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.”"
