[extollo]

~$720 MSRP about 1/2 the 212 version.

60w
sealed cab.
mic sim'd xlr out

If they are reliable (ie. anti-vypyr) this could be interesting.

[diehard82]

That it could. They seem to be cutting on prices. They're feeling the heat from Bugera.

Winter NAMM: Demand Builds for Peavey 6505® Plus Guitar Amp in 1x12 Combo

January 15, 2009

ANAHEIM, Calif. — After forging the sound of aggression for more than 15 years, Peavey is making its highly respected, high-gain 6505® Series amplifier available for the first time in a 1x12 combo-amp configuration.

The Peavey 6505—the amplifier used by metal stars Trivium, Machine Head, Bullet For My Valentine and many more—will now be available in a 60-watt combo with two channels and an extensive feature set. The new 6505 Plus 112 combo harnesses the full gain and legendary tone of the Peavey 6505 Series, which since 1991 has defined the sounds of extreme rock guitar, into a format that is equally suited to clubs, rehearsal rooms and studios.

Five select 12AX7 preamp tubes and a pair of 6L6GC power-amp tubes provide the tonal foundation for the 6505 Plus 112 combo, while patented circuitry such as Peavey’s Resonance control tweak its legendary tone. Both the Lead and Rhythm channels feature independent three-band EQ, pre/post gain controls and Presence and Resonance adjustment. The Rhythm channel also includes a footswitchable Crunch boost.

The 6505 Plus 112 combo also features the Peavey MSDI™ microphone-simulated direct interface, which eliminates the need for miking by allowing users to route the amp’s signal directly to a recording device or mixing console. Additional features include three-spring reverb, effects loop and external speaker outputs, plus a 12” Sheffield® loudspeaker in a sealed-back cabinet that offers maximum resonance and sound projection.

The extensive Peavey 6505 artist roster includes Machine Head, Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine, Black Tide, Evergrey, Unearth, Story of the Year, Bleeding Through, Job For A Cowboy, Black Stone Cherry, In Flames, Gojira, Daath, Divine Heresy, Evergreen Terrace, The Devil Wears Prada, Bury Your Dead, All That Remains, Demon Hunter and many more.

The Peavey 6505 112 Combo will be available from authorized Peavey retailers in Q2 2009.

60 watts RMS
16, 8 or 4 ohms
Five 12AX7 preamp tubes and two 6L6GC power amp tubes

thats actually quite the deal.

Peavey rules!

[The Anomaly]

I know the answer from this board will probably be, "who cares?", but does anyone know if the 6505 has a "passable" clean channel?

[thebloodbrother]

the 14 year old me is freaking out right now.

[5ththrax]

So its gonna probably be ~$539ish on MF. Im going by the Valveking's MSRP of $729.99.

[Jzbass25]

Sounds cool, but will it be a little bit darker voiced like the 5150 combo was? I'd like if it kept to its original tone.

[Inazone]

I know the answer from this board will probably be, "who cares?", but does anyone know if the 6505 has a "passable" clean channel?

Probably not the best choice (by a long shot) if clean tone matters much to you, but decent if EQ'd properly. My feeling is that you don't buy a 5150/6505 for *recording* cleans, but if you're in a gigging band that relies on the high gain channel(s) most of the time and need to go clean here and there, it should suffice.

[Fire Spirit]

Could be a great amp for a reasonable price. The only negative is maybe the dreaded S word Sheffield. Some of them are tinny sounding so a speaker swap may be needed to get the best out of it.
Sealed back combo ? hope it doesn't have heat problems.

[twistofcain]

the clean is fine, learn to eq, use some delay and chorus and your neck pickup... and itll all be good

[SLY_Z_28]

i wonder how good the mic sim will be...usually they sound nothing like the amp and are terrible

[StringKing7]

oh golly gosh! i can't wait!

[yell03]

I already pre-ordered one:thu:
I hope it comes with a footswitch, but I am doubtful on that.

I think I am going to return my Fender Blues Jr NOS Tweed and sell off alot of my pedals.
With the 6505+ 112 I figure I won't need most of my distortion pedals.

I might keep my Behringer TS808 Clone and maybe my Boss OD3 Overdrive for Blues, but I might not need my MT2 or DS1 anymore.:confused:

I just hope the 112 is not HEAVY like the 212 version.

[Corey112]

I pre ordered mine too, any news on when they ship?

[yell03]

It says 5/11/09 now, it was saying 10/9/09 for a while.
I am hoping to see it late April, early May:thu:

I called Peavey, they did not know for sure.

[uberthrall]

Having had a 5150 combo in my last gigging band, I recently picked up a XXX 1x12 combo expecting the same type of onboard gain. The XXX didn't let me down.....great little amp. It got me to thinking just yesterday though, why didn't Peavey ever offer the 5150/6505 in the 1x12 configuration.

When I noticed this thread, I was really pleasantly surprised. Can't wait to check them out.

[StringKing7]

originally they were supposed to ship may 1st, but now its delayed to october? noooo!!!

im just worried that this amp is going to spread just like the plague that is the spider iii. its kind of annoying having the same amp as every other 14 year old kid on youtube.

[yell03]

I'm actually thinking about buying a Budda Superdrive 18 1x12 combo instead now.
