*There seems to be a general consensous that:

1. The 5150 has GOBS of gain
2. Has a cheesey clean channel
3. Benefits GREATLY from a set of decent tubes (Especially on the low end)
4. Is noisey in the studio

*All that being said, on a personal note, I LOVE THE GAIN, can deal with the re-tube and screw the clean channel, BUT I HATE NOISE !! (Your mileage may vary :D )

*When I factored all these things in (INCLUDING RE-SALE VALUE), I wasn't that far away from a Marshall unit, price wise......
