Members MarkCorriganJLB Posted August 29, 2016 Members Share Posted August 29, 2016 I have a friend who is prepared to sell me a 4x12 orange cabinet alongside a peavey 6505+ at a really good price. However, I intend to use this gear for practicing and am concerned that the 120 watt amp head combined with the 4x12 won't work for playing at home. I have heard that the 6505+ will be unable to achieve a proper tone at lower volumes. Do you guys think that I could practice my guitar with this rig at home? PS: The walls in my house are extremely thick, the room I intend on playing in is rather large, and my neighbors are also musicians; I'm mainly concerned with achieving a good tone and maintaining my hearing.

Members mrbrown49 Posted August 29, 2016 Members Share Posted August 29, 2016 Way too much horsepower for a practice rig IMO, especially if within earshot of neighbors, musicians or not. And, with that much volume it doesn't matter how thick the walls are. Plenty of sound will travel through the structure of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted August 29, 2016 Members Share Posted August 29, 2016 A great practice rig, if you are practicing to wear a hearing aid! Buy it, flip it, and get a Peavey bandit with the profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's definitely overkill for a home practice rig. I'm with the rest of the guys - go with something smaller and lower in power. Your neighbors AND your ears will thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
