Well they only had a combo of the JSX as they sold all there 1/2 stacks. So I decided to spend some quality time with the 6505 plus.
After about 1/2 hour, I think this amp is not for me. The clean channel in my opnion is terrible. Well for what I want it to do it is. I can hear something in there it would be usuable for someone. One thing I noticed since this time I turned it up a bit louder is the drive channel is not clear. It has good tone but seems to be very muddy. I like the tone I hear but if I owned it, I would have to take it to someone to clear it up. I like to hear my finger squeeks and string ring. I also like to hear air. This thing doesn't do any of that well. Maybe better speakers or a better cab. I don't know what it was but it's not as good as the JSX. If I was going to get a Peavey amp, the JSX would be the only one in a 1/2 stack. The 6505 is just not my cup of tea. I have heard many bands using them with awesome tone. But I assume plugging straight in with a Les Paul Studio, Schector Screamer and a Fender American Strat with a Humbucker in the bridge wasn't enough to allow me to hear the clearest of clear.
O well. I'll have to wait for the JSX 1/2 stacks to come in and try again. The trip wasn't a total loss for me as I didn't notice the Studio Gibson Les Paul. They are on sale for 999.99 now and I played a killer white one with black trim and gold hardware. Sweet guitar. The Schector with EMG's just sucks. I don't like it no not today nowhere no. The Strat well it's a strat and great as they all are. Love em.
