Hey man, I just wanted to ask if you've ever had experiance with the build quality of these amplifiers. I've heard many things about this particular amp falling apart. I can't afford a Peavey 6505+ and this seems like an amazing steal but I don't want it to break after a month of owning it.
@person8132 There are known issues with the power supplies since most of the amp price comes with quality of the power supply used. However, if you are one to beat your equipment up and treat it badly, it will definitely fall apart.
nowadays Made in China tube amps offer astounding quality and sound at dirty cheap prices. Jet City, Bugera, even established companies like Laney and Peavey are outsourcing it all from China, they are all great amps. I have inspected some of them, great chassis, transformers, parts. Someone would have to be really dumb to spend 4 times as much to get the same results
@drugdrunkker Well i have the 6262 212 combo and humm i can't get it past 1 without my parents shouting at me -.- Its the same with the 333XL Btw how do you like it ? Did you try the 6262 ??
@MappingFreak I haven't really tried 6262 or not even 333xl because I haven't yet gotten it, but I have tried the amps that they were cloned of: Peavey 6505+ (6262) and Peavey JSX (333xl). Peavey 6505+ so much gain that at some points it almost felt unnecessary, and I play metal. Peavey JSX had a tighter tone and it still had all the gain I wanted. That's why I believe that 333xl is the amp for me.
It's too much poweful! I finally decided to buy a tube amplifier and what can I say?I took a 6262,is the tamed beast! Cleans are brilliant, lead metal sounds are huge with full range harmonics. The only thing is the volume: you cannot play at 80 db in the way to saturate all valves. I live in a very small town with friendly neighbours, that allow me to be a little rowdy. I hope this for everyone. Great amp, great sounds, it is made to rock!!!! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS KIND OF VIDS, SO HELPFUL!
From what I hear, this thing is meatier than alot of those expensive, high end amps out there like Mesa Boogie or Soldano. Heck, I'm getting the combo for christmas! :D
@LostAngelsjk99 It's pretty much component for component an exact copy of a 6505 plus. These are the amps that rule death metal. In Flames, while not "death" uses them and the predecessor, the 5150. 5150 is the same as the 6505 and 6260 and the 5150II is the same as the 6505plus and 6262. Chimaira uses em, I think Five Finger Death Punch does and Sylosis used a 5150 for the "Conclusion of an Age" album. That's all my memory holds right now sorry....
@TheGnarchitect for what I heard from mine (I have one identical) it's even set at low volume, on the viperabs video. I have the same sounds with a low saturation settings, if you go louder it starts to push tremendous harmonics and great basses. Defined and warm. It begins to sing... You know, at low volume every amp is a bit tight, included a transistor amp. This can be a problem with a 120 watts tube amp!! Anyway, I could not be happier with that.
@valdakus Yes~~totally agree with you..luckily... Are Real Metal Guy with a Real Metal Amp ..but not a blues/jazzz guy's with a Metal Amp..Great Review
do my ears decieve me??? were you playing Yngwie Malmsteen? Should've played the rest of Trilogy Suite instead of switching to whatever else that was you played and the In Flames lmao
@viperabs i have the same amp but i can't get that sound and that definite palm mute :( maybe because you have the blackouts on a jackson and i have seymour duncan alnico pro 2 on an epiphone lp standard :)
The 6262 is pretty awesome, but in comparison to the EVH (mind the giant price difference), it has a whole lot less bass output. Even through the same cab, it can't compare to the immense amount of bass the EVH head throws down. I would venture to say Opeth uses the amp strictly for its clean and uses a series of pedals, since the Laney's have GREAT clean tone.
Scooping the mids to shit = nooby mistake.

No, this amp sounds good with gain at 6. Thereafter it just adds feedback (for my tastes). I like to do minimal gain for saturation.
viperabs 1 year ago
@viperabs uu understood :) it sounds really good! what setting did you use to get that fantastic sound in lead channell?
izzy92rock 1 year ago
I used my typical amp settings of Gain - 5, EQ - 6,8,6 or so. It really just is a great sounding amp.

I liked this amp a lot too. heavier, deeper, crunchier than the othe rbugera, and that VH100, Isnt even close. is it deffective or something?
if im not mistaken, Opeth uses it and can get a pretty good distortion.
maybe they are using somethign extra, like a pedal to boost the preamp.
Hails.
