Re: 6505 20W Mini Heads...
Being myself an owner of a 20 Classic MH, I must disagree here: it depends very much on the tubes/valves used here. It is also not really a dark sounding amp, rather warm- but not dark. The JJ tubes are by far worse sounding than any nice old stock tubes I tried in this little fellow. JJ are also really muddy, maybe therefore your impression of dark sounding?
Mine was also out-of-store way too hot biased by Peavey so that could also could have reduced the headroom...
For metal players 6505 is shurely a better choice. With Classic 20 MH one should use one or another pedal to let it "sing" properly, as it isn't a metal amp, despite quite a lot od distortion of the lead channel.
