God is so hard to decide on an amp when so many of them sound SO GOOD. I guess that's why in the end people just start collecting amps. They all have their own "thing".
Totally agree. The one amp that sticks out in my experience as being able to do everything from crunch to rock to hard rock to metal to death horror doom metal is the Randall Diavlo. Most companies are doing these 20/5/1 watt series is so that we can all collect instead of blowing our life savings on 1 amp.
Yea i have this amp and ive went through 3 other amps (modeling amps) peavey vyper 75, line 6 spider 2, positive grid spark 40, and i just wasnt happy with my metal tone or my chugs i should say. So i said screw it im getting a high gain tube amp. This amp the peavey 6505 mh seemed like a good place to start. I got the head and the matching 1/12 cab for 500$ then spent a few hundred more on a boss ns2 noise suppressor and a ibanez ts9dx tube screamer, and a peavey footswitch to change the channels off of reverb. Now i love my tone and i dont feel the need to look for another amp. I really like this amp and highly recommend it to anyone who is into high gain stuff. If you are into any style of metal i think you can find a tone youll like out of this head.
@@codysroom6303 I think this will be my next amp. A private seller near my is offering the head and matching 2x12 cab for only $500. After two years of gigging with a Boss Katana 100W head (run direct to PA), I'm tired of using the Boss ToneStudio software to dial in the virtual pedals; the process is tedious at best. I've had the Blackstar HT-20RH MkII, HT Club 40 MkII, Bugera G20 Infinium (never again, Bugera!) and Marshall DSL20RH. I found the Blackstar overdriven tones were voiced too dark, and the Marshall's "clean" tones were too gritty. As someone who plays mostly classic metal and hard rock, I'm thinking the 6505MH will be my Goldilocks amp--not exceptional at any one thing (except maybe portability), but "just right" for most of what I need it to do.
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
The amp sounded surprisingly good when you were arpegiatting chords and using open strings with gain. I like how you were able to cohesively tie all those musical ideas together.
It's so useful to see a video showing what it's capable of. I don't have a real cab and with all the IR options, I found it hard dialing in a tone because I was going back and forth between adjusting the amp and IRs. But videos like this really help show what the amp can sound sound like.
It took me entirely too long to realize you were re amping for each of these videos instead of playing each time. Super smart move and gives you a clear representation of the amp each time. Great demos!
Can you tell me what that means? I have this Peavey I was not entirely happy with the clean tones. And the tones here sound too good to be true. What is re amping?
@@mobeenrehman2379 re amping means he recorded guitar's DI signal, and then run that recording through all the amps he made a similar video about, instead of playing from scratch every time. Saves time, and the demo's are consistent between different amps since its the same take.
Congratulations on the idea of creating this series to compare the amplifiers, I enjoyed all that I've seen so far. A suggestion, which may be the question of several people, would you like to make a video with the mixing and mastering tutorial for the recordings in this series?
I’ve been waiting for someone to finally show the amps versatility. Excellent demonstration. By far the best on YT. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this for us. 👍🤘
@@Joseandresyanes Hi! technically, you can still get clean tones, but they will get easily distorted as soon as you hit the strings a bit harder, so turning the volume down on the guitar would do the trick. But generally, even if you get clean sound out of this amp, it's not going to be like something you would get from a fender tweed for example. In this video I am using 6505mh through a harley benton cab with 2 V30 speakers (speakers will also have a lot to do with the tone) and it's recorded with a room mic, it's ever so slightly overdriven: ruclips.net/video/2eMQGEJ3qrs/видео.html
This is the demo I was searching for. I was considering this as my first traditional/tube amp, and I wanted a clean platform so I could use preamp pedals, but also plenty of gain cause I'm a Van Halen fan. Every other demo avoided clean and lightly overdriven tones like the plague. Thank you very much 🙏
Recently acquired one of these from pawn shop for $175. Hard to get very loud clean tones, but gain up the green channel and you have killer tone. So far I've played it through 1x12 16 ohm. Soon I'll try a 1x12 8 ohm Cannabis Rex.
I use this amp with my band, we play stoner garage blues and it does a way better than expected job, i dont even consider buying something else for now.
Alot of people think you cant get a good clean tone out of it. But as you demonstrate you can. I was in guitar center playing one of these 6505mh. Was doing some clean stuff on it. And the employee there couldnt believe the clean was coming from the 6505mh haha. It has a pretty good clean tone.
I think the rumor might stem from people always using guitars with super hot pickups when playing through these amps. The clean channel definitely sounds great with some more classic sounding guitars.
@@xavierstilions Yep definitely. Shoot I was playing through some hot pickups and sounded pretty good to me. So can imagine some more mellow pickups or some not so metal oriented guitar, the clean would really sound great.
Very nice demo. And holy crap, I haven't seen that shirt in forever. I remember getting one from Hot Topic or Spencer's when I was 15 back in 2006 and wearing it until it was faded and tattered.
