The Peavey 6505 PLUS HEAD is part of the 6505 Series of guitar amplifiers, named in celebration of Peavey's first 40 years, 1965 to 2005. The 6505 also marks the relaunch of the 5150 Series, the immensely popular amplifiers Peavey designed with Edward Van Halen. Like the 6505 head, the 6505+ offers two channels. However, the 6505+ adds separate EQ, Resonance, and Presence controls to each channel, giving you more control and flexibility.
The 6505 Plus Head features six 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6GC power amp tubes, with presence and resonance controls and three-band EQ for taming their notorious tone. While known as the 5150, these amps became the undisputed go-to guitar amps for scores of rock, hardcore and metal bands due to their raw tone, relentless power and road-proven reliability. The 6505 is still the unquestionable choice for an ever-expanding list of endorsers, including Ted Nugent, In Flames, Visqueen, HIMSA, Darkest Hour, Sworn Enemy, Unearth, Bleeding Through, Story of the Year, P.O.D., Bullet For My Valentine, Chimaira, Evergreen Terrace and many more.
