6505®+ 112 Combo

Guitar Amplifier

After forging the sound of aggression for more than 15 years, Peavey is making its highly respected, high-gain 6505® Series amplifier available for the first time in a 1x12 combo-amp configuration. The new 6505 Plus 112 combo harnesses the full gain and legendary tone of the Peavey 6505 Series, which since 1991 has defined the sounds of extreme rock guitar, into a format that is equally suited to clubs, rehearsal rooms and studios. Five select 12AX7 preamp tubes and a pair of 6L6GC power-amp tubes provide the tonal foundation for the 6505 Plus 112 combo, while patented circuitry such as Peavey's Resonance control tweak its legendary tone. Both the Lead and Rhythm channels feature independent three-band EQ, pre/post gain controls and Presence and Resonance adjustment. The Rhythm channel also includes a footswitchable Crunch boost. The 6505 Plus

112 combo also features the Peavey MSDI™ microphone-simulated direct interface, which eliminates the need for miking by allowing users to route the amp's signal directly to a recording device or mixing console. Additional features include three- spring reverb, effects loop and external speaker outputs, plus a 12" Sheffield® loudspeaker in a sealed-back cabinet that offers maximum resonance and sound projection.

6505 specifications

The Peavey 6505 amp head has emerged as an iconic staple in the world of high-gain guitar amplification, cherished by rock and metal musicians alike. Known for its aggressive sound and robust build quality, this amp addresses the needs of players desiring powerful tone and versatility.

One of the main features of the Peavey 6505 is its dual-channel design. The two channels, labeled as Lead and Clean, allow musicians to seamlessly switch between a pristine clean tone and a searing, high-gain drive. The Lead channel is renowned for its rich, saturated distortion, making it perfect for heavy riffs and solos. It offers a three-band EQ, allowing users to sculpt their tone with precision.

The Peavey 6505 is powered by four EL34 tubes in the power section, coupled with a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes. This tube configuration plays a crucial role in delivering the signature Peavey tone, characterized by massive low-end response and sharp highs. The amp's power output, with 120 watts of tube-driven power, ensures that it can fill even the largest venues with rich harmonics and clear articulation.

Another key technological advancement in the 6505 is its resonance control knob. This feature enhances the amp’s responsiveness by adjusting the low-end frequencies, allowing players to achieve a tighter or looser sound based on their preferences. Additionally, the Presence control adds more bite to the high frequencies, enabling players to tailor their tone for different playing styles.

The Peavey 6505 also includes an effects loop, which is an essential feature for integrating pedals and other effects into one’s setup. This allows musicians to maintain the integrity of their sound while utilizing various effects without compromising the amp's tonal character.

Durability and reliability are hallmarks of the Peavey brand, and the 6505 follows suit with a rugged construction designed for the rigors of live performance. The sturdy chassis and high-quality components ensure that this amp can withstand the demands of extensive touring.

In summary, the Peavey 6505 is more than just a high-gain amplifier; it is a versatile tool that allows musicians to explore a wide range of tones while delivering exceptional sound quality. Its powerful features, robust construction, and signature tone continue to make it a favorite among guitarists looking to push the boundaries of their sound.
