I'm using an ULTRA with a Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom Ebony (tuned to B Standard) with a Peavey 50/50 Poweramp and a Koch 2x12 cab.
The model I use the most is the 5150 model, I've always loved that tone, however, I haven't really been able to be completely convinced by the Axe's portrayal of some high gain models. To me, through my PA/cab setup, the character of the gain is always almost completely the same. I've theorized that this is mostly due to the fact that I'm not using the cab models and the mic models. However ... a 5150 will always sound like a 5150, no matter through which cab - it's aways recognizable.
So, what I'm looking for is that classic Peavey 5150 metal tone. We all know it too well, the low-mid growling, the smoothness, tightness, good attack, mean and snarling tone:
This is a pretty good example of how it should sound, minus the camera's phasing issues. The character is that classic 5150 tone.
So, I'd love to hear some experiences and tips from people that have been able to get that classic 5150 tone, but especially with a cab and poweramp setup. Getting it DI is a lot different, easier, actually.
Cheers!
