A Classic Brute Head from Peavey

The Peavey 6505+ is a brute. With six 12AX7s in its wheelhouse and four 6L6s in the engine room, the 6505+ Head delivers 120 watts into 16, 8, or 4 ohms. You get two channels, along with comprehensive tone-sculpting control. "Rhythm" gives you spanking cleans, but kick the included footswitch to engage Crunch Boost and you enter a world of near-infinite gainstaging. The Lead channel barks with the big dogs, taking you from throaty grind to liquid inferno. For raw tone and sheer devastating power, you'll not find a more suitable weapon than the Peavey 6505+ Head.

Massive power
The Peavey 6505+ Head gives you bone-crunching, stadium-filling power. If LOUD's your band's thing, the 6505's four 6L6s are only too happy to oblige - putting out 120 watts RMS into 16, 8, or 4 ohm loads. This gives you amazing freedom when shopping for cabs to build your killer arena stack.

A classic American amp
The Peavey 6505+ Head is a classic American amp - and it may do your heart good to know that Peavey designs and builds the 6505+ Head right here in the United States (sadly, a unique feature these days). The 6505 series is a prime example of American engineering know-how. The basic design has has been rocking stages around the globe since the early '90s, when Eddie Van Halen and Peavey collaborated on the 5150. When the two parted ways, the amp was re-christened as the 6505. The Plus puts a new spin on the beloved design, with an additional 12AX7 and dramatically increased tone-shaping control.

Great Amp for Rock & Metal

by UberschallEL34 from Texas

Music Background: Hobbyist, Gear Fanatic
Dollar for Dollar, this is one of the best deals going for a road ready rock/metal amp. Cleans are good (depending on your guitar) and easy to dial up. Crunch setting is very usable - can get a nice 8... read more [+]0's rock tone. Gain channel is so brutal and articulate. Tough to beat for the $$ close [-]

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
