All user reviews for the Peavey ValveKing 112

The bte: 2 3 12AX7 6L6
50w that sound, two channels, an effects loop, reverb does everything said below, no master! (-1 Hop)

UTILIZATION

It's a great amp, great for work at home, strong enough to live on.
the manual is clear, but useless ... Just spend some time finding a good sound

SOUNDS

I play mostly Grunge (Alice In Chains, Soundgarden) and the heavy old (Black Sabbath, Led Zep) and this amp fills me, I sometimes parfoit to play metal (BLS, Dream Theater, Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura) follows but is better to have a good distortion.

first the clean: not expect a crunch Marshallian albeit with a micro high-output tone zone like we can make out a slight crunch. the lens is clean, clear, really great! (Parcontre always leave the bright otherwise -> Sound boiled)

the distortion: some say it's actually a swarm of bees, I find it really good, you can switch between the guns and ACDC Van Halen, Maiden, Soundgarden.
I have no problem for the grunge I have my first edition Little Big Muff, Digitech Grunge and my trash / heavy my Shred Master Marshmall.
ptite an OD 855 of Ibanez (tube screamer like) and nikel password.

I like this amp's versatility, its hot, its very special grain and dark.

OVERALL OPINION

This is a great amp, I've since its release, no problem, it's turie.

this is my first all-tube, and he convinced me.
a lot of people think it is a cheap version in 5150 I half of 5150 agree not so cheap!
I intend to do Retube JJ ECC83 in V1, JJ or Svetlana 12AX7 in v2 and v3 in EHX 12AX7 and JJ put two power

-2x 6L6 tube amp to power the preamp 3x12AX7
-50 Watts potato
Class-A or A / B (50 or about 25 watts)
Texture-key at the back and a spring reverb

UTILIZATION

Configuration-simplissime (the manual for morons take new ... in English for me more ...)
"I have a small guitar Ltd EC 50 I am delighted that it becomes trash crunch ... crunch that even clean as a pig on my marshall remains crystalline is magical <3
I think the manual was not used much ...

SOUNDS

-The amp can do almost everything! it's great! I play in a band or you play just a little bit of everything and anything so it suits me: p
As mentioned above, I use an LTD EC 50 it sounds with the fire of God I am so happy!
In clean-get a great lens with my neck pickup and saturated with all the blues crunch through the saturated rock to the very large metal distos
"I love all the sounds especially the metal I took a big slap compared to my marshall MG 30 ...

OVERALL OPINION

"I have the beast for 3 weeks
-The thing that kills it is the potential versatility of the amp is foolproof!
"I tried a Randall and a fender peavey I opted for the most versatile ...
Super-value! We can play in groups as with or without the neighbors sweat ... it unhurriedly
For a lamp-it is really the great class ... so yeah I would do the selection again!

Yet there are very good lights .. I understand too ..

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, against by the sound: S

SOUNDS

I tried very carefully to the Peavey ValveKing 112 (with a gibson LP studio), completely stinks, it's crap Atomic, the sound is completely eaten, we understand anything that comes out ... I recommended to the world tt (strange opinions "extremely" positive to it, like some people have for 8 seconds, that have not even opened the package and already posting a zip on AF through 10/10 .. or else my ears clogged qd I tried it ^ ^ tt in case the Marshall Vintage Modern 2266C after I tried led me ^ ^)
The distortion: the fog .. not really accurate, it looks like a bit of a musty old disto tt a multi purpose zoom prize .. tro is noise.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not recommend this amp lamp low-end amplifier transistor are cheaper that sound better ...
I personally recommend a good Fender HotRod Deluxe or best bcp for almost the same price: a Marshall Vintage Modern 2266C (an excellent amp!) But this is the price of 2 x Peavey.

_PEAVEY Valveking 112 combo
_puissance: 50 watts into 16 ohms
_amplification: all-tube
_effets: a clean channel, a channel reverb saturune

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, just be a little too ...
trs some versatility to my taste: only a clear channel and a channel saturbr /> amp sounds quite effective in vintage
You should also know that tube amps are fragile it is to work at home but should not carry too hard ...

