Product Description

Peavey proudly offers the 6505 Plus amp head, so named in commemoration of Peavey's first 40 years, 1965 to 2005. The 6505 Plus is the upgraded version of the relaunched 5150 head, the highly renowned amplifiers Peavey designed in conjunction with Edward Van Halen.

The Peavey 6505 Plus 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. With its extra preamp tube, the 6505 Plus offers more flexibility in your tone.

While known as the 5150 series, this line of amps became the undisputed go-to amps for scores of rock, hardcore and metal guitarists owing to their raw tone, relentless power and rugged reliability. The 6505 Plus is still the no-brainer choice for an expanding list of endorsers, and its classic tone will ensure it remains a favorite of rockers the world over.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Assimilate or Die, This AMP is FOR METAL!!!!"
Sound: The is the king of Metal Amps. The sound is phenomenal. The cleans channels are really good and it has a crunch channel that you can click on the footswitch. I really enjoy using this thing, especially the lead channel. If you want a real metal amp with soaring leads, get this! Feature: The amp comes with a good footswitch unlike the regular 6505. Its actually durable and has 3 buttons, 1 for clean and lead, 1 for crunch, 1 for effects. The tubes in it are great, I believe there 6L6's. The amp is all round awesome. Ease of Use: Piece of cake getting any tone from this. I can adjust my settings to get a ZZ top sound all the way down to an As I lay Dying tone. The amp is very adjustable and has no horizons and limits. Quality: This thing is built like a frickin tank. I purchased this one Blemished and there wasnt any scratches, or dings, or anything wrong with it. I was beyond impressed with how built this thing was.I think ill have it till I die. Value: This amp is pricey but worth it. You get what you pay for, if you buy a 400 Bugera head, Its gonna break, if you buy a Peavey that been around forever, its going to last and give you some signature tones. Manufacturer Support: Havent talked to peavey but I give them a 10 for building an awesome amp that it wont break so I dont need to call the. The Wow Factor: Its one sexy amp. It screams "SHRED ME" Overall: I will have this till the world ends. If someone were to steal this thing, Id probably murder them, actually I would tie them to the amp and put it on 10 and blow there ear drums out, then drop it on them because its a tank. Plus I can test out the durability at the same time. AWESOME AMP!

"Peavey 6505 Plus"
Overall: I had my heart set on a mesa triple head because I am in a pop punk band Called "Mouth Full" out of Rochester New York and when you hear pop punk a mesa triple rec is usally the go to amp. My friend sold this amp to me for 600 bucks. I played all my bands stuff on the lead channel on my marshal so I figured I would test out the lead channel on the 6505+. It was way to heavy and I thought I made a mistake buying this amp every one said dont buy it if your not a full out metal band.I played around with it a bit and found out the crunch channel was what im looking for.The crunch channel sounds just about as heavy as my marshals lead channel haha. Usually when you think crunch channel you don't think it would sound like this peavey does.It has alot of gain but its brite and crip distortion which is what I was looking for and more it has an amazing tone and the tubes are old so it should be even better when I re tube it.I was really upset that I bought it for a few days until I used the crunch channel.The lead channel is awesome don't get me wrong but its to heavy for my sound that I want.But like I said the crunch channel will make any pop punk guy think twice about buying a mesa triple.The best part I would say is if you need a ton of gain you have it,theirs a song or 2 that we play that will totally benefit for the lead channel. I mean you can be playing blink 182 in the crunch channel and kick on the lead channel and play the heaviest of the heavy.I have never liked the idea of needing a $50 distortion pedal for an amp that you pay alot of money for and this is an amp you really don't need one.I really like the cleans on this amp some people dont but for my style is awesome.I dont think Im going to get another amp for a long time.
