#HighGainHarmony

[@Taustavoima]

I would love a series called odd couple. For example edge of breakup fender blended with 5150.

[@jimbobgary3]

Check out the old Dorje video on the recording of Aeromancy. They essentially did that for the guitar tracks

[@radzloko]

Yeah!

[@anonymouslyplaying5038]

Dave Friedman mentioned this guy he knew, who had been running Mesa triaxis +Mesa poweramp in parallel with a Fender Evil Twin with pedals in front.

[@fvckoff4ever561]

That’s actually an amazing idea!

[@martinwagner3835]

I would like to see a Engl Powerball and a Orange Rockerverb, please.

[@jarrusjenkins]

I suggested the rockerverb with the slo i've since deleted the comment.... i like your idea better.... Rockerverb and Fireball ftw

[@gettestudios]

@@jarrusjenkins I agree

[@Magic_Man916]

I feel like the orange would stack very well with a lot of different amps, honestly

[@heyimjoshnicetomeetya]

Orange blends well with a lot of high gain amps. I imagine it’d sound monstrous with the Engl.

[@justbob242]

Bea, watching you is like meditation. Such a calming force in a cluster fuck world. Thanks man. Keep this shit right up. As you would say, I'm chuffed to see new vids.

[@xgoodvibesx]

Suggestions: Marshall JCM800 & Mesa Rectifier, Engl Fireball & Mesa Mark, Orange Rockerverb & Engl Savage

[@almightytreegod]

I second the JCM800/Mesa, though I'm not particular on the Mesa. I've got a Tremoverb myself and would love to hear that with the 800

[@ryanvillain7857]

Yes! Mesa and Marshall combos!

[@RyanAmplification]

Bring this series back please! And it would be cool to hear 4 different amps in harmony.

[@NaXuSGaming]

Can't avoid noticing, what a admirable weight loss ! You rock it dude keep it up.

[@kylecoffey6010]

Soldano SLO & Fryette 100/CL - you know how your getting no clarity out of the PV5150 & it still sounds amazballz! Imagine the other end of that sonic spectrum. More clarity & percussive feel than the SLO with the EL34 overtones... you need to try this one!! Another Excellent video Rabea! BadAss chops & tone!!!

[@tomrafal3655]

The 5150 was born when Eddie was using the preamp section of an SLO into the power amp of his old Marshall SLP according to James Brown, the design engineer from Peavey.

[@OTTOAUDIO]

Source me on this if you can, have watched many James brown interviews as well, never heard that.

[@tomrafal3655]

@@OTTOAUDIO it was in the Peavey Monitor magazine when the original 5150 was released. They interviewed Ed and James about it. I'll try to find a link if the article is online.

@@OTTOAUDIO all I can find is copies of the magazine for sale on eBay. Apparently all of F.U.C.K was recorded with the SLO/SLP frankenamp from what I remember.

[@lydfar2392]

Could be that it's just a myth. There is a resent podcast here on YT with Brown, where the topic was the early versions of the 5150. He said that they were starting from scratch with a new design. It would make sense though, as he did use a Solano preamp at the time. I remember it, like he said that Eddie wanted something completely new. He always liked to experiment and building new stuff. But try searching for it, it's been a while since I watched it. 🙂

It’s fun to watch a guitarist finding a new sexy tone that, pardon the pun, strikes a chord in his heart.

[@wi11.0w1sp]

I have been blending two amps in my rig for about 2 years now. I used a Mesa TC50 and an EVH 5153 50S for a while and transition from both 3 channel to Mesa TC50 and a Supro Galaxy 50w class AB amplifier. Experimented more and settled on a Marshall 2266 Vintage/Modern 50w single channel with KT66s and a Supro Galaxy 50 with 6L6s. I have been truly amazed at the clarity and low end resonance of the Supro and the Midrange bite from the Marshall 2266 VM. The blend amazingly well through a 1960A G12T75 cab. I run my wet effects through the the Supro's tube buffered FX Loop and have two preamp signals running to them both. Fortin Grind>Highwind Direwolf MKII>ABY> Marshall 2266VM. Walrus Audio Emissary>EQD Plumes>ABY>Supro Galaxy50. To retain the low end of both signals I use a Way Huge Saucy Box in t Walrus Audio Julia V2 into both amps. Truly the best rig I have built. It allows so much control over the amazing tones of both amps and also give you abilities like cutting the low end of both amps on riffs and the ability to bring it back two both with a stomp on the Way Huge Saucy Box. Ambience reverb and delay through the Supro and a sharp and dry crisp crunch from the Marshall. Love this series Bea! Cannot wait for your next 6L6 EL34 amp blending. I love blending EL34s with KT66s and KT88s. 6L6s and KT66s give you the best of EL34s without a low-end cut while the 6L6s do their thing. The doubling sound it a chorusing phase essential to my inspirational tonality of Adam Jones. I don't own a Diezel VH4 and Marshall Super Bass that's SL Plexi modded but I ge the closest I have ever with this current setup. Keep making blending amp heads a tonal must for any gearhead!!

