Being a small critter, It can be hard to haul around larger equipment. I use to constantly haul around a Marshall Head that was heavier than my gaming PC . It was starting to become a pain, and there weren't many alternatives at the time. I soon discovered my first lunchbox size amp at NAMM 2014, and I was baffled at how great these mini heads sounded. From that point on, I knew that it was time for me to get one. Goodbye marshall. I begin to watch many youtube videos due to me being in denial to whether they would play to my standards ( studio production, gigging, practicing, etc.) and come to find out they could do that then more. I was actually planning on getting the mini-6505 head, but saving up $499 would be impossible, considering how much I spend on a bi weekly basis. Then after a few months of digging around. I came across the peavy 6505 piranah. I decided to buy the amp because it was similar to the next best alternative, but also among the 6505 line of peavy amps, which was a plus. The alternative, Blackstar-HT amp, was selling for around $260. They both only had 3 knobs. Gain, EQ, and volume. that was all I really needed. So when I decided to plug her up, I was very impressed by the clean channel, hell I was a changed person after using the clean channel. I'm usually one of those high gain only guitarist that refuse to use a clean tone in any way or form. In fact I use the clean channel much more than I use the lead. Now time for the actual product review. The tube is pretty decent, I love the overall tone. The EQ ranges from Notch (very little mids) to full (a more fuller sound) and the gain should never really go to max. You'll be getting a decent amount of gain on the Lead channel at around 7 or 8 o'clock. you can most definitely drive this thing through an external cab, heck you could even drive it through your mixer if you wanted. I was pretty upset thought that there was no usb port on the head though. it also has an headphone jack that gives out a pretty nice sound, but I'd rather use the outputs in the back of the amp. Perfect portable solution for the price!Read full review

Got this amp broken, the power tubes are shot and as such the whole power amp section does not work properly. When I use the speaker simulator, the sound is thin and fuzzy. I have to slave it to another amp to get any sort of decent sound. I have contacted the seller about getting it fixed and so far this has gone no where.

I had an original 5150 full stack. Great if you needed distortion all the time. With the 6505+ you get the added EQ whereas the original 5150/6505 had just the one for both. This resulted in muddy clean tones with your EQ set for your distorted tone. The 6505+ is everything the original needed to be, plus you get footswitch able “Crunch” on the first channel, and biasing jacks on the back so you don’t have to take the amp out of the chassis to bias your amp after putting in new power tubes.

Built like a battle tank, looks amazing and of course, sounds huge! This head is with out a doubt the best tube amp you can get without breaking the bank. And compared to some of the most expensive heads out their, it holds it's own and in many cases out shines its multi thousand dollar competitors...the 6505 is timeless and will always maintain its spots as one of the greatest amplifiers ever created.

i bought this head about 3 weeks ago and I also bought a 412 Marshall speaker cabinet. I have been playing guitar on and off for 26 or 27 years now and have played thru just about every name brand of modeling amp and tube amp but this has got to b in my top 5 maybe even top 3 favorites so far. Me personally I think it even sounds better than my friends 5150 head & cabinet!!! It may be only 20 watts but don't let that fool you this thing gets very loud and has a very good tone from everything from metal to classic rock to country this head will do it all!!! It has allmost everything the full size 6505 head has but it's much lighter weight and is smaller. I have this head and a Marshall mini head both sitting on top of my speakers so I can plug the speaker cable into which ever 1 i'm in the mood to play that day but since i've bought the 6505 I really haven't played the Marshall that much. I researched some different heads and went on youtube and listened to different heads before I bought this 1. I actually heard my friends 120 watt 6505 plus head and it wasn't far off from what it sounded like on youtube of course I have a nice surround sound system hooked to my tv & computer so I got pretty close to the real sound of the amp like that but usually I wouldn't just buy something like this or a guitar without playing it first. I am very pleased with this head and the price is not bad either. I would recommend this to anybody who wants an awesome sounding amp that you can use as a practice amp or play out with and record with also with tons & tons of tone this has to be one of the best amps from Peavey yet!!!!Read full review
