The Peavey EVH Wolfgangguitar series is the result of the collaboration between guitarist Edward Van Halen and Hartley Peavey's company, Peavey Electronics.

Peavey included the following endorsement in their advertising: 'For as long as I've been playing guitar, I've always been searching for a certain feel and tone...I've experimented by tearing apart and reassembling hundreds of guitars in different ways searching for these qualities. Although I've ruined a lot of great guitars by having done this, I have learned what it takes to make a truly great guitar. The Wolfgang, after years of trial and error, (for me) is that guitar. Our collective efforts in designing the Wolfgang guitar have resulted in a versatile, quality-crafted guitar that feels great, sounds great and is truly inspiring to play. I've already put mine to the test in the studio and on tour and now it's your turn.'^[1]

The 5150 Sheffield speaker is made to sound like Eds old broken in speaker, but with the life expectancy of a new product. Ed sent his fave Marshall cab to Peavey. Hartley said it leaned to one side and looked like it would fall over if you leaned on it. Ed said copy it. And it was close enough for Ed. I have an EVH 5150 III 2x12. My Peavey Studio Pro 112 TransTube (1995 or 1996, I believe) has an 8 digit serial number without a prefix. But then again I have an old Peavey Envoy 110 teal stripe that is a 1990, and uses the serialization system of the 1980s.

• The Peavey 5150 is a vacuum tube based guitar amplifier made by Peavey Electronics from 1992 on. The amplifier was initially created as a signature model for Eddie Van Halen. After Van Halen and Peavey parted ways in 2004, the name was changed to Peavey 6505. The 5150 name was used again by Van Halen in partnership with Fender under the EVH brand.

The EVH stands for 'Edward Van Halen' while Wolfgang is the name of Edward Van Halen's son (born in 1991).

History[edit]

Since the late 1970s, when Van Halen regularly performed on the Pasadena club scene, and with the release of Van Halen's self-titled debut album, Edward Van Halen's guitar tone—nicknamed the 'Brown Sound' for being full yet distinctively aggressive and articulate—had been widely acclaimed. It immediately set a standard for guitarists all over the world.

To achieve the legendary 'Brown Sound', Edward Van Halen employed a variac to limit the voltage of his Marshall guitar amplifier while still allowing the volume to be at its maximum. He also used a custom-assembled strat-like guitar with a PAFhumbucker (taken from a Gibson ES-335) mounted directly to the guitar's body. Van Halen's infamous Frankenstein (a.k.a. the 'Frankenstrat') guitar laid the groundwork for most of the custom guitars he played throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Prior to working with Peavey, Van Halen had worked with and endorsed Charvel, Kramer and Ernie Ball Music Man.

Production of the Peavey EVH Wolfgang began in late 1996 (after a year-long development process) and lasted until 2004, when Edward Van Halen and Peavey parted amicably.^[2] Production of the Wolfgang guitar (along with other Peavey models) occurred in a dedicated Leakesville, MS plant but was moved to Meridian, MS in early 2003. Van Halen had also developed three amplifiers with Peavey, starting in 1991.

In 2009, Edward Van Halen announced the release of a new Wolfgang guitar built by Fender but only carrying his own 'EVH' brand label. The newer Wolfgang retains many of exactly the same attributes as its Peavey-built predecessor.

Models and specification[edit]

In some sense, the Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar picked up where the Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model left off, with the prototype design being made by Peavey Design Engineer/Luthier Jim DeCola (an amber quilted top model which still didn't have the Wolfgang headstock shape, but rather a Peavey classic one). On the second prototype, DeCola then developed the final body and headstock designs. Another innovative feature DeCola designed was the recessed truss rod adjustment wheel. Recessing the adjustment wheel into the neck provided a stronger neck joint as well as ease of adjustment like his previous model. This design has since been adopted by Fender, Jackson, Charvel, ESP, Schecter, and many other brands. The body was made of basswood and often had (like its predecessor) a maple cap. This combination is considered by some, such as renowned luthier John Suhr, 'the Holy Grail of tone.'^[3] The Ernie Ball model, however, used a 1/8' figured maple cap, which is itself less likely to change the overall effect of the tonewood. Peavey Wolfgangs had maple caps ranging from 1/4' to 5/8'.The guitar had a Floyd Rosevibrato system, built by Ping, which lowers pitch only (like the Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model) but added a d-Tuna on the low E-string, a device that allowed that string to be instantly tuned to and from D (a former design of this device, named 'The Willie',^[4] was filed for patent by Edward in 1997, but later abandoned in 1998).

