The new 6505 1992 Original is Finally HERE | Did Peavey get it right?!

[@ilikepotatoes1345]

With no exaggeration, these are some of the best sounds I've heard in a youtube tone demo ever.

[@OTTOAUDIO]

Even on a phone it sounds good

[@mrkite89]

Great tone, no doubt. But if you listen closely to your favourite albums you'll find that the guitars are much "smaller" sounding, way less bass and a bit more "air" than the tone recorded here: this "massive" tone is unusuable in a professional mix, because it will clash with bass gtr and kick drum, and you would hear nothing but mud. As a recording engineer, I find that miking the amp from a certain distance (anywhere from 15cm to 1.5mt or more, depending on the room and the rig) gives a much more "finished", mix-ready tone. Try it and see for yourself! ;-)

[@continuum288]

I second that..

[@continuum288]

@@mrkite89 I hear that.. Even if the tone is good from the source and miced properly, nothing some decent equing can't assist with as well.. As most would do that with just about any captured tone to some extent to fit into a pro mix.

[@wadekresak2149]

You're getting some great tones here! What type of 6L6 are they putting in these new monsters?

[@johnpauldove3892]

So happy you got to be the one! Rooting for you, from Peavey HQ.

[@belligerentamateur]

Hey John! I appreciate ya, thanks for the vote of confidence!

[@TheGooseChaseMusic]

Between the EVH 5150s, Stealths, 6505+, etc that you've had on this channel, this one most immediately sounds like what I hear in my head when someone says block letter. It sounds phenomenal!

[@afterstars]

Kyle, as a credit to you, I am heavily considering ordering a 6505 from Sweetwater and I think the folks at Peavey should know it’s because of your channel. Stay well, bro.

thank you very much, my friend

Sounds killer! Glad you could show this off for us I really hope these cabs specifically become popular so we stop hearing 5150s into V30s on everything

[@belligerentamateur]

I hope the same. These new speakers definitely deliver

[@jesperbc]

Holy crap, dude! This amp sound INSANE! All the growl!!!

[@Israfel518]

Awesome sounding rig! Definitely want to see a shootout between the 6505 cab and Mesa 4x12 with this head. Need to see if the old pairing of Peavey head/Mesa cab is dethroned! Great content as always!

Thanks Mario! Something like that will happen in the near future

[@untoldguitarist]

I own a 280watt Mesa OS Recto V30 straight cab. And very doubtful, I also own other cabs including Peavey cabs. And the Peavey's just sound like a blanket is over them compared to the Mesa. Literally you don't need any boost with a 6505+ running through the straight cabinet, but definitely with the regular 5150/6505 to tighten up the looser bottom end.

[@bigwomp932]

Ha, I remember seeing Israfel and Tentacles open for Organ Harvest at the 6/6/06 show in that skate park

[@rodrigorivera2941]

Duuuude!!!! I'm super hyped now!!!!! But i'm sure those won't be available soon on Chile . At least for a while and it will cost a limb. Greetings from Chile, keep that good content coming. I really enjoy it.

[@FankDWalter]

Thanks!

[@mattcamacho5570]

Killer vid, Love the tone big time. Glad this amp and cab are back!

[@swaffy101]

Sounds great! The best sounding guitar with that amp was the Les Paul custom.

[@belligerentamateur]

I agree, love that thing

[@sheldonswan45]

That drop C guitar sounded great

[@Dankdaddytyty]

It's a must to try Drop C on the 6505

[@DJ33]

Very cool. Glad you got the opportunity and started with DAE!!

[@kevinbilodeau4123]

I bought my 5150 in 2001. I still haven't found anything to replace it. Haven't needed to or I should say wanted to. I'll never sell it. Maybe now I'll just add one. This seems like a natural choice. Maybe the 6505 II. Awesome stuff Kyle 🤘🤘

[@marekb7375]

It kinda reminds me of modern production greenback cab. Very balanced and fun sound. Congratulations, love it!

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

Not to be a dick, but how? I think people get this idea of Greenbacks from IRs, forums, or confusing it with a Vintage 30, which might as well be from Beta Reticuli in comparison. I tried demoing the Yo Bonermassive signature wah through a Suhr cab with a Greenback in it, and the toe setting...FARRRRRT. Put 4 Greenbacks in a 4x12, 100w tube head of choice , crank it & play death metal. They might not survive the session. Unless you're an "edge of breakup" boomer type player, Greenbacks are frankly kinda garbage, especially for aggro, high volume use. Peavey did have speakers with certain bogeys, G12T75, V30, and iirc something akin to an Eminence Legend, which might be closer to what you're thinking of. To give you an idea, Iommi went with H30 creambacks, higher wattage, but his habit was to turn everything full up, but roll the bass up to the edge of where the farting out began and back up a bit. That was a full stack, and 8x30w in theory it should have been 240 watts. Players abandoned the Greenback in droves until basically reading about Eric Johnson, who, btw, claimed to be able to hear the difference in 9v batteries, and hoarded the old mercury or whatever phased out type there was.

[@belligerentamateur]

That was the thought behind the speakers. Higher powered greenbacks with more articulation

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

@@belligerentamateur so, a V30 ish thing? I suppose those old Peavey USA speakers went away when they moved to China, I think I used to know the model name. Sheffield? Lol bit a rant I guess, last night was the night for it, too I dunno, you see this all the time. Whatshisface from Lamb of God used 59s for one album & a generation of metalheads discover why Larry Dimarzio whipped up the Super Distortion in the first place! Similar thoughts to your video on power amp (phase inverter akchyually) distortion. I suppose it's genre dependent, too, some DOOM lord has an old JMP he dimes into greenies with PAFs & sounds great When he plays it ;-)

incredible sounds, but what really makes this video so special is just the pure infectious joy. congrats dude, so happy for you!

