The Peavey 6505 HEAD Guitar All Tube Amplifier Head, 120 Watts, five 12AX7 tubes, 2 channels. Raw tone, relentless power and road-proven reliability.
The Peavey 6505 HEAD is part of the 6505 Series of 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. 6505 Series amps feature five 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6GC power amp tubes, with presence and resonance controls and three-band EQ for taming their notorious tone. 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 Ted Nugent, In Flames, Visqueen, HIMSA, Darkest Hour, Sworn Enemy, Unearth, Bleeding Through, Story of the Year, P.O.D., Bullet For My Valentine, Chimaira, Evergreen Terrace and many more.
The main features of the Peavey 6505 HEAD include:
THE metal amp used by many famous bands.
So this is a beast. Robust, loud, massive and sounds fckin brutal.
When I say loud i mean really-really loud. Usually i never go above 3, but if you want to use it at home you will probably never go beyond 0.5.
The amount of gain is incredible.. I mostly play deathcore, brutal death, melodic death and other "gain intensive" genres, but 5 out of 10 gain is perfect. I cant imagine who needs 9-10 gain. Probably some sick grindcore dude :)
If you need a brutal and loud amp, you found it.
