  • What's better for Thrash/Heavy metal? Peavey 5150II or Engl Powerball head?

  • I don't know. Never heard an Engl in person. Just depends on the kind of tone your aiming for. Heard that the Engl is suppose to be a very good amp.

  • The first part reminds me of Hellion by Judas Priest. Seems like you were listening to that when you wrote the part, sick song though.

  • Actually I have never heard that song. I will check it out though. Not big into Priest even though the stuff I have heard from them are good.

  • what song is this

  • Its just a riff I came up with.

  • Yeah, I had that with mine and it was because of the tubes.. I hadn't replaced them from the day I bought it (back in 92). 15 years out of one set of tubes, gotta love that amp.

  • It may be tube related, although the first thing you should try is cleaning the FX loop jacks. Spray some contact cleaner in there and repeatedly plug/unplug a patch cable to clean the jack of any dirt/corrossion. Super common issue with this FX loop design, and it can cause a whole bunch of funky things to happen.

    New tubes isn't a bad thing, but if the return jack is messed up the problem will continue.

  • BBE sonic Maximizers suck tone, they are rubbish. These amps are great, especially for metal. Just put in some decent tubes, and throw a Bloody Murder pedal in front to tighten it up and it is a beast.

  • has anyone else had a problem with it all of the sudden getting really quiet? I think I might need new tubes.

  • 5150. If you go engl, check out the Savage or the SE. The powerball is muddy and overpriced.

  • slap a BBE sonic maximizer in that effects loop - $100 and it will change your life.

  • Neither, a jcm800

  • ENGL powerballs definitely have an awesome sound

    Especially the ENGL invader.

    I personally would go with them but they tend to be on the expensive side..

  • i found a good deal on one of these and it sounds great...but my biggest concern is to see if its reliable. have u gigged with this amp or had any problams?

  • stay away from the 5150II .
