I've been playing for 4 years and Im 14, I know my way around a guitar I have a Custom flametop epiphone les paul. Its one of the epiphones that beat some Gibsons. And oh yeah its a tobacco burst. But anyway I have a Crate fxt120 as my amp. But i NEED a half stack. And I was looking at this one. I was mainly wondering if this amp gave alot of feedback and if I should get a cab with celestion vintage 30's or Zakk's Black Label speakers. Thanks

I've been playing for 7 years. I play mainly metal and hard rock. This amp was designed for metal! My first amp head was a Peavey XXL. I eventually upgraded to a 5150 cabinet and that made my head sound so much better. I had my eyes set on the 5150 II head and I really didn't care much for the XXL head. When I got my 5150 II, I practically went crazy over it. It's got really great tone and some mean gain. I play a Epiphone Les Paul Classic, run a mxr 6-band EQ in the effects loop, and a few effects through the front end(Wah, phaser, tremolo, overdrive). I still have to retube it and from my research if anyone is wanting to retube their amp I would buy JJ Tubes. The are a good price and I've heard nothing but good things about them. The head's original tubes have a bite in the highs and the JJ's calm that down. Overall I gave this amp a 10.

5150's are only for true Rockers, not for little 14 yr old Slipknot kids with BC Rich guitars.

Hi Gunback If your into rock guitar then this is the amp for you its got heaps of crunch and an awsum clean channel to boot, you can get pretty much any tone you want from this amp, My friend and guitar tutor Ray Walmesley of Demon uses The 5150 MK2 as do many other well known players.

I use a Zakk wylde signature les paul custom bullseye with EMG 25th anniversary pickups and would love to upgrade my MARSHALL MG250DFX to the 5150 when I get to a good enough stage in my playing its a awsum amp you'll love it. Oh yes I almost forgot Hi the fonz what is your definition of a true rocker then and remember we all have to start somewhere just because the lads only 14 and listens to slipnot doesnt exclude him from being a true rocker. Theres also nothing wrong with bc rich guitars I know there not exactly les pauls or strats but there great to learn on many great guitarists use BC RICH Blacky Lawless and Chris holmes of WASP are very much BC RICH fans in caser youve forgotten that fact No offence intended of course

geetarguy92 :
hey whats with the 14 year olds getting bashed here im 14 and i dont play bc rich or slipknot i play megadeth on jackson guitarsand also i want this head it sounds goddamn amazing

TheCarl88 :
Theres nothing wrong with 14 yr olds, but BC Rich are far overrated, theres a reason Mick Thompson dumped them for Ibanez, he even said in an interview that they played like shit and that they were performing under par. Personally I play a jackson so naturally I'm gonna say Jackson all the way. For Siandos.BCRich, I'm an 18 year old metal head aswell and seriously man, Jackson vs BC Rich, the BC gets there asses handed to them, and no I'm not looking for an argument on the subject.

Hell yeah! I tried one out the other day & it sounds amazing! The $1999 price tag is the only bad thing about it! So I'll have to settle with my Peavey 5150 block letter head I paid $550 for.

stafford5150 :
there is nothing wrong with being 14 and wanting a 5150 head, when i was 14 i wanted one, but BC rich, i agree are way over rated, im an sg and les paul man all the way although i dont currently own a les paul. i have a jackson too mind but i need to sell if anyone is interested in it (rr3) stafford_biscoe@hotmail.co.uk

simoT.I. :
ok... i just got my 5150 II used only today... i was looking for that amp for such a long time and trust me if you are into METAL and HARDCORE this is heaven!! i tried the 6505 series and they simple DOESN'T SOUND like this beast! playing an ibanez s7320 7 string model and i run a mxr 6-band (i love it) and a boss noise suppressor (yeas the head is noisy, couldn't be happier... just one thing: push your gear to the top you don't need 1.400 $ stuff just find the amp that can cover your tone and few things to adjust it. the less things between your guitar and your amp, the more TONE to come... less gear talkin' & more guitar playin'!

(sorry for my english)