Many Peavey Wolfgang owners have incorrectly adopted the terms 'Standard' and 'Deluxe' and applied them to their guitars. Though common, these terms were never officially used by Peavey. Wolfgang owners were simply seeking a way to distinguish between arch top and flat top model Wolfgangs and maple cap and solid basswood model Wolfgangs. The word 'Deluxe' was used by Peavey, but only to describe Custom Shop models.

The guitar specifications ^[5] are:

• Solid (usually 2-piece) basswood body
• Carved maple top (1/4' to 5/8' thick) on selected models (translucent finishes); no top on the Special models
• Bolt-on construction with contoured neck heel, no neck plate
• Unique offset cutaway design
• Birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, oil-finished
• Dual graphite reinforcements and adjustable torsion rod with recessed adjustment wheel
• 25 1/2' scale length
• 22 jumbo frets (Dunlop 6105)
• 15' fingerboard radius
• Locking nut, string retainer bar
• Straight string pull headstock with asymmetrical 3+3 tuning machine configuration
• Precision die-cast tuning machines (based on the Schaller M6L)
• Two Alnico-V custom-wound Peavey humbucking pickups (DC resistance:16.22 kΩ on the neck, and 13.87 kΩ on the bridge)
• Master volume control (500 kΩ, long split shaft, logarithmic)
• Master tone control (500 kΩ, long split shaft, logarithmic)
• Switchcraft® 3-way toggle switch and output jack
• Peavey/Floyd Rose® licensed, double-locking tremolo assembly (made by Ping)
• D-Tuna device (allows instant drop of low E string to D)
• Chrome-plated hardware finish

Peavey EVH Wolfgang[edit]

The original and top-of-the-line model. Made in the USA. It featured an arched (carved) top, body binding, two knobs (volume and tone), three-way pickup toggle switch, two Peavey/EVH-designed humbucker pickups, oil-finished bird's eye maple neck and fingerboard with dual graphite reinforcement rods, ten-degree tilt headstock, and Schaller mini M6 tuners (with either pearloid or ivory colored buttons). Two base versions were offered: a solid basswood model and a solid basswood/maple cap model. (The maple cap was 5/8' before carving.) Each version could come with either a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna (d-tuner device) or a tune-o-matic bridge and hard tail piece. Solid basswood Wolfgangs were offered in gloss ivory and gloss black; solid basswood/maple cap Wolfgangs were offered in various transparent figured maple finishes (sunburst, amber, red, purple, blue, green, cherryburst, and black cherryburst) as well as vintage gold and seafoam green. Very occasionally a rejected maple top was painted either gloss black or gloss ivory.

Peavey EVH Wolfgang Special[edit]

Peavey and Edward Van Halen's attempt to make a 'budget' version of the Wolfgang that didn't compromise quality in parts or craftsmanship. Made in the USA in 1998. It featured a flat top, one knob (volume), three-way pickup toggle switch, two Peavey/EVH-designed humbucker pickups, licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna (d-tuner device), oil-finished hard rock maple neck and fingerboard with dual graphite reinforcement rods, straight headstock, and chrome tuners. Two base versions were offered: a solid basswood model and a solid basswood/maple cap model. (The maple cap was 1/4'.) Each version could come with either a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna (d-tuner device) or a tune-o-matic bridge and hard tailpiece. Solid basswood Wolfgang Specials were offered in gloss ivory, gloss black, vintage gold, gloss purple, and sunburst; solid basswood/maple cap Wolfgangs were offered in various transparent figured maple finishes (amber, red, purple, green, sunburst, and black cherryburst). Very occasionally a rejected maple top was painted gloss black.

Peavey EVH Wolfgang & Wolfgang Special Deluxe (Custom Shop)[edit]

The Peavey EVH Wolfgang Custom Shop operated from January 2002 to December 2004. It was run by four highly talented craftsman, each with a different area of specialty. The Custom Shop launched with a contest held via Van Halen's official website. Twelve unique Wolfgangs were given away throughout 2002—one every month.

Approximately 285 Custom Shop guitars were produced in Leakesville, of which 92 of these were made to fill specific orders while the rest were built for the 'Wolfgang Vault'.

Another 130 specific customer orders were produced in Meridian after mid-2003 as well as another 70 guitars, many of which are not really true Customs as they were using up remaining materials inventory. Some guitars where the only upgrade is a rosewood fretboard is technically called a Custom Shop, but most really are not. Edward didn't want the production guitars to have rosewood fretboards so the only way they could produce them like this was to call them Custom Shop guitars.

