The Peavey ++6505 + HEAD guitar amplifier head builds on Peavey's renowned high-gain amplifier legacy, delivering powerful tube-driven tone for stage performances, studio recording, and demanding guitar applications. With 120 watts RMS of all-tube power, it provides the output and aggressive character associated with the 6505 amplifier family.

Its two-channel design offers extensive tonal flexibility, with independent Pre-Gain, Post-Gain, EQ, Resonance, and Presence controls for each channel. Guitarists can shape their sound from cleaner rhythm tones to powerful overdrive and high-gain distortion, with the added ability to adjust low-frequency response and high-frequency presence for different playing styles and setups.

The upgraded footswitch provides convenient control over channel selection, the effects loop, and the Rhythm Channel Crunch function. This allows players to engage additional gain and switch between performance settings without interrupting their playing.
