The Peavey 6505 Plus Guitar Amp Head features six 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6GC power amp tubes, with presence and resonance controls and three-band EQ for taming their notorious tone.
Peavey proudly introduces its 6505 Series guitar amplifiers, named in celebration of Peavey's first 40 years, 1965 to 2005. The 6505 is also the relaunch of the 5150 Series, the immensely popular amplifiers Peavey designed with Edward Van Halen.
While known as the 5150, these amps became the undisputed go-to guitar amps for scores of rock, hardcore and metal bands due to their raw tone, relentless power and road-proven reliability. The 6505 is still the unquestionable choice for an ever-expanding list of endorsers, including 3 Doors Down, Ted Nugent, Atreyu, Steve Morse, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Visqueen, God Forbid, HIMSA, Darkest Hour, Sworn Enemy, Unearth and many more.

| A meat and potato amp for a meat and potato guy!! |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| This amp is super tough, I've dropped it, kicked it, had a n00b "roady" hook it up wrong, everything...still sounds new! |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Its a goin strong and meaty! |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| The clean leaves a little to be desired but I make it work. I was suprised when I got it, I thought it would be noisy, for my distortion taste it actually is very quiet. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| The controls do what they say, and are super easy to fine tune. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Everything I can get from this amp except for super super warm clean with no saturtion... but if you use your dynamics and pick lightly, you can get this amp to chime like a bell or release the beasts of h*ll.
DEFINITELY GET AN ORANGE CAB IF YOU CAN....AMAZING!!! |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| It stays in a rack...don't care what it looks like...but it is sexy |
