Comment from : Joshua Johnson

The combo? Really? I figured you’d recommend something that can go into a cab, but if this works, or works
Comment from : This Guy

You know you’re a giging musician, when your amp head costs as much as your car
Comment from : John Doe

What about a 6505 2x12 combo If I can get one for a good price ?
Comment from : Michal Wawrzenczyk

happy with my dsl40cr
Comment from : William Winn

Mmm greatest bargain amp ever would have to go to the Peavey Windsor Even though those have also increased by $100 or so
Comment from : MKRocker94

3 years ago i bought a bugera 6260 120w head for $200 Sounded awesome and worked great No need to spend $1000+ for essentially the same amp unless you just plain want that specific amp
Comment from : tr

yeah but don't skimp on the cab
Comment from : Nick Arcollaᴴᴰ

I got an original block letter last year from guitar center for $400 They said it wasn’t working, but the bozo who owned it before tried to mod it himself and ended up wrecking the speaker out jack Two hours of work and a little deoxit in the pots, she’s like brand new again

I bought my Block Letter back in high school and still have it Glad I never sold it 😅
Comment from : Big Mike

I had both the 6505 combo and amp with 4x12 a few years ago They are the best amps I've ever owned and bands like Immortal, Emperor that I love used them
Comment from : Man Of Steal

amazing amps
Comment from : Evan Paul Smith Falcon Fogolin

I bought this combo just before the pandemic as my first tube amp, I needed a 6505+ after using my friend's golden 6505+ 120 head I'm currently selling it to buy that head from him hahaha
Comment from : GATINHO

I nabbed a bandit 112 and a 6505 2x12, sounds fantastic, check guitar center for good prices on stuff, they cover a lot of the insane shipping costs 95 pound amp was like 30 bucks shipping Poor ups guy XD
Comment from : Morgie

Probably shouldn't admit that i upgraded the speaker in mine to a v30 seeing as how you seem to be sick to death of them 🤣🤣🤣

All these videos do is jack up prices
Comment from : Conor Dyer

Made in China though
Comment from : LMerchant01

Man I remember when you could get an original black letter 5150 for under a grand My old metal band went through so many of those damned things on the road, we may be responsible for their increase in price due to limiting the supply brHe’s absolutely 100 correct though After a while we switched to running combos so as to get a better mix because the clubs we were playing in were just not really good at capturing the total sonic quality that we wanted live brThose 6505 combos are some serious pieces of equipment, and they will bring down the house just as well as any $2,000 plus amplifierbrThey are also surprisingly versatile if you know how to dial them in
Comment from : Spencer

I have a block letter that quit 5 years ago and I need to fix it Had no clue it was worth so much I paid 450 at my local pawnshop in 2012
Comment from : Sprinkle_Some_Crack_On_Em

Comment from : Matt In The Box

? 5150 Iconic 1x12 for $899 all day on Sweetwater
Comment from : Mark Johnson

I never understood the "block letter" thing The ONLY difference between it and the later models was the brand of tubes used After 30 years those tubes are long gone so you're paying a premium for nothing
Comment from : Craig

Mod that combo into a head and its a 60 watt evh 5159 iii
Comment from : Casey Wilson

Also the 5150 iconic is my hands down favorite +50w head for under 1k
Comment from : Crowley Patrick

Best score I got in my 16 years of playing was last summer some dude about a half hr away sold me his all original ‘85 2203 for $1k
Comment from : Crowley Patrick

I bought a 6505+ combo for £200 in the UK I am never letting it go
Comment from : Daiganzen

Buying one tomorow
Comment from : philip goldsworthy

All this is true What he didn't mention is the 60 watt single 12 combo is made in China As far as I know the circuitry is the same, however some of the components are now Chinese parts I have a Block Letter full stack I bought new A friend brought over his 12" combo and we hooked it up to one of the 4-12 cabs and played them side by side (Note: a full sized head can be dropped to 60 watts by pulling the 2 outside power tubes It was designed that way so Peavey only had to make one amp, brilliant) Not the same sound as the original, close but not quite it loses some bottom punch Still great sound but but that's why US built 5150 and 6505 are more expensive Remember part of the brown sound is the 4-12 speaker cab with the US original speakers I've tried Mesa and Marshal cabs with my head they sound good but lack the powerful bottom end and thump That was the problem with the US built 2-12 combo it lacked the 4-12 cab punch I know some players with the US twin and set it on a US 4-12 cab, bingo kicking ass brTech tip: I met the tech that worked with Brown building the prototypes If you up the power tubes to 6550s and get a little hotter preamp tubes you get more gain (don't go too hot it turns to mud, it comes with 5s, I use 7s) and with 4 6550s you get more watts But the stock head is advertised at 120 watts and it comes new around 140 That's why everyone says " Damn, this is loud Peavey didnt want to disappoint Love your Peavey and it will take care of you🤟😁👍
Comment from : Rock Daddy

