Nothing puts it out there like a Peavey Amplifier. Metal never dies. The last two decades of the modern metal movement have turned to one amplifier to give them premium distortion, the Peavey 6505 Series. The amp is the go-to guitar amplifier for scores of rock, hardcore and metal bands for their raw tone, relentless power and road-proven reliability. The 6505 plus features ten power amp tubes, with presence and resonance controls and the Peavey patented “crunch” channel.

"A million pounds is heavier than 6 stealth bombers."
Yeah, that's real relatable =D
I own a 92 5150 Block Letter, and a 2008 6505+ Love them both, never gonna get rid of em.
Hell ya, I got the 6505+ and is my all time favorite amp, especially matched with a Mesa 4x12
bakerXderek I want to buy one of them but I don't they are Chinese or what??? what is yours???
Ardalan Sh his one is USA made not chinese
How is the 4x12?
You can't go wrong with Peavey or Mesa Boogie!! Hands down the best two amps!!....of course that's my opinion....
I feel like they way over sold it saying it made a new genre, modern metal is more djent kinda stuff
had a 5150 and it truly can do about anything well except country. Jazz, funk, blues, classic rock, modern rock, metal, hard core, you name it.
Amazing how they mentioned the brown sound and never mentioned Eddie Van Halen.
Believe evh used old plexi Marshall's for that sound.
There's a reason behind that. The 6505 was originally the 5150, Van Halen's signature model amp. I personally own a Peavey 5150, and it even has his signature on it. After 10 years, he decided to go to Fender/Jackson-Charvel, who offered him his own brand. With that came the birth of EVH amps, and he brought the 5150 trademark along with him. Peavey wasn't going to stop producing these amps, as they're great sellers, so they rebranded it.
@@alexwoolridge94aw Eddie used Marshall Super Leads (Plexi) and later Soldano SLO100..then in 1992 he teamed up with Peavey and the 5150 was born
That's because the brown sound is vintage Marshalls.
ive never seen a peavey product that actually impressed me.
*Talks about "Super high-gain sound that defined modern metal!"
*Doesn't show a single bit of it
>shows a guy playing a strat
But do we really need to see one when we all know it's true!!.....Most metal bands I've seen in concert have either played Peavey amps, or Mesa Boogie amps...
The name of the video is how it's made. Not how it sounds
Actually the 'brown sound' that he mentions was coined by Eddie Van Halen in describing the tone of his Marshall tube amp...several years before the thunder of Metallica's 'Master of Puppet's' Mesa Boogies.
I own a 6505 plus 112 60 watt combo and I absolutely love it! My ESP sounds incredible through it.
It all started with the 5150 , which was designed after the slo100 , evh played and recorded with the slo100 just before the 5150 released.
The first real amp I had was a Peavey solid state 50 watt combo that didn't work. At the time P used 8 pin op amps all over the PC board. But the jerks took the time to scratch the numbers off every component they could and refuse to send me a schematic.. I finally got it working by accident. Never owned a Peavey since, and never will.
I have an Ultra 112 combo, LOVE it! It's the precursor to the XXX, JSX, 3120, and XXX2. Too bad they moved to China. After the way Hartley did his people - some of whom had worked there for decades - I'll never give Peavey another dime. My next amp will hopefully be a Baron K88 or K2, too bad they closed their doors in 2016. 😭😭😭
Peavey always made reliable workhorse equipment but most rock players never preferred Peavey until the 5150 come out. Up to that point, it was always a country amp
This video made me love my 6505 USA made ❤️
I love Peavey products,the Peavey Headliner 4x10 has incredible low end,and it's very durable...it's a powerful road dog.
the amp is not so versitile as guy said. This is typical high gain amp that suits best for metal, rock.
more metal, than rock - the crunch is too dirty, and you usually don't use the lead for rock. Clean is more bass heavy than on most marshalls or fenders, even orange is less bass heavy.
I'll keep my Vox amp because I play blues.
That was the first time I've heard anyone say a 6505 is versatile lol
The 6505+ is more versatile than the 6505. The 6505 has a shared circuit stage for Rhythm and Lead channels hence why, it doesn't really have a clean channel at all. Perfect for Rock and Metal though. The 6505+ has an actual clean channel because it has 2 seperate channel stages, so it is a versatile amp.
This am is not what you want to play rock with.
The distortion is not right for it. Still a great amp, I own one, but I like my 5150III much better and it’s more versatile!
I’ve always wanted one...I think it’s time to get one!
Yeah I’ve had 3 6505+ and they all had constant problems and noises. The original triple x is probably my favorite peavey amp, plenty of gain and the overall tone is killer. I pair the triple x head with a evh 5150 III.
