6505™

Tube Guitar Amplifier

Congratulations on your purchase of Peavey's 6505 guitar amplifier. 6505 Series amps feature five 12AX7 preamp tubes and

four 6L6GC power amp tubes, with presence and resonance controls and three-band EQ for taming their notorious tone. These

features, combined with its classic ultra-high gain preamp capabilities and monstrous 120 W power section result in an amp

with awesome stage presence and enough volume for any gig. For maximum flexibility, a footswitchable effects loop, preamp

output and bright/crunch voicing switches (rhythm channel) have also been included. Because of its singular design and

distinguished tone, the 6505 is in a category all its own.

FEATURES:

• 120 watts RMS into 16, 8, or 4 ohms (switchable)

• Five 12AX7 preamp tubes & four 6L6GC power amp tubes

• High & low gain inputs

• Two-channel preamp switchable on front panel or footswitch

• Rhythm channel: pre-/post-gain, bright & crunch switches

• Lead channel: pre-/post-gain

• Channels share three-band EQ

• Presence & resonance controls

• Switchable post-EQ effects loop

• Preamp output

• Footswitch included

ENGLISH

Inputs (1, 2)

The 6505 input block features HIGH [1] and NORMAL [2] GAIN inputs. The HIGH GAIN input has twice

the gain of the NORMAL gain input and should be used when maximum overdrive is desired. When both

inputs are used simultaneously, the 6505 automatically switches to the normal gain mode (6 dB pad).

Situations where both inputs are used simultaneously (alternating between two guitars on stage using

both inputs, etc.) should be avoided if peak overdrive is expected from the amp. Experimentation with

your particular guitar/pickup into each input will determine which input is best for your sound.

Channel Select Switch (3)

This allows selection of the RHYTHM or LEAD channel. Depressing the switch to the “in” position

activates the LEAD channel. The red LED light will illuminate to indicate that the LEAD channel is active.

In the “out” position the RHYTHM channel is activated and the green LED illuminates. Channels may be

remotely selected using the 6505 footswitch. If remote selection is desired, the channel select switch

must be set to the “in” position (LEAD channel).

Rhythm Pre & Post Gain (4, 11)

The RHYTHM channel PRE [4] and POST GAIN [11] operate in the same manner as the LEAD channel

gain controls. For most applications, the RHYTHM channel should be set up with the PRE GAIN at the

lower, “cleaner” settings (0-4) and the POST GAIN set for overall volume. The RHYTHM channel can be

converted to a second channel by activating the CRUNCH SWITCH [6].

Bright Switch (5)

Activates a preset boost in the treble frequencies (6 dB at 2 kHz) and affects only the rhythm channel.

Crunch Select Switch (6)

Boosts the gain of the rhythm channel to create a second “lead” channel. Depress to the “in” position

to activate.

Lead Pre & Post Gain (7, 12)

The LEAD CHANNEL PRE GAIN [7] controls the input level and works with the LEAD CHANNEL POST

GAIN [12] to determine the overall volume/overdrive of the LEAD Channel. Lower settings of the PRE

GAIN control produce a relatively clean, undistorted sound while the middle to high settings produce

harmonically rich distortion and screaming overdrive/sustain. Since both PRE and POST GAIN controls

work in “combo,” a basic rule-of-thumb setup procedure is to begin with both controls in the lower

settings (0-2). Using the PRE GAIN control, dial in the amount of overdrive/sustain you want for the

LEAD channel. Then, with the POST GAIN control adjust for overall volume.

Equalization (8, 9, 10)

The 6505 equalization block features passive LOW, MID and HIGH EQ that is custom tailored to the

6505 sound.

Resonance & Presence (13, 14)

Unique to the 6505, the RESONANCE [13] control can be set to boost the gain of the power amp in

the low frequencies at the resonance/attenuation point of the speaker cabinet. In simple terms,

the RESONANCE control works like a low EQ to offset low-end frequency drop-out. The PRESENCE

[14] control works in the same manner, boosting the high frequencies. Experimentation using your

particular speaker cabinet along with personal taste will determine your setting for these important

controls.

Standby Switch (15)

This switch allows the 6505 to be placed in a non-operational standby mode. When the standby switch

is activated the tubes remain hot and ready for instantaneous operation, eliminating warm-up time.

The STANDBY LED indicator light will illuminate when the amp is in the operational mode.

Power Switch (16)

This switch supplies power to the unit. Depressed to the “on” position, the POWER LED indicator light

will illuminate indicating power is being supplied to the unit.

Fuse (17)

A 5 amp fuse is located within the cap of the fuseholder. It must be replaced with the same type and

value in order to avoid damage to the equipment and to prevent voiding the warranty. If the amp

repeatedly blows fuses, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

WARNING: The fuse should only be replaced when the power cord has been disconnected from

its power source.

Line Cord (120 V units only) (18)

For your safety, we have incorporated a three-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities.

It is not advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the 6505

without proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adapters should be used. Greatly reduced shock

hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles.

Ground Switch (19)

This three position, rocker-type switch should be operated in the center (zero) position for most

applications. If hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure(s) with the ground switch in

the center position, place the ground switch to positive or negative (+ or -) to minimize hum. Should a

hum/noise problem continue, consult your authorized Peavey Dealer, the Peavey factory or a qualified

service technician.

NOTE: The ground switch is not functional on 220/240 volt models.

Effects Send/Effects Return (20, 21)

Signals are supplied to outboard effects or signal processing units by patching from the EFFECTS SEND

[20] output into the outboard unit(s) and back into the EFFECTS RETURN [21] input using shielded cable

with 1/4" phono jacks. Only non-gain effects devices (chorus, reverb, delay, etc.) should be used in

the effects loop. Remote (on/off) selection of outboard effects devices can be achieved using the 6505

footswitch.

Preamp Out (22)

This output can be used to send a preamped signal from the 6505 to a mixing console, etc., using

shielded cable. Patching from the PREAMP OUT does not affect the normal operation of the amplifier.

Speaker Outputs (24)

Paralleled 1/4" output jacks for connecting speaker enclosure(s) to the amplifier (minimum: 4 ohms).

When using more than one enclosure, be sure to calculate the total impedance and set the Impedance

Switch [25] accordingly. (See section on IMPEDANCE SWITCH).

IMPORTANT: Use only high quality, UNshielded cable for speaker connections.

Impedance Selector Switch (25)

Use to select the appropriate impedance of the speaker enclosure(s). If two enclosures of equal

impedance are used, the switch should be set at one half of that value (e.g., for two 16 ohm enclosures,

set switch to 8 ohms; for two 8 ohm enclosures, set switch to 4 ohms).

When connecting the amplifier to the speaker enclosure, make sure to set the impedance selector

switch on the rear of the unit to the impedance that matches your enclosure. When two enclosures

of equal impedance are used, set the switch to one half the impedance of one enclosure (see [25]

Impedance Selector Switch). The 6505 is designed to operate into a minimum of 4 ohms.
