    Nice job Lee and John! Here’s a couple of pointers: it’s hard for a noise gate to remove the hum picked up from a guitar that close to the amp’s power transformer, or to completely eliminate guitar feedback. We made sure the gate reduced the amps noise a lot but not to the point of affecting its natural attack and decay. If you had turned the guitar down you’d hear what I mean. Also on the Presence control, like the latest 50W 5150 III we used a different taper that better spreads the knob over the whole range, so it might seem a little edgy at half or more. The volume reduction on the 1/4 power does help turn it down, so it does at least help get a reasonably low volume tone. The Boost kicks on a fixed 8dB input Boost PLUS the Boost knob is a Master Volume Boost, so even down you get more gain on both channels with it. Fun!

      @TheCyberMantis 2 года назад

      I'm still trying to figure out exactly what happens when you engage the "burn" switch. On-board TS circuit in the pre-amp? I'm sure that's a secret you don't want to reveal. ( I'm still waiting for gut-shots of this amp. No photos online yet. )

      @@jamesbrown7468 5/11/22 After some due diligence I went in my local music store to buy a Marshal dsl40cr then walked out with your 5150. I played through the dsl40 for 20 minutes trying to decide if I like it. My patient salesman suggested we pull out a new 5150 from an unopened box. Immediately I felt and heard a better sounding amp with more control also a way better gain for my taste. Thanks James Brown and a quick question, I have a Fender Showman 412 [ Cybertwin head bottom cab] Can I run my new 5150 through this 412 and what amp ohm setting would I use?

    Faithfull 5150 guy here... this thing is amazing. A TON of usable gain from rock, to indie, to hard rock, to metal, to whatever the kids invent next. The chugs are hard hitting to your gut. Everything will sound epic with it.
    Combo + cab for less $$ than many other comparable heads. Full stack for less than most other half cabs or even less than a high-end boutique head.
    If you're a hard rocker. Metal guy. This is amazing.
    Reasonable with single coils strat stypes... with a Les Paul you will be capturing everyone's attention. It's epic.

    Wow! What a great sounding amp! Maybe too much gain for the captain, but even at the highest gain levels it was still articulate and clear sounding. Not all mud and flub like so many other 6l6 style high gain amps from California. That drive mode on channel 1 with the Les Paul was hot rodded Marshall '80s rock all day long and a spectacular rock tone. Pricing is fantastic even here in Canada. I've never been much of a 5150 lover, except when Eddie played through them, but this amp may well find it's way into my collection for the solid balls to the wall rock crunch tone on channel 1. Also, the cabinet emulated DI actually sounded very very good and not significantly different than the miked up amp sound. This is not usually the case on Andertons videos when switching between miked and the DI signal. So that is also very usable. Liking digital John! Great player but also a highly dynamic player who knows when to really dig in or play pretty to demonstrate the best parts of the gear being demonstrated. Good shout on DJ.

    You definitely have a noisey preamp tube, these very high gain amps are prone to the microphonics. May have to try many tubes before you find a non microphonics. 12ax7 or try 12ay7

    This reminds me 99% of the old DSL series, no master, shared eq, few less inputs in back and a speaker( celestion 70/80) which many don't like... Considering the DSL CR newer series have all jumped like $200 on each model, I might consider this combo instead. Anybody with this combo switched to 1/4 power, do you get decent tones rather at loud ish bedroom volumes? My 40c old version even at half power, the lead channels are pretty unusable until you get the volume past 2.. I do dig 1/4 power output

      I bought one a couple of months ago and use it in the “bedroom” at 1/4 power and the volumes around 1-2 and I personally enjoy the tones at that volume but your experience may vary. I’m using it with an Ultra Strat, so not massive gain pickups, but I also tried it with a baritone in the shop (my next purchase) and it also sounded good to my ears and I was testing in the store at 1/4 power on purpose

    I find it a bit hard to believe that they're gettng that much gain out of only 2 ECC83s (and nothing else), when one of those is (presumably) acting as the phase splitter. Is there some solid-state circuitry as well?

    • @natec4339
      @natec4339 2 года назад +2

      The phase inverter is actually solid state. I want to say mosfet, but not 100% sure. I'm guessing they're using four gain stages with the two 12ax7s (like the 6505 mh). The two switches likely engage some clipping diodes, hence the volume difference.
