i just heard about this although i havnt heard it before, seems like one of the best amps. im thinking about buying one eventually, and was wondering what should i get? thte combo or make a stack.what about the settings.?
i saw a thread on the warhead stack and i guess that was just a dimebag slapon market shit thing, but i want his sound. im not getting a warhead if u think thats what i ment.

Get your own sound :zzz:


5150 has one of the best distortions available for that price, but the clean channel isnt amazing, its not the worst ive heard but below average.

If your just a bedroom guitarist get the combo, if your thinking of recording any semi proffesional demos with bands or playing bigger gigs and think you need a decent tone then get the stack.

I thought tht 5150s had a lead and rythm channel, both intended to be distorted, rather than clean and overdrive channels?

theres a crunch button aswell i think. pressing it switches between overdrive and clean.

i can get my 5150 very clean, by keeping the rhythm channel gain at about 1, and adjusting the volume accordingly
