1 3 3 Congratulations! purchased a rock & roll monster. The Peavey 5150 is the result of an extensive research and development project with guitar legend Edward Van Ha/en to produce the ultimate rock & roll guitar amp. You’re ready to experience super rock crunch, harmonic-rich sustain, and screaming metal drive like you’ve never heard from another amp. Before you begin, please take the time to read this operating guide, familiarizing yourself with the 5750’s controls and functions.

In simple terms, the RESONANCE control works like a low EQ to offset Iowend frequency drop-out.

Features and specifications subject to change without notice. SPEAKER CONNECTION When connecting the amplifier to the speaker enclosure, make sure to set the impedance selector switch on the rear of the unit to the impedance that matches your enclosure. When two enclosures of equal impedance are used, set the switch to one half the impedance of one enclosure (e.g. two 16 ohm enclosures: set switch to 8 ohms; two 8 ohm enclosures: set switch to 4 ohms).