Thus, approximately 500 Custom Shop guitars were built from 2002 through 2004, some 220 of them being specific customer orders (Approximately 50 of those were ordered and/or purchased by guitar collector Geoff Knapp. These and many more are pictured at his website, Rock'N Roll Weekend).

Peavey had an area at their website for people to 'build' (and order) their own Custom Shop guitars. The basic options that anyone could select were; the body wood: top wood; fretboard wood; fretboard inlays; bridge type; hardware color; top color or graphic and matching/standard headstock. The body wood options were basswood (standard), alder, ash, mahogany, and even koa or korina which weren't standard options. Bridge options were a stop tail bridge or a Floyd Rose Tremolo system in chrome (standard), gold or black. The Special models came with the birdseye (not hard rock) maple neck, which was an upgrade from a production special. For the fretboard you could select Birdseye (standard), Rosewood or Ebony. For the inlays they had pearl or black dots (standard), EVH Blocks, Tribal Flames, Skulls or no inlays at all. For the top you could select flame maple (standard), quilted maple, koa or none (solid body construction). There were about 30 colors to choose from including graphics and a custom graphic option.^[6]

Peavey EVH Wolfgang Special EXP[edit]

Offered from 2002 to 2004, the Peavey EVH Wolfgang Special EXP was a Korean-made version of the Wolfgang. It contained no markings to differentiate it from USA models, but there were several deviations. The Wolfgang Special EXP had a 1/20' quilt maple veneer top and came in four transparent colors: amber, maroon, blue, and sunburst. The body was made of solid basswood and had a masked 'faux' binding. Like the USA Wolfgang Special it featured a flat top, one knob (volume), three-way pickup toggle switch, Peavey/EVH-designed humbucker pickups like USA models, licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna (d-tuner device), hard rock maple neck and fingerboard, straight headstock, and Grover mini tuners (a feature unique to this model). Some aspects of the Wolfgang Special EXP were different to its USA counterparts: the neck had no graphite reinforcement rods and was finished with a satin poly. A hard tail version was not offered.

Specifications details and singularities (pickups, switching, vibrato unit, colours)[edit]

The pickups on the US-made guitars were manufactured by Peavey and, due to the fact that they used different enamel wire types, the neck pickup actually had a higher impedance than the bridge one (approximately 16.22 kΩ on the neck and 13.87 kΩ on the bridge one), which is uncommon.The EXP models (made in Korea) had pickups made to these specs, but not made in the US.

The 3-way switch works in an unconventional way, to the preference of Eddie Van Halen (similar to rotating a Les Paul switch 180 degrees), who mentioned needing to faster switch to the bridge position for soloing. Hence, the 'up' position enables the bridge pickup whereas the 'down' position enables the neck pickup; the middle position enables both pickups connected in parallel.

The vibrato unit was made by Ping to the specifications given by Peavey (string spacing: 10.8mm, string spread: 54mm or 2 7/8', stud spacing: 74mm or 2 15/16', post insert size: 8mm, radius 355mm or 14', brass block depth: 33mm).On the EXP models, a low-budget version built in Korea was installed, more similar to a Schaller unit.

Two solid finishes which had maple tops (seafoam green and solid gold) on the Standard models gained some preference due to their exquisite looks. In Jim DeCola's words: 'The first batch of gold guitars had a different shade of gold than most others as the paint vendor changed. Maybe the first 50 or so. The finishing department blamed a mistake on the paint vendor who supplied the gold and consequently changed the supplier after about 50 or so guitars. The original gold had a warmer, more Gibson bronze cast compared to the following production gold guitars.'

There are a few prototype colours on serial production guitars, with as low as 1 guitar with a certain colour, experiments that Peavey made while in production. One of the examples of this is a dark gloss oxblood finish with a black binding, now owned by an Austin guitar dealer (bearing the patent number but no serial). Some of these had black or gold hardware.

Serial numbers[edit]

USA-built Peavey Wolfgangs typically had serial numbers that started with '91' followed by six more digits. Late-run USA Wolfgangs had serial numbers that started with '50' or '51'. A very few prototype models had serial numbers that started with '1'. Though Peavey Wolfgang owners have often sought to find a corroboration in the serial numbers of their guitars and the year in which each was built (similar to the system Gibson uses), there was no such information contained in the serial numbers. There was also no code specific to Custom Shop models.