Have you tried an ultra plus? ...great sound, very similar to the xxx
Best of the best! :)
I picked up a 6505+ last night from a friend. Nice to know mine may have been assembled by meema
Funny no mention of King Edward....this amp is actually the 5150ll....I have (2) of them and love them!! I also have a USA 6534+ and am really digging the tone....
6534+ is a bad mabba jabba!!
I've been looking for a decent deal on one for awhile now
.... I'm hoping if I keep my feelers out, I'll come across one
It's a little more open sounding like the Original 5150 ( to my ears) as the 6505+/5150ll seems like a tighter tone...live them all really....hahaha...
Lame! No Eddie mention no James Brown ( designer of amp) mentioned. And not to mention nowadays they aren't even made in the usa anymore. I have a first generation 5150 and its awesome!
+Eric O'Reilly Nice!
They legally cant, Nor can they reference the Soldano design that EVH lifted to achieve it.
Eric O'Reilly I believe its only the combos that are chinese made, the heads are still USA
jubjub f: Not true. "Designed in the U.S.A" and "Made in China." The U.S. Factory closed down. Sad. All 6505's are made in China.
neuralfraud Look it up!
When my grandma working at my amp factory :D
Funny thing is by the time this commercial was aired, plant manager Jim Scanlon had already left Peavey for Tower about six months earlier. Haha! The irony is how there's a Sweetwater ad above this, selling the Chinese made Peavey Invective by Misha for $1,999.99. Yikes!!
I just saw a video of the Peavey factory in Georgia and it is deserted.
i'm getting the 6505+ next summer. unless something better, more powerful and cheaper hits the market, i'm all for this
@@speedforhire that's why im going for this summer. i will most likely order in june
Hi gain, modern metal *shows strat*
You can get a really nice metal sound with a strat
All these people lost their jobs thanks to Hartley Peavey!
No way the workers add seasoning to the end sound you hear those accents! What happened they got layed off?
Love how he is wearing safety glasses. Like it's gonna blow up.
Traded away my 6505 head after I saw the Peavey episode of "Undercover Boss". Can't bring myself to own another Peavey product after that.
I like Marshall way more
It's not surprising giving how arrogant this whole thing came off. Mr. Peavey sounds like he was raised in a barn and regularly snorts coke off strippers assholes.
Boogie all day
That's why I switch to Mesa boogie myself
@@deathmetalmachine Boogies are very very expensive here in the UK
I have A USA 6505+ and a Chinese 6505 MH. They both sound great. I do wish they were still made here but better than them shutting down completely.
Literally showing Kim Thayil of Soundgarden using Marshalls and Mesas
Want a one DIY kit
**Inhales the smell of fresh circuit boards**
Super amp for a guitar
Hahaha no marshalls is the best
The 5150 and 6505 are two of the best sounding amps ever made. And yes, I'm a huge Marshall guy also...but I love the 5150's...
I have the the ultra+ with a Marshall 1960 lead cab ... sounds darn nice!! .. Marshall has such a distinctive sound
Marshall defined the sound of Metal. Period, end of discussion, no room for argument.
how peavey is on reliability side is doing ?
what a shame,, no more MADE IN USA
I guess all the workers in this video lose thier jobs...
Get the old one's while you can!
my dream amp
2:29 It's through-hole, not surface mount
Yup, couldn't see a smd anywhere.
Cool manufacturing process. But, Presence is NOT patented by Peavey! And this WAS the 5150 before EVH left the fold.
I know. Ridiculous. My Engl has both. My Splawn had em. WTF.
Andy K i dont know why he said that, resonance is though from what I understand.
Andy K Before the the 5150 there was the VTM, before that was the butcher and before that was a Marshall JCM 800.
Because hairy Peavey did Patent those resonate and presence circuits in the amp. It must have something to do with that circuit .
Now theirs a brake press job i need lol
The bottom line it’s a 5150 just rebranding into the 6505 and made in China after seeing undercover boss all the person in medrian Mississippi factory lost their jobs
Talking about gain, brown sound, 'patented' stuff, but never made justice to the guy who mixed a Soldano and a Marshal into a Peavey 5150 and made them popular into the amps radar. And not even mention they still produce Wolfgangs under a covered name as well.
6:05 Dimmu Borgir 😎
It really doesn't matter where it's made and assembled if the right components and methods are used. You wanna complain about something? Well actually, the design... For one, the tube sockets are soldered directly to the circuit board. That's the biggest concern for me as an owner of a $1000 amp.
