Tube Guitar Amplifier Congratulations on your purchase of Peavey's 6505 212 combo. Based on the 6505 Stack, this combo offers the same classic sound in a smaller package. The sonic trademark of traditional combo amps is the characteristic dispersion of sound resulting from open-backed cabinetry.

Top Panel Inputs (1, 2) The 6505 212’s input block features HIGH [1] and LOW [2] GAIN Inputs. The HIGH GAIN Input has twice the gain of the LOW GAIN Input and should be used when maximum overdrive is desired. When both inputs are used simultaneously, the 6505 212 automatically switches to the normal gain mode (6 dB pad).

Top Panel Equalization (8, 9, 10) The 6505 212’s equalization block features passive LOW, MID and HIGH EQ that is custom tailored to the 6505 sound. Resonance & Presence (13, 14) Unique to the 6505, the RESONANCE [13] control can be set to boost the gain of the power amp in the low frequencies at the resonance/attenuation point of the speaker cabinet.
If hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure(s) with the ground switch in the center position, place the ground switch to positive or negative (+ or -) to minimize hum. Should a hum/noise problem continue, consult your authorized Peavey Dealer, the Peavey factory or a qualified service technician.
Speaker Connection When connecting the amplifier to the speaker enclosure, make sure to set the impedance selector switch on the rear of the unit to the impedance that matches your enclosure. When two enclosures of equal impedance are used, set the switch to one half the impedance of one enclosure (e.g. for two 16 ohm enclosures, set switch to 8 ohms;...
