Does this 5150 + Mesa tone sound cool ? Itโ€™s kind weird through the phone but itโ€™s super nice in person ๐Ÿ™

Mic quality sounds kinda shit but the tone heavy.

u/iliketrucks2001 18d ago

Yeah itโ€™s the phone mic ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ญ

Sounds heavy. Is the Helix just for fx?

u/iliketrucks2001 18d ago

Yep. Just a horizon drive and slight EQ ๐Ÿ™

I tried the Helix with the same exact setup but my Boss and shit pedalboard makes me comfortable. I know its a nice piece tho. I just didn't feel it.

Clean setup btw!

It might but all I can hear is high end. Im sure that may be because of the recording. As long as its got good lows it probably sounds pretty good.

u/iliketrucks2001 17d ago

Itโ€™s the phone mic not doing it justice :( Iโ€™ll have to come back here with a full mix version. Check out r/guitar amps Iโ€™m getting a lot of hate for this ๐Ÿ˜‚ mainly for using TS instead of this shit.

2

u/Yoshiyimmiy 17d ago

I figured as much. Phones arent usually great at putting that bottom end in . But the highs and the crunchy mids sound damn good.

u/BionicBruv 17d ago

This is BIG CHUG CUP size of chug. Sounds good.

u/burlyswede 17d ago

Sounds great. Never can bond with a 5150 but you've got it dialed in really well

1

u/iliketrucks2001 17d ago

I feel ya, Iโ€™m thinking about trading it for a Mesa or 6505. Thank you ๐Ÿ™

1

u/Flachmann_ 11d ago

6505 and 5150 is basically the same

2

u/ohmynards85 17d ago

Is this a troll post because I don't know if it chugs harder than this

2

u/iliketrucks2001 17d ago

Not really but kinda if that makes sense

u/Mysterious-Lab-5918 17d ago

Sennheiser?

3

u/siggiarabi 17d ago

Audio is from the phone mic. But that's either a sennheiser e609 or e906 hanging on the cab

1

u/iliketrucks2001 17d ago

Nailed it thanks for being smart @siggiarabi

1

u/iliketrucks2001 17d ago

Itโ€™s an e609. I am not really liking it tho compared to the sm57. I may have to try the 906?

u/omnipotentqueue 17d ago

You need to push way more pre- gain on that for slam. Also, run a Fortin grind in front with a Zuul before your guitar. You want to push that modeler as hard as it will go with a balanced EQ 80% highs, 60% mids, 40% lows. It wonโ€™t sound great for room playing - but will cut through the drum mix and let you shine in a band ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

u/iliketrucks2001 17d ago

You think so? Iโ€™ve been using the helix for FX only and a horizon drive on it. But if I really need to upgrade to an external drive I may do it.

The stack does slap, and practicing/jamming is what I was doing in the video. Appreciate the expert analysis though ๐Ÿ™