This amp is by no means the best thing out there, but seriously for the money it absolutely kicks ass! Its gives some other lunch box’s heads a run for their money that’s for sure. Great videos and tones man, love the work!
@@RicardoRodrigues-ds6mr like I said this amp the money is a great deal. I’ve got the Mesa Mark 5:25 too which I absolutely love, but for nearly 5x the price it’s probably way out of most people’s budget. I don’t own, but I have tried the Engl fireball 25 and that think rocks! Check out the PRS Mt15 as well, the thing has full size power tubes and the clean channel sounds absolutely lush. I do prefer a mini lunch box which has completely independent EQ controls for each channel though, hence why I went for the Mesa. Everyone has their owns tastes though, as much as functionality is a key factor, I think tone is a lot more important so you need to use your ears with that one I’m afraid. Good luck on your quest!
@@RicardoRodrigues-ds6mr I think it's better, but it's two times more money. So i'd say for the prize Peavey 6505 MH is pretty amazing. But if you have 400 euros/dollars more money to spent, then i'd go with Engl Fireball 25.
Man, I HAD this amp, and its matching 2x12 cabinet.....I sold it the other day. But I bought the EVH 5150III LBX stealth head and the EVH 5150III 212ST EL34 2x12 cabinet. Oh man, so good!
choosing a good cab and mic is very important .. then every head sounds good. this is like a camera body and lens situation. the head is the body and the lens is the cab and mic.
very nice demo ! You've been using different cabs and axes so I now have a clear idea of how this little beast sounds and I think I'll get my hands on it very soon :) Thanks !
So many thanks for making such a magnificent Vlog man , you've been always awesome, you demonstrated it as amazing as always, I love Peavey 6505 series to death🤘🔥Keep up the good work man🤘🍻❤
Awesome playing...the MH sounds amazing. I'm sure you used different cabs for the recording since you mentioned you were matching them up due to how comfortable they are with each sound...but what one cab do you think matches up best with the 6505MH for or overall versatility and tone? Thanks.
Why do you do this to me!!! That amp is gorgeous, has the sound and the guts and for people like me as bedroom player is a dream; silent recording, no need to connect a cab (am I right?) and that killer sound. One question if I may ask, how many amps do you have with the option for using without cab? Thanks man, and please be human and bring us a shitty recording just one time!! (just kidding of course!!)
Awesome demo!!! Im gonna get this amp!!! Im learning metal could you tell me what extended chords your using at 4:00 and at other points of the metal section…maybe a few fingure positions…would help so much as these are exact metal progressions i want to learn 😊🙏🍻
What your video serious has taught me is that most amps sound more or less the same through exactly the same load and IR when re amping, but what you can't demonstrate can't be captured very well is the feel of playing it which is what you get with amp in the room.
I am choosing an amplifier for the bedroom. There is nowhere to listen to before buying, based on someone else's opinion. Which is better for a home metalist Peavey 6505 MH or EVH 5150 III LBX-S?
I really like my 6505 mh. And i chased tones for a long time until i found this. Spent alot of $ looking for something that sounded as good as the 6505 mh. Im happy with it. Ive got no experience with the evh stealth 3 or any of the evh stuff but i can speak for the 6505 its pretty brutal to be so small.
Nice riffs and solo as always! Have you tried to play using its the cab simulator? Any thoughts about it? I am looking for a good tube amp that I can use through my audio interface as I can't have a real cab + mic by now. I was considering the Hughes & Kettner you played some days ago, as a lot of people said this 6505 MH souns terrible through cab sim.
There's the revv g20, with built in Two notes torpedo, but you can always just pick whatever amp and get a Two notes torpedo captor There you have the line out which you can pair with an IR in your DAW Usually speaker sims on amps leave a lot to desire and if you do the IR stuff in your DAW, you have a lot of flexibility
I recently tried one of these at a store, and I liked it aside from one thing. I felt it was VERY mid focused. Honky, Nasal, etc. I only really liked it with the Mids knobs all the way down. It seemed the mid-knob was focused in a low-mid area that I didn't like. Anyone else feel this way about the amp? Other than that one thing, I almost bought it that day.
Hmm strange, to me it doesn't sound overly middy. The thing is, in my opinion anyway, that you gotta crank the presence and resonance a bit to get a nice smiley curve. This is the same with my 6505s.
@@SonicDriveStudio I appreciate the reply. I did not try what you suggested. That day I went home with a DSL20hr instead, so I ended up happy. But just wanted to ask that about the 6505mh. Thanks again sir!
Probably a dumb question but when you show that you used an IR, was this done with using the DI from the amp head or did you still mic a cab and use an IR later on? Thanks for the video, it was awesome! I love my 6505MH.
This demo is very near to real sound of 6505mh. Clean and crunch are great, but lead is too fuzzy. After my orange dark terror i can't use lead channel on 6505.
I haven't had that fizzy issue with mine. I have this head and play it more than my 3k Marshall head. Maybe your settings were just wrong or bad speaker match? I don't know.
When the speaker defeat is engaged I read you can't turn off the inbuilt cab sim. Does the FX send still output a signal with speaker defeat on? and presumably the fx send wouldn't have any cab sim on?

