8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus.

11.Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.

12.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a

cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.Never break off the ground pin. Write for our free booklet “Shock Hazard and Grounding.” Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

16.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

17.Note for UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows:

a)The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ colored green or colored green and yellow.

b)The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black.

c)The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red.

18.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in suscep- tibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

6505 212 Combo specifications

The Peavey 6505 212 Combo is a powerful and versatile amplifier that has gained a reputation among guitarists for its high gain and robust tonal qualities. Originally designed with heavy metal in mind, the 6505 series has also found favor across various genres, thanks to its dynamic sound capabilities and reliability.

One of the standout features of the 6505 212 Combo is its dual-channel design, which allows players to easily switch between clean and distorted sounds. Each channel has its own gain, bass, mid, treble, and reverb controls, providing extensive tonal shaping possibilities. The clean channel offers a warm, rich sound, while the lead channel delivers intense distortion and sustain, making it perfect for heavy riffs and solos.

At the heart of the Peavey 6505 212 Combo are its two 6L6 power tubes, which provide a full-bodied sound with excellent headroom. This complements the amp’s four 12AX7 preamp tubes, further enhancing its gain structure and tonal richness. This combination allows the amplifier to produce a broad range of sounds, from crystal-clear cleans to aggressive, saturated overdrive.

The cabinet houses two 12-inch speakers, which deliver a punchy, powerful output that can easily fill large venues. The speakers are designed to handle high volumes while maintaining clarity, ensuring that every note and nuance is heard, even in a full band setting. The combo design makes it convenient for transport while still delivering the full impedance performance expected from a standalone head and cabinet setup.

Another notable feature is the presence and resonance controls, enabling players to fine-tune their sound in the context of their band's mix. The built-in reverb adds an extra layer of depth and ambiance to the sound, making it suitable for various musical styles.

Additionally, the 6505 212 Combo is equipped with a buffered effects loop, allowing easy integration of pedals while maintaining the integrity of the signal. This design consideration ensures that users can experiment with their effects while still enjoying the amp’s natural character.

Overall, the Peavey 6505 212 Combo stands out for its reliability, tonal versatility, and powerful performance, making it a popular choice among professional musicians and hobbyists alike. With its intuitive controls and robust construction, it delivers an outstanding playing experience that can adapt to numerous musical contexts.
