      This is something that people just don't get. Tube amps don't get their beautiful trademark distortion until you get an awful lot of volume. I'll use my half stack on 3 to practice, but jesus does it sound amazing cranked. Low watt heads have less headroom, so you can get fucking brutal at low volumes. Deathrape2001

    • @T00DEEPBLUE
      @T00DEEPBLUE 8 років тому +2

      Deathrape2001 These power attenuation devices are only a tiny part of the story of why amps sound good at high volumes though. I've already written something relating to this in another comment on this video; that lower powered amps have better lower volume performance than higher-powered amps (by virtue of having a low RMS power rating) is a myth for the most part and that actually, other factors have a far greater effect on low-volume performance than the amp's power. Such as the power supply design, the output transformer design and the speakers themselves. Those are the sorts of things people should really be thinking about if they want to take the issue of low volume amp performance seriously.
      And with an amplifier like a 6505, the vast, vast majority of the reason why that amp is famous for sounding the way it does is because of preamp distortion it creates, not the power section. The two sound totally different tonally. Power amp distortion introduces a lot of sag in the low end that's uncharacteristic of the 6505's extremely tight low end.
      Not to mention that things flat-out sound better when they're loud by the mere nature of how we perceive sound and music in general. The same signal at different volumes affects how we perceive and interpret the signal and there is no getting around that.

I have low wattage amps at home such as the marshall class five, VOX AC4TV head and cab, Gibson Les Paul Jr. Reissue amp and the Fender Super Champ XD. They can get loud without losing their balls. My VOX has an attenuator that will go from a four watt to a quarter watt and still have some balls. Don't worry about being clean and tasteful because you guys are cool and most of us are adults anyway. Cheers, Flood!

      There's no way you can get the full tightness of the 6505 with a single V30 you need at least a 2x12. Whereas a G12 1x12 cab still sounds great with this amp.

    Really nice review! Although this lead me to wonder how this little beast compares to its big brother 6505? I know how 5150 bands sound like and I think 6505 bands sound the same, but in this review the mini didn't sound like those bands (maybe the gear, settings and such though, the bands being pretty riff based fast metal). Also how do EL84s compare to 6L6GC which 6505 has? EL84 makes me think of EL34 more than 6L6GC and I know those two have difference in sound, I would describe them like EL34 to be more british while 6L6GC being more american and that's the difference between let's say Peavey and Marshall.
    Could you maybe include some comparison between these two (and/or the power tubes) in some future Peavey video? This would really much decide if I would buy the mini instead of saving for 6505! The mini had so many useful features though and being a mini there's definitely some pros so I would love to know how 6505 and the mini compare! Thanks Chappers & Capt!

Bought my Peavey 5150ii (6505+) back in 2000 and never looked back...still my main amplifier til this day! Much more versatile amp than most give it credit for. You get downright awesome blues/classic rock tones from the crunch channel and one of the best hard rock/heavy metal tones on the market from the lead channel!

    I've had this amp for a couple months now and I can say now that it's phenomenal. I also have a 5150 2x12 but this is easily just as good. Slightly different overall but it's got it's own character. Reliability has been rock solid. As for the output switch I think the 5 watt mode is the sweet spot for bedroom use. I rarely use the 1 watt unless I'm really trying to be quiet but the 5 watt mode retains a lot more character of the 20 watt mode where I feel the 1 watt mode sacrifices a bit too much. That said, it still sounds phenomenal in all settings. Just don't dial out the midrange because that's where the bite is, but that's a mistake you shouldn't make on any amp, especially the 5150/6505 family amps.

      +Abhishek Gaur passable. It's ok from a perspective of throwing down a riff idea or recording something real quick, but it's still clearly a direct input which isn't the best thing in the world. Mine is mic'd up with an Audix i5 which is obviously much better, but in a pinch the direct recording output isn't bad. It's not the worst I've ever heard by far but I think that's just the nature of direct outputs. They're nice for practicing and demo recordings but you're going to want to mic it up.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the 6505 and the 6505+ all have 6L6 power output tubes. I find I like the bass response of 6L6 better. Why would they put EL84 in the circuit instead of 6V6? Just my opinion but the 6V6 would have gave it a more American sound. This is more like the Peavey 6534 which is the old van halen 5150 but with EL34 tubes to get a more British sound.

      Man the CAP-10 is a killer machine and very versatile, I love it. I've been playing on it for only three months but it seams more, it's a romance. Love the guitar. Coming from a Les Paul I would say that a shorter and thinner neck could be better for me but doesn't bother me too much and if I had to make a custom one I would probably move a bit the knobs but yeah, that just nitpicking. I will certainly change the tuners also for locking ones very soon.

    Hi Rob. I'm so desperate to buy this amp, but will it be heard unmic'd at small pub gigs and rehearsals? And the complication is that I play metal. This is very important for me, but I cannot find any realiable info anywhere. Would really apreciate a reply from you and also other viewers, who know what they are talking about.

  • @MERV_
    @MERV_ 8 років тому +1

    There is something i dont yet understand. Does this amp give you the same sound / tone as the normal 6505 head but just a lower volume? people have been telling me diffrent things. some say the sound quality is lower on these kind of cheaper versions of amps and others tell me its just lower wattage (less sound volume). can someone please make this clear to me for once :c
    Thnx :D

  • @techniqueswithtodd
    @techniqueswithtodd 8 років тому +2

    ROB. You are a GEAR GOD, and KILLER PLAYER, no question. I must say though that I've played this little head through a standard peavey cab and it had just way more bass than the 57 is picking in this vid IMHO. I realize an SM57 would be used in standard recording, but perhaps putting a second mic on the cab with better bass response on to better convey just how much low/thump/head crushing/krunch comes out of this little head would be handy? or for Future bits?

    I’m debating between this amp or the EVH 5150 iii , basically the price and watts I’m determining but both sound great and this amp for a 20w still sounds like it packs a punch.
    I small gig with it but mostly home use. Any inputs ?

    • @jakestadium
      @jakestadium 4 роки тому

      Go with the 6505.. and honestly the 6505 plus combo specifically. It's got a better clean channel and you get reverb, AND it's cheaper. The 5150 3 sounds over-gained in the preamp and lacks the warmth/brown-ness of the 6505 imho. They are quite brittle and harsh in the high end. A 6505 is actually an infinitely more versatile amp than how most people use it. I mean just listen to those blues tones Lee got. Legit.

    i'm going to get the 5150 lbx instead.. because of Peavey... Retailers have ordered peavey amps and not received them.. There is a video made by a smaller retailer that he had a lot of peavey amps ordered and half never arrived and this was at the same time as they closed down the factories because that didn't have enough amps ordered... doesn't make sense.. also the service at Peavey....

    Hey Lee, it appears in the intro or outro, can't remember, that Andertons stocks JHS pedals. I was just wondering how come you've never done a demo of any of them. You and I have very similar tastes when it comes to gear, and I am fairly certain you would completely dig some of their drive pedals. I also like the Twin Twelve and Thunderbolt, that emulate Silvertone and Supro amps respectively. Just wondering? Cheers! Keep up all the new types of videos, and Thank You for not doing away with the original!

Set your sound then turn up.