Peavey Wolfgang serial numbers were stamped on the back of the headstock between the tuners. Edward Van Halen's signature and the headstock patent number were both branded just below the serial number. Early Wolfgang models (1996–1998) contained the term 'Pat. Pend.' in place of the patent number. Korean model EXP Wolfgang Specials had serial numbers printed in black on the back of the headstock.

Peavey HP Special[edit]

Shortly after the split with Eddie Van Halen, Peavey released the HP Special model (HP stands for Hartley Peavey, although the model was initially supposed to be named Carina) in 2005, with both American and Asian versions, a guitar that encompassed many of the characteristics of the Wolfgang (basswood body with optional contoured maple top, bolt-on maple neck with maple fingerboard, etc.), but was somewhat of a departure from the collaboration with the guitarist - an H-S-H pickup configuration option, a 5-bolt neck joint, and the headstock shape change, even if the Wolfgang headstock patent remained with Peavey.

Work with Fender - the Charvel Art Series and the EVH brand[edit]

In his last times with Peavey, Edward Van Halen began working with Charvel to produce replicas of three of his striped guitar models, the Charvel EVH Art Series, in black and white, yellow and black, and also the most common red, white, and black color scheme.During the Van Halen 2004 Tour, the guitarist played a different custom striped Charvel Art Series in a few songs of each concert, later autographing and auctioning them on eBay.

In 2007, under the supervision of master-builder Chip Ellis, a single run of 300 official replicas of his original Frankenstein guitar were made available by Fender under the EVH brand, in strict collaboration with Edward Van Halen. The guitars were priced at $25,000, having a massive demand upon their arrival to the market.

After the 2007-08 Tour, and once again under the supervision of Chip Ellis, the evolution of the Wolfgang within the Fender group became available to the public, with the EVH Wolfgang® (in 2008) and the EVH Wolfgang® Special (in 2010), both sporting the 'bottle opener' shape,^[7] which is owned by Edward Van Halen, unlike the old Peavey headstock. This was also designed by Jim DeCola who added Edward and Hartley Peavey's names to the patent and then assigned it to Edward so he could have ownership.The guitar inherits many of the Peavey characteristics, namely the woods, overall design, and pickups. Regarding these, Jim DeCola added: 'I worked at Fender (Nashville) for 11 years after Peavey (...). They picked my brain a little before I realized they were trying to lure EVH away. I already discussed what I did with the pickups casually to coworkers. After the guitar was released, I got copies of the pickup specs and blueprints. They are the same specs.'.

An amplifier series - the EVH 5150 III - and several instrument accessories and merchandise soon followed, all under the EVH brand.

Peavey HP2[edit]

In July 2017, during the Summer NAMM Show^[8] in Nashville, Peavey announced the release of the HP2^[9] model, an instrument which has exactly the same appearance and specifications as the discontinued Wolfgang, with minor differences such as the inclusion of a push/pull switch in the Tone knob (for a split-coil connection), the removal of the EVH Wolfgang inscription as well as the D-Tuna device, and the announcement of left-handed models as soon as production begins; the company also hinted at Special and Custom Shop models.

Hi I got some questions about the Peavey 5150 II and 6505 Head. I have 2 people locally, one is selling for $700 firm a Peavey 5150 II Head & Footswitch, said no issues with the head and hasnt been biased to their knowledge, they're not the original owner, but they've done nothing to it and had it going on two years no issues tubes are good. Then I have another person for $750 thats got a Peavey 6505 head in excellent condition, not a scratch on it and they recently retubed it with a matched quad of TAD 6L6GC-STR power tubes: and it comes with a footswitch that was never removed from the original packaging, never used.

They were saying the 6505 / 5150 is a fixed-bias amp and the tubes are a matched quad that were tested and matched specifically the sound good with the plate voltages of the 6505. The preamp tubes are new too, they selected a mix of Tung Sol, Shanghai, and Sovtek for excellent tone and stability and they said the clean headroom seems to have improved and the tone is sweeter at high volume.

They said the clean tones are definitely usable.I'm getting ready to get one, just don't know if I should get the 5150 II or the 6505, our band plays modern metal and we do have some clean parts to our songs but I'd also be using the Peavey for other styles as well. Is the 6505 a better deal versus the 5150 II?

I'd be using it with my Marshall 1960A with x pattern of celestion g12t75's and wgs retro 30's. Owned both extensively, gigged both extensively. At one time i owned both at the same time for little over a year.as far as playability the 5150 II is tighter than the 6505.

