Great amps, I have both the 5150 II w/ 4 spkr slanted cab. And the 5150 212 combo. I like the 5150 combo better, being a 60w amp I can turn it up and get the tubes really hot. But the 5150 II has crazy distortion, and a really good tone.

A word of advice if you are going to buy the 5150 head, make sure you buy the 5150 speaker cab too!! The 5150 uses Sheffield speakers that were designed by Eddie. It really does make a difference. My 5150 head plugged into my Marshall 4 cab, doesn't even sound like the same amp head.

Another thing, on the 5150 212 combo, the clean channell sucks. So if you want a really nice clean you need to use another amp and a a/b switch. But I still prefer the combo.
