Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed for high-gain guitar work, the black 6505 II pairs a 120W tube power section with pre- and post-gain controls, three-band EQ, resonance, and presence. Onboard digital reverb adds adjustable ambience, while footswitchable lead/rhythm switching supports changing channels from the floor. For recording or smaller gigs, the rear-panel power switch offers 30W and 15W modes. An effects loop and multiple speaker outputs give the head further options within a cabinet-based rig.
Strong match
Who this is for

- Recording or smaller-gig work using the rear-panel 30W or 15W power modes.
