Peavey amp heads for electric guitar
uncompromising power, iconic tone
Peavey amp heads have stood for exactly what guitarists need on loud stages for decades: pronounced mids, tight bass, biting highs and enormous reliability. From modern high-gain beasts to versatile all-round heads – Peavey delivers sounds that cut through the mix. Whether metal, rock, hardcore or alternative: if you're looking for a head that combines punch, character and attack, you'll sooner or later end up at Peavey.
High-gain classics with history:
Peavey 6505 1992 Original
The name says it all: this head is a tribute to the legendary origins of the 6505 series and brings the raw, direct 90s high-gain sound back to the stage. Massive saturation, bone-dry punch and an unmistakable midrange focus make the 6505 1992 Original the go-to amp for modern heavy genres – and also for you who love dynamic crunch sounds with genuine tube feel.
Peavey Invective 120
With the Invective 120 Peavey brings high-gain into the now – uncompromising, yet extremely practical. The head offers brutal reserves for modern rhythm sounds, while staying clearly defined and reacting fast to your attack and playing style. It also impresses with a top-notch clean channel that gives you enough headroom for pedal setups. In short: a head if you want modern metal tightness, versatility and studio/live readiness in one unit.
Peavey Mini Head (MH)
Big tone doesn't have to be big: the Peavey MH series packs the typical Peavey character into lightweight, transport-friendly mini heads – ideal for rehearsal rooms, home studios, sessions or small stages. Despite their compact build the MH models deliver surprisingly big punch, clear channel separation and the sound you know from their “big siblings”. Perfect if you want to stay flexible without giving up Peavey power.
Peavey 6505 II
More flexibility but the same DNA as the original: the 6505 II extends the classic 6505 sound with even more precise channel separation and extra shaping options. From a punchy rhythm workhorse to singing lead tones, everything remains tight and controllable at all times. If you want the typical 6505 character but need a broader tonal palette, this is the one for you.
Our amp-fluencer Olli grabbed the Peavey 6505 II and put it through its paces — testing it thoroughly, tubes and all. Whether it's a genuine upgrade or just the II-choice, you'll find out in the video.
