Nope.. 6550. Not 6L6s or EL34s..... 6550. That's the model name....

Ah... originally based on the 6L6 right? (Fuh, the wonders of wikipedia! )

Why lah? Why not a 6L6?

EDIT:

Oooh, wanted to ask you. Yours is 60W right? Is it friggin' loud? I'm kinda looking at a DSL401 (40W) and I'm kinda scared I gotta blast before it sounds alright....

Yes. I need to crank it up to healthy (ie: Ear bleeding, nausea, headaches and rectal trauma) levels to get that wonderful Marshall tone. Thank god I have a semi-isolated music room

So the 40w would be a pretty decent amp to crank.

And 6550 Tubes are known for a fatter sound with more headroom...... which is exactly what I need.

sorry for the bad example
but can some1 tell me how to play this?
how do i stum fret 10 on the 5th string and fret 12 on the 3rd string?

Oh... amp I'm about to test comes with Groove Tube Gold series... Slovakian 6L6 if I'm not mistaken... sh!t. I'm damn n00b with all this tube crap.

...more like just damn n00b when it comes to amps. and guitars. gargh!


Oh yeah, here's something for Valkyrie:





If you're using a pick, pick the notes on the 5th string and use your other right hand finger (middle, ring or pinky) to pluck the 3rd string.

Or mute the 4th string with your free finger.

ok i try again...i did the muting but it doesnt sound that nice..
i will try rustreaver's idea hmmm

the easier and more common way to play that is like a normal power chord using 1st and ring finger...
then drop ur 1st finger down so it rests on the 4th string thereby muting it.
basically ur 1st finger will be doing all the work...if really want to u can push ur 1st finger slightly higher also so it rests on the side of the 6th string...
so u can really strum it from top.

Holy crap. I definitely DID enjoy That!!!!

Actually it depends on how what kind of effect you're trying to achieve. If you want the notes on both strings to articulate clearly, then pick the lower string and pluck the higher string.

If you want more of a "chord" sound, then mute the 4th string and strum it like Blacktrix suggested.

It's amazing! Bikers rock!

just play the octaves with your first finger on the root note and pinky on the octave, using your first finger to mute the 4th string... for the notes being on the same fret you can either barre it if you're plucking the notes or change your finger positioning if you're using a pick

actually i found something like this when i was trying
paramore's - thats what you get
i looked at the tabs
and the 2nd guitar was something like that
u know when hear the song to get the sliding sound

davis is selling for 3k iirc. last time i was gassing for one, but then after consideration, i'd rather take a 18w ceriatone than that if i hav 3k
