Hey All A question, I am really unhappy with my amp right now, it might be me but it sounds boxy and I cannot seem to dial it out. Has anyone noticed this or is it operator ignorance. Any suggestions in enhancing the tone on these amps, I am ready to sell it at this point and get a Ceriatone...

I am in the process of learning how to eq this amp. I don't have the right speaker yet but it sounds great, I am mostly messing with the clean tone right now which I like a lot. I have to say that I have also pulled the trigger on an amp I heard after I got the 5:50, I am one crazy old man...

Thanks jamme61 Much appreciated

Man, it is way cool, I can see how versatile it is already. A friend of mine who is light years ahead of me in ability played through it and I ran the dials. This thing is exactly, two hours after I got lol, the amp I have been looking for and I don't think that opinion will change down the...

Hey Guys, I got the amp but the person I bought it from forgot to send the manual and footswitch, it will be here monday or thereabouts, so I couldn't read any of that so thanks for the heads up. Call me crazy but if I even think something is not going to be optimum and I can do something about...

Jamme61 I already have a 5:50 it just arrived at my door an hour ago, wish I would have known that Peace Burnie

I got my g12-65 yesterday, I turned my amp on with the Tonker in my cab and played for about ten minutes and then put the g12-65 in. It was like night and day, I am sure it is not broken in yet. I played with single coils and on the bottom on the E and A strings first thru fourth fret it...

Hey All Newysurfer, I should be getting my 5:50 today or monday, thanks for your advice on the 5:50 you gave me on the Stombox Forum. I have been thinking of getting a clean boost pedal also that's why I chimed in here. What do you guys think of the RC Booster. I have a feeling this amp will...

I just bought a g12h-65 on ebay for a good price and I am trying to buy an Altec 417-8c. So now I have a Red fang a Tonker and a g12h-65. A friend of mine has a Scumback. The other speaker I would like to try is a greenback which I don't have. That should give me a wide range of choices but man...

Hey nice, and congrats on getting it working right. I am behind most of you in playing guitar, but I understand getting an amp you have always wanted and add to that the desire for beautiful tone, when the two come together it's a beautiful thing. Burnie

Hey, I/O, 6v6, it will get to me end of next week, Like all things it should be here right now. Thanks for the input, I'll keep my eyes peeled (not really) I wish I could find someone here with some of this stuff, no luck yet.. Thx Burnie I knew you were lurking around someplace I/O :shock:

I just bought a 5:50 head and I want to try some speakers, I have a Tonker and a Red Fang but want to try some higher watt speakers to see what I get out of the amp without speaker break up. I am bidding on a JBL K120 and an Altec 417-8c and looking at a Beyma Liberty 8 which is expensive, have...

I read Abe's post below and I have a set of those kt77s in my Silvertone 1484, and I really like them. I thought I would ask if anyone has tried these in a 5:50 or am I way out of line as I don't know a lot about plate voltages and all. Also what 6l6s do you guys like. I am in the process of...

Thx Guys, I am leaning toward getting a 5:50 but have yet to play through one. It's a long drive to a dealer so it won't happen overnight. I have been using Mfx units for a while and finally gave up on hearing what I want, but the sounds I liked are mostly from the Rectifier presets. Man, I...

I am new on this site, but I came across this and it pissed me off so I had to comment. I hate people who do this kind of crap. I recently bought a gnx3000 on ebay and it works fine but one of the little knobs is missing-no big deal- but the guy should have told me anyway-I emailed him and he...

I wasn't very clear with my post. I have read a lot of the posts here on the 5:50 and the Ace. I was more interested in what you guys think of the Nomad. Thx Burnie

Hey All, I am new here, thanks for the all the great information. I have a couple questions. I am about to buy a new or used Mesa Boogie, I am leaning towards the 5:50 which Newysurfer, who posts here, highly recommends, a guy I know from another forum has an Ace, he posted some of his tracks...

I am a new guy here, the reason I joined is my growing affinity for mesa boogie tone, it is way cool. Have any of you ab'd a 5:50 with a stiletto ace or a nomad 55. Those are the three amps I am looking at. I have tried an f30 and a nomad 45 but I like 6l6 tubes better than el 84's. Anyway I...
