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.

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.