[@shaggyrogers637]

After listening to you and many other guitarists on YT, and through a miracle, I got a soldano slo 100 that I run along side a BE 100 deluxe. Love your work m8…

[@peterwurzel1703]

The tool duo: Marshall super bass + Diezel vh4.

[@peterwurzel1703]

@Joey Bensen your opinion.. I think, its pretty good actually. However trying those two amps together is about the guitar tone not the new album... I'd also love to hear what other tones would be possible with that combination.

[@ShockBot127]

Man. It's been a while since I've been a rockstar, ( in my own head ) with ambition, and ingenuity flowing from the fingertips. You remind me with your playing, of those days. Many thanks!!!! I've decided to try to find that critical musical/life thread again.

[@krzysztofjb5242]

I watch this another time, and another. Absolutely mesmerizing! The way these amplifiers blend together creates a symphony of tones that's both unique and inspiring. It's like each amplifier brings its own personality to the mix, resulting in a rich, multi-layered sound.

[@bhosterman]

Mr. Miyagi say "Maxon, Maxoff". Killer tones and riffs!

[@JamesJackson-ol3wq]

Those gain tones were incredible, no wonder you were getting so into it! I'd love to hear if you could recreate all these tones with the Neural SLO and the Nolly plugins together?

[@Gnomesaw]

Rabea giving me 25:31 of the best minutes in lockdown here in Australia. What an awesome video to wake up to. Cheers mate

[@bags5150]

I’ve seen guys run plexi with the soldano. And it sounds good together but the 5150 with soldano is a great tone. Great video!!!!!!!! As always.

[@crawfys85]

Hey Bea, I’ve got an Invective 120 and live in Brighton. You’re welcome to borrow it for a future episode of High Gain Harmony! Be interested to hear it with its older brother, the 5150, or maybe against something English/EL34?

[@nutellaking734]

I frkin love this series! PHAT amp sounds combined with other PHAT amp sounds is so simple but I just can‘t stop listening to it

[@S1MN05]

One thing I’d like to hear is the two amps split with the TC Mimiq on. Another is the Stereo signal of both mixed down to mono for comparison so the two sounds are really on top of each other.

[@jamesesuit]

My current stereo rig is a SLO 100 HS boosted with the KHDK Ascendency and Triple Rectifier HS boosted with the Airis Parallel Drive. I love it and it's super fun.

B, I love this new series. It really provides a great opportunity to get familiar with individual amp characteristics. Thank you for recording this in stereo, it makes the contrast well defined. I watch your work anyway but I'll definitely be following every new edition of this series. Love the Duvell, sexy finish.

It's interesting, on the light crunch sound with delay at around 7:30, the Soldano on the left side has more presence and articulation, but the delay rings out more clearly on the 5150 on the right. It actually sounds really, really cool.

[@vladimirbrezgunov]

These amps are in my top 3 ever, including Uber. Great couple. Set them up on Axe-fx III. First I selected 6505+. Was wonderful. Then switched to Block Letter. I know it's farther and son but they sound ridiculously similar in a good way. Like one amp in true stereo. And tight AF! Even with different IRs. Eternal love! Thank you for these series. Go next with Recto or Orange maybe.

[@Sven.Jeschke]

Marshall Valvestate 8100 & Soldano SLO 100? The industrial coldness of the Valvestate combined with the organic warmth of the SLO could be a very interesting pairing! I see a lot of potential in this series. Great idea!

Thanks for this video! I have the SLO pedal and i love that tone, but I don't see myself having thousands to throw at a head, however a 5150 is much more reasonable and the fact that the sound is soo close really makes me think i may just need to look into grabbing a 5150.

I like the 5150 sound, but it's always been kinda muddy, or undefined with oversaturation... I would be interested to hear the Sol with a Recto, as the 5150 & recto pair nicely.... A good O.D. helps a lot.. I blend my recto with a Marshall 6100, sounds amazing. Maybe an EVHiii?

If you would please try a blend of the Orange Thunderverb 200 with A Soldano SLO 100 and/or a bland of the Orange Thunderverb 200 with a Deizel VH4! The Thunderverb has a great all around sound but is known to have great low end , therefore I think it would pair nicely with the mid forward cascading gain stage of the SLO 100 or even the VH4! I hope that you can make this happen. Love all that you do for the fans Rabea!

[@drzylophone]

Hi Rabea, one of the best live guitar sounds I have ever heard was when I watched Hoobastank. Their guitarist was using what looked like a Vox AC 30 and a Mesa Boogie Dual rectifier. I assumed he was running them together as, there was such clarity and a glassy edge, mixed with the high gain you would expect from a rectifier. Would love to see you demonstrate this in the channel.

