Peavey 6505+ vs Fireball

Id choose thr peavey. The fireball I played thru didnt have that "thing" that the peavey has. I dont know how else to explain it. They both rip at all gain levels but the mids on the engl are too refined. The 6505+ mids are border line obnoxious. I love that. For my tastes, rock isnt suposed to be refined. That being said, the crunch mode on the PV is money :rock: ACDC to full on grind with a boost. Stays chest cracking tight. Again, great cutting mids. Though every 5150 amp ive owned has been noisy as fuck. The fireball had a faint hiss on uber gain settings. Dollar for dollar, the peavey is the clear winner for me.
 
And also i have a question about the tubes :
1. If I will ever wants to change the POWER tubes(6l6GC) i should change the bias ? I know that if you buy a 4 matched tubes - You don't have to ( correct me if I'm wrong).
2. This amp is equipped with 6l6GC - i must put exactly 6L6GC or i can put these :

Yes... you would want to replace them with a matched quad of power tubes and check the bias reading. It may or may not need changing, depending on the how much current the new set of power tubes draws in. Those tubes in your link will work fine... but these will sound better: https://www.thomann.de/pl/tad_rt214_roeh ... artett.htm

best bang for the buck is the peavey. in all honesty, Engl is the european version of peavey. the fb100 is a good amp, but not worth the extra $$$

In my country Fireball is less expensive ;)
For about 300 bucks.

Thats the one I would go with. That Fireball 100 is such a badass.... :rock:
 
If you want a 6505 why not get yourself a chainsaw and chop up some pine. Same sound. Get yourself an amp and not a toy. Fireball 100 is the way to go. I've owned both. 6505 will make you sound good if you're a sloppy player because it's super loose and produces alot of standing waves. Get the fireball dude. I still use mine and i just recently bought a diezel herbert!
