To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their iconic high-gain amp head, Peavey unveils the 6505 1992 Original. Armed with five 12AX7 preamp tubes, a 6L6GC-fueled power section, and a custom-built output transformer, this 120-watt fire-breather is a spot-on re-creation of the early-'90s classic. This footswitchable 2-channel tube head includes everything you need to cultivate its notorious tone, including a shared 3-band EQ, Presence and Resonance controls, and per-channel Pre-Gain and Post-Gain controls. Beyond that, the Rhythm channel flaunts Bright and Crunch switches, enabling you to shift from spanking cleans to Burn My Eyes-style high-gain without missing a beat. A Preamp Out jack and an effects loop round out the 6505 1992 Original's arena-ready features. If you've been chasing the unmistakable high-gain overdrive used by rock, hardcore, and metal guitarists for the past three decades, the Peavey 6505 1992 Original serves it to you on a multiplatinum platter.

120 watts of stadium-filling brutality

The 6505 1992 Original delivers a range of sounds that harken back to Peavey's original high-gain heavyweight (the one named after the code for California's involuntary psychiatric hold). This guitar amplifier head's preamp section is loaded with five 12AX7 tubes, while its 120-watt power section contains four 6L6GC tubes. The secret to the 6505 1992 Original's period-correct tonality, however, is its custom-designed output transformer. After countless hours of A/B comparisons, conversations with users and artists, and deep dives into the amplifier at a component level, Peavey engineers formulated the perfect design; one that's able to accurately re-create the magical, crushing sound that, to quote Guitar Player magazine, "defined a generation of guitar tone."

Take command of the raging beast

The Peavey 6505 1992 Original offers more than mere brute strength. In fact, it's jam-packed with tantalizing tones. To begin with, you get footswitchable Lead and Rhythm channels. The channels feature a shared 3-band EQ for basic sonic sculpting. The amplifier's power section contains Resonance and Presence controls. You also get per-channel Pre-Gain and Post-Gain knobs that give rise to near-infinite gain staging. The guitarists here really appreciate the 6505 1992 Original's Crunch switch; it takes the amplifier's Rhythm channel from crystalline cleans to throaty grind. The Rhythm channel also includes a Bright switch for added sonic versatility.

Tons of arena-worthy features

Incorporating the 6505 1992 Original into your stage or studio guitar rig is easy, thanks to its many pro-friendly features. A Preamp Out jack makes slaving to a second amplifier a piece of cake; crafting a wet/dry setup has never been easier. This jack is also great for connecting to a power amp/cabinet emulator, for mic-free recording or for piping your tone straight to front of house. The 6505 1992 Original boasts a top-quality effects loop for easy integration with your stompboxes and other external processors. A 2-button footswitch is included for Lead/Rhythm channel and effects loop switching. To top it off, the 6505 1992 Original works with 16-, 8-, and 4-ohm speakers.
