Peavey 6505 II 4x12 Slant Cabinet Standard

Peavey proudly launched this reissued 6505 II to mark the 30th anniversary of one of the best and most imitated amps of all time. Contrary to much folklore since the amplifier’s inception, the recipe has remained virtually unchanged. However, over the course of time, component suppliers have experienced changes of ownership and changes to their manufacturing processes, which can ultimately influence tone and unit-to-unit consistency. After a great deal of A/B comparisons, conversations with scores of users and artists and deep dives into the amplifier at a component level, the purists at Peavey decided to search for a solution to the midrange that varied from amp to amp. That led them to develop a top-secret output transformer, made in an undisclosed location to mimic the magical crushing tone of the original series. These reissues are true to form cosmetically and sonically, going as far as returning to the plexiglass on the front of the 6505 II.