[@bedrockhead]

Your giddiness reminds me of the first time experiencing the 5150. It was early 1993 and a buddy had to drive to Dallas to get one, as it was the closest place at the time to central Arkansas that carried them. He played that thing for what seemed like hours, just grinning like the Cheshire Cat. He and I were probably the only ones grinning, considering a 120 watt tube amp was unleashed upon an Air Force dormitory.

[@adamkorzon2972]

When the 5150 line came out I finally had an amp that i needed no pedals to chug.My VTM and butcher were nice but they needed a bit of a gain lift,but peavey always had some tone to them.

[@tonehammer7276]

Sounds killer. I really like the cab too! I propably to buy the Head with matching cab :) Should suit my 6534+ as well! Would be interesting to hear that cab with a Rectifier (rev g?)

[@ADRPatriot79]

Are there any tonal differences between the 6505 1992 original and the 6505 II?

[@dennis_the_menace583]

Yes. I heard after they made the original they redesigned the amp for the combo for whatever reason. Eddie liked that one more so that became the 2. Now I can’t confirm this but the 2 is tighter on the low end for sure.

this sounds amazing! i really wanna have one! i play 5150 blockletter captures with my Quad cortex all day as my main amp, i might aswell get this and use it for gigs! the cab also sounds amazing 👌 only question is, will i need an attenuator for home use, i have neighbors below me 😓

[@meatmaster85]

You always have insightful reviews that really allow me to educate myself. I really appreciate your opinion on tones and gear since you play what I like to play, you set things up in a variety of ways, and you always stick to the nastiest riffs to showcase the sounds. Keep rockin Brother Bull.

[@belligerentamateur]

You got it, man

[@K707OR30]

This sounds fucking killer. Never thought i would be looking at messing with some Sheffield speakers but I’m totally going to look into those I’m loving the tonal qualities of those. It’s got all of the definition and projection of a v30 without the raspy mid overtones and and barkiness. There’s something on the top end that I’m digging too where a lot speakers tend to fizz or get harsh. It bites but not obnoxiously so.

[@xiwiwix]

Straight up, goose bumps when you kick in with the Kyle riff \m/ Super happy for you, brother! Sounds friggin bad ass!!!! Now, they need to do the mini 50watt head/combo already!!!!

[@jjcollins]

Really awesome video and very well done! This is the sound and feel I remember when buying my first 5150 in the late 90s. While I'm not as heavy a player as yourself, I'm more hard rock and classic heavy metal, the tone and tightness sounds incredible. I've been waiting on the release of these to see if they would be like my original ones, looks like they hit the ball out of the park! Thank you for taking the time to make this video for us!

[@bondalero0074]

Glad to hear; if they could re-create the 90’s 5150 stack would be Heaven sent. Personally, I hope they can and get back on top of a merciless game of making the best amplification our money can buy! Good Luck Peavey; “Make us proud!”#Peavey#🎸🤘🏻🔥

[@AuntAlnico4]

​@@bondalero0074😂 I'm pretty sure Peavey couldn't deliver on this amp because it was made in China but that China production is up and rolling they can deliver. Either way the USA factory isn't making any amps aside from maybe rack mount but I doubt they are even making those in the USA. Peavey is probably in more trouble than Dean guitars for example who have had bad press lately they are doing way better than Peavey for example. Good luck to em indeed but unfortunately I Don't see Peavey being on top again ever.

Great tones! I’m intrigued by your use of the term “fizzy.” I have an old Peavey 4X12, no idea which speakers are in there. I play through a heavily modded 1963 Bandmaster which has tons of gain. I tend to play it at low volumes so as not to upset every living creature within a quarter mile (especially my wife), and I get a tone I describe as fizzy until I crank it up. I’ve been thinking it was the amp, but maybe it’s been my cab all along.

[@JesterDyne]

Thank you Kyle! I'm not really sure and i don't know how long you played but... i think we heard a Speaker Breakup right there. At the End it sounds much more smoother and solid. The speakers really sounds awesome with the Amp. Reminds me of my 1998 Marshall AX (25W Greenback) Cab. This was a reminder for the Love i have to my 6505 and why i like the non Plus 6505 more than any other Amp

[@BazonBlades]

Damn....That 6505 sounds nasty af. Awesome job Kyle. I have to say, I am super excited about that cab. I have owned a few 5150/6505 heads and ran all through V30 loaded cabs. Those Sheffields sounded really good. The 6505 mid-range mess was tidied up very well by those speakers. That 6505/cab combo sounded as musical as the very best classic 5150 tones. The last riff in drop C tone sounded so close to the Burn My Eyes tone. It instantly popped into my head as soon as you started playing.

[@tylerlaiche8443]

Best video ive seen on your channel yet! New riffs and was a joy to watch!

[@rar15usa1]

My problem is that I can't decide whether I want the 1992 or the 6505 2. I have the MS 4x12 with the k85 speakers, and they krush it. I have to admit that the new 4x12 sounds awesome.

[@mattvdh]

it's quite beefy but I think it needs the mudkiller to tighten up the low mids a bit but otherwise super chunky sound

[@snapascrew]

I didn’t know they were updating the cab. Cool. From what I can tell the head is the same with a “transformer close to what was in the earlier amps” even tho the transformers never changed from first 5150 to last American 6505 😂😂. And before anyone @‘s me I’m just going off of what the folks from peavey told me.

I dunno why I sold it off and in hindsight (like a lot of other things, lol), I should of held onto the sucker. The amp was pretty one-dimensional, but boy that dimension was all that was needed at that time. The Les Paul tones here sounds 🤌 ❤️👌!
