Help me with tube amps, please...
Hi to all!!! I own a Peavey ValveKing 212 Combo... it seems it has't got dynamic in drive channel, so I decided to change it (I like the clean sound, but I find that in overdrive channel the gain control works in a strange way: there is not chunch... it seems it works as an on/off switch,..., no distortion or full distortion... and with the volume of my guitars (a USA Strat with JBjr. in bridge position and Li'l59 in neck position and a Les Paul Standard) I can't set the amount of gain...
I've seen Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 Combo and a Marshall MA50H (a Chinese made head)... I used to play a Marshall JCM 900 50W 212 Combo, so with Marshall I feel like being home, but I am not shure about the quality of this "entry-level" head. About Fender, instead, I think versatility and both good clean and overdrive sound could be the right choice (I've found an ex-demo Fender that costs about 150 $ less than the new Marshall "half-stack").
I play everything: I play in a Cranberries cover band and then in a rock band (we go from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Aerosmith and from CCR to Ozzy...).
I like the amp sound: I mean,..., I use a Boss Chorus, Boss Overdrive, Dunlop Cry-Baby and Digitech Delay (all stomp-boxes)... I don't know what amp to buy... I am scared to make the mistake I have made with Peavey (and it is hard to gain money, so, why to spend it in a wrong way): I sold my JCM 900 for a Flextone III of Line6 (and that was my first mistake), then I decided to buy a cheap Peavey tube amp (and that's my second mistake...).
Thank you for the attention!
