Great amps. The clean sucks ass but for great for rock and metal! Loud as hell too!

thats actually kinda kool. i like how it has been split. it would make for easier transport thats for sure. i know victim5150 owns one, and could give a better idea of the actual tones, but like gbsmusic said, the cleans are almost useless, but the gain is incredible

if i could do it all over i would own a 5150 combo instead of a 5150 II with two 5150 cabinets.
much clearer gain, more enjoyable, more practical for bedroom and live use, and through some greenbacks or V30's they fucking slay

Do they sound as good as the head?

I always liked my 5150 combo. Nice and aggressive as expected from a 5150. The only problem is that they weigh in at about 90 lbs if I remember correctly.

i dunno why, but i agree as well. not much in circuit design differences, but there is a definately tonal difference. i prefer the combo, but not enough to sell my 5150 II.

I had a 5150 combo...what an awesome amp. I traded it for a 5150 II head and tone-wise it was a bad trade. That damn combo must have weighed 500 pounds, or so it seemed. 
I took the combo to a Sam Ash to trade, and while they tested it and subsequently offered me some absurd trade in value, a guy who heard it ended up doing a deal with me in the parking lot. I got the new 5150 II head for a song, but I think the combo walked all over it in terms of tone.