The clean and crunch are a whole different ballgame on the II compared to the I. The crunch on the 6505 is more gain than most high gain marshalls, and the lead channel is what they are known for.Ill break this down into a synopsis of each:6505:- Tones change drastically between re-tubes, as the original owner saw - you really have to be picky about what and where, which tubes go and also why they go there. The 6505 bases its lead tone, crunch tone, and clean tone - all around the same design, so naturally a retube can change your tone from great to soso, or soso to great.- i once saw a 5150 and a marshall cabinet fall over being transported together onto solid concrete.

If you're one of those players that has no clue how to use the volume knob and pickup arrangement to get the most out of your tone, then the 6505 series is not a good amplifier to recommend in this department.

They can do clean, but not without playing with preamp tube layout, volume knob resistance value, pickups being used, etc.- need to have the amplifier biased out of crossover distortion for all types of tubes and to allow for tube drift biasing.

I had an original block letter 5150 where the serial number dated all the way back to march of 1992 - 6 months after 5150's were released to the public. It had all orange drops from the factory.

Definitely wont find that build quality in the newer models at all - guaranteed. FJA and myself stand differently on this point because i recall him mentioning he has not seen the same differences, but i have ran across two that i know of that have had this quality difference.either one accepts pedals well. The II sounds more like a SLO to me, whereas the I has its own thing going on.Tone for Tone each sound god like when you start cranking on the volume. I play my 5150 II at 3.5-4 on the volume and that is the sweet spot. When i had my 5150 it sounded great at 6.5. Really moving some air at this point, but 5150's are not bedroom amplifiers at allI am sure this will answer most if not all of your questions.

Both are great in their own right, but i sold my block letter and kept my 5150 II - versatility and tonal stability mattered more to me.

I didn't know Hartley sold the company??!! So as far as versatility and reliability sounds like the 5150 II is the way to go, I've been using my Mesa Tremoverb custom head (it was originally a combo) with the stock mesa rectifier tubes, JJ 6L6GC's and a mix of mesa labeled preamp tubes, groove tubes and I forget what else at shows and practices but everytime I hear my buddy's band, he uses a 6505+ head with his marshall 1960 bottom cab I love the sound!! Now he bought his 6505+ brand new from guitar center and he hasn't had any problems with his and he's just running the factory tubes.

The Mesa is one of a kind cause my brother-in-law converted it to a head and built the custom oversized headshell so that's why I was looking at the peavey 5150 II/6505 series for a gigging amp cause our band has started doing shows more frequentely.

Peavey never used orange drop caps, they've always used Illinios brand caps. They did used to be orange in color, but they weren't orange drops.

Only the color changed. From what I see every part supplier is the same except for the output transformer, but it's still the same specs. I've talked to James Brown about earlier block logo amps being different and it's all bullshit. The build quality on the new amps is just as good as the originals. I do prefer the older amp a little to work on because the traces were a touch thicker.I would play both amps and see what sounds best.

The 6505 has a usable clean. I would prefer the amp with the new tubes over the amp with old tubes all else being equal if I could work with the 6505 cleans.Jerry.

If you're one of those players that has no clue how to use the volume knob and pickup arrangement to get the most out of your tone, then the 6505 series is not a good amplifier to recommend in this department. They can do clean, but not without playing with preamp tube layout, volume knob resistance value, pickups being used, etc.- need to have the amplifier biased out of crossover distortion for all types of tubes and to allow for tube drift biasing.

They do not have this ability from the factory but it will wake up the resonance and presence knobs like night and day - huge difference when playing in a band setting.5150 IIdedicated resonance and presence controls for each channel both clean/crunch and lead. The lead channel and clean channel do not share an EQ anymore - so you have even more control on getting awsome cleans out of it. Combined with a dedicated tube for the clean/crunch channel you can further tune the amp to your tastes.it has bias capability, but not enough swing to do any good. Still will need modification to provide best operation over time.still dependent on preamp tube layout for the gain pattern, but not nearly as much as the 6505 to the point of cursing your amp every time it is time for a retube.if anything the original 5150 II will be made with better components. I had an original block letter 5150 where the serial number dated all the way back to march of 1992 - 6 months after 5150's were released to the public. It had all orange drops from the factory.