I wanted the modern progressive metal sound so I got the 6505+ Never had a day of regret
Comment from : wout kil

band mate has one of those converted to a head Doesn‘t sound that impressive brbrOn the other hand my favorite Kemper profile für heavy music is a 60w 6505 head 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Comment from : Russel W

Got a peavy vipr amp with a 4x8 cab, 120W, it's is a fuckin monster of an amp And it sounds fucking amazing for live showsbrbrPeavy in general is goated
Comment from : Andre Caron

I purchased a 6505 212 in 2010 when my son was hospitalized out of state as a means of keeping myself sane I was forced to sell it a year or so after he passed away in 2011 Fast forward to 2022 My father passed in 2020, and left me a 1st Generation Hot Rod Deville 212 I sold it to my brother, to keep it in the family, and I went amp shopping I stopped at a local guitar shop like 5 minutes away from my house, and low and behold… 2010 6505 212 in the corner Even better? I still had the serial number written down from my first purchase It was my old amp Now it sits proudly and as quiet as I can make it because it still rattles windows on 1
Comment from : tdmotorsport

Love you videos glen! I have a 6505 combo at my college and the clean channel leaves a lot to be desired (with stock speaker) the gain channels gnarly as hell!
Comment from : Leroy Rockwell

I just picked up a 6505+ for $700 So stoked It’s my favorite amp and definitely my best
Comment from : Alex Mort

I really hate the gear economy There's no reason these heads should be so expensive
Comment from : yourmomonline

Because these Van Halen stans running around don’t actually care about the sound, but instead the name on it And I will never understand it Halen didn’t really invent much, he just went fast Not saying he’s a bad musician, he’s just not as good as everyone wants to say I respect him for bringing one of the guys to make shred popular but I’d rather listen to Steve Vai or Joe Satriani or Dimebag or something But hey, that’s just me and my opinion, so who really cares?
Comment from : TheUncommonOpinion

Lol 5150 is nothing Try buying a Krankenstein
Comment from : TheUncommonOpinion

I could be wrong, but it's a different amp with the same name It's 60w so headroom will be different It will also have more mids, thus falling away from what made the 5150/6505 special The gain structure may be similar, but that lack of headroom will make it play differently
Comment from : Dixon Rooster

I have the 6505+ 112 combo I converted it to a separate head and a cab The tubes on mine are dead tho
Comment from : Sl1mf1t

Boss katana 380 for 100 watts
Comment from : Mr Dumbass

I have this combo but I gotta disagree This sounds nothing like 5150 Do not waste your money
Comment from : Megadeth-1a 88

I love mine I do need to swap the speaker, though It sounds great at low volume, but it washes out when you crank it I plug into a 4x12 and get good volume and sound from that, but I can still hear the stock speaker Don't mic it up
Comment from : Flood Watcher

$200 Boss Katana Lead preset You are welcome
Comment from : shadow105720

I’m super lucky to have gotten my 6505 for $250 a few years ago Definitely was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made
Comment from : Skyler Rizzi

5150? srsly? That's the code for being declared a danger to yourself and others and kept in an acute psych hospital in California
Comment from : NiehlsBohr

My first amp Was that peavy 6505+ combo I sold it time ago now I want one It's that good
Comment from : Lester Falcon

Spark 40 lol
Comment from : Alexander Cruisey

Gear in general has gotten to levels that are pretty ridiculous The 5150 III isn't usually quite as much but I guess the earlier ones have some qualities that people are looking for Not like a Soldano or even a Plexi is very cheap either Its a bummer
Comment from : GuyNarnarian

Yeah, buy Mooer Micro preamp (Brown Note) and plug it to your amp’s FX return
Comment from : sharkeynoyz

I've got a Bugera 6262 that rips and it was only $300
Comment from : Mikhail Mendizabal

I got one out of a shop for $550 in upper Michigan Slapped a 10 band EQ and It is amazing I will never be getting rid of it
Comment from : Nathan Corrao

Prices will go up now
Comment from : ET styles

60 Watts waste a time
Comment from : David Fox

Yeah, but me having a original 5150 Block letter and testing other 6505s can say they sound different br5150 sounds clearer
Comment from : Jorge Velez

