ENGLISH ™ 6505 212 combo 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. It’s one of the features that allows small combos to sound so big— the speakers actually spread the sound around more of the stage. But while open-cabinet designs are efficie

U F E S Top Panel 1 5 6 2 3 4 7 11 12 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). Situations where both inputs are used simultaneously (alternating between two guitars on stage using both inputs, etc.) should be avoided if pea

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. In simple terms, the RESONANCE control works like a low EQ to offset low-end frequency drop-out. The PRESENCE

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; for two 8 ohm enclosures, set switch to 4 ohms). The 6505 212 is designed to operate into a minimum of 4 ohms. 11