Definitely wont find that build quality in the newer models at all - guaranteed. FJA and myself stand differently on this point because i recall him mentioning he has not seen the same differences, but i have ran across two that i know of that have had this quality difference.either one accepts pedals well. The II sounds more like a SLO to me, whereas the I has its own thing going on.Tone for Tone each sound god like when you start cranking on the volume. I play my 5150 II at 3.5-4 on the volume and that is the sweet spot. When i had my 5150 it sounded great at 6.5.

Really moving some air at this point, but 5150's are not bedroom amplifiers at allI am sure this will answer most if not all of your questions. Both are great in their own right, but i sold my block letter and kept my 5150 II - versatility and tonal stability mattered more to me.Sorry chief, Hartley didn't sell the company. Peavey never used orange drop caps, they've always used Illinios brand caps. They did used to be orange in color, but they weren't orange drops. Only the color changed.

From what I see every part supplier is the same except for the output transformer, but it's still the same specs. I've talked to James Brown about earlier block logo amps being different and it's all bullshit.

The build quality on the new amps is just as good as the originals. I do prefer the older amp a little to work on because the traces were a touch thicker.I would play both amps and see what sounds best. The 6505 has a usable clean.

I would prefer the amp with the new tubes over the amp with old tubes all else being equal if I could work with the 6505 cleans.JerryHey Jerry thanks for chiming in here I talked to you via e-mail some time back about having you mod my Marshall artist 3203 head but I think you said you don't do mods on them anymore? I still have the Artist and the matching 1965A 4x10 cab, I have it up for sale locally right now but I don't know if I should hang on to it or not? I seen on EBay there's someone selling a FJA MODIFIED MARSHALL JCM2000 DSL 50 WATT head but he doesn't say what mods were done to it and the starting bid is $799? How are those for modern metal in Drop B and are they pretty versatile with good cleans and do they cut thru well with another guitar player, in the mix, etc?

Do you have any modded amps for sale right now I've really dug your clips of the FJA Modded Marshall DSL50 Head!! Sorry chief, Hartley didn't sell the company. Peavey never used orange drop caps, they've always used Illinios brand caps.

I am not disconcerning block logo versus first runs, i am talking earlier than that.

As far as the newer amplifiers I've had many with cold solder joints, electro's in backwards on the cathodes, list goes on and on. Since James designed the circuit and was over all production during the early time period it is safe to say something is not right. I know orange drop date codes when i see them. We could go on and on here, but what is the use?As far as Hartley not selling the company i read this in the news a few years back. Shocked that i am just now being corrected, but you are right.

A solder connection has nothing to do with lesser quality components. The components on the board are the same stuff as day one. Show me an orange drop in a 5150, real easy to prove me wrong. Good luck with that. An orange colored cap made by Illinios capacitors is not an orange drop. I have pictures of hundreds of 5150's of every era.

Get over yourself. Cold solder joints on a production made amplifier is a considerable problem when its intermittent. I'd say thats quite a QC issue on a 300+ part build. As far as proving you wrong? I said in my very first post we disagree.

How many times do we have to go down this path?I admit incorrectness on Hartley Peavey because i was wrong. Go take a vacation and relax, you're not changing my mind and i have no reason to change yours. Just an FYI to the OP.i recently bought an all stock 5150 (not block letter though) from my buddy for 400$.that was a pretty damned good price, and he needed to move it quick.play one first. Yes, there are some simple mods you can do or get done that will help with the overally amp tone and fine tune it pretty well, or you could send it to Jerry and have your monster woken up. Either way, i'd say, first off, if you get one, play it stock for a while, and get to know it. Figure out what tubes you like, and go from there.dont go into the tube thing blindly.i can't offer much on the technical side, but there are a few tricks you can do with this amp beyond what most people write them off for as a one trick pony.

Yeah man, they'r great amps.if you wait, you can score a decent deal.i dont like JJ tubes really at all, though i do use one of the short plate ones in my egnater tourmaster (for a certain reason), and especially i dont like them for what i want out of a preamp tube in the 5150.short version: i think chinese 12ax7b sound better in the 5150, but, ymmv. Worth a try, since you can get them dirt cheap around here and on ebay.i'm SOOOO glad i'm done chasing the tube dragon, literally, i've tried hundreds of different tubes and 12xxx types in my amps.and always keep coming back to the same 3. So i pretty much have settled on what my ear likes and stick with that.

Yeah those prices may be a little high. I just sold my near mint 5150 block logo for $525 on CL. I have seen 5150 IIs go for as high as $700 though. Personally, I would be willing to pay a little more for a 5150 or a 5150 II over the 6505 series just from a collect-ability/cool factor perspective. As for the quality/reliability of either series; it's a Peavey for crying out loud!

