SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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!

Back to Product Information
Sound: The gain is the best imo. Cleans are decent. Picking dynamics are second to none where a high gain amp is concerned and this amps gain is much more useable than about any other i have used. For the price it can't be touched and even for a grand more it would still be untouched. The only issue i have is the amp cannot be switched to half power but, not a big deal at all for the tone. Feature: I wish it had a half power switch and lazer beams to shoot out at the crowd when a pinch harmonic is hit.... Ease of Use: EFFORTLESS..... Quality: Tank,Tank,TANK! This amp is the only other i have used that may as well be bulletproof... Value: For the price it can't be beat. For twice the price it is still untouched. Manufacturer Support: The customer service is great, i own one of their no longer manufatured guitars and asked them for the specs and i got them within minutes with a polite message. The Wow Factor: I reocrded in a pro studio and used the originaly titled version of this amp and have lusted after it ever since,now i have one and i own the combo, sonicaly other amps can eat Peavey's dust as far as this amps concerned. Overall: i love other amps by different manufacturers but, this is,was and always will be my main/go to amp for all but, the jangliest of cleans, when it comes to anything where gain with clarity and articulation is concerned this amp destroys ALL others.

Sound: This amp is awesome. If you play metal or rock you should definately check out this amp. It has way more gain and volume than anyone should ever need. You CAN get clean sounds out of this amp. Very versatile amp. Feature: This thing is packed with feature to sculpt the sound you want. It also has a ground lift, which is a big plus when gigging. The only thing missing is a headphone jack. Ease of Use: Very easy to use and dial in the sound your looking for. Quality: This thing is built like a tank. I would trust it without a backup any day. Value: Definately worth the price compared to other high gain tube amps.

Sound: This thing is a monster. It has the best distortion I've ever played in my life. The only thing I don't like is that you can't get it to be completely clean. Feature: Comes with cab cables, and a footswitch. Awesome. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that the clean and crunch are on the same channel. It would have been better if they had two separate set of knobs for that. Ease of Use: Extremely easy. Quality: Its beautiful, the most beautiful I've ever seen. Value: You've got Marshall's that have worse sound than this and that are like 2000 dollars. Best value ever for this amp right here. Manufacturer Support: Never used it. The Wow Factor: It look great. Overall: I don't think I'm ever gonna get sick of this amp. Maybe I would get a Marshall JVM or some other head, just for diversity in my heads. But seriously, I think I've found my tone.

Sound: This head Rocks!! The tone is extremely versatile and plenty loud. I currently use it for an Iron Maiden tribute band, but can also get a 70's thru 90's rock tone. Feature: Came with a pedal to switch from clean to crunch to sreaming lead tone. Also has an effects on/off. I like the that this head has seperate EQ for the two channels. I do wish the resonance and reverb were a little better, but they still sound sweet. Ease of Use: Totally basic to use. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to contact support.

Sound: HEAVY AS F***!! Cleans could be better, but lets face it, if you are looking at this amp, cleans are the last thing on your mind. The gain on this is incredible. Tone is amazing. Quality: Peavey has always made quality products. Why do you think so many artists use their product? Value: Try to find this kind of tone for under 1000 dollars... Peavey is the only one. Manufacturer Support: havent dealt with them, but im sure they are great. The Wow Factor: Looks and sounds like money Overall: get yours today!
