I opened for a Pop/Top 40 band about a year ago who had a guitarist using a Line 6 Flextone. It really sounded good for what he was doing. IME, the Line 6 modeling stuff sounds good for cleans and lower gain stuff. Once you start trying to get a high-gain, super saturated sound, it starts to sound really canned and flubby to my ears.

That's a Peavey 5150, currently sold by Peavey under a different name as the 6505. An excellent amp, and easy to find used too.

Dimmu Borgir? I think they use Engl. Terry at Guitars 'n Stuff in Vintondale (by Ebensburg) is an Engl dealer.

I'll defer to you here, Greg. I'm not really sure how to read the software GUI. lol

I don't have a clue what the part on the bottom named Reflektor is. A reverb? The bit on top is a 5150 head. There's one over in the For Sale section: http://rockpage.net/phpbb2/topic36598.html

Start with a guitar plugged straight into the amp (or amp model) and don't add anything else unless you have a specific reason to.

And if you go with stomp boxes, invest in a spatula.


True. ...You'll find plenty of reasons to add stuff as ya go along... Don't ruin that "joy"/addiction without giving it a proper time to play out.

Yep. That's the 6505 Plus (aka the 5150 II) which has a few extra features. They still sell the classic 6505 too. There's also the EVH 5150 III which has three channels and isn't made by Peavey.

This thing is unbelieveable. channel 4 has more gain on 3 than most amps full blown. The clean sound is awesome, but because it ohly has 36 watts, it tends to break up a little at higher volumes. The built in effects are top notch and you can use midi to switch everything.

Thanks for the props Dave. Im back Twisted Evil

Ive been using a Fender Mustang IV amp for about 3 years now..

Ive always tried to be a minimalist...less stuff, less problems...kinda thing..(Well...not always...in the beginning I was a Bring it all and blow them out the doors...but being 37...GEAR IS HEAVY....lol and my ears are still ringing from the Metal days...lol)

For what its worth, its all I need to get buy normal venues around the area. Its Fully Programmable, with a 4 button foot switch you can adjust to what ever your doing. It eliminates all the pedals you need to bring, along with a pretty solid sound.
The open compartment in the back of the amp houses my wireless and a HumDebugger (For those shows where when the furnace kicks on...your amp cries kinda thing). So its all together...no extra plugs... All I do is plug in my guitar and 1 outlet for power, and Im ready.
Ive gone digital...yea...I leave my tube amps at home, cant beat a tube sound...but....GEAR IS HEAVY and I love showing up at a gig, and in 3 min.(Tuning guitars included) Im ready.