Their built like tanks Chances are if you test it out thoroughly and it's in good condition, you won't have too much trouble with it. Yeah those prices may be a little high.

He didn't say what tubes were in it, I have a Marshall artist 3203 head I was gonna trade him + $300 but because there is an issue with the Master Volume control he didn't want to do the deal with the Marshall.

( April 2017)Although Peavey Electronics produces a wide variety of equipment, a few designs stand out through their popularity or use by prominent professionals.5150, 6505, 6534+ series guitar amplifiers These amplifiers (collectively the 5150 series) and speaker cabinets were the result of a collaboration with. The 5150 series was preceded by the VTM-60/VTM-120 amps, among the first 'non-hotrodded' amps. The 5150 has gained popularity with modern, and bands and guitarists due to its large amount of distortion.

Of uses this amplifier. While touring with, Cantrell asked Eddie Van Halen, 'if I could buy one off him at the end of the tour with them, and when I got home there were three full stacks and two guitars waiting for me.' In 2004, Peavey and Eddie Van Halen parted ways, with Eddie taking the 5150 brand name with him.

This resulted in the renaming of the amplifier as the 'Peavey 6505', with slightly updated styling but original circuitry. The 5150 II, which contains an extra preamp tube for more headroom and gain on the Rhythm channel, is the old equivalent to the new 6505+. In 2010, Peavey released a new amplifier for the 6505 line, the 6534+. It is much like the 6505+, but the 6534 has EL34 power tubes instead of the 6L6 power tubes on the standard 6505 amplifiers. Bandit series guitar amplifiers The Bandit amp series are combo.

The Bandit amplifiers were introduced in 1980 and remain in production today (2013).The earliest model Bandits had a power rating of 50 watts RMS into an 8 speaker. The power rating has gradually increased over time, and are rated at 80 watts RMS into 8 ohms, and 100 watts RMS into 4 ohms. In the mid-1990s, the Bandit was used to introduce Peavey's proprietary TransTube circuitry, a solid-state technology aimed at emulating the sound of. Bandit models. Bandit (1980). Solo Series Bandit (1981–1983).

Solo Series Bandit 65 (1983–1986). Solo Series Bandit 75 (1987–1988). Solo Series Bandit 112 (1988–1995). TransTube Series Bandit 112 (1996–1999). TransTube Series 112, made in US (2000–2004). TransTube Series II Bandit 112, made in China (2004–2006).

Peavey Bandit with Transtube Technology Made in China (2006–present)Classic series guitar amplifiers. A Peavey Classic 30 amplifierPeavey's line of guitar amplifiers made specifically for blues, jazz, and classic rock players. The original Classic series amplifiers were introduced in the 1970s (and were originally called the Peavey 'Vintage' series which the first releases used 6C10 tubes in the pre-amp, NOT solid State. 6C10 amps have a Presence knob not a Master = Vintage Series changed to a solid state pre-amp & a Master Volume, which is the easy way to tell if the amp has 6C10 pre-amp or not without removing the back panel to access the chassis), The solid state preamps and 6L6GC power tubes.

The Original 2-12 Vintage is 100 watts, whereas the 6-10 and the 1-15 are only 50 watts The original Classic was a 50 watt amp and two 12-inch speakers and a spring reverb, with two preamps for 'clean' and 'distortion' channels. They could be used separately, or by plugging the instrument into the 'parallel' connection, which fed both preamps, allowing selection of one from the other using a foot switch.

The instrument could also be plugged into the 'series' connection, running first through the 'clean' channel and feeding that into the 'distortion' channel, providing a means of over driving the distortion preamp, creating a much more versatile method of producing distortion. The current line of Classic series amplifiers consist of three variations of the 'Classic' model, the, 212 and 410. There are two variations of the 'Delta Blues' model, the and the. They use preamp tubes, power tubes, and have tanks. From 1994 to 1997, a 15 watts amp with a 10 inches speaker was also produced: the Peavey Classic 20.CS series power amplifiers The CS series amplifiers (mainly the CS800) are some of the most used amplifiers in the world, and among Peavey's best selling products.JSX series guitar amplifiers The JSX series was designed for.

