UTILIZATION

You turn the knobs, you gain puts high or normal gain after your preference and go!

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?
I play Death Metal with my band, and the sound suits me perfectly!

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play on a Jackson KV2 equipped with EMG 85/81, the sound is really good, much better than my BC Rich Bronze Warlock.

- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
Is obtained very quickly from saturated fat. In fact, there are two channels, the pace and lead.
I use the saturated pace for a rhythm a bit in the bass, it sounds really good and palm mute ... Mmmhhh what fun! It can take clean, but need not be an idea, it sucks! You come away from clean, but that's all, after a little chorus to help beautify all that, but when you take this beast is well and truly to the metal!
Otherwise, the lead, I use one makes you stronger for solos or leads just hairy. What I appreciate with this lead is that much of the spring mix, the sound is considerably more drilling but remains in the spirit of 6505.

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
Personally, playing on the home peavey 5150 cabs, I appreciate everything that comes out. My guitar has a Peavey VK, and it's night and day, knowing that we try to see the difference by putting everything on twelve o'clock, my amp sounded much better in his (the price change, too )

8 because of the clean, which could interfere with certain, but it's not my case!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
It's been a year now.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The sound is really the best point of this beast. The design is both aggressive and finally all the taste but I greatly appreciate! The least would be the weight ... Although heavier than the head of my guitar (peavey VK). There is also a small breath, but I do not put in default, he personally does not bother me, in concert and transplanted, it does not interfere in the mix. on the other hand, with 5150 cabs, I can tell you in concert (at the music festival, to say) I was 3 / 10 3.5/10 pace and volume in lead, with two front speakers of 700W each just for voice. Power level in dB, you will be served!

- Have you tried many other models before buying it? (As head tube)
A Marshall, I found the sound really shit, too ... marshall too whereof, I have a transistor and I made a few chords, I almost cry, I wanted more.
Peavey JSX A (I think), so there was good sound too, but the price was a little larger and it was after my purchase, but I admit that I might be hesitant
An H & K (I do not remember the model), where I found the saturation a bit flat, nothing to do with the 6505
A model ENGL I know what (you take thomann, 3850 to the euro, something like that), there was a multi-effects when I had to try a friend, so it distorts the result, but it sounded to hell.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
I think 750euros (bought used) for a head of this quality, it's really not expensive at all. I think that level quality / price ratio, we can not do better.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Without hesitation. I would conclude this short note, this amp is used by:
In Flames, Ensiferum, Neaera, Arch Enemy (at the time), Machine Head, Dark Tranquillity, Kataklysm, Aborted ... What big names (and many others) Death Metal scene and just for that, it is a guarantee of quality!
