curious about these. a cheap class A A/B tube amp!
if i ever bought a cheap half stack i was thinking of this. i've never actually played one though, so i'd like to know what anybody's thoughts are on them.
anyone tryed this peavey valve king head (is it good ??) ???? What would be a nice cab to go w/ it cause i heard the matching peavey cab isn´t very good ?
ps: I went to try one my self yesterday but they didn´t have one in store
Great amp for the price you pay. Add a Framus 2x12 cab with Vintage 30 speakers and you got a great setup for small money!
thanks zakk but I was going to buy from dolphin music store in england , but i just checked there web site and they don´t have farmus cabs :S
THese are the cabs they have in store is anyone nice ?? ( for a nice price )

edit: btw can this amp do metal (without the use of pedals )?
What is your Pricerange?
(and yes 4x12 are certainly more awesome but also heavier and more expensive!)
As you see it can do Metal pretty well, if you need it even heavier then try the Peavey 6505+ 112 combo that's coming out next week (the head is too expensive for you I guess, it's more than twice what the valveking costs)
something like700 - 800 euro but the less the better ( I can stretch till 900 euro ) I would really like it to be a 4x 12
Nice vid do you think the peavy correponding cab is nice ?? ( I bealive it is kinda cheap priced witch is nice )

I don't know if that's the right approach; buying a cab that's more expenisve than the actual head... I would rather buy the best possible head and a small, good sounding cab for now (you can always upgrade later)...
To me it's: TONE>LOOKS
For 700 Euro you can get an Orange 4x12 cab (they are also avalable in black) or a Marshall 1960 AV cab, they bot sound great and are professinal cabs used on stages and in studios!
You are rigth so would it be better to buy a difrrent better head ??
it's good for 500 Euro BUT it is only a 500 Euro amp, it won't sound like a 1000-1500 Euro amp, not even with the best cab you can buy!
What is you overall limit of cash you can spend and what kind of sounds do you want from your amps (styles, bands, etc)
I want to have a nice MEtal tone (pantera and MEtallica kinda thing ) and also would like to bring the gain down a bit to get a nice Hard rock tone (guns and roses tone ) ... and IF it had a nice clean channel it would be great ( to get some jimi tones out of it )
That still don't tells us what you are willing to spend on Amp+Cab together, so that we can gather some ideas for your future setup...
I bealive I´m willing to spende kinda 1000 euros for both (amp+Cab ) , that´s why o tougth of the peavey valveking ..
That leaves a tight budget for a quality 4x12 and a good tube head...
Best choice if it HAS to be a 4x12 cab is buying a used one with V30 speakers to save some money and pair it up with a newly bought Valveking head from the store...
what if it was a 2x12 ??
That would make this little baby (not the coolest look but great sound and awesome price/value ratio):

Other amp suggestions besides the Peavey would be:
http://www.thomann.de/de/engl_e325_thunder_head_topteil.htm
http://www.thomann.de/de/laney_gh50l.htm
http://www.thomann.de/de/bugera_333_xl.htm
Problem is that most of the professional heads start at 1000 Euros and the good 4x12 cabs at atleast 600 Euros... You could get a far better setup if you were willing to save a bit more money!
thanks Zakk I will think about it
Im using a VK half stack atm. I absolutely love it. Great thrash tones and a super heavy low end. I never really could get great lead tones out of it but that might just be me. Great cleans, i absolutely love it overall. Although I don't have too much to compare it to. I actually just played a show last night using the VK and we have a video of it. Ill post the video in this thread as soon as i get it. you can use it as a sort of sample. All i use is a bit of compression.
Weren't you the Krank-Enthusiast Smikey?
Thanks smikey, what cab do you use ??
btw: do you think you can post the video tonigth ?? (cause if you can´t I will only be able to see it next week :S )
..
Would a LANEY GH50L w/ GROOVE TUBES EL34 or a Crate Blues voodoo 120 w be good for the kind of tones i want (better than the peavy ??) ( cause o found this deals -- » http://seixal-setubal.olx.pt/en/amplificad...vo-iid-81765900 http://almada.olx.pt/en/amplificador-de-gu...-iid-79969009)?? and would it match the framus cab nicely ??
?
Crate isn't a great company overall from what I heard and played: cheap quality and bad tone. Dunno about the voodoo series though.
The Laney might be better but how are we supposed to know what you will like more?!? Go out and play the amps!
