The definitive modern high-gain sound
The Peavey 6505 is widely considered one of the most influential metal amplifiers ever created, heard on countless landmark albums and still used by top players worldwide. The Synergy module distils that legacy into an accessible all-tube platform, faithfully reproducing the amp’s biting mids, tight lows and articulate upper harmonics. Whether you're performing classic groove metal riffs or precision-focused modern metal, the module delivers the unmistakable feel of the original amplifier.
Dual channels for authentic 6505 versatility
Each of the two identical channels includes Crunch and Lead voicings, allowing you to flip between bluesy breakup, muscular rhythm tones and saturated leads. Players can set up mirrored channels for independent gain staging or create contrasting tones for rhythm and lead work. The intuitive control layout mirrors the real amp’s straightforward design, making it easy to dial in mix-friendly tones with minimal effort.
Cathode Select tailoring for tightness and feel
The three-position Cathode Select switch fine-tunes the input tube’s bass response and dynamic feel. Mode 3 recreates the original 6505 behaviour, yielding tight attack and controlled low end perfect for palm-muted riffing. Alternative modes offer broader, looser response options, giving players more flexibility depending on their guitar, tuning or playing style. This makes the module adaptable across genres while keeping its iconic voice intact.
All-tube design with modular flexibility
Powered by two 12AX7 valves, the 6505 module retains the organic aggression, touch sensitivity and harmonic density that digital models can’t fully capture. Compatible with both Synergy preamp docks and older Egnater/Randall modular systems, it drops easily into any modular setup. Whether used for direct recording, live performance or as part of a multi-module rig, it delivers uncompromising 6505 tone in a compact, professional format.