Satriani was looking for an amplifier that was customized to his style, had every feature he required, and would work in both live and studio applications. This amplifier was reissued as the Peavey XXX II when Joe Satriani's endorsement ended, since the original XXX platform was used as starting point for the design of the JSX series.Radial Pro Series of drum kits The Radial Pro Series were Peavey's high end drum line. In production from 1994 until 2002, it consisted of the RBS-1 prototypes, radial pro 1000, 750/751, and 500/501 models. The flagship 1000 model consisted of a radial bridge that took all the mounting stresses, and a 3-ply thin maple shell to enhance the resonance. The 750/751 series had composite bridges and stained 4-ply thin maple shells. The 500/501 series had composite bridges and wrapped 5-ply North American thin hickory shells.Triple XXX/3120 series guitar amplifiers The basis for the JSX series, the XXX series provides a tonal range from what some call 'glassy' cleans, to 'full body' hi-gain tones using its 3 channel interface. The 3120 series came later.

Originally, the Peavey XXX was set to become recording artist George Lynch's signature model but the deal never finalized.ValveKing series guitar amplifiers All-tube high gain amplifiers. Capable of anything from Blues to Metal.Vypyr series guitar amplifiers The Vypyr series of amps are modeling amplifiers. They generate different amplifier sounds based on digital models of various popular amplifiers.

The models include Fender twin and deluxe, Mesa/Boogie Rectifier, Diezel Boutique, Krank Krankenstein, Vox AC30—and a large collection of Peavey amps like the 6505, XXX, and JSX. In addition to these amp models, these amps feature 11 editable pre-amp effects (All But Vypyr 15), 11 editable rack effects, on-board looper (Vypyr 30, 60, 75, 100, 120), input (Vypyr 30, 60, 75, 100, 120), and USB 2.0 connectivity (Vypyr 60, 75, 100, 120). The battery powered 'Nano Vypyr' was introduced in 2012 as a competitor against other small portable modeling amps like the and Mini-Mustang. The Vypyr 60 and Vypyr 120 amps as well as the Vypyr 120 head feature. In 2013, an enhanced line of Vypyr amps was released. Called the 'Vypyr VIP' series (short for 'variable instrument input'), the VIP 1, VIP 2, and VIP 3 retain all the programmed models of the original Vypyrs, but also possess the ability to serve as acoustic guitar amps, as well as bass guitar amps.

They are also programmable by way of computer software link. TNT series bass amplifiers The TNT Series bass amplifier first entered the market in the late 1970s as a 45-watt combo with one 15-inch speaker. The high-power TNT bass amplifier series was introduced as a 150–200 watt bass combo primarily equipped with a Scorpion or Black Widow 15-inch woofer.

The TNT series was recently updated to 600 watts, under the title Peavey Tour TNT 115. It is currently the most powerful bass combo sold by Peavey.400BH Series Bass Amplifiers The 400 BH power amp module was used in a range of bass amps during the early 1980s, commencing with the MKIII Bass Head in 1979.The MKIV Bass Amp head unit, introduced in 1981, offers a range of functions.

It is air cooled, features protection circuitry, and is capable of around 300/350 watts RMS safely into 2 ohms. The 2 ohm load rating is very stable (this amp actually operates at less than 2 ohms), enabling the use of multiple mix and match speaker systems to improve acoustic efficiency and sound stage options.

In contrast, typical modern musical instrument amps are limited to 4 ohms speaker systems. Circuit board layout is conservative, easy to access, repair or modify. Dynamics and reliability are excellent. Its only weak point is that the preamp and power amp modules are installed in the chipboard cabinet with lack of electromagnetic shielding, resulting in a need to physically separate the amp head from bass pickups and speakers.Windsor series guitar amplifiers Introduced as a low-cost clone of the vaunted JCM800 2203 Master Volume. The internal design is essentially identical to the vintage Marshall, with the exception of using a plate-fed instead of the Marshall-trademarked cathode-follower-based circuitry.Wolfgang and HP2 series electric guitars.

See also:These were a result of a collaboration with to produce his 'ideal' guitar. The design was relatively successful, but did not gain the reputation or popularity of similarly priced guitars such as the or the. The Peavey Wolfgang was discontinued in 2004. Peavey re-introduced the Wolfgang as the HP2 during the 2017 show.The VT series was also popular in the late 1970s to early 1980s. Gary Rossington from Skynyrd played the Mace-VT. There was the Deuce-VT the Mace's little brother, and a Classic VT. The Mace and Deuce were the same amp but the Mace had six 6l6gc output tubes and the other only 4.Hence the Mace was 160 watts and the Deuce 120 wattsControversy In February 2015, the company was featured on an episode of the CBS television show,.
