After nearly a week with my new Valveking, I have to say that I finally understand all the hype about tube amps. I love the tone and playability of my new amp and I'm equally impressed with how it sounds running through my avatar 4x12. I was just sitting around jamming to some Tool and I...

My Cliff single-button footswitch arrived today... I was pretty excited because now not only do I have my first all-tube amp, but I can switch channels without touching it! :) Anyway, I plugged it in to the back of the amp only to find that the single button only switches the gain boost on and...

So I got a Valve King 1x12 combo for Christmas today and I love it! I think I'm going to have to become a tube amp man from now on. The cleans are awesome and I get some great heavy sounds, but I haven't had a chance to really crank it yet... I'll have to wait 'til the parental untis are out...

Can anyone tell me about this amp? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/481442/ I've read some good reviews and looked up the specs, but I haven't heard it and there's no music stores near where I live. Can anyone tell me about it, because I'm looking for a new...

I'm looking in to getting a head to pair with my Avatar 4x12 that I purchased last year. I've been running a Squier practice amp into it, but as you would imagine, it sounds horrible. I know most people here will tell me to get a tube amp, but the fact is, I want something I can play loud and...

I think my Avatar cab that I just ordered is faulty. It arrived on Thursday and I opened the box it was in for my birthday on Sunday. I proceeded to plug my squier practice amp (15 watts) into the cab and the volume was extremely low. With the amp volume at ten, the amp was loud. But...

Hey, guys. I've asked for a lot of help in the past and I appreciate it. Thanks for all your help. My Avatar cab arrived this morning- -Slant, metal grill, carpet, casters -8 ohm mono (two inputs) -V12s bottom -70/80s top I can't open the box it came in until Saturday when my family and I...

Hey, guys. My birthday's in less than a week and for my gift from my parents, they are helping me purchase an avatar cab, which I intend to order tomorrow via phone. Here is what I plan to order- Slant 4x12 (metal grill) Eminence v12s (bottom), Celestion 70/80s (top) 8 ohm mono...

Hey, guys. I currently have a squier practice amp with an 8 ohm line out. I have enough money for an avatar cab if my parents help me buy it (as a birthday gift). I want a head next but won't have enough money for about 6 months. Will my amp run through an avatar 4x12 at 8 ohms or do I need...

Hey guys. I've pretty much decided to purchase an Avatar 4x12 (slant) with 2 eminence v12s and 2 celestion 70/80s. BUT, my next purchase (after that) is a head. I play everything from Hendrix to Green Day to Tool to Slayer. Which would be better, in your own opinions-...

I was really waiting forward to its release. Check it out. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=040319200823064005174175706469/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/480114/ It seems very cool. Whenever someone gets one, let me know. I'd love to hear a review. Peace. G.I.
