well a windsor isn't their flag ship model, matter of fact it has been discontinued heh, they are "hard" to get a good sound from, but if you have used a pre-millenium marshall it should be straight forward, just be prepared for the gain...... there is little to no head room on them it goes from off to overdrive to insane distortion, no cleans stock, but if ya swap some 12AT7s in them for the pre-amp tubes, the 12AX7 seems ok for the P.I. it tames it back down to marshall area....... no clue why peavey thought a single channel tube head needed that much gain :-\


stuff it....... then bake it.......

I own the 5150, and I absolutely love it. Paired with my MXR noise gate, it's absolutely beautiful. The cleans are actually pretty decent. I can get a pretty good clean tone just by rolling down my volume knob.


Gear: 5150, RG2EX2, a FrankenSquire, and a MG10 (Underrated)

5150 is alright i suppose as far as a 2 channel amp goes, i'm not a big fan of 6L6 amps, the infamous fender clean tones are nice and clean ok, but 6L6 amps i personally find a lil bit too bright

Who in the f buys a 5150 and then plays clean? That's like buying a Porsche and driving 10 mph.
