Peavey 6505 vs Mesa Mark IIC+

[7704A]

In the mix I mostly preferred the 2C as even scooped the mids have some sweetness to them. Solo'd I liked the 2C a little less and the 6505 a little more. Didn't like either of them overall though for a lot of the same reasons everyone else said. The 2C is too scooped, leaving just the low-end and a bunch of fizzy high stuff and the 6505 has this weird mids thing going on. I can't quite place where it is, but it sounds like there is this weird mid hill that just shoves fizz in your face and makes the notes sound flat. I haven't met a 5150 I liked in part because of that.

Next time you play a 5150 try scooping it. Like really scooping it. Keep the treble low ish (4) or so then the presence high past 8.

Yep, that’s the sweet spot. Presence knob does nothing until right about 8 also.
