there was basically nothing correct about any of what you just said.

taken to pm's as a calculated risk, as i'm not entirely confident that you can handle the pm system.

sorry for the noise, guys.

Fender's noiseless line of pickups aren't active.

Fender still sells the active mid booster that he used with Lace Sensors in the early 90s though. Dunno why anyone would want it, and the Lace Sensors themselves are not active pickups.

Not even going to get involved in the artist tone thing. I will say that no 5150/6505, or 5150II/6505+, has active tone controls. The XXX and JSX do, and are the real next step for the Ultra/Rockmaster/Ultra+ preamp system.

i thought the 6505 and the 5150 were all based on the ultra gain circuit except they referd to it as a boost button u pressed on the 6505....then what does that button do, iit was in my lead channel of my ultra gain i coul have sworn i saw it on teh 6505

toshiro · #52 03-18-2008, 01:59 AM

They have a crunch switch on the "clean" channel.

losgatosrg350dx · #53 03-18-2008, 02:49 AM

yeah that was it, it was also on my clean channel, that switch is a active switch....on my ultragain, wasnt the same feature on the 6505

i thought they had it too?? either way it sounded better in than out i think
i sold my ultra gain a couple years back

losgatosrg350dx · #54 03-18-2008, 03:45 AM

well now that i think about it im not sure anymore, i could have sworn there was s switch on one sid,e the lead or clean channel, that was a boost or a bright switch....either way i think my tech had told me is activates a active circuit, so thsi feature wasnt available on the 6505..??

No, there are no active tone controls on the 5150's/6505's. The clean channel has two push buttons, one is bright, one crunch. On the 5150 II, and 6505+ neither set of eq's are active. Neither has/ever had a built in noise gate either.

shreddingjoris · #56 03-18-2008, 10:54 AM

Alright, i seem to get allot of info from u guys, thxs, another question... what's the best/or very decent EQ? i never experimented with this on a amp....

no way then why does the 6505 sound much more noiseless then a 5150

dont they have like a built in semi-noise reduction in the circuit..??
that what my impression on the amp was

texshred777 · #58 03-19-2008, 02:31 AM

I don't know that a 6505 is that much quieter. I've had a 5150 that wasn't really bad, and one that that was terrible. I've also played 6505's that were every bit as loud as a 5150. If the 6505's now featured a noise gate, why would peavey not advertise such a feature? Or at least list the feature on the spec sheet? I doubt there would be a cover up.

losgatosrg350dx · #59 03-19-2008, 03:18 AM

i thought it was just a circuit spec somewhere in the amp, like not a FEATURE just like something that has a higher resistance value on the input or something wich reduces noise

anyways, that was my impression

for production, cost, and value they did limit the features and sepcs, but not for evh

EVH's 5150's that he had at the time most if not all were stock. There was an interview with one of the Peavey employees on that very subject on the wolfgang registry website.
