Peavey 5150 II | Classic for a reason (VIDEO)

[zzwish]

I fixed up this amp for a buddy of mine the other day and DAMN. I haven't played a 5150 in probably 8 years or so. Killer. ️

I have a 5150 that I posted locally. I asked for $550 and I just put 4 new power amp tubes and 2 new preamp tubes in it. I got low ball offers so I took it down and plugged it up. I'm glad I changed my mind.

Nice
Your videos are always killer
I've got one of these in the garage. Haven't played it in years. I've been using the modded 5153.
I think I'm gonna go try to find it... That sounded great!

Hah! I fixed this amp for a friend of mine and then I was on the hunt for one! Surprisingly there were very few out there. I feel like in the past you could always hop on Craigslist or something and see them for $600 all day long but there were none to be found. Also, I was being picky since I wanted a 5150 II vs the 6505+. Something about the big "5150" looks awesome to me. Snagged one this morning though! Figured they're affordable enough and it's a cool complement to my Friedman. Thanks for the kind words dudes!

Where you live I'll buy it.

Hey I unlisted and decided to keep it but if I change my mind again which is very likely I will let you know.


@halomojo
I definitely know what you mean by the 5150 vs 6505+. There is something very appealing about it.

Sounds killer!

And... a great reminder of how awesome some of those Andrew W.K. riffs are. To the Spotify!!!

As always, sweet video

Funny thing is I was just playing Ulvetid through Sjøhyenar (with a quick retuning for Mjød) right before I watched your video

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

Seventh Wave and Darkest Hour sounded killer.

Yesss! Always stoked when people know Kvelertak. Such a killer band.

Great tone and playing man. Def a classic amp.

 

[psychodave]

Wow, your clip sounds great.


The guy from Pagans Mind uses a 5150II and his tone is killer. I'd love to sound like him...

Thanks! and DUDE! Haven't listened to them in years, but I LOVED Pagan's Mind. I was always real into the Enigmatic: Calling record.

What tubes are in it now ? Sovtek wxt+ 6L6 or TADgc-str 6L6 I would recommend.

The lead channel on the 5152 is hard to beat, for me it kills some amps that cost double the price. Cleans and crunch are ok but it's high gain tones are excellent, throw a tubescreamer in front , level up gain down. Metal riff machine !
