Very well-made... no loose components, scratches, dents, no electrical problems... speaker required minimal break-in time.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
So far, so good. Peavey is GREAT at customer service... I've spoken to them before concerning a different amp that I bought and sold (will be keeping this 6505), and they're always fast, helpful, and reliable.

Your general opinion of this product.
Perfect metal tones with way more than enough gain. Quality on mine was top notch, great build. Controls all work great together. Tone to die for...
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?

First one received got burned after a week, I guess a defective one, but thanks to AMS service i have another one coming in no time,,, I choose to exchange it and not refunded because I really liked this combo and no worries because AMS return warranty .
The amp looks very well constructed and solid,, its weight its an issue for me but its punchy and dinamic sound worth it.

Your general opinion of this product.
Before I bought this amp from AMS i was a little worried about 6505+ clean channel,,,It looks that nobody likes it and I gig 40% on clean channel, but well i have been enjoying it a lot, some how I like it better than my previous combos clean channel ( JVM, Blackstar ht40 & fender hotrod deluxe)it is very punchy and dinamic...works very good with guitar volume. Iam using it with Charvel Wildcard 6 (seymour duncan stk1 single & JB bridge)

I would like to have a more responsive eq specially bass response, but it sounds good as it is.

this thing is made very well, it's built like a tank, I'd have to say that it is pretty dependable but it weighs near 50-60 pounds.

it is pretty reliable I've only had it for a few weeks but i know that they last a long time, that is if you know how to keep up on your tube amps.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
this is a great Tube amp and it's nice and loud, just know tube amps are louder than solid state. the tubes warm up pretty quickly and the standby channel is perfect for when you're taking a break or setting up your pedals and wires and stuff

The tone is amazing, other than the cleans like I said before. the gain goes really high and the tone is pretty easy to dial in if you know what you're looking for

It's a Peavey, so it comes with peace-of-mind!

Anything from Peavey comes with a history of offering great products! This amp is no different. If you buy this, its cause you want the tube (valve) sound at an affordable price. And you won't be disappointed!
Playability and Feel

The low end on the distorted channels is amazing. I love it.
If you like American metal bands of the past 10 years, then you know this sound and want it for yourself. This amp delivers.
And its loud as heck! For 60 watts, this thing can crank!!!
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Again, heavy, dark, low-end punchy tone!
I play a 7-string and this amp makes the low B string just hit you in the chest!
Finish

Black! Just how amps SHOULD BE!

Um, it's an amp. Plug in, let the tubes warm up and play!

I havent had it very long and I dont gig or travel with my gear so, its hard to say but, it seems built very well. Heavy
General
Your general opinion of this product.
It's got a pretty good distortion. The clean isnt anything special. If you are looking at this amp I assume you really arent interested in clean sound. If you want tube amp distortion and dont use a distortion pedal this is one of the better amps out there I have tried for the price. Only being a 112 it sounds a little thin. GETS PLENTY LOUD THOUGH. Sounds best CRANKED.
