6505+ Demo w/ Jackson DK2

[1976Stratomaster]

so shut your fucking nigger mouth bitch!

[1976Stratomaster]

greatestgatsby is a fucking nigger..............gatsby u r a fucking nigger and the whole world knows it now nigger

[greatestgatsby]

@1976Stratomaster Lmao whatever you say Cleetus

[sosulivan123]

oh my god i just wasted 51 seconds of my life.

[greatestgatsby]

@sosulivan123 And even more time wasted commenting. Your fault, fuckface

[ConnorFFHG]

Nice set up. just try cranking up the mids a bit more, and both resonance and presence. (:

[MrZaxyu]

Bro, your story is too cool!

[CasualDiscussion]

A great amp can make any guitar sound decent. Unless you fucking suck at EQ'ing. This is a demo. If you want to resemble a shitty tone, do it on a shitty amp with your other shitty gear. The 6505 is a piece of fucking work though, show it some respect, push the volume up and learn to buy a mic, and please add in some fucking mids. You literally, have your mids so low that live you'd be completely inaudible and worthless.

[greatestgatsby]

@CasualDiscussion Cool dude! Watched your video of your band. The recording sucks and so does the music. Good luck!

[CasualDiscussion]

@greatestgatsby Bro, your story is cool!

Lets see your band, EP's, T-shirts, and fans! Those things you obtain when people can HEAR you playing :D

[greatestgatsby]

@CasualDiscussion Send me your band's Facebook or Myspace. Whichever you use.

[cob4lyf04]

@CasualDiscussion not everyone has a lot of money

[me128166]

@cob4lyf04 and not all of us are good at guitar either!

usually, these same people fall in both categories.

[RideTheLightning1995]

way to ruin a song, faggit

[GrandRiffAuto73]

yeah, not the greatest vid....by far.

[greatestgatsby]

@Pwnersupreme Lmao. I did it to resemble Dimebag's shitty tone, fag. Also, gain was on 9 for the video.

[TheMetalerEricM]

@greatestgatsby

Dime's tone was far from shitty. Btw your squeals are shit.

[CobHatecrewNor]

@greatestgatsby Dimebag has a great fucking tone, and you didnt really play the riff at the beginning correct at all. I have never heard this amp sound this bad. oh wait, its not the amp.. its you.

[greatestgatsby]

@CobHatecrewNor taaank you very much!

[ryanisfootdrums]

@CobHatecrewNor

Dimebag's tone is tight, but the heavy scooped mids make me want to vomit.

[littlewahoo27]

@greatestgatsby why would you set your gain at 9?

[greatestgatsby]

@littlewahoo27 Why would you buy a Crate?

[littlewahoo27]

@greatestgatsby because it was 100 bucks for that, i mainly got it for the cab playin my dk2 through a b52, next up.. 6505+ through british made v30s

[EnsiGeetard]

@littlewahoo27, Dimebag has a shitty tone, deal with it.

You also seem to have a CRATE (Can't Really Afford The Equipment) amp, and you're sitting on the floor playing emocore songs, jesus.

[littlewahoo27]

@EnsiGeetard because the fact that i own a crate that i dont even use is definitely looked down upon, right?

[EnsiGeetard]

@littlewahoo27, yep.

[Cairnivore]

one thing you could improve on in your amp demo would be to play bigger more jazzy chords, i wana hear how weird combos of notes sound together

[Mudwurk7]

Why would you play Pantera through that set up???

[krankank]

Lol, diggin the name. That was such a crazy book.

[franktib]

th reason the tone sucks is because duncan designed jackson pickups are fucking junk. i have a 6505 and i bought a warrior and it sounded so junk untill i changed the pickups. i have bill lawrance pickups in my vintage kramer and it sounds so much meaner it unbelieveable

[ihatenatwolf]

sounded kind of...odd, the tone just kinda sucked for what you were playing

[blackmeinu]

I watch a lot of amp & pedal demo vid's by regular people using quality product's & having quality playing skill's, but it always sound weak, because of a webcam mic or direct- in. What they need is a good instrument (dynamic) mic. You can pick one up for about $100.00 Then your gear will sound good & people won't leave bad comment's.

[vexrob]

sounds absolutely thin and terrible...what fucking piece of shit settings do u have on ur amp lmao

[MrRatfinkJR]

"You suck"

[greatestgatsby]

Are you being serious here?

[MrRatfinkJR]

@greatestgatsby Fuck no lmao

[mitchell797979]

@greatestgatsby you dont suck

[biggb2345]

@MrRatfinkJR i agree to a certain extent of one hundred percent

[Craze702]

orange cabs have the best low end for breakdowns way better than Mesa!

[entrailsgalore]

Wow the tempo is all over the place. 6505+ are awesome heads though.

[StupidMusician]

is the orange cab good for hardcore, metalcore stuff? I'll use it with my bugera 333. would that be a good mach? [I probobbly misspelled it]

[DannyVss]

yeah there great,

there so good coz of the vintage 30 speakers and also thick heavy wood makes it sound good.

but they weigh a ton

[Notimeplay]

oh thanks. and what about the grill? it's different from any others. does that mean something in the sound?

[DannyVss]

haha nah not really and no problem

[anahowana]

u just forgot a little T : maTch :)

[MrIcefromheaven]

@StupidMusician Slipknot uses orange cabs, if you can pay for them and you typically play dirty or cleans just at the point of breakup there is nothing better imo.

