Tried out a Peavey 6505. Loved it!!

1x12. I think I finally found an amp that I could enjoy for a very long time.

I've never cared about an amp's "clean" channel. I figure what's the point of having a super-clean channel when I'm just gonna try to dirty it up anyway.

Loved that overdrive sound. Nice price, too. I want the 2x12.

Re: Tried out a Peavey 6505. Loved it!!

I think I want the 1x12 for home use. I love my 6505+ amp head and would love to recreate that sound at low volumes at home.

Peavey's just had it right all along!

I had a go with the new Budda amps now built by Peavey, and I thought that they sounded much better than pre-Peavey Buddas. I used to own an SD-18 combo. Divine amp, but the Peavey version has a much more dense midrange and bottom end, less fizzy top end.

I too love my 6505+ into my Mesa cab. Unfortunately I don't play live at the moment so I'm finding less and less use for it. For recording I can get equally great sounds by running amp sims.

LTD EC1000
Peavey 6505+
Mesa/Boogie Recto 2x12 with V30's
TC Nova System

FOR SALE:
Spools of Canare GS-6 - The most transparent cable I've come across. Click for details.
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Sound Card

Good transactions with Digital Jams, Dimebag11, Greazygeo, ENdtime, Fagmotron 3000, thenakedarab, TheAmazingBlob, ZOMBIELAND, mike59271, LoopQuantum.
