Peavey Valve King ?

Re: Peavey Valve King ?

I got the 1x12. This thing is actually pretty nice. The reverb, now that I've listened to it a bit more, is a bit stale, but it's a short tank so that's to be expected but you can get a nice overdrive tone out of it by barely turning the gain up on the second channel and using your volume knob to dial back the gain for a clean tone.

I don't know about the 100W one, but I listened in while a buddy of mine tried out their little combo. It was a pretty sweet little amp for the price. He was able to get some decent metal tones out of it.

I had the 50w 1x12 for about 2 months. Cleans were nice, distortion
was decent. I thought the tone was a little on the thin side by itself
so I ran an EQ pedal through the effects loop and it improved my
opinion of the amps tone a lot. Only downside was I like to run a little
heavy on the bass and at louder volumes it was a bit too much for
the stock speaker. This should be a non-issue if you're looking at the
head though. I have read on the Peavey forums about the small delay
on the footswitch so take that into consideration.
I ended up selling it to my father-in-law and bought a 120w XXX 2-12
and couldn't be happier.
