Anyone own a Peavey 6505+?

4 cables? I can only see 3 inputs on the G string decimator?

Send/Return and then a patch cable going into the Tubescreamer is how i understood i'd need to have it set up?

When i go try this 6505+ i'm taking both my tubescreamer and NS-2 and try to figure out how to eliminate the noise, if i get any from the pre-amp. Then if i end up buying the amp (which is likely) i'll consider getting the ISP G-string.

There are two inputs and two outputs.

The output to the effects loop (marked DEC OUT) is on the left of the pedal (looking down as you are about to step on it) by itself.  On the right side you have the DEC IN (this is the one closest to you), then the GUITAR IN in the middle and the GUITAR OUT at the top on the right side.  If you look at the photo of my set up you will see a 90 degree connector on the left of my Polytune.  This is the cable that ends in a straight connector going into the right of the ISP.  That is the GUITAR IN jack.  The jack above that is the GUITAR OUT, which I have running from there to my MXR CAE Boost/Linedriver pedal with a 2" cable.  The DEC IN has a cable running to it under the EQ pedal, coming from the output on the EQ (the left top of that pedal).  The DEC OUT on the left of the ISP has a cable running from there to the MXR Black Label Chorus.  When I get the EVH Flanger (I suspect that will arrive tomorrow) it will go to that instead.

It's all pretty simple in practice.  If you think the G-String will work for you I'd suggest buying it, and if you have any problems just look over these responses again.  I think I've repeated myself a fair bit.

Yeah i was going by your first photo of the set up which had 3 cables going into, maybe the angles weren't good for me to see the side of the pedal.

Sorry to be a bit slow and stupid its just i haven't used a noisegate this way before so i'm going to get my hands on one and try to follow what you said, i know you're trying to help and feel like you've had to say the same stuff a few times!!

The only real stumbling block for most people is the price.

The best price on ebay is US $226.35.

There are two sellers on there at the moment with that price, including the guy I have dealt with the most, named Mad Ape.  Stuff always seems to get here.

I'm selling my old head so i'd be able to get the cash together for an ISP. Don't the US have high shipping rates? Although a lot of my favourite bands are American and i have to get merch from there, this is for t-shirts however, so not much.

And i do wish the input on the 6505+ head was on the RIGHT side of the amp when you look at it face on, makes plugging in cables a bit neater since i usually play on stage LEFT for the band!

Actually both sellers are currently offering free international shipping if First Class Mail is okay.  They charge more for express options.  When I get stuff from this Mad Ape company it usually takes 2-3 weeks, most of which is getting from Wyoming to Los Angeles or Chicago to get on a plane to Australia.  They give you a tracking number

Thing is i need the stuff before the end of the month, and if it takes over 2 weeks not sure i can wait that long!

And if you weren't aware i'm in the UK!

[Dave Sloven]

Some other sellers are quicker, probably because their business is closer to a major port.  Everything takes a while to Australia. The best we can manage from the UK is ten days

Hmm, well its the first Monday in November tomorrow, so if it takes 3 weeks max so if i order tomorrow i SHOULD theoretically get it on the week i need it, (the shows are on 29th and 30th of this month).

Alternatively if it doesn't arrive in time i still have my NS-2 i could use just for these shows, provided i connect it up properly, lol.
