Compact size, massive tone

Featuring an all-tube preamp and power amp, the 6505 MH tube guitar amp authentically produces the much-loved tones of the legendary Peavey 6505 1992 Original in a small, portable package. In fact, the 6505 MH tube amp has two channels that follow the same gain structure and voicing of its big brother! The two channels share a 3-band EQ, lush reverb, and an effects loop. The included footswitch controls channel switching, crunch, effects loop, and reverb giving you total control over your sound. Additionally, with a built-in resistive load, the 6505 MH can be played while disconnected from a speaker cabinet – the perfect feature for silent recording.

With the compact 6505 MH behind you, unleash your signature sound at home, in the studio, or on stage.

The sound of modern metal

The 6505 Series is well known for its distinctive tones and genre-defining sound.

There are no metal amps more important to today’s sound than the ones found in the 6505 Series. If you’re in a heavy metal band today, or considering forming one in the near future, the 6505 Series tube amps are a foundational piece to craft your signature sound.