Nope. It was actually the EVH 5150 Peavey that started the Peavey craze in metal.When Eddie dropped their endorsement they changed the 5150 to the 6505.Lets not forget Mike Soldano and Mesa Boogie who was making better sounding high gain amps way before this.The dual Rec is on waaaaay more metal albums even though it came out at the beginning of the 90s.Dual Rec with a boost in front to tighten it up can only be beat by a very few very modern high gain amps.The dual rec pre-amp is a exact rip off of a Soldano SLO super lead circuit with a slightly different power section.
no.
the original block letter 5150 that evh designed with peavey is the sound that defined modern metal. the 6505+ is merely a renamed clone with slight variance in the lead channel that few people can distinguish
peavey did not create this tone Eddie did
Actually Soldano did. ;)
As cool as Eddie is he isn't an amp designer. He took a Soldano design, brought it to Peavey and asked for modifications.
@@wea69420 actually it was based off of a highly modded Marshal
get your facts straight
And that highly modified Marshall was based on a fender
Isn't the 6505 just a re-branded 5150?
DesertScorpionKSA yes, and the 5150 is still better.
They need to improve the stupid heat vent. They all crack, every 6505 I've seen has a cracked heat vent. A metal made one would be so much better, other than that, that amp is a workhorse.
Remember ordering one new from Peavey for my 5150 because it was cracked. And I was recovering the head. $65 this was 7 years ago. Its cracked.
Fast forward to 2019 and all of those workers on the line needs subtitles unless you speak Chinese.
All the workers in this ad are unemployed now.
To Bugera like this 4:04
Mary is probably a guitar god
All the workers in this video lost their jobs :(
Undercover boss did an episode with these guys. Hartley peavey isnt the head fred anymore and the new guy is a real asshole with a fake smile.
His son, lol
@@clutchmasters3402 Just asking but what makes you say that about Fred?
I learned something new about my guitar amp but that's cool because I thought it was a cheap version of another brand
Scrolled down to see 5150 comments, the fact that it's still commonly used for modern metal
😍😍😍😍
testing with a fender guitar?
some peavey products are excellent..some are.. so - so..but they are all built solid..
Rock and roll grandma's
I thought these asses were in dire straights after the Undercover Boss episode. So many 6505s have been sold theres no way. But the way they treated those employees was crap
I is a awesome amp.💯👍
Cool video but the guy saying this is the sound that defined modern metal is off. Has he not heard of Mesa?
I still leave one in the studio because it's a very good amp that hold up well. Proud to have one of the USA made models! My main amplifier is the EVH 5150iii, but this amp still can hold its own!
Kinda devalues it a bit when you think my awesome behemoth of an amplifier was glued together by someone's rogue granny lost in the Peavey factory..
I just bought one 5 minutes ago
I guess they are so great that all the employees at Peavy in Mississippi are out of a job
I love how they don't mention EDDIE VAN HALEN. He put them on the map with the 5150 amp
I heard that they got heaphestus himself to make the amps
The hammer of a Chinese god .
for modern high gain its pretty much a peavy a mesa or an orange
Or Engl, Diezel, Bogner, Freyette, Soldano, Fortin, Randall, Revv, Laney, Victory, Fractal, Kemper, Helix and I'm sure a few more...but thanks for playing
@@rickfeith6372 EVH 5150 III (Fender)
But how big is it in football Fields?
As a simple minded, proud american I demand to know!
SO, anyone owns the new made in china heads? 6505/6505+? IIRC the batch should be approaching 2 years old. What is yours doing? or anyone who's repairing em during the period can quote on the internasl?
mine lost all of its bite. it no longer sounds like a 6505. doesnt have that tube push feeling that it used to have when i first bought it. i replaced the tubes and turned the bias all the way up etc. im now looking to get rid of it
hey thanks for sharing. Did you consult any amp tech? Like I mean, if you need to adjust bias you need to look inside it right? How do you/your amp tech say about the interior? Could it be the parts that is failing? I mean, I am trying to find a few last saving grace that can still justify if I'd ever consider any new 6505 heads for me again.
nah 6505s are rather cold so its okay to adjust the bias however you please. most people prefer turning the bias knob all the way up. then there are people that swear that it matters. i havent taken it to a tech. i usually always go through peavey USA though for servicing. they repair my amps for free which is very generous of them. and they get it done ASAP. theres nothing really wrong with the amp. it just doesnt have that Peavey 6505 bite. that bass feeling in your chest. it sounds a lot thinner than it used to. i love my 6534+ though. it had to be repaired because of a bad screen grid resistor but its been solid ever since the repair.
in my honest opinion. it still has that peavey tone. just not the bite. and its only my amp out of the thousands that are out there that were made in china. if i had the chance again id still buy another. especially with Zzounds pay as you play plan. theyll send the amp after the first pay installment and bill you every month for however long you choose.
