Hey man I just discovered your channel. Man I have to say what killer content. For Metal guys you hit the topics we love to hear. Great work my friend. Take care

[@RobArnoldWorld]

@@joemartinez6025 I appreciate that big time bro! And welcome aboard!🎸

[@thehaunted1]

Chimaira was definitely a huge influence on why I chose 5150s as my go to tone. I still exclusively only use 5150. Ive had an OG block, a 5150 II and now I have a 3 Stealth. Best metal amp ever.

[@EclipseAtDusk]

The self-titled album was one of my most spun records as a teenager, and lead to me picking up the 5150 as my main amp ever since - hell, my first tube amp was a 6505+ 1x12 combo They Just Fuckin Work

[@SM_8506]

Took it all the back to the Peavey Rage!!!! Everyone who started playing in the 90’s can relate!!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Haha awesome!

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

I think many years ago you posted on myspace a picture of your 5150's control panel saying 'this is my sound'. You guys and Machine Head made me want a 5150 so bad back then. The guitars on impossibility were so crushing.

The 6505+ is a beast! It’s so damn loud and the louder it gets, the better it sounds. My 81/85 setup loved that amp.

[@MadDjentah]

Past Out Of Existence- favorite Chimaira sound.

[@michaelhall6696]

Loved the tone of ‘impossibility’ so much so that when I played in a local band I ran a second hand 5150 with an EMG 81 equipped Jackson boosted with an overdrive pedal. I used to get metal heads coming up to me all the time after gigs complementing my tone. Still a huge fan of peavey amps thanks to you guys and machine head!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice!

[@B---------------------------D]

I recorded with Schigel back in 2010 and we used my JSX paired with his Uberschall and it sounded monsterous. I wound up going to the Guitar Center there in olmsted falls? on the way OUT of town and found the matching 4x12 for my JSX for like $300 (normally $700). Needless to say I had to make room for another 4x12 on the trip home. Still have the rig today, but I switched to using a kemper in 2012.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Awesome man! I hope you enjoyed that experience at Spider! Ben is the man!

When I met you guys at the crowbar in State College Pa ,I had just got a yamaha DG1000, so stoked about the amps. I was talking about them to my friend telling them how stoked I was to see my amp on stage. I currently play a 6505+ so ive been along that tone journey with you guys being my biggest inspiration since day 1

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice!🤘

[@deceased66]

I’m stoked someone is enjoying it chris!!

[@bbdill]

I started with a cheap harmony amp that my parents got me, but a buddy loaned me that same Peavey Rage 108. It sounded really good for the time to play some Master of Puppets tunes. Unfortunately, someone stole it while it was in my possession. Luckily, my buddy didn't really care because he had stopped playing. My first gig worthy amp was an Ibanez 100 watt combo with an aftermarket EV 12 loaded plugged into a Crate Blue Voodoo 4x12 cab with V30s.

[@suffersystemstudios]

My first was a zoom 505 played through a karoake machine. Good times

[@robcny74]

I've used a crate stealth . Which is very marshally , then went to the peavey ultra ( youve gotta try that one man ) , then went to the 6505+ .. but now I'm a 5150iii guy . The cleans just ring so nice on them . Thanks for the trip down memory lane brother

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Word! I used a 5150 III on the SFU tour in 2011 and I LOVED it!🤘

[@BearAmps]

Those SLM era Crate and Ampeg all have dirty loop jack issues. Usually you can put a jumper in the fx loop and they will pass signal again. If yours works again after trying that then its an easy fix with some Deoxit and working a plug in and out a few times

[@RobArnoldWorld]

[@jamesesuit]

Now that you've talked about the history of your amps, what about the future? Are there any new cool amps that you want to try or something you already like that you may buy one day? I bought myself an SLO-100 FS for my 40th birthday earlier this year and haven't plugged my 6505+ in since. Long time Chimaira fan here and love watching your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice! Not familiar with that amp, but it looks rad! So you're saying it out does the 6505 for ya? My amplifier future? Currently I'm interested in checking out the Friedman stuff, but probably won't unless I happen upon one. And I've always been interested in the Helix stuff. Haven't tried any of it though yet. It just looks cool and I've heard good things. The Peavey Invective also looks rad. Right now though, I'm just digging the plugin world. If and when I start playing live again, is when I'll nerd out on some new stuff and check out some new amps. Hope that happens sooner than later!🤘

[@jamesesuit]

@@RobArnoldWorld the 5150 and the Rectifier preamp are both clones or copies of the original Soldano SLO-100 which is what drew me to it. There's an awesome Neural DSP SLO-100 plugin that's a pretty accurate representation of the real thing since you're into plugins. The invective is essentially a modern 6505+ with a built in gate, modern features like DI out for cab sims, and midi I believe. The Freidman stuff is awesome and they're made by B.A.D. which also makes the Soldanos. I've not really gotten into the modelers yet but the Quad Cortex has me intrigued, I'm just waiting on Neural DSP to work out a few more firmware features like the plugin integration before I pull the trigger.

