For those comparing, the 5150/6505 and 3120/XXX are very different amps. Both have their place. The 6505 has a chunkier, more raw sound, but far less versatile due to its lack of a true clean channel. 6505 loves scooped tones and its midrange is a bit painful.
The 3120 has PRISTINE clean tones - something rare in Peavey amps aimed at rock / metal, and more gain than you would ever realistically need. The mids are very defined and emphasizes the frequencies that SHOULD be pushed, even for metal

Every single one of the reviews I've seen with this dude absolutely suck...Kinda like those "High Gain Amp" videos "featuring" that dude from Thousand Foot Crutch and Misha Mansoor...

I bought this amp running through an Orange PPC412 for my daughter. Fuckin brutal sound!

I own a Peavey 3120 w/6505 Cab...It Rocks!

@omgScrub i believe (correct me if i'm wrong) that's the purpose of the damping switch
-
@fantasyh I agree. I do not like the no mid tone at all! It has no body to it, it sounds hollow.

DAT F'KIN RIFF!!!

@IllStayGoldForever22 I've never tried P3120 or the P6505"+", but both P6505 and MB Dual Rectifier sound great! I hope this helps... ^^

@MetallicaAnders You obviously have never played with a drummer. The midrange is vital to a guitar tone, and having mids set at 0 is just plain stupid. The guitar is an instrument that fits in the middle of the frequency range, so having a lot mids is a good thing. When playing with drums, having low mids just leads to increasing the volume which isn't a good solution, because you're not punching trough the mix, you're just bluntly overpowering the other instruments.
