5150 EL34 vs 6505+

[Maddnotez]

A 6505+ for $500 is a no brainer. That is my favorite amp in the line.

Just stumbled across a vid of Chimaira (didn't know that they were local to me) starting tour rehearsals and they were using a 6505 and 6505+.

they had a couple albums in the early/mid 00s that were classic 5150 tones

Those guys had all the hype back in the day. I remember first hearing about them at the New England metal Fest. Those guys and the red cord were the bands everybody was talking about

Yeah Pass Out of Existence and Impossibility of Reason were were the biggest ones. Awesome 5150 tones on those.

the first EP they had in i think 99 was on east coast empire records, which was mainly a CT hardcore label a couple of my friends bands were on, when they signed them everyone was like why did they sign this nu metal band from the midwest that plays 7 strings and has a DJ and shit, i think i was the only one that dug them, next thing you know they got on roadrunner and all the big fests. those first couple roadrunner albums were great but then i remember by the third album the singer was the only original one left and i just lost interest, think ill bust those albums out now

I was a big fan of Chimaira back in the day. Definitely where my 5150II love started. Less so of The Red Chord, but they were cool, too. Forgot about that band. I thought this song was cool.
