Peavey 6505 1992 Original 120W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black

The Peavey 6505 1992 Original amp head reissue marks the 30th anniversary of one of the best and most imitated amps of all time. While the recipe has remained virtually unchanged since the amp’s inception, changes in manufacturing processes and ownership in component suppliers ultimately resulted in tonal inconsistencies. This included the output transformer—one of the most important parts of the amp—which caused the midrange to vary from unit to unit. That led Peavet to develop a top-secret output transformer, made in an undisclosed location to mimic the magical crushing tone of the original series. This reissue is true to form cosmetically and sonically, going as far as returning to the plexiglass on the front of the 6505 II.
