| _______________________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 5:10pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] nice i just picked up a laney head with a 5150 cab |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 5:14pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] W3 playing amps with no ")))"s on them? It's moar likely than you think. |
| _______________________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 5:23pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] lol hey i could have gotten those but that shits pricey and i gotta get a place by the end of next month. |
| _____________________________ [Mar 8,2009 6:55pm - Blue ""] Good gear is good |
| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 7:29pm - fishcakes ""] just got an ENGL powerball !!!! anyone here wanna sell me a road case for it? |

| __________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 7:48pm - fishcakes ""] so start a band |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 9:01pm - xanonymousx ""] yeah man im trying anyone have any recommended settings for this beast? |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 9:04pm - ouchdrummer ""] i'm still waiting on a 6' and a 9' tom from tama. It took em 6 months to get my 4 piece to me, it's been 4 so far.... maybe the sparklee purple finish takes longer? |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 10:12pm - My_Dying_Bride ""] my lead - pre 7 Low 8 Mid 5.5 high 7 post 4-7 res. 3.5 pres. 3 but i also run this through a bbe and a quadreverb for lead delays so it may sound a bit diff and mines a 5150 |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 8,2009 10:50pm - spacecorpse ""] I just got a Powerball too Fish. I love it. How you liking yours? For me it's the best amp i've ever played and the quality of it is impecable. |
| ______________________________ [Mar 9,2009 12:59am - Blue ""] my old 5150 II settings: pre 4.5 low 6.5 mid 5 high 6 res 5.5 pres 5.5 boosted with a modded tube screamer. i found myself always tweaking the highs/presence to adjust to wherever i was playing, i always remembered it to be really finicky regarding the high end (which is the case with a lot of tube peavey high gainers). powerball vs. ampeg vh for heaviest sounding amp evar |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 3:44am - spacecorpse ""] I use a Powerball with a Vader cab and it's sounding really good but... I mean...I was expecting that when I dime the bass and the Depth boost on it that the bass would be too much or overwhelming but that doesn't happen. There's enough bass and it's really ight sounding but... is it just me or could there still be more bass in there? it also might be the cab haha it's rated at 480 watts. But the crunch is amazing and it's the best best best amp for me. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 9:21am - metal_church101 ""] I am still sporting a 5150 cab housed in a hard shell case. Congrats on the new gear. |

Funny coincidence you mentioned that. Gotta get my hands on an abc box though. it's fuckin huge sounding |
| _________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 3:12pm - brian_dc ""] Powerball with gain on 3, bass up, mids up, treble down, presence down, depth boost nilled focused mid mode for the win. You would hate the way that sounds, but I live for this shit. |

Cant go wrong with Bill J. MacGuyver. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 3:37pm - metal_church101 ""] Someone has offered selling me a Krank Revolution 100W head. Not sure for how much yet, so I will be debating that one in the near future. In the mean time, having fun experimenting around with different tube configurations in my Peavey Valveking (yes, the budget of budgets tube amp.) |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 3:56pm - xanonymousx ""] how much did it cost you to get your valve king to be modded like that? not like i'm going to spend another grand on an amp in the near future. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 8:30pm - JDDominationnli ""] goddamn right, cheers to Macguyver, dude fuckin kills. I'm not gonna reveal how much he charged me without his consent cause I'm not sure he'd want that. I think I got a deal cause he's my friend. But it wouldn't be even remotely as much as the head itself. hey Anthony btw the head sounds huge! So clear and loud as a head can be. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 9,2009 10:12pm - aegathis ""] yea my heads pretty huge too, people like it, thanks Bill. |

| _______________________________ [Mar 10,2009 1:07am - Murph ""] At least from what I've heard [img] That is the way to treat a Powerball, pair it with a Bad Cat (raaaaaaawr). Got a small dick? MAKE BIGGER TOAN. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 10,2009 10:09pm - xanonymousx ""] i like the rick flare in the background, blue is that tube screamer through the effects loop? you guys are making my purchase seem like nothing thoughh hahaha all that fucking amp porn. |
