yeah I run a pedal into my 2203, I will keep the 2203, it's just that I need another flavor
for our forthcoming album. I was at the local musicstore today and I tested the 6505
again, so I asked them to keep it for tomorrow, when I'm going to buy it

.
I compared it to the dual rec in the store and the dual rec was actually very fizzy to me!
I loved the sound of the 6505 through the mesa OS. Exactly what I was looking for. It
actually got enough mids. To me the Mesa is way to "nice" sounding, the distortion is way
too silky. I understand it is working for metal but not really for our type of music. But the
the 6505 will hopefully nail it! Yes I will have to record it first before I can say I'm 100%
satisfied. So next week will be tracking with it, 6505 -> Mesa OS 4x12 -> sm57 & 421 -> Avedis MA5 and Api 512C -> Api 5500 -> Pro tools and we'll see
