Peavey 6505 MH Mini Guitar Amp Head - 20 Watts Of Power In An Incredible Mini Metal Amp

[@zackakai5173]

I'd like to take a second to appreciate Dagan being the one guy to demo this amp who doesn't run a crazy 9-string scalloped Ibanez with Fluence pickups and a Floyd tuned to Drop G tuning and then use nothing but the first fret on the lowest string.

[@chrisgordon86]

I completely agree with you.

[@netherfred]

So he instead used a 6k+ euro Gibson, which is of course what everybody plays these days...

[@erikthered9670]

@@netherfred well an SG is an SG, its not like the $5,000 Gibson one is going to sound that much better/different than a $300 Epiphone, most people probably couldn't tell the difference.

[@kevinmatthews9469]

What an amazing and comprehensive review and demo. I'm a total metal head and I love the 6505 ± tone from bands like Chimaira and the master Rob Arnold. But, this shows me what I wanted to hear. All the other great things that make this amp so great. Dagan you're just as awesome as the amp.

[@westcoastbrotha]

Bruh, I am also a HUGE Rob Arnold fan. Question, do you think this mini tube head would be a suffice for something heavy but with less crazy high watts? I live in an apartment but really want to invest in something that will give me the heaviness I want. I doubt I’d be able to work with the 6505+ with a 4x12 mesa boogie cabinet lol

[@fasteddievh2072]

Excellent demo! I just picked one up. Extremely versatile and extremely easy to dial in many many different tones. So much more than just a metal amp.

[@joeybydin439]

I can't really discern from the video, how is the clean channel in your opinion? I assume it'll be a bit better than the full size due to the different tubes

[@zackakai5173]

@@joeybydin439 I've had one for about two years now. The default clean channel IMO is a little dull, but with the bright switch on it's actually pretty damn cool. It's a little Vox-ish to my ear with some nice chime in the high end. That said it REALLY doesn't have a lot of spare headroom, and I had to swap one of the pre-amp tubes for something a little less noisy to comfortably run more than about one drive pedal into it (don't remember what exactly, but I'm sure there's a guide online). If I were buying something strictly for cleans and had the money to burn, I'd spring for a Vox or Fender. If you're looking for a good metal amp for not a lot of money that also has a decent clean channel, and you're willing to put in a little work, you can do a lot worse than this.

[@AkiraSpectrum]

great demo of this amp, it sounds amazing.

[@chrisgordon86]

What a lovely lovely sounding amp this is. I appreciated this demo immensely. Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this.

[@spy662006]

This recently became available in Australia again a few weeks ago and I snapped one up! What a BEAST!! Well worth the purchase! The rhythm channel can still get a great clean to a JMP-JCM 800 ish (think Def Leppard High n Dry) to that rip your face off 6505 we all know and love on the lead channel. Gain for days and if you put a screamer in front of your choice it’s pure heaven!

[@73prd]

Hi.mate this through a 412 loud enough for a 3 piece punk bank report live without micing??

Great demo thanks Dagan. I love your style man. Just wanted to mention that in some recent videos the sound quality didn't seem very good, but this one was great. Must be that Peavey. BTW, my first amp was a Peavey combo. Cheers from lockdown in Melbourne. Stay safe and well.

[@saeedkhabaz4761]

The big brother's got a quite a bit more low end because of 6L6s but this thing is a monster too.

[@d-evil666]

actually, the SPKR button is for turning the speaker (cab) to which the amp is connected on and off, not the emulated speaker, that cannot be turned off

[@CedricSatterfield]

For Posterity: True, but a line out from the effect send bypasses the speaker emulation for the purpose of using one’s own IRs and recording.

No other amp out there that makes me smile like the 6505.... except MAYBE the Friedman BE but at itS price point, the 6505 OWNS

[@dickieradd]

This is the 2nd demo I've seen on youtube that proves what insane rock tone this amp has. Smoother than Marshall, but yet still crisp enough.

[@daniel_naaden]

[@cosmiceon]

Appreciate the Strapping Young Lad Riff.

[@johncallender9711]

FYI... for all in the states... it is in stock and available for $599 at the most dominant store you can think of over here. Not trying to advertise for them at all... PMT has it going on! Sadly, we all know the store I am talking about. Not so many other chains anymore, only a few. Like the amp though and wanted to give a nod to where there is some stock right now.

[@jeffreypcoaltrain]

Great demo, but I'm unsure whether you accurately described what the enable/defeat switch does. According to the manual, "this feature effectively disconnects any speaker/cabinet connected to the SPEAKER OUTPUT and redirects the output to an internal dummy load." So I don't think the impulse response in the MSDI is ever turned off, that switch just allows you to play/record silently without a speaker cab or separate dummy load connected to the speaker output. And you'd have to insert a Two Notes into the speaker output and ignore the MSDI altogether to get different IR's... Right? Love your stuff, dude!

[@davidplatel3815]

Just bought this amp and tried to use it at band practise Sounds awesome BUT 20watt setting.. lead channel is getting unusable amounts of feedback at 4 pre gain, post gain at around 6. Is that typical of the amp. Or did I get a duff one?

[@beefnacos6258]

I see lots of good reviews on this amp but I hear a lot of people just like you say the same exact thing. That's what made me never pull the trigger on one. I hear a lot of people saying that it has uncontrollable amounts of feedback and hissing and buzzing

[@brandonharris9160]

Would a power conditioner help?

[@franktib]

Learn how to use it

[@davidplatel3815]

@franktib I do have several years of gigging with various marshalls and I have to say I've never had this problem. I've tried this amp multiple times and it is just unusable on high gain channel at gigging volumes without a noisegate, and I don't like the negatives to using those. Great on the crunch channel though.

[@tjborekvideo]

Sounds very "pokey" with that cabinet in this video. Would running it through the Peavey 212-6 cabinet (twin 25W Greenbacks) enhance the low end?

[@jegl1012]

This guy makes me wish I was British!

[@hhernandez044]

Would you say it has the same feel as the 5150? Great video!

[@guitarandgames1386]

The amps are the exact same wiring wise it's just a difference in tubes. So it will give you a great 5150 like sound but it's different. And if your talking evh 5150 not peavey then evh are known to sound a little less warm

The mic placement choice is questionable.

[@iangarza990]

just wondering, where would you put it?

[@bisaillion]

@@iangarza990 I'm for having a mic further away to capture ambience to blend in, but generally if I had only 1 mic, I'd start by put it right up to the grill, especially for a lower watt amp so you can capture as much low end and warmth as possible. Angling mics are fine as well but it adds colour rather than straight. I'll often have one straight and one angled and blend the 2. But, again, if I had one mic it would be straight on the grill. As far as where the mic on the cone goes, generally the closer to the cap the brighter, the further the darker. Shift that to taste. If you're going for bright EVH tones I'd put it closer. Just my 2 cents. It's fun experimenting with mic placement!
