Amp Auction: PEAVEY 5150 - 2 12 COMBO AMP!

Amp Auction Description: Screaming metal drive like you've never heard before! This sweet combo is a veritable pandora's box of great sounds, and is built to strict specifications set up by Edward Van Halen. As with all Peavey 5150 amps they have the Brown sound - a smooth crunch sound along with great lush harmonics. The Peavey 5150 Combo amp is a combination of the Peavey 5150 amp design with two 12" Sheffield 1200 speakers. The amp features 60 watts RMS and is voiced to EVH specs. This is the same specifications used in his amps. The preamp section consists of five 12AX7 preamp tubes and two 6L6 power amp tubes. The preamp section has two channels: a Rhythm channel and lead channel. The Rhythm channel has both PRE and POST gain controls. It also has bright and crunch switches. The lead channel consists of PRE and POST gain controls so you can get any sound between ultra-clean to molten lead tube sound. The 5150 Combo also has a 3-band EQ (global) as well as Presence and Resonance controls. There is also an Effects Loop post-EQ as well as a preamp out for connecting to another amp or for recording. The speaker cabinet is of the closed back design and consists of Two Sheffield 1200 12" speakers that have been voiced to Edward Van Halen's specs.

I listen to bands such as In Flames, Unearth, Avenged Sevenfold, Machine Head, etc... This amp nails that tone and more. Before I bought this amp I tried out many of the suggested metal tube amps such as the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and the Marshall JCM2000 DSL 100. This amp can definately do battle with the best amps. The Dual Rectifier is much more versatile but the 5150 has amazing crunch and that cut-through edge for metal. There is a rhythm channel and a lead channel. The rhythm channel is good for classic rock and such. The lead channel is for DUH lead. There is an EFX loop in the back of the amp, 2x12" speakers with a closed back cabinet for tighter bass, a crunch button, and a bright button. The knobs consist of rhythm pre/post, lead pre/post, low, mid, high, reverb, resonance, and presence.
