RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens 7-string low-end response
The Peavey 5150 Lead channel naturally delivers brutal high gain, so keep the Pre-Gain dial at 6 to prevent low-end flub on the low strings. Setting Resonance to 6 provides deep punch while Treble and Presence at 6 keep active multi-scale pickups cutting without excessive harshness. When you add a dedicated TS-style overdrive pedal, set its drive to 0 and level high to tighten the attack even further.
