Peavey's 6505 II marks the 30th anniversary of one of metal's most iconic guitar amplifiers. 

Armed with six 12AX7 preamp tubes, a 6L6GC-fueled power section, and a custom-built output transformer, this 120-watt behemoth is true to form, both cosmetically and sonically, to the original 6505 — right down to the plexiglass on its front. 

This footswitchable 2-channel tube head includes a 3-band EQ, plus Resonance and Presence knobs, on each channel. You also get per-channel Pre gain and Post gain controls. What's more, a footswitchable Crunch boost and Bright switch on the Rhythm channel propel you from spanking cleans to a full-blown pyroclastic surge without missing a beat. A Preamp Out jack and an effects loop round out the 6505 II's arena-ready features. If you want to harness the sound of modern metal, the 6505 II is the latest iteration of the amp that originally defined it. Now available at Lyric.