This is a great series. How did you get a clean di signal from this 6505MH? I thought the stock cab response was on all outputs?
bone crushing tones for a very reasonable price, the 6505MH absolutely nails it in the high gain arena

Great video! Thank you!
sounds fab mate, definitely gone buy this
Those lead tones are absolutely heavenly omg
Between the EVH III 50 and the 6505MH it's really hard to get a winner - I own them both and they're fantastic yet the 6505MH is cheaper and smaller.
Had no idea it could make clean sounds. 🤭😂🤣
What neck pickup do you have in the Ibanez Prestige? DiMarzio? Very straty sounding! All your tones were great, but that particular one surprised me.

Liked and subbed dude 🤘
6:58 would this kind of be a classic rock tone for the peavey 6505 mh? Been trying to unlock a classic rock tone for this amp.
What your video serious has taught me is that most amps sound more or less the same through exactly the same load and IR when re amping, but what you can't demonstrate can't be captured very well is the feel of playing it which is what you get with amp in the room.
Great Amp !
Great song! I see you're recording direct. Did you cancel the cab output/power amp and use the direct output option, or did you use a load box?
Ok, bought 6505 mh for home usage, sale €400. Paired with precision drive it should sound good? Thank you so much for your tests!
Inspiring, not to technical but just really good playing.
And these can be made to sound even better with some premium tubes. Gold Lions in the power section. Some Russian preamp tubes.
I'm stuck between getting this and the Orange rocker terror 15.
Hi.. Can this lil head handle festivals or huge stage? I never use this with cab but I will direct it with torpedo live or others.

Please tell me which tuning on the telecaster at the beginning of the video?
How are you getting such a clean tone through this head? I own this amp and my clean sounds dirty.
Any OD pedal used with the lead settings? Not sure how you get this fluid tone when using the Lead channel. Its soo hissy and noisy.
Can I plug and play? Or do I need a power amp?
Nice riffs and solo as always!
Have you tried to play using its the cab simulator? Any thoughts about it?

Usually speaker sims on amps leave a lot to desire and if you do the IR stuff in your DAW, you have a lot of flexibility

@@SonicDriveStudio I appreciate the reply. I did not try what you suggested. That day I went home with a DSL20hr instead, so I ended up happy. But just wanted to ask that about the 6505mh. Thanks again sir!
@@KipCount the DSL is rad too! Enjoy!
Do you own an invective?? Would love to see a video with that amp!
I don't.... Would love to have one!
I loved mine it lasted 3 years and then went to shit, got a replacement and it never sounded the same, I'm not the only one with this problem
Does this amp have enought volume with a 2x12 for a gig?
Probably a dumb question but when you show that you used an IR, was this done with using the DI from the amp head or did you still mic a cab and use an IR later on? Thanks for the video, it was awesome! I love my 6505MH.
Also have this question since the DI has a cab sim in it already.. how do you add a IR?
Thanks for the review. Wich mini head is better for metal on your opinion? Talking about 15 to 30 watts for a 2x12 cabin. Thanks
Anyone know what tuning he's using?
I think if I was considering this, I'd just get an EVH 5150 LBX.
This or Orange OR 15?
Make a comparison with the big 6505
I've already done that on the channel but who knows, I might do it again one day
I heard that this amp can’t do clean tones. How did you achieve this?
It does clean
Orange dual dark 50 please🙏
I think the lbx 15watt 5150iii sounded better
This demo is very near to real sound of 6505mh. Clean and crunch are great, but lead is too fuzzy. After my orange dark terror i can't use lead channel on 6505.
I haven't had that fizzy issue with mine. I have this head and play it more than my 3k Marshall head. Maybe your settings were just wrong or bad speaker match? I don't know.
@@warrenmooney9422 maybe! I use orange 1*12 cab with V30. Original cab is less woofy and less bass
@@Alexei-ex8gq I run mine thru a Marshall 4x12 cab in the 1 watt mode usually.
Вот это жир! Жиииииир
So I'd still need a pedal to play metal? That sucks.
No
I don't use a pedal with it to play metal.
When the speaker defeat is engaged I read you can't turn off the inbuilt cab sim. Does the FX send still output a signal with speaker defeat on? and presumably the fx send wouldn't have any cab sim on?
