Peavey?? 6505?? MH

Congratulations on the purchase of your new 6505 MH tube guitar amplifier from Peavey! Although small, this amp has an all- tube preamp and power amp to authentically produce the much loved tones of the iconic larger models on which it is based-- albeit at lower power levels. The major advantage is the sheer (or lack of) size and weight.

Forging the sound of aggression for more than two decades, the Peavey 6505 series of amps produce the devastating overdriven tones that modern players demand. Peavey proudly introduces the 6505 MH, as a part of its ???micro-head??? series. Although all

are inherently versatile, each of the models feature very different preamp voicings and gain structures. We are confident that everyone from a country picker to a metal shredder will find at least one of these will work for them.

There are numerous features, several that are unique to Peavey, that are described in more detail in the main text. In summary:-

All models have two channels that follow the same gain structure and voicing of the larger amps on which they are based, as well as a boost function that has been designed for the specific model. The channels share EQ, lush reverb and an effects loop. Channels, boost, effects loop and reverb are all footswitchable.

Other features on the rear panel include: Effects Loop, Microphone Simulated Direct Interface (MSDI???) with XLR output and USB out, speaker defeat switch and 3 position power attenuator switch.

The 6505 MH exhibits a tremendous amount of versatility in a small package; it features real tube tone, real tube power! It contains no simulations, emulations or approximations.

Before you begin playing through your amplifier, it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC line voltage supplied. This is shown on the voltage selector switch near the IEC inlet on the rear panel of the unit. Refer to the rear panel diagram in this manual to locate the particular feature next to its number.

Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier. A careful reading of this manual will also ensure you get the best out of your amplifier, by fully understanding its many features.

FEATURES:

???2x EL84 power tubes and 3x 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tubes

???Two footswitchable channels with three-band EQ

???Footswitchable gain boost on Rhythm channel

???Footswitchable reverb

???Footswitchable buffered effects Loop

???Tube Status Indication (T.S.I.) circuit

???Impedance switch for 16 or 8 ohm cabinets

???MSDI??? Output with XLR and ground lift switch

???USB Output

???Speaker defeat switch

???Headphone output

???Attenuator switch for 20 watts, 5 watts or 1 watt output power

VENTILATION: For proper ventilation, allow 24" clearance from the nearest combustible surface.

All vents should have a minimum of 2" of free air space so air can flow thru the unit freely for proper cooling.

6505 MH?? Front Panel

1INPUT

Standard 1/4??? jack for connection to the output of your guitar or last pedal if using effects before the amp.

2CHANNEL SWITCH

Allows selection of the two different channels. The???IN???position of the switch selects the ???LEAD??? channel and the???OUT???position selects the ???RHYTHM??? channel.

NOTE: Channel selection may also be achieved by using the included footswitch.

If remote selection is desired, the CHANNEL switch (#2) must be set to the???IN??? position.

3RHYTHM CHANNEL PRE-GAIN

Controls the volume and gain level of the RHYTHM channel.

4BRT (Bright) switch

Provides a boost to high frequencies on the RHYTHM CHANNEL ONLY. To activate, depress the switch to its???IN???position.

5CRCH (Crunch) switch

This is the ???boost??? function which switches the RHYTHM channel from a fairly clean sound to a more "crunchy" overdriven sound. The???IN???position of the switch selects the ???crunch??? sound and the???OUT???position selects the CLEANER SOUND.

NOTE: The selection between these sounds may also be achieved by using the same footswitch as used for channel switching. IF REMOTE SELECTION IS DESIRED, the CRCH switch (#5) MUST be set to the???IN???position.

6LEAD PRE-GAIN

This controls the input volume level of the LEAD CHANNEL and, therefore, the amount of gain and overdrive.

7LOW, MID & HIGH EQ controls

These are passive tone controls that regulate the low (bass), mid and high (treble) frequencies of the tone of BOTH channels.

8RHYTHM & LEAD POST-GAIN controls

These control the output level of the RHYTHM and LEAD channels respectively. Only one will be in use at any one time, depending on which channel is selected. Used to set the volume as well as to balance the sound between the two channels. The RHYTHM POST-GAIN will control the output level of both the clean rhythm sound as well as the ???crunch??? rhythm sound.

9REVERB

Determines the overall reverb level. Fully counterclockwise will be completely "dry" with no reverb, low settings will produce subtle reverb and high settings will produce lush ambience. This feature can also be controlled via the optional remote footswitch.

6505 MH?? Rear Panel

15VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH

This selects between two different AC line/mains voltages. This should not normally be adjusted by the user, hence the clear plastic shield. This should already be set to the correct line/mains voltage in your country/territory.

16AC POWER INLET:

This is the receptacle for an IEC line cord, which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord to this connector to provide power to the unit. Damage to the equipment may result if improper line voltage is used. (See VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH #15).

Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always make sure that the amplifier and all associated equipment is properly grounded.

Note for UK ONLY

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E, or by the Earth symbol, or colored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N, or the color black. (3) The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L, or the color red.

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not place fingers or any other objects into empty tube sockets while power is being supplied to unit.

17FUSE

The fuse is located within the cap of the fuseholder. If the fuse should fail, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH

THE SAME TYPE AND VALUE IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRRANTY. If the amp repeatedly blows fuses, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

WARNING: THE FUSE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED WHEN THE POWER CORD HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED

FROM ITS POWER SOURCE.

18POWER OUTPUT SWITCH

This three position switch controls an attenuator which allows the maximum output of the amplifier to be switched between 100%, 25% and 5% of rated power. Therefore, between 20 watts, 5 watts and 1 watt. This enables the user to drive the power stage hard, therefore producing the characteristic power amp overdrive, but without such loud volumes being produced by the speaker.

On the lower settings it may be necessary to slightly increase the Resonance and Presence controls for the desired tone. This is due to the change in damping factor when the speaker is driven less.
