![]() I'm starting to acquire more pedals at this point too, and so far the 6505+ has actually handled them all very well.I have not messed with the loop yet, but that will be my true test to see if this amp will work for my needs, or if it's time to move forward. I have been writing many more laid back/clean parts, and short of buying a Deluxe Reverb, or another mark IV (I REALLY miss those cleans), this does the job for me. With the music I've been writing lately, the dual EQ is a must for me. It still has plenty to be desired, but it seems much more versatile this way. I used a 10 turn pot which allows quite fine adjustments. The mod is pretty simple - replace the 15k resistor in the last stage of the bias filter with a 10k pot in series with a 4.7k to ground. That said, at this point, I LOVE the fact that the PLUS/II has dual EQ.I may be a loner on this, but I think with the Rhythm channel set just right, the cleans are not bad at all.much MUCH better (and 'fuller') than the 5150. A very popular mod for the 5150 is to add an adjustable bias circuit which I did on this amp. It’s also the most diverse as you can dial in tones for almost any sub-genre of metal with this amp. ![]() From the original to the new BIAS FX 2, the ’92 Treadplate has been my favorite virtual amp from Positive Grid (including BIAS Amp 2). I still think they have a slightly different tone, but then again my original was bias modded and this one is not (yet). Modeled after the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier. This review will mainly analyze the 5150 Block Letter the original model launched by Peavey, comparing it to newer 5150 reissues/ Peavey 5150 Specifics. For the tone I got on my 5150 with the gain at 5, I now have to push the lead channel to 6-6.5, which isnt a big deal. The amp has seen many reissues over the years. My current 6505+ (5150II if you will) i love for different reasons.It will still bring the pain, and plenty of it.You just have to ask for more gain from it. With the bias mod, the cleans were much better than a stock 5150, but it still shares an EQ with the lead channel, so you are compromising there.But if you are just looking for a nasty amp, the 5150 will bring more than you asked for.everytime. My bias modded 5150 was just absolutely brutal.no 2 ways about it.That amp was just downright mean as. You can definitely get better results with it that the ones you posted though.I have had an original 5150 (bias modded) and now I own a 6505+ Two channels combine to deliver pure tube power that can deliver across any genre. If youre looking for a suite of common amps, cabs and effects for playing and recording, this is what you want. Bias FX is the all-in-one suite of amps and effects. ![]() This depends on the guitar and on the pickups, start relatively high and try lowering the pups to see how the tone changes, could be that yours works the best when the pups are very close, could be that they need some space.Īlso, BIAS, imo, is pretty crap. The 5150® Iconic® Series 15W 1X10 Combo delivers the culmination of Eddie’s life-long chase for the holy grail of tonesearing sound and growling gainat an affordable price. Bias Amp allows you to build/tweak/match custom amps that can be used as standalone models or imported into Bias FX. This plugin has a 5-channel guitar valve amp with 2 cabinets with microphone positioning. While it does not have all the features of the full version, the sound quality is the same, and one can still experience the analog quality of the tones. Make sure your guitar is in tune (yours isn't), has a good setup (intonation, action, etc.), and that the pickup height is properly adjusted. The AmpLion Free is a light version of the paid plugin ampLion Pro. Don't overdo the gain, use as little as you can get away with. 808-style boost is a great idea, gain at 0, level at max (or between 12 and max, to taste), and tone to taste as well. Power amp distortion has a HUGE effect on the tone, for metal you typically want to avoid it completely or use just a little bit of it, so keep the amp's volume level relatively low (figure out where the compression and distortion kicks in for the model that you're using). ![]() Start at with knobs at 12 and work your way from here. ![]() With amps, try to treat them as real amp. Some tips: use good IRs, IR is by far the biggest contributor to tone and it takes a while to find the right ones, not sure what to recommend other than trial and error. Also, to put it bluntly, the performance in this DI isn't very good, your tone highly depends on your playing, both in how you pick and how tight/on time you are. You also seem to have some interference in the background, it's either power supply related or just EMI, probably from the computer. Here's your DI thrown into my Helix Native patch that I use for practice (the reverb is off though just so that you can hear the dry tone): It's down to how you're tweaking the amp sim, yours is pretty bad sounding. ![]()
