Peavey 5150 II & 6505 Plus Gold Pin Option

Product Details

Want a very smooth rich tone with less grit? This is the Gold Pin Option Retube Kit for the Peavey 5150 II and 6505+. The preamp section uses six ECC83S's with one balanced for the phase inverter in V6. The default power tubes are a matched quad of the JJ 6L6GC's but you can configure this kit to use the JJ 5881's or the Integrated 6L6GC / KT66 Quad by clicking on the "Customize" button!

The Balanced Gold Pin ECC83S is located in V6 farthest from the input jack.

A note about "V" numbers. Some wise guy at Peavey decided to randomly label the preamp tubes, so the V numbers that are listed on the schematic starting from the first position which is closest to the input jack starts with V6, then V1, V2, V5, V3 and V4. The small minority of players who venture into reading the schematics have discovered this and ask why? Good question... They also ask why we refer to the tubes as V1 thru V6 starting with the preamp tube closest to the input jack.

The Answer? It's MUCH easier and less time consuming to explain this to a very small number of players than to explain to hundreds if not thousands of players that you count 6, 1, 2, 5, 3 and 4... So we refer to the V numbers as V1 thru V6!

The bias is "slightly" adjustable on these amps. If you really want to get any set of power tubes biased up properly then swapping the 12K resistor on the bias board to a 6.8K will give a usable window.

Then use a bias probe check and adjust the bias, the factory test points are extremely inaccurate.

If you have done the bias mod and need a bias probe you can find them under the "Related Products" tab.
