Good deal findin'! The 5150 definitely has a sound of its own.

What is the difference between the block letter and signature heads again? Just power or?

The story is, that while the 5150 Signature has a few more knobs and a very clean, clean channel, it LACKS the Gain, Thump and Crunch that the BLOCK Letter Model has. For me, Its not versatile, but it sure has a heck of a nice Crunch!

I just got mine last month. Its the signature not the block letter but I still love it. The distortion is awesome and the clean channel is clean enough for me.

Hey K, Good Catch.... You are right, on that. I just didnt type out what my mind is speakin. I just ordered some knobs and a vent plate that has some cracked corners. I'm using it with my BOGNER cab, but I am looking for a 5150 Cab.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey 1979charvel are you sure your not confusing the signature with the 5150II. My signature has the same knob configuration as a block letter. The 5150II does have extra knobs because they have separate eqs.

Also I heard that one of the big changes between the block letter and the signature were that the signature has a set bias. In other words it can't be rebaised without modification.
