I've heard of it. Anyone famous use one?

I am hoping that one day I will do a show that will require me to bring it.

Something like this? Ok it's not the official cabs but they sound good paired with the 6505!

fuck "requiring," I've seen bands in tiny bars rocking two 6505 fullstacks

As an 5150 combo owner I have always been curious of the full stack sound.

True. And they likely not only looked ridiculous, but sounded terrible.

Like the combo on steroids.

If any of you mere mortals are looking at one of these monster sized rigs proceed with caution. If you are in a 1 guitar band you will be fine. If you are in a 2 guitar band you better warn your other guitar player because unless he is playing through something like a Dual or Triple Rectifier full stack he won't know what hit him.
This rig DOES NOT play well with other guitar amps. Its the Pitbull of guitar amps. Better yet.. its the 426 Hemi Dart of guitar amps. People see the name Peavey. They might think.. huh.... a starter amp but it looks pretty big. Then you hit a chord and their clothes fly off and their ears start bleeding. I think you could probably make waves in a pool if you played next to one.

Lastly... I have owned the Soldano SLO100. If you want one but you only want to spend around $600.00 used for the amp.. get a bone stock 2 channel 5150. Signature or block letter. It doesn't matter. They are identical. The only difference is the block letter was the 1st version and the rumour was they came with higher quality tubes that didn't last that long.

I threw my trusty Cyborg Digital Destiny Delay in the loop along with a stock LPB-1 linear power booster. I control them from the stock Peavey footswitch that turns the loop on and off. Turns this full stack of doom into an outstanding stadium loud amp for the lead guitar player. Did I mention how incredibly loud and full this full stack sounds? Its incredible. I don't play super heavy metal or death metal but if I did.. this would be what I would use. No question. The only full stack that could hang with this monster that I ever used was the Mesa Triple Rectifier full stack using the oversized Mesa 4 x 12 cabs.
I love the look on my bandmates faces when they walk into my studio and see the wall of amps and cabinets I own. They ask.. where are all your guitars? I tell them its not about the guitars.. its about the amps.

I just picked me up a 5150 this past weekend. It was really hard to refuse buying it for $400 and through my two Soldano 4x12 is really overkill.

$400 is a great price for a 5150.

Even @ 999$ for a brand new 6505, I still think it's one good deal for a new amp.

+1. If you look around you can sometimes find them new at a pretty nice discount. I got my 6505+ brand new for $936 in 2012.

Why does this thread remind me of this:
