Just want to say your video sold me on picking up a 6505+ combo. I can't believe how much more signal is getting sent through by chucking a cable in the fx loop. I will change the speaker out for a celestion probably a redback but the simple act of putting the cable in there improves the signal so much. This should be more publicly known.
@@xasthur98 Take one of the short cables used to chain peddles. one end into send and the other into the return. I would think there's a video. Lemme check
It sounds beast, just out of the box, guitar, cable plug in to the amp. Awesome, this is going to be my new toy that I will give to myself as 40 birthday gift next January 20th🥳
I feel like mine doesn't sound the same as yours. I have the effects loop jumped out and a horizon devices precision drive in front which in theory should tighten it up. I bought it used so I wonder if it might need one or more of the tubes replaced. Any advice?
be sure your ohm output is on the right (16ohm) and then try this setting with just a cable plugged in th fx loop : Presence 9.5 resonance 8 treble 5, middle 3 bass 6 gain 7... Tell me after !
I noticed the difference in sound when i plugged in a boss me to the loop. Then playing without it. I was thought. Hmmm maybe my amp is just broken. So i would just loop it by it self to get more gain lol
It isn't broken, it's a factory issue I think that all this serie is confronted to. Some people like the fact it adds more clarity (presence) and more gain (like me) but I know people who hate this...
@@johngloom9235 thank you.. well i really like the Sheffields because they have less trebles and have good low ends... With the 6505 series you need to krank the presence knob (between 8 and 9) and lower the trebles (around 3 or 4). If you do that with the fx loop jump (with the combo) it sounds great
Just some tips, I have this amp for years and I know how it works specially with a band. The post control have to be more than 4, anything below will not push the power tubes correctly and sound a little fuzzy, the pre control should not be over than 6 if your are the only guitar player in the band, if has another guitar player with you the pre control should not be over than 4, believe me.....fast riffs will not sound tight as it should be with another guitar and too much gain, tube amps need more volume to sound good that's why when you put the pre control at 4 will not sound heavy because the power section is not being pushed. Another tip (VERY IMPORTANT) if you don't have anything in the FX loop put something, anything, could be just a cable connected in the send and return , and should be enough, but why??? Because somehow you lost output signal....try it, put a cable between send and return and the amp will come alive, I don't know why this happens, but you should try I.
I totally agree with you man this is just a demo at home, not settings for gigs. I already know the fx loop boost it is called the "fx loop" jump trick (it's written in the description of the vid) and if you look at the description I wrote it as "the awesome trick!".. Anyway I really enjoyed this combo and than transformed it into a separate cab and head... Too bad not many people knew the amp with the fx loop jump, Peavey made a crucial error... Now i sold it and bought the 6505mh which is a really great mini head and light as a feathere! Thanks for your comments man!
A simple cable from the send to the return or a pedal ( a noisegate, boost..) plugged into the fx loop... As soon as you plug a cable you'll hear a difference. (more gain, more presence)..
Hey I'm not sure I understand what you mean in the description about the cable can you show me? Or can anyone clear that up for me because I cant help but imagine a cable plugged in 1 hole out into the next and that makes no sense to me lol
OK I know it seems weird but on this amp when you plug anything in the loop (a pedal or just a cable from the send to the return input) it makes it breathe, you gain more gain and more presence.. just try without and with: night and Day! It's an issue factory..It's called the "fx loop jump trick ". It also works on some valveking heads..
Just bought a peavey 6505+ 112 combo used, that I am using in my bedroom. I've noticed something about the amp that I don't know if it is normal or not: When I am using the crunch mode on the rhythm channel, It just gets so loud past 1 on the "pre" that I just can't push it further to get more distortion/crunch, no matter the level of the "post". Basically, this means that I simply can't use this channel to get the overdriven "Marshally" tones usually advertised on reviews. Additionally, the "pre" on the rhythm/crunch channel seems to act more as volume than a distortion nob, as if I move it slightly the volume will increase significantly. On the other hand, the post button doesn't seem to alter the volume unless I crank it. On the lead channel, it seems to acts as I was expecting: by moving the pre I get more distortion but not more volume, and by moving the post I get more volume Any thoughts on this?
The amp and just the guitar man nothing more... But here's a trick: plug a cable from the send to the return input and it adds more gain more presence...
@@greg24hoareau I didn't know this until we took my brother's to the amp shop for repair. Going through effects loop bypasses the first tube the way the amp is designed.

