Ed did not use alot of gain in his early days. Ed relied on his playing, presense, and resonace to get such a full sound. He also used a massive reverb tank, so I recomend getting a Line 6 Verbzilla for reverb. Don't a BOSS reverb because their product makes your reverb too harsh and not full and warm like Ed's. Just try the settings, you will love them. It will be hard to get used to the lower gain at first, (because it is easier to play with more gain) but you will sound alot less Heavy Metal and alot more warm Van Halen brown.

View Settings 5150 Early Brown Sound The Rhythm channel is for softer early Van Halen like Panama, Hot for Teacher, and songs with a little less distortion. The Lead channel is for a harder sound like Unchained, You Really Got Me, Aint Talkin Bout Love, and Eruption. The Rhythm sounds like a more fuzz with less Distortion. It sounds like if you go to a music store and play a Marshall Plexi on full volume. The Lead channel sounds like Ed's main "MODIFYED" Marshall used on all the early Van Halen I tracks. And yes his Marshalls were modyfied. View Settings 5150 Metal to the bone This setting will give you a fat and dry metal sound. I use a rocktron expression and a hush super C noise gate through the efx send/return. I had a bit feedback problems but the hush took care of that.

I played my PRS Singlecut loaded with a Gibson 500T bridge pickup and the stock PRS #7 neck pickup.(the Gibson 500T pickup was the pickup of choice for Tremonti prior to joining PRS and is identical in sound to the PRS Mark Tremonti bridge pickup) Volume on each pickup is at 10 and the PRS is strung with D'addario .009's. No effects used. I figured this sound out when I was in a Guitar Center store. I picked up a PRS Mark Tremonti USA model off the rack, and plugged into a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier half stack. Right next to it was a 5150 II half stack. The Mesa package was priced at about $4500 and the 5150II was priced at about $2000 for the half stack!!!! Blaze ON!!!!!!!!!

Jerry is a great guy and he knows how to get the best sounds out of 5150's. It's not a mod that makes the amp not sound like a 5150 anymore. Just takes out some gain to clear it up and give it more articulation and the bias mod warms things up and makes the gain sound less harsh. Really makes the amp it's best without making it sound like something totally differen't. Highly recommended for those who are even happy with their stock 5150. One tip that can help anyone. Make sure if you have High output pu's that you plug into the normal gain input. The high gain input sounds too fuzzy for high output pickups.

This is a much better variation to the "really good cleans" settings I submitted last time & is mainly for the RHYTHM CHANNEL.

It's Extremely responsive to your guitars Volume Knob with these settings & let me warn you it is L-O-U-D! But it's worth it. I use a full stack & the tone is Godly!

Totally stock block letter head from 1994 confirmed by Roger Crimm at Peavey Forums. I used two 5150 4x12 cabs from the same year too. I found it easiest to achieve good cleans when I used the neck pup in my Ibanez RG3120-a Dimarzio PAF Pro pup. I flicked to that pup in full humbucker mode & suddenly it just opened up & the cleans were there. I jammed like that for another 45 minutes or so just amazed that I found really good usable cleans form my 5150 that so many people say it does not even have a clean channel. WRONG. I even confirmed this with a friend that has a block letter 5150 as well. He too was really surprised. Check it out people, you just may like it. This works in either the High or Low input, but the CLEANS are much better in the LOW. But the Leads are way better if you plug into the HIGH, so it is sort of a toss up. Your call. peace.
