Robb Flynn
vocalist & guitarist for Machine Head
Robb Flynn's Amplifiers
According to a Peavey article from April 2012 celebrating 20 years of the 6505 amp, Robb Flynn is a longtime user of it:
"Machine Head’s Robb Flynn has used the amp since the recording sessions for his band’s debut, Burn My Eyes, in the early ‘90s. “We were trying to get a modern, heavy tone,” he said. “And when we came across [the 6505], it was crushing. It’s got a really incredible midrange growl that works so well.”"
In the article note the question that asks how robb got his high gainy sound on the "Unto the Locusts" record. He mentions his 5150 amp goes into a Marshall cabinet. And on the DVD for the making of the record, he is seen micing his 1960b cabinet.
He says what he used on the Unto The Locusts record in one of the questions and it was a 5150 amp head. You can also see this set up on the making of dvd.