I was shocked to discover the differences between orange cabs and others, if you perform with cabs get a great one, if you plug directly into a PA forget about a 412 you'll get better results with a mic'ed smaller cab

[johnnyrog2002]

It's the Vintage 30's, I have a 6505+ and it sounds like shit with those speakers. With GREENBACKS or G12T75's it's sounds more Warm, Articulate & Less Middy. Have to be careful with the 5150/6505 Speaker choices. I have RECTO 212 that I pulled out the V30's & Put in 2 G12T75's

[vexrob]

g12t75s in my marshall 1960A sounded really bad with my 5150 II. It was just too much treble and too thin sounding. a lot of the construction of the cab makes a difference to the woofing chunk noise that the cab creates. its a beast. i personally do not like the g12t75s

[gmbob22]

@vexrob mine is very bassy with the 75's, so i dunno, maybe i eq mine way differently

[SUPERTOUCHOX2]

you could get a hell lot more out of the really nice gear you have, im stuck with an epiphone sg and a marshall dsl401 combo and i can still get most tones spot on with just tweaking of the eq's and pickup/tone pot slection.

[purefernandes]

Did you buy the Orange cab cause it had a nice color?

[greatestgatsby]

Of course I did, why else would I buy it..?

[purefernandes]

that's what I tought

[nirson123]

haha nice

[Rocker8822]

You should definitely work on your timing, all the Pantera riffs here, you played in some odd time signature and the in between licks where not in time.

[greatestgatsby]

There is no "in between licks" This is all the one song, played how he played it. I did not throw in anything of my own

[Rocker8822]

I mean the parts at 00:17 and 00:20

[iamjackband]

@greatestgatsby

'played how he played it' haaha. nuff said.

[poppunk4444]

sick set up dude.

[stsski14]

I would be easy on this guy about the mids. I find most marshalls and my splawn sound good with higher mids. My 5150 just seemed to loose its bite with any mids over 4 or so. The voicing on 5150's is more boogie-like. The recording on the other hands is not the best so lets take that into account. The nature of vintage 30's seems to be more of everyone is describing. Lets be positive people... if you don't like the tone then make your own video. Bashing someone else's work is stupid.

[ghstofperdition09]

The obvious lack of mids makes this great amp sound like complete crap. I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just blunt by nature. Please boost your mids to at least 6 for a great metal sound. I know the whole scooped mid thing is popular, but imo you should buck the trend and search for a better sound.

[ElysiaLovesCakes]

how do u get rid of the board back of the face grill?

[doktorlindblood]

take a drill and try

[Xiderpunk]

This tone sounds muddy and thin, could be due to the recording I guess? Needs a hefty push on the mids.

[WizardDoom]

yeah it needs a boost not only for he mids

[antipunx]

Yeah...not trolling or anyhting, but I bet that tone sounds like total crap. Mids are what give you all of the clarity and shaping in your tone. If you play sloppy then it's better not to have the mids up, but it will just sound like mush with a ridiculously annoying high tone.

[BaLLin2thelimit]

olo

[BaLLin2thelimit]

lol

[BaLLin2thelimit]

isw

[BaLLin2thelimit]

yay

[ridefour15]

did you take off the wood from the front and screw the logos to the grill? Looks pretty sweet, I was thinking of doing that to mine.

[greatestgatsby]

Ya, I changed it back to the normal way though.

[adil2552]

Sorry, but doesn't sound good at all...is the master volume low or something? 6505s usually sound brutal

[beforezero]

i sense scooooooooping,

but doesnt look like it

[Willferox]

damn this is my dream setup and yet im 10 times better then u

[AndrewConfides]

how much was that orange cab ?

[greatestgatsby]

1,000

[AndrewConfides]

thats the cheapest they come ? and where'd you get it at

[greatestgatsby]

Ya, new they're 1,000. I bought it at Murphy's Music on Long island in new york.

[AndrewConfides]

i dont live in new york is there any other store, besides that and guitar center thats nationwide

[ericmhanks]

well where do you live?

[AndrewConfides]

socal

[ericmhanks]

well socal doesn't really narrow it down, but if you are near san diego there is a store in Mission Valley called The Blue Guitar. They have a great selection of Orange. They have the best selection of classical guitars if you are a student of classical guitar.

[AndrewConfides]

im from la, and i play more of hardcore/expirimental/indie

[diseased512]

dude, its pantera! we wanna feel the power! :D

but good job :)

freakin awesome rig, btw :D we got the same guitar, n i wish i could say that about the amp

[ESPguitars830]

some pantera? lol not bad at all

[onesunheard]

how easy was it to take out that back plate?

good test though. nice song choice

[greatestgatsby]

it was pretty easy, just remove the screws on the side, pull on the cage with an allen wrench, remove staples.

[vaidog56]

i wish 5150 and 6505 owners could play...o wait i can i must be the only one

[greatestgatsby]

Upload a video of you playing, let's see how much better you are.

[vaidog56]

mate do you want me to tell you the truth or sugarcoat it for you, you dont have much feel at all on guitar and ill post some recordings from my bands ep when we finish it

[DDUP101]

ah so you must be better than everyone who uses a 5150 or 6505

including evh

and the thousands of metal bands.

fuck off mate don't be a prick.

[supal33tkilla]

make that 2 of us.

people just like to spend all the money before they learn to play. i played on 1x12 line6 amps and a low end ibanez for 6 years. now im shredding though my 5150.

and its not that greatestgatsby is bad, he just plays like a robot. learn to relax when you play and you will sound much smoother and tighter.

[snapascrew]

cool look with the back plate out

[JohnMayer07]

Nice rig! I'm jealous.
