Title: New Amp Day
Post by: yellowv on April 22, 2009, 02:37:08 AM

Well I kind of got tired of my Legacy. It was a great amp, but not metal enough for me. So I got uber lucky and found a guy looking to do an even swap for exactly the amp I wanted for a Legacy. Without further ado pics.
Wait a second I traded a Legacy!!! Why am I getting another???

The amp is in great shape and sounds awesome with the new tubes. I am very happy with it. I'ts just missing the logo plate. I am going to make up my own and it will look a bit different than most 5150's. I will post pics in a few days with it's new look :)

Nice one, how are the JJ's? Im in need of some new powertubes and theyre the easiest for me to source here.
Also what up with the ground lift switch on the back? is that a mod thats been done to it?

The JJ's are great. They came highly recommended. The ground switch is on all the 5150/6505's.

Its not on my one, ive got the same signature model mk1, are you in the US?
I'm in NZ so maybe it was a difference they had between 120v and 240v models?

Great amp!

I bought one in early '90s, one of the first available in Germany, it was my first head (I had played a Caliber 50+ combo before). I can still remember the big fat grin on my face when I first switched to that 2nd Channel, amazing fun to play, it's so out of this world of an overdrive sound  :D
