    Dont forget the presence knob on the back! Youll need that on about 3 - 4 oclock to make the 6505 come alive! Ive got this pedal running into a Blackstar Amped 3 effects return, on the EL84 setting and its pretty close to the 6505+ I have. Theres a heap more gain than on the real amp and I find having at 11 oclock is brutal enough to still have the chunk when chugging. Great review, very entertaining!

    Thanks for another informative and fun video. TC electronic is part of the Music Tribe family (same holding as Behringer). I use TC electronic and Behringer stuff myself and I'm happy with it. I'm just mentioning it because many people have a strong opinion against Behringer but use stuff from the same plant without knowing it (Tannoy, TC electronic, Klark Teknik and others).

      Behringer has some good equipment, especially when it comes to studio rack units.
      Also some of their guitar pedals do sound great, unfortunately they still use plastic housings on some of those.
      I’m not a fan of these TCE preamps though, none of them sounds convincing enough over both cheaper and more expensieve alternatives.

    • @hereonmars
      @hereonmars 11 місяців тому

      @@JoeBaermann I still have never had one of the plastic housings fail on me. I gotta say when SweetWater first started carrying Behringer I was shocked, because they didn't tend to do the super cheap junk. But they had definitely stepped up their game a bit from where they were in the 00's.

    That pedal is great. I have a two-loop set up with a JHS looper so I can switch between the sweet Deluxe Reverb and the 550 within my pedal chain. From there, running into a synergy tube power amp, and then my 2x12 cab. Its dynamite. I have used 5150's forever, and for anyone to complain that they have too much gain.... well duh!!!! That's why hardly anyone with a brain turns the gain up that much, put it at 2 o'clock use an overdrive to put it into brutal-town. To anyone who uses 5150s and wants to have that brutal capable sound in an apartment setting like what I have, this pedal is a great option.

    Well it's not getting a really high physical coming 5000 miles away it sounds just right but maybe because you're 5000 miles away from me you're getting to hear more Sizzle at the high-end it sounds really spot-on and I think you're coming through just exactly the way you're playing it in the way I'm hearing it?

  • @wyattonline

    You have a point in spite of any post-creamer outcomes. I wonder if everything on/maxed sound is useful. But if someone likes it, I say cheers. (Prediction: Joyo will soon consider dropping the price of the Bantamp).

      @bubkusjones 11 місяців тому +1
