Peavey 6505 Piranha 20W Tube Hybrid

Peavey 6505 Piranha 20W Micro Guitar Amp Head

Don’t let the size fool you—the Peavey 6505 Piranha is a compact powerhouse that delivers the aggressive tone the 6505 series is known for. Designed as a hybrid amp, it combines a single 12AX7 tube in the preamp section with a solid-state power amp, giving you real tube character in an ultra-portable format.

With a simple front-panel switch, you can toggle between Crunch and Lead modes, covering everything from tight rhythm tones to saturated high-gain distortion. Despite its small footprint, the Piranha delivers serious output—20 watts into 4 ohms—making it more than capable when paired with the right cabinet.

An onboard effects loop adds flexibility for integrating pedals and even allows you to use the Piranha as a preamp driver into another amplifier. Additional features like a headphone output and AUX input make it a great option for practice, recording, or as a backup amp.