[@AdamGoodall91]

This might be an odd one, I'd love to hear how these kind of high gain amps can be paired with plugins.........people that can only afford one amp perhaps or only have space for one, and want to run it in stereo with a Neural DSP plugin to see which amps go well with which plugin =]

[@toom6087]

Keep going on with this high gain harmony thing. Love it ! I used to blend the SLO100 (mine is an original one) with old Rectifiers (Rev F or Rev G). This is the best high gain sound ever. I don't like the 5150. I had one in the 90's. When you play a Soldano SLO, you don't want a 5150 anymore. The EQ of the old Rectifiers work the same as the EQ of the old SLO. Best EQ ever made in the universe. The Rectifier gives just more low end, a tsunami of bass (the 2 channels Recto, not the 3 chan). The SLO stay articulate. Both amp blended is just perfection. The Rectifier Rev F is better for riffs, the Rev G for solos because of its parallel FX loop for the analog mono delay (Boss Dm-2w, Way-Huge EchoPuss, JHS PantherCub, etc). I keep the SLO for both. No FX in the SLO. So I play wet/dry. The Steve Morse recipe. Another high gain harmony you can try : - Diezel VH4 channel 3 with old Dual Rectifier 2 channels on high gain. My Diezel is a stereo one (2x50W), loaded with 6L6s, so I do a kind of wet/dry/wet parallel thing with. - Mesa Mark IIC+ with the Diezel VH4 for the clean. On high gain, this is Metallica. And on the crunch, you will get AC/DC mixed with Santana, strange but good ! I don't like the Diezel VH4 with the SLO. - Bogner Ecstasy red chan (mine is a 25th anniversary 101A, means 6L6s) with Dual Rectifier 3 channels on high gain. It's really good on solos for the modern/vintage vibe. - And of course for rhythm guitar : old Marshall JCM800 (mine was made in 1982) with the old 2 channels Triple Rectifier. The spank and the boom at the same time :) The JCM800 is so loud that I need the Triple 150w Recto (a Rev F too) to play with. PS : 4x12 cabs loaded with V30 all the time here, no load boxes of shit. Old school. I own the Maxon too. As a purist, I swear this pedal is shit. You think it's better at the beginning, then you realize it kills the tone of legendary amps. The 808 is an heresy. You just need to play better, stronger, and your amps will give you the best. Especially if you play both amps in parallel.

[@picksalot1]

That was cool. I've recently started experimented with using dual Cabs for a single Amp on a Modeler - HX Stomp, with very good results. Everything sounds bigger, more dynamic, more real, etc. I would be interested in hearing a comparison of Dual Amps vs Dual Cabs. I believe dual Cabs use less DSP on a Modeler than dual Amps. Thanks

[@davidjoel111]

I remember in the early 2000s the 5150 and rectifier combination was really popular on recordings and live bands.

[@davidjoel111]

Sounds amazing but there’s something strange in the low end when you play both amps at the same time, are they in phase?

[@nathanshobe]

I always tend to love blending with orange amps. They just have such a definitive clean low end that barks with authority and that mid range almost fizz (in a good way) that they're known for. I'd love to see you pair an Orange (ideally the OR120 but will settle for a rockerverb) with something with a European high gain tone.

[@av8tordonny398]

[@pjuels]

Due to personal interest/wishlist: Engl E530 (or similar tight-sounding Engl amp, which has a power amp) paired with the Orange Super Crush 100. The nice, sharp Engl being complimented by a loud, obnoxious and wide Orange sound seems like a good idea

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

I love this series. I've been obsessed with blending ever since I got a pod x3 that let you do dual tone... Interesting what you said about blending similar amp, when it comes to food pairing we look at foods wih similar aromatic chemicals and these give us the best results. Maybe audibly its the same with things being similar with slight differences giving us pleasure. Could you get a Dual Rec and blend with the 5150? 16 year old me was convinced this was the key to crushing metal tone.

[@hoboroadie4623]

I blend a plethora of amplifiers, some pretty closely matched, and I like to match amps through PN-2 Panning Tremolos into different speakers; e.g. a 12" and a 15" EVM. Or an open-backed and a closed-backed cabs. I like the motion, I think.

After doing a lot of the amps It would be fun to find out how the blends differ between real amps and modellers. A good many of us will not be able to use the real amps, sad too is the fact that only the higher priced modellers allow for dual amp and cabs. Still, it would be a fun comparison. Beat me with a Strat neck if I'm wrong !!

[@ilovegreenock]

[@JSA501stNormandy]

I would still love to hear the soldano and the mezzabarba, also the tone is so good, you could jam for days with this setup and never lose interest.

[@SuffyANX]

The trick with the overdrive is to lower the gain on the amp, scoop the mids slightly, and then crank the volume and increase the tone til you have the right amount of bite. On a 5150 I run lead channel gain at 3.5/10, bass at 4/10, mids at around 3.5/10, and treble/pres at 5/10. That's a good starting point for me for a typical tight metal tone through a normal Mesa Rectifier cab with V30s, pretty much regardless of pickups. I've run similar sounds on strat single coils, tele single coils, passive humbuckers, active humbuckers, etc. all going from a similar starting point And IMO most overdrives sound at their tightest/most aggressive with the tone at about 80% to 100% turned up, since the tone knob is essentially a sweep control for a mid boost (and bass/treble rolloff). The further you turn it up, the higher the frequency you're boosting, which means that when it's all the way up you can get disgusting amounts of chunky upper midrange attack and saturation without too much harsh treble or fast palm mutes blending together from low frequencies

[@andrelacourse]

I think Eddie would have shook your hand after that performance 👏👏👏
