Notes about the 'One Song' series: The idea for the 'One Song' series came about when I was trying to come up with a cool idea for my next EPIC/MEGA amp comparison with around 30 amps. So I came up with the idea of writing a song in multiple styles that would do a good job of 'testing' the versatility of an amp. It would start clean and end with metal. And I thought it could be interesting to use multiple guitars, so one for each section. Then I realised that it would be cool to release each amp's video individually first and when I'm all done I'll upload a compilation that would essentially be similar to all my other mega comparisons, including all the timecodes etc. This will be called: 'One Song, 30 Amps!'. So that's the plan basically! However, I'm also planning on running the song through some modeling platforms to also demo those and see how well they can work with all the material in the song. I've chosen to NOT use the same IRs for each segment this time because I want to use cab tones that the amps are 'comfortable' with. So don't view this as a direct comparison of the amps per say, but view it as an amp showcase that also allows you to hear how the amps function inside the song or inside the music, of course in comparison to one another in that sense! This will showcase the uniqueness of the amps more, which is more fun imho, and it also allows me to be a little bit more creative when reamping each amp. Plus: some of you guys will say 'they all sound the same' anyway and the different cab sounds will make the amps sound more interesting and unique! For the metal segment I'll very likely use a boost pedal for most of the amps, just so you metalheads or djentheads can hear how a downtuned baritone with a boost sounds with the amp. Anyway, I hope you guys will enjoy this series and I hope I made the song interesting enough to listen to it a couple times (because I don't expect anyone to watch all 30 or more amp videos lol). -Jon
Have you tried the Peavey Triple XXX? It’s absolutely killer and a sleeper amp. Never heard a bad rhythm tone out of it and it doesn’t need a boost when it’s at the right dampening setting.
Sonic Drive Studio I’m pretty surprised with the clean, I’m using some sentient nazgul SDs in my ibanez Fr and the clean tones I can get are super nice especially with some reverb
Awesome, this reminds me of why this is my favorite amp! Also, please do one of these with the Laney IronHeart! One of the most underrated metal amps for sure
@@firmans12 I do respect the artist's choice, but then again, as the amp/cabinet is 95% of your guitar tone, you're locking yourself to the defaults on which most people operate. I don't say that the gear will sound bad, but then again, it sounds the same like the majority. Accordingly, my respects befall mostly on those who are ingenious in the way they combine the gear as Jon does for example with Orange cab having some other speakers rather than V30s and Engl amp, which sounds superb. And of course, at the same time you get quite a custom tone.

Thank you Eddie, for everything you've done for guitar, including the design of this amp.

You're the king of comparison videos, the rest of us should cover their heads....😁😃😀

Sonic Drive Studio plz can you do the same with the old Laney vh100r
@@JONNIE_ROCKER would love to but I don't have one

Surprised by the clean-tones on this amp.
You got them well dialed in.
my 60 watt version is already overdriving by this amount of pre-gain.
Might wanna try running a treble bleed and turn the volume down on your guitar.
Those pickups in the Tele are pretty low output too
Sonic Drive Studio I’m pretty surprised with the clean, I’m using some sentient nazgul SDs in my ibanez Fr and the clean tones I can get are super nice especially with some reverb
Even after trying and owning loads of amps, I still go back to my 6505 as it's just a great sounding beast!!
I’m in love with it’s crunch actually. As a metal player, I like a good crunch to base my tones off of.
Awesome, this reminds me of why this is my favorite amp! Also, please do one of these with the Laney IronHeart! One of the most underrated metal amps for sure
Of course!
The palm muting sounds epic!!
Finally, a demo that's not strictly Metal chugging, but showcases Rock and Melodic Lead soloing. Good job.
Thank you peavey 6505 sounded for me perfect, how is your signal chain for recording? Thanx
Hands down ... `..`.. Best AMP!
"ma tura kadere" means "It's killing me" in the city I live 😃I love this AMP to death , so many thanks for awesome Vlog 🤘👊🍻❤
Why do you choose the 6505 instead of the 6505+?
Proof that the 6505 is not a one trick pony…
He is multiple ponies!
Would you choose this or the Marshall dsl 100?
The main reason I love this amp is it keeps it simple. Two channels.
Is that normal for your power and standby LEDs to be blinking?
Thats just how they appear on camera. its due to the frame rate of the camera.
6506 is the industry guitar tone standard together with the 5150. Overly used in my opinion through recordings from the 90s onwards.
So is dual recti,
But why does overlyused bother you man? Its the artist choice

You've earned a sub and sold me on a 6505
great lead solo sound!
Great Vidéo! Do you plan to do the same with the Randall Diavlo?
Would love to but I don't have that one anymore sadly
This the best video I’ve seen for this amp head. Really nice demo. I’m buying a 6506 II. Thx
Great song, awesome riffs and really nice comparison video! Thanks for the great content!
Have you ever played the 6505+ Combo?
@4:40 its almost the amp leds aare djenting with you!
thanks for a great demo
Cooooorrrrrrr that sounds great!!
The master of tone
Cheers brother!
4:26
Killer!!
versatile amps...i run an equalizer before my 6505+ to help dial in my clean tones a little better.. i think they sound great
What EQ pedal do you use and what are your settings?
I love this amp
Jon, can you tell me what your using to get from your amp into your DAW.?
Loadbox, into my interface and IRs in Helix Native
Amp YT-channel nr 1? Keep on going dude!!!
Thank you!
Apologies if I missed it but is there any low and high cuts in the IR block or any post eqing done to the guitars?
No post-processing aside from a HPF at around 80hz usually, aside from the effects that are noted in the video
Some respectable tones 🤘
killer tones !
Your peavey is made in China or in the US??
China
🤘
