Atreyu Rocks Warped Tour with Peavey 6505™ Guitar Amps

Bleeding Through, Story of the Year also using Peavey on tour Hardcore metal band Atreyu has seen the barrier between metal and punk rock fans dissolve in recent years, and it's never been more evident than during this summer's Warped Tour. "Heavy music is in a great place right now, compared to five, maybe six years ago," says guitarist and Peavey 6505 endorser Travis Miguel. "There are bands popping up everywhere, and they're all really good." Atreyu is leading the movement of metal/hardcore hybrids who have won over both fist-pumping Ozzfest devotees and Warped Tour punk rockers. The band has played to both camps—Ozzfest in 2004 and Warped Tour now—while touring its crossover album The Curse with its stacks of road-tested Peavey 6505 guitar amplifiers. "My 6505 amp been shipped all around the world for two years and sounds great," says co-guitarist Dan Jacobs. "The 6505 has a really gainy, heavy tone to it. You can rip people's faces off with the gain on only 3 or 4." "Dan shreds, but I'm more of a textural guitarist," offers Miguel. "I'm always drawn toward guitar parts that are unique and interesting. The 6505 caters to what I do because it's so powerful. You can tweak some really bright clean tones, and it also has that middle crunch channel, which gives you an in-between distorted tone. It covers all the grounds. It's a key element to our live sound—it really comes through for us." 6505 Series amps feature five 12AX7 preamp tubes and four 6L6GC power amp tubes, with presence and resonance controls and three-band EQ for taming their notorious tone. These amps are available in a standard 120-watt head (6505 and 6505+) and a 60-watt 2x12 combo with two Peavey Sheffield(R) loudspeakers (6505 212). The matching 6505 412 cabinets are outfitted with four Sheffield loudspeakers. 6505 Series amps are the undisputed go-to guitar amps for scores of rock, hardcore and metal bands due to their raw tone, relentless power and road-proven reliability. The 6505 is the amp of choice for an ever-expanding list of endorsers, including 3 Doors Down, Ted Nugent, Steve Morse, In Flames, Visqueen, HIMSA, Darkest Hour, Sworn Enemy, Unearth and many more. Peavey endorsers Bleeding Through, Story of the Year and Scary Kids Scaring Kids are also playing dates on the 2005 Warped Tour.
