![]() Orange amps are more known for their vintage sound, but there are plenty of modern metal bands that use them to great effect. For chugging riffs, that is really all you need. It is loud, aggressive, and in your face. It takes away the guesswork sometimes involved in figuring out when tubes need to be replaced.Īs far as death metal goes, I think the 6505 does exactly what it needs to. This is such a small feature, but one that I always appreciate. The 6505 also features Tube Status Indication (T.S.I.) which shows you that your tubes are still in good health and when they need to be replaced. But it is a nice feature of the amp even if it isn’t the most amazing reverb around. While playing death metal, you aren’t likely to use a whole lot of reverb anyway. It is a digital, plate-style reverb and isn’t the best I have ever heard. Pulling back to 5-watt, I found the sound to tighten and clean up a bit and I no longer noticed the saturation at high volumes. The amp does become quite saturated at higher volumes and 20-watts. At 1-watt the amp is also still pretty loud, but to me, this is more of a practice setting rather than a gig setting.Īnother use for the attenuation, other than power output, would be tone control. At 5-watts, the amp managed to roar and scream without losing any sound quality. The 6505 also has an attenuation switch to take it down to 5 and even 1-watt. ![]() Switching to the lead channel, the sound becomes thicker and really cuts through the mix. It is certainly among the louder 20-watt amps I have ever played. The sound this amp produces is very fat, aggressive, and loud. The Mini Head is the same feature and sound-rich amp as the bigger 6505 version, just in a much more portable package. Even though the Peavey 6505 wasn’t originally intended as a metal amp, it does metal so well that it was quickly adopted by many metal bands.
