I just got home after making my weekly visit to check out whats new, and one item that is not new and has been there for many months was a 6505+ combo. I plugged into it with a nice ibanez (turns out it was a $1800 guitar) and proceeded to try out all the knob and just about every possible options on the amp. WoW I guess that there is a reason that all of the metal kids out there really love this amp. Its a 2 channel amp with Full 3 band EQ's for both channels and though the clean channel can get to and stay clean it sounds alot better to me where it is just at the point of breakup. The Metal tones I was able to achieve were epic, this thing is a Metal Monster! I must have one now.. there was a guy selling one for $275 on the local CL and I guess he needed some quick cash, there's another one also from CL who is selling his for $400.. So ive gotta make a decision as to weather I should go with the brand new one at the guitar shop for $599 but is under warentee and I can put it on layaway and pay $150 a week for a month or save up the $400 one that the local dude has. According to the guy selling the $400 combo they only issue is that the light up peavey logo on the amp doesn't work and while it doesn't seem like it would be an issue with any of the workings of the amp itself. Another thing would be the one at the guitar shop includes the Foot Switch and when i looked at them on ebay they were between $50 and $100 for the proper footswitch.. So im leaning towards the guitar shop either that or possibly when sweetwater sales guy calls me back maybe i can talk him down a little on the amp (one of the best things about sweetwater is the haggling over prices).