[@Daneidorff]

Cool - i used a Powerball for 15 years in my old band. Ended up selling it when i got a Mesa Mark IV a few years back. I think it beats the 6505 in cleans though. The gain channel is up to personal taste.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Agreed on the cleans! 🎸

Rob this is awesome, thanks bro 👊👍🤟

[@RobArnoldWorld]

[@deafworldstudios8644]

Hey Rob! Me again. Amazing man! I love the first 3 records a lot by y'all. So you basically had a lot of Trial and Error in terms of amps. You went from the Yamaha on POOE, The Peavy 5150 on IOR, and the 6505 on the self titled. Did you use the Marshall VS100 on "This Present Darkness''? if so, that's amazing man! (haha I said that twice!) Not gonna lie, I thought you guys used Hughes and Kettner on Pass Out Of Existence, there's something about that Murky tone you guys had on that record that I love. This is how I can best sum up in my ears as a metal guitarist. Pass Out Of Existence - Tone: Dark and Murky impossibility Of Reason - Tone: Rough and Rugged like Overkill (Best Thrash Band IMHO) Chimaira (Self Titled) - Tone: Perfected and Sharpened

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I like that analysis! I think we may have used the VS100 on TPD, but I honestly don't remember!

[@The_JustJoshing]

Really cool video man!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Thanks brother!🤘

Cool vid. Interesting to see your amps. I started on crate went to that exact marshall then started using jcm 2000 DSL marshall for a lot of years.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Cool!

[@619dar]

I almost got a Peavey Combo amp, but instead I got a Marshall Combo. My reason for that was the Marshall had a split channel and it just sounded better. Plus it was a lot cheaper. Great video Rob. Will you be do doing another video over the weekend ?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nice- nothing wrong with a good Marshall combo! I'll definitely be working on the next video over the weekend, but it probably won't arrive until early next week. I'm now trying to average two videos a week, with no real set schedule in terms of specific days they'll be released.

I use a boss fs6 switcher pedal to switch between 4 presets saved in the boss studio program, which is another cool thing. You can store up to 50 effects into the amp and use them at any time!

Remember that story I was telling about buying gear at Guitar Center? Well while we were there, we tried out some triple rec's, and we thought they sounded great for open chord type stuff, but didn't have the bite we were looking for when it came to chugging and syncopation type riffs. Would I rock one today? Sure! But that's the reason we never got into the mesa heads. Never tried the Invective, but it looks awesome! Never tried the Satan either... I'm hoping to end up in heaven one day! haha cheers bro!

[@8Junio76]

You should try the EVH amp

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I played one every night on the Summer Slaughter tour back 2011 with Six Feet Under, and I loved it!

[@nizzamp]

Good stuff here. Thank you. Question - Other than your Boss tuner and the ISP noise reduction, it does not appear that you ever used any sort of OD or boost pedal to hit the amp harder? So many guys (especially Mesa recto players because the low end is so flubby on those) hit the front with an 808 or TS-9 or an SD-1, etc. You always used the pure 6505+ preamp sound and never goosed it with an extra pedals as far as I can see? I guess the EMG 81 was enough of a push - you cannot question the end result!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Yessir! I've never used boosts or overdrives. Never found them necessary, and the couple of times I tried one out, I just didn't find any benefits. If you want to hear more, check out this video for the whole story! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3ezXoGun86lipI

Ya i have a 6505+ and a mini 5150 stealth. Its a little different than the 6505, and I love both. I use an mxr 6 band in the loop which is kind of like a cheat code. U can achieve any metal tone with eq, as u know

[@stunbot0]

What are your thoughts on pedal boosting 6505+? As I know you've mostly used that for the chimaira albums. Is there a reason you would or wouldn't boost an amp for song writing?

​@@RobArnoldWorld Interesting, thanks!

Do you think the 6505+ sounds different from the older 5150? I always felt my 5150 didn’t sound as badass ass your sound and that’s the tone I always wanted. Even tho I’m using a similar cab with v30s.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Honestly even though I believe they're supposed to sound the same, I'd take my 6505 over the 5150. I prefer the sound of it although I can't say exactly why. I also like the additional channel on the 6505 for more flexibility.

[@whatsupbra43]

@@RobArnoldWorld do you hear that the 6505+ low end is still ballsy but a little tighter and it’s gain little more aggressive sounding? I’m just wondering if your hearing kinda the same. Since I don’t own a 6505+ you would have more experience hearing it. Plus your one of my guitar heroes that I grew up loving and idolize. Six is one of my favorite songs ever. So just trying to pick your brain a little. Also do you remember playing in Lafayette Louisiana? I was there and I wish I knew how much of an impact y’all would have on me because I was knew to y’all and that night set y’all as my all time favorite band hands down.

@@whatsupbra43 Hey awesome man! Proud to hear that!👊 As far as the 6505, I haven't really tuned into those specifics you mentioned. I think there are too many factors when trying to describe it so specifically. Guitar, cabinet, pickups, etc... all of those things obviously have an effect on the over all tone. At the end of the day, the 6505 just rocks, and sounds great no matter what you send through it!