Atrox Terra I'm by no mean an amp hardware geek/expert. But when you say it lost the extending lows I think I can say the factory shift does indeed cut on internal parts. (Usually worse off transformers cut off extreme highs and lows compared to good ones, or if its within 2 years then it might be other parts failing.)Alright. That much is enough for me to say I need to move on from thinking about a 6505 over years. Thanks for sharing all these.
o.k. they parted ways with Eddie van Halen, but they should have mentioned him...because his 5150 was the starting point
can I get a peavey amp in Latvia?
We can all thank Eddie Van Halen and the designer, James Brown, for these amps. I personally won’t have one unless it’s an earlier model with Eddie’s name on it and the 5150 or 5150 II on it. All the ones with Eddie’s name on them are made in the USA. The ones made in china aren’t built like tanks like the USA ones.
Gay
How about Peavey made in China? How about Quality
China, the land of cheap steel, recycled plastic and low quality circuit boards, not worth the cardboard boxes they are shipped in now.
I don't care what people say Peavey is a good brand. China or USA made I own both.
My peavey is done right, just like how momma use to make
Like it... But.... PLEXI ALL THE WAY!!
"Nothing puts it out there like a Peavey Amplifier. Metal never dies." Sadly these amplifiers die all the time, I abandoned this brand after two brand new 6505s died on me in one year (over 2 decades with Mesa, never a problem). If you're going to ship your production overseas, at least buy the package from the plant that has reasonable tolerances. What, you couldn't afford it sitting on your mountain of patents and IP?
I watched him make the parts, Uncle Eddie ,will let you come watch him make them. so say what you like. unless your there watching ,you don't have a clue😁
I like me older marshalls
666 likes 🤘
No longer made in USA. I wonder what all these employees do for a living now.
Probably selling Peavey parts on Craigslist to buy cat food. I am sure their unemployment ran out years ago.
What I like is that they hire actual Americans.
This video must be old because they are Chinese-made today. Now they are made in an Asian Sweatshop.
Are all Peavey amps Chinese now?
Not better than diezel..not by a long shot
XDDD this video is a little fake because actually all or i think that a lot of heads and amps are made in China but the quality is very good too and keep sounding like old SchooL with great punch and tone!!!
What means.. Designed and engineering in USA but made in China?
i did a little preamp tune up a mix of cc tubes and electroharmonic for the first stage my 6505+its unrivaled against any stock
1 peavey MADE IN USA
2. monster tone
3 can fall from the bus while running and still play
4ohhh midrange
5 looks sexy as hell
666 my only choice
Skip that dumb block of wood and let them tubes breath guys. Amp looks way cooler.
Great products , terrible company. Anybody else watch undercover boss?
Made in China 🇨🇳
And now... made in China.
Jaime Noro Made in USA models include 6505 212 Combo, 6534+ Head, 6505 Head, 6505+ Head, 6505 Slant 412, 6505 Straight 412, Nashville 112 Combo, Classic 30/112 Tube Combo, Delta Blues 115 Tube Combo. all of these products are currently built in Mississippi, not China.
Ben Middleton wrong brother, sorry. all that you listed is now made in china. i have one of the last 6505+ made in usa. bought it about 4 years ago. go to their website and look at the high resolution pics. read the back: MADE IN CHINA. it sucks i know.
It does suck. I bought my 6505+ head brand new in 2015.
AndyTolly123 You could buy a used 6505+ made in America. It’s worth it
Not mine USA made 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Looks like they fired up an abandoned factory just to make a video lol. I've never seen so much emptiness in a factory before. Of course they are made in China now, so I definitely wouldn't buy one. I would also have to say due to China making them, they should sell for around $150 new.That's all they are worth now.
It's the same materials and the same circuit dumbass. What does it matter if it's assembled in China or the US
@@jeremydukes4228 Wrong, it's pot metal materials, made with slave labor and shitty quality control.
Made in China and Vietnam.
They show Americans making these amps. Why does my 6505+ say "made in China" on it? Obviously, this was before they moved production over there. I'm sure these craftsman must have been laid off as a result. Disgusting.
SMT is a no no for a tube amp. Even PCB is not desirable over 60W.
PCB mounted valves (tubes for you Yanks) JUST PLAIN STUPID
5150 > 6505 any day.
Sanpera footswitch is garbage. Bleikr Sound Studio contacted Peavey for replacement parts - they could care less.
