A 6505 with 2 extra pots:



Interesting quote's by FJAMods:
"Tubes aren't part of the amp circuit so I wouldn't consider that when comparing the amps. Tubes are going to be changed as regular maintenance so those tubes that made the block logo sound different are long gone by now. A block logo and a new 6505 running the same tubes are the exact same amps.

Sovtek tubes aren't Chinese, they're Russian. Peavey is shipping with Chinese Ruby power tubes these days, not Sovtek. "

"There's no difference between block logo, signature logo, or the 6505. Save you money and get the cheapest one you can find. hat whole block logo thing is Ebay bullshit used by sellers to get more for their amps."

Well with as much work as he has done on all three models it's fair to say that he knows what he is talking about.

any idea what those 2 extra little knobs on the peavey does? my ear cant pick it

the custom made amps sound pretty sweet, but am i a bad person for saying i dig the sound of the ampegs?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I know one of the knobs is a mid sweep, my guess on the other is that it's probably some sort of presence mod. I kind of want a 3 channel 5150...

$300 is alot though.

Other knob is a solo boost I believe, not sure how you swith it on/off though, guessing the footswitch.

The added little pots are for the clean chanel gain and master volume. This amp has the 3 channel mod.

Those Ampegs are kickass, I hade a VL-1002, and it has such a unique sound.
Its like a JCM-800 with more balls and gain(These are the amps that Zakk Wylde used on "No More Tears").

Jerry, Welcome to the forum. Your advice and expertise I'm sure will be quite welcome over here. I have read a fair amount of your postings on the peavey forum.
Cheers

I used to see those ampegs back in the day. I remember they had a LOCK on them, so no one could fuck with your settings! I never played on one though. Oh yeah, welcome Jerry!!!!!!!

Dude, I play a VL-1002 as well. I thought it was broken or something, but just figured out that I was playing it through a really bad skank cab.
