| Peavey Electronics 6505 II Tube Guitar Amplifier Reissue |
Peavey Electronics® 6505 II Tube Guitar Amplifier Reissue keeps the key design components of the high-gain original while also offering functional upgrades for improving performance. The 6505 II reissue is the same sonically and cosmetically--even returning to using Plexiglas on the front panel. In addition, Peavey has developed a better output transformer that fixes a variation in the mid-range sound between different 6505 amps. Now you've got the crushing tone of the best example of the original series.
The 6505 II has an output power of 120-watts (RMS) into 16, 8, or 4 ohms; impedance is switchable on the rear panel and there are quarter-inch effects loop jacks for inserting chorus, reverb, delay pedals etc. As a recording engineer, I like the Preamp Out jack for sending a direct signal out to a mixing console or recording device.
On the front panel, the Channel Select switches between the rhythm or lead channels and each channel has a separate EQ as well as individual Resonance and Presence power amp controls plus Pre and Post preamp controls. There is also a Crunch Select Switch and Bright Switch for the Rhythm channel.
The 6505 II's newly updated footswitch offers a three-button design and controls: channel selection, effects loop, and Crunch on/off.
Peavey's competitors have gone to great lengths to duplicate the success of the 6505 Series, but none will get as close to the original manufacturer. The Peavey Electronics 6505 II Tube Guitar Amplifier Reissue sells for $1,499 MSRP.
