Peavey 6505 1992 Original Guitar Amplifier Head 120 Watts
For three decades, the Peavey 6505 has been the undisputed heavyweight champion of high-gain tone, carving out a legacy in rock, hardcore, and metal. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Peavey is reissuing the legendary amp that started it all.
The 6505 1992 Original is a meticulous, spot-on recreation of the early-'90s classic, packing all the fire-breathing power and searing overdrive that defined a generation. From its 120-watt, 6L6GC-fueled power section to its custom-wound transformer, this amp delivers the same bone-crushing sound that powered countless platinum records.
With its notorious gain structure and arena-ready features, the 6505 1992 Original gives you the authentic, aggressive voice that countless guitarists have chased for years. If you've ever wanted to harness the sound that launched a thousand mosh pits, your amp has arrived.
Command the Raging Beast
The 6505 1992 Original may be famous for its brutal gain, but its tonal palette is surprisingly versatile, giving you complete control over its massive power.
Dual Footswitchable Channels: The Lead channel delivers the iconic, saturated high-gain tone that made the 6505 a legend, while the Rhythm channel is a secret weapon for dynamic sounds.
Versatile Rhythm Channel: Don’t let the name fool you. The Rhythm channel’s Bright switch adds a glassy, brilliant top end perfect for spanking cleans, while the Crunch switch summons a throaty, aggressive grind reminiscent of '90s hardcore.
Infinite Gain Staging: With separate Pre-Gain and Post-Gain controls for each channel, you can dial in everything from a subtle bluesy breakup to a full-on, face-melting assault.
Fine-Tune Your Sonic Assault
This amp is loaded with powerful tone-shaping tools that let you sculpt your sound with precision, ensuring your tone cuts through any mix.
Shared 3-Band EQ: The straightforward Bass, Middle, and Treble controls offer a familiar and effective way to shape your core sound across both channels.
Resonance & Presence Controls: These power amp controls are your secret to adding massive low-end punch and high-end sizzle. The Resonance knob tightens up your bass for a percussive chug, while the Presence control adds the bite and clarity needed to slice through a dense band mix.
Custom-Designed Output Transformer: The heart of the 6505’s legendary tone is its unique output transformer. After countless hours of deep-dive analysis, Peavey engineers perfectly recreated the component that gives this amp its magical, crushing, and instantly recognizable character.
Arena-Ready Connectivity
The 6505 1992 Original is built for the modern stage and studio, offering the pro-level I/O you need to integrate it seamlessly into any rig.
Preamp Out Jack: This feature makes running complex rigs a breeze. Use it to slave to a second power amp for a massive wet/dry setup or send your preamp tone directly to a cabinet simulator for mic-free recording and silent practice.
Effects Loop: The high-quality buffered effects loop is perfect for integrating your favorite time-based effects like delay and reverb or connecting external processors without coloring your core tone.
Variable Speaker Impedance: With outputs for 16-, 8-, and 4-ohm speaker cabinets, you can confidently connect the 6505 head to virtually any cab you can find.
The Legend Returns
The Peavey 6505 1992 Original is the return of an icon. It offers the same uncompromising tone and raw power that made its predecessor a staple for hard rock and metal guitarists worldwide. If you're ready to wield the amp that defined a genre, your search is over.