That first riff is awesome
Ah Davidian...burn my eyes such a great first album from Machine Head.
Machine Head! One of my fav bands, tone sounds great man thanks for sharing
They used the peavey amps with celestion green backs bad ass tone
my man has a dank taste in bands
That MH is spot on
I love my Vox AC10 when I am playing my Blues, but man I think I need this in my life when I need to play my Metal lol..
Definitely that sound fits to Machine Head the most. Well done!

If you know this trick it’s a great amp!
Did you end up switching out the speaker? If so, what did you go with and did you notice any improvement?
@@greg24hoareau just got the amp, just got here, trying that.........now.
So you plug in your guitar cable into the effects loop?
@@xasthur98 Take one of the short cables used to chain peddles. one end into send and the other into the return. I would think there's a video. Lemme check
I LOVE DAVIDIAN!!!!
I always scoop the mids out
I got the 6505 combo as well love it !!!!! Just heavy as hell lol but has the metal tone
You should definitely be a professional producer. Those were supremely huge tones. Thanks.
In Flames 🔥
Your first riff reminded me of disturbing the priest by Black Sabbath! Really great!
That riff is Davidian by Machine Head.
Sounds raunchy man. I need to get one. Thinking of using it along with a mesa 2x12.
It sounds beast, just out of the box, guitar, cable plug in to the amp. Awesome, this is going to be my new toy that I will give to myself as 40 birthday gift next January 20th🥳
Don't forget to plug a 2nd cable from the send to return input (awesome trick as mentioned) 🤘
Love Peavey
So do I

If it doesnt sound better maybe the tubes but I don't think so...
เสียงดีมาก รุ่นแรง ป่าเถื่อน ฉันชอบมาก ฉันตกลงซื้อตัวนี้ มันกำลังเดินทาง
Does this also work if i have a pedal in the loop? like putting my delay there or something? (not turning it on, just having it there on bypass)
Yes it works...

Thank you man !
I didn't know that that fx loop trick for the valve king worked for the 6505+! Sounds like a beast! Stock speaker?
Yes man stock speaker

Damn just bought one of these but mine doesnt pack half the punch that this one does. Any troubleshooting advice? I have the stock speakerd and tubes.
Try this (this is a famous trick on this amp): just plug a cable from the send to the return inputs. Night and Day! More gain, more presence..try it!
What does that even mean??? Can you make a video explaining this????
@@greg24hoareau how to switch the cable? How to do that?
@@kokica777 just link the send input with the return input (just plug a cable )...

Thanks for your comments man!
People have known that cable trick,used it on the valvestate amp years ago
What's the difference between this and the 5150 combo? Which sounds best?
Would any cable work? I have a couple spare 3 inch patch cords I could use. And would I have to put the cable in both the send and return?
A simple cable from the send to the return or a pedal ( a noisegate, boost..) plugged into the fx loop... As soon as you plug a cable you'll hear a difference. (more gain, more presence)..
Hey I'm not sure I understand what you mean in the description about the cable can you show me? Or can anyone clear that up for me because I cant help but imagine a cable plugged in 1 hole out into the next and that makes no sense to me lol

speaker and pickup used?
Stock speaker (Sheffield 16ohm) and emg's hetset
Are you using an attenuator or does it really get this quiet?

Dioxit in the pots. Do a youtube search. Try that, but it's been 9 months. I'd guess you figured it out by now.
I like the demo.... I'd also jam out some Machine head!
I recognize the Machinehead riff
Hell yeah I started headbanging right away when I heard that. Perfect riff to start out the demo with
What speakers are in this?
@@enricoincognito8595 these were tge stock speakers...
Lol i tought shefields sounds like shit😅
But seems there are fine
Do you mean to literally plug a cable into the send and return? Like to make a loop?
Yes if you don't use the fxloop or the fact of plugging anything in the fxloop ( a noisegate for ex) changes the sound...you can compare.
@@greg24hoareau wow it sounds 10x better now!
@@TheZsut tell this to a maximum of people because this amps rocks! :-)

Nice, what’s the first riff btw?

Is there a distortion pedal being used with this amp? Or is that the amp and just the guitar
The amp and just the guitar man nothing more... But here's a trick: plug a cable from the send to the return input and it adds more gain more presence...
Thank you ill give this a try
Sorry to be a pest but would this trick work on the 6505 head aswell?
@@kayaphillips8639 I don't think, it doesn't work on my 5150 combo so I think this issue is only a conception default on this amp...
No worries, thank you for answering my questions much appreciated
Except you miss the tone of the first tube that way.
Why? I no longer have this combo...
