The 6505 Legacy: The Peavey 6505 series has been the amplifier of choice for metal and hard rock guitarists since its introduction. From Metallica to Trivium, countless artists have relied on the 6505's crushing gain and tight low-end response. The Mini Head captures that legendary tone in a format that's perfect for modern recording and performance needs.

All-Tube Authenticity: Unlike solid-state or modeling amps, the 6505 Mini Head uses real vacuum tubes in both the preamp and power amp sections. This delivers the dynamic response, harmonic complexity, and feel that only true tube amplification can provide. When you dig in, the amp responds; when you back off, it cleans up naturally.

Studio-Ready Recording: The built-in computer interface makes recording simple—connect directly to your DAW and capture authentic tube tone without microphones or additional gear. Perfect for home recording, the 20-watt power section lets you push the tubes into sweet saturation at volumes that won't disturb neighbors or damage hearing.

Versatile Tone Shaping: The dual-channel design provides clean to crunch tones on channel one and massive high-gain on channel two. The comprehensive EQ section includes bass, mid, and treble controls plus presence and resonance for precise tone sculpting. Whether you're dialing in tight modern metal or vintage hard rock crunch, the controls respond intuitively.

Professional Performance: Despite its compact size, the 6505 Mini Head is a serious professional tool. The effects loop lets you integrate time-based effects after the preamp, the solid construction ensures reliability on the road, and the authentic 6505 tone means you'll sound like the records you love.
