Does anybody know what the difference is between
the Peavy 5150 and 5150 II?
Can someone tell me what the difference is?

tada... most important is the extra tube in the 5150II's preamp, IMO it has better cleans as the 5150, still nothing to write home about but at least it improved.
the distortion is not so good on both amps, but whatever turns your clock, I'm not a big fan of their tone.

One of them is I and the other is II, other than that i have no idea.

Thanks guys. I think I'll get the 5150 since I need a lot of gain (I play Goregrind).
