this in a band mix.

you wont get a tone like this by simply biasing the amplifier correctly. he has changed a few values internally - non-listed modifications that usually cost cash, time, shipping, or are not for sale at all.

Dave, you really need to share your slaving setup with the rest of us, that sounds great!

So what was the mod?

The OP says he won't be sharing as per the amp modders's requests.

HH=solid state power amp. (He describes it in the original post)

I dont see it described in the original post?
Out of curiosty (as always
) why run through a solid state power amp? why not a tube one? Halford

because tubes can potentially colour your original tone. while this is all good and great for preamp's being run into a tubed poweramp, with W/D D/D W/D rig like dave is running you dont want any colouration. you want the original tube tone of the dry cabinets, and the same dry tone to be wet-mixed in the wet cabinets.
the headroom provided by these high tube monsters lead to high maintenance costs with retubing and that alone can change your sound in a negative way.
so in daves account (and mine as well) i prefer solid state - and the H&H V800 is as good as it gets as far as the least amount of colouration as possible, stability, easy use, high headroom to keep up with the source amplifier, low maintenance, and any colouration that IS present will not do so in a way that changes the original tones with more tube colouration.

The 5150 is the best metal amp ever IMO.