Well the 6505 combo amps just went up in price lol
Comment from : RC

What about a Joyo Zombie?
Comment from : Christopher Hallett

Doubt you can find many 6505 combos for $300
Comment from : beammeupscotty

El mejor es 5150 … Ya vi como desapareció los pedaleras … el fractal y próximamente veré cómo cae el Neural y él seguirá ahí …
Comment from : Picus Studio

Or just get the MXR EVH 5150 overdrrrive pedal
Comment from : NoPlanPainting

I got a used 6505+ 112 combo from our local guitar center in August 2020 for $45999 plus tax I LOVE the amp half of it It already had been upgraded to a V30 8 ohm but the amp was set to 16 ohms Even when switching to the correct impedance, the cabinet part still sounded like poop Instead I output to a 1960 "FrankenStack" with 7 different types of speakers loaded and all with dual mics in phase and always connected via snake to my control (bed)room where I keep my amps It still has 2 stock T75's in the bottom but at least one of them is gone as soon as I decide on the final replacement speaker Any thoughts?brbrIt's currently got: Greenback, EVH, DV-77, SwampThang, Creamback 65, V30 (from 2016), T75 and another T75 Looking for something that would complement those but not sound like what I've already got
Comment from : lespaul2550

Peavey sucks anyway Engl all the way
Comment from : Insert any name you want

I WISH I could find a 6505 combo for that price in my area
Comment from : Rob Carrillo

That's a steal, I thought I got a good deal when I got a Club 40 for $400 or $550 after swapping the Seventy 80 for a cream back
Comment from : A green R

Well the 6505 is 1300 euros where I live, so pretty much boohoo for me
Comment from : Kornuit Hildr

I had a 5150 II and sold it Major regrets
Comment from : Obsequie

Comment from : Suicide Potato

These are unobtanium in my area I recently saw a 6505 combo on marketplace for near $1k usd

I got a tone king 2 Love it But I really want a 6505
Comment from : Master Langley

I got 6505 2x12 combo for 245 bucks back in 2014 The prices the 5150 version are going for are insane lol
Comment from : norriszappa25

Honestly if I had to gig again, something 60 watts with a 12 inch speaker is perfect That's more than loud enough for small venues (a good 30 watt seems big enough for some small places) and big places will usually have a sound guy with a PA so your amp will be miced
Comment from : Clan Waddell

I just picked up a second-hand Marshall Mode 4 hybrid amp It’s tube preamp, solid-state power amp They’ve retailed for around $700-1000 recently and the only one available on reverb is currently up for $1500, and I snagged mine for $500 If you can get a Mode 4, get it because they work great a low volumes, have a wide variety of sounds, and pair well with any speaker
Comment from : Metal In Your Head

You should check out the Kartakou COLOSSUS pre-amp brIts based on a 5150 and a switch to make it a 6505 It sounds amazing
Comment from : Marijn Moritz

Yeah the used market online in crazy, I saw someone selling a damaged BC Rich Warlock for almost $500 when brand new they’re about $300 People are too sentimental with their used gear
Comment from : Dragon 519

I got the combo and modded it to a 65w head Great information
Comment from : perth palmer

I'd be curious to hear your take / review of the 6505 module for the Synergy system? As if you're already in that system, that's also a killer price for that amp!!
Comment from : Benson Russell

aaaaand with this video, the 6505 combo now became super expensive :P

Well that pricing just went north!
Comment from : Russ Thompson

Buy the combo , make a head with it And take the speaker and put in it a cheaper combos for upgrades et voilà ❤
Comment from : Nicolas Beaudry

I found a 6505+ head at a local pawn shop for $300 I've got a feeling it was stolen because the metal plate behind the grille is missing, and so is the plate with the serial number For all I know could be a 5150 but it was listed as a 6505 Best deal I ever found
Comment from : crad

I sold the one I hadit was a the same 60 watt combo and probably one of the dumbest things I have ever done and in buying and selling gear ⚙️ I made a lot of dumb decisionsPump it through a 4x12 cab and ya in Business People bitch about the clean channel, who needs it? Also the Reverb is dry they say? You dumb Douches don't even get any Reverb with The 5150 HEAD! It , is a beast of a head though😅
Comment from : Shaun Criss C

Had bought the 6505+ combo a couple months back because of your video, loved the amp but I felt like it was lacking a bit Within the last week I got a celestion v30 and man this thing is awesome now Great advise and solid videos man rock on!
