Members Charvel1975 Posted February 24, 2011 Members Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hey guys I might be getting a Peavey 6505+ head, I've never owned one before and wanted some suggestions on speakers, cabs, etc. that sound best with this head? Right now the cabs I have are a stock Randall 320 watt g3 4x12 with the 4 Celestion Seventy80 speakers, a stock Marshall 1960A 4x12 and the oversized cab of my Mesa Tremoverb 2x12 combo that was made closed back with stock Celestion Vintage 30's, the tremoverb was converted to a head. My friend has a 6505+ and he's got a stock Marshall 1960B cab he's using along with my Marshall cab, he let me borrow his non-ported Genz-Benz GFlex 4x12 but we're getting ready to swap back, and I think it sounds killer with the Marshall cabs, he's in a metal band as I am too in Drop B. Just looking for some input as I've never owned a 6505+, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~Abstract~ Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 1960a is a good start...b would be better.The Genzbenz should do well too. Oversized Mesa 412 with V30's is the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zehn Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 Just use that tverb cab you have, but watch the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BryanFTWL Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oversized Mesa 412 with V30's Correct answer.The 6505+ blends extremely well with that cab and sounds huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaceU4her Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 i would get a 1960. 5150s are mid heavy enough, the speakers balance them out a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BryanFTWL Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 i would get a 1960. 5150s are mid heavy enough, the speakers balance them out a little V30s with the mids in the 11 o'clock-noon range is perfect for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Turner Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've always had the best luck with a Vintage 30 loaded 4x12 or a 4x12 with Vintage 30's and G12T-75's in an X pattern with those amps. They seem to love Vintage 30's in big cabinets, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soilent Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've got mine into a 1960A. No complaints here. But then again I haven't tried it with anything else yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keebz Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 I can loaded with G12T-75's sounds awesome with that amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