SOUNDS

By discovering this amp I thought: "finally an all-tube super cheap"
I rushed into the first store which I test and the Beast ... big disappointment
Although it feels really heat lamps on the clean channel but trs dificil get a brilliant all round is relatively
channel gives saturated sounds trs crunchy but impossible to get distortion like metal over a single saturation is possible which is a rev limit my taste to an amp in this range

OVERALL OPINION

An all-tube amp low end trs medium (or mdiocre) seri a lack of versatility and power even if there is a need admetre trs good report quality price that made the r Peavey reputation (it is a very light anyway!!)
is an amp that sounds a bit much prs style blues but I grateux deprecated for rock and metal
I personally opt for a Peavey Bandit 112, it is more powerful, cheaper, more versatile (3CH clear, distortion, 3CH) and sends it over a potato mmorable has to cry your neighbors!

Amp tt lamps refer to the notice above for more details

UTILIZATION

I for my part I have really taken the time to read the manual for the advice he gives about chaufage lamps and other stuff I did not know because this is my first amp lamp tt! ! In short what I found interresting that is in the manual it gives factory settings and frankly they are terrible then honestly take the time to read it!

SOUNDS

So the debate is binding so I have a predominant style of music that is funk or rock or blues and yes I play or at least I 'm trying to play the hendrix, rhcp what I like basically! Well actually I understand it, in most guitarists' s absolutely want to reproduce their sound and not try to find his own sound! I justify myself: you play live in front of your teacher and then they tell you "that is not bad" but when you were in the chorus nikel much as in rhythmic riffs but it lacks one thing and the fair that is the interpretation, how you feel the song? And there's your sound that will make a difference in your guitar amp of your belongings! everything that you have chosen these products and not another! For that I would put it 10 not marshall the sound of fender or peavey but of it can be great for some but not me she conveint perfectly!

OVERALL OPINION

it's been 6 months that I use it! Before buying it I have to try a fender hot rod, a Marshall JCM, a blues junior watss 15 (he has a pattate!), A h & k, a line 6, a vox ADV50 ... I wanted to see short and he came in my budget so I have taken! But just one last thing a modeling amps are not worth a tt lamp while you were making as a 30 watt or 50 or even 15 you do not care, that is a lamp and a transistor and not just for that There are many who are jealous so it worth to save and do not forget it is your sound that makes the difference and that we want to hear from you! for that value for money of paevey is a good alternative! And yes I do it again this election because that is the sound that I wound and not another!

Dimensions (HxWxD): 18.25 "(464mm) x 21.38" (543mm) x 10.25 "(260mm)
Weight: 44.5 lbs (20.23 Kg)

UTILIZATION

Configuration quite simple but it takes a few before you get trying to find a good sound, especially with the hot violin ...
The manual is not used much, it just teaches people do not possdant amp lamp before it is heat, but gnral we know before buying ...

SOUNDS

This amp should all styles, except mtal really nag o death and will miss potato in distortion.
It dmarque particulirement in the old middle gain rock sounds like acdc, Dire Straits, Deep Purple ... If you are looking for modern hi-gain, is dead (except with pedals).
To reassure some, it can send the metallica no problem on the gun's too.
The reverb is good but do not push it too much, if not become a "lousy".
In low gain, the sound is great for blues.
The clean is exceptional for an amp of this price is the strong point of this amp.
on the other hand I advise you to remain in Class A / B, class A is not famous.
I personally always play between the hi-gain, the sound is edgier and more than caractriel between the low-gain

OVERALL OPINION

In short a trs good amp to play rock of 60's and 70's.
Good in blues.
Mtal nag / death: forget ...
At that price it's the best I could test, hybrid transistors and lamps included.

See above!

UTILIZATION

Too easy to use.
We do not need the manual at all (besides it is in English) to get by!
It is easily the expected. But I suggest you stay in Class A.
50w enough (a good potato)!

SOUNDS

I am not a professional but I can say I love all at once.
My first amp c a peavey 15w transistor then the Difference is clear.
I play in a band: pop, rock, funk should have all that jattend.
The clean sound is too good c of the crystal / distortion for I find it efficient trs (warm / round) I enjoy has played on this amp.
I had not blame him it is sufficient (power) if you jou group (I hsiter but frankly with the 212 c too powerful).
on the other hand I will buy a Zoom G9 2TT. C as a good J'espre shuffled with the V112. In short I will tell you ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for 6 months now ... rpeter
I love his serious face and a little mchante (all black) is that it is quite nice: large c ...
No regrets for audio, c vraimen what I expected.
Frankly when I see the price of other amp I going crazy all lamps.
Trs is affordable for the quality I had a 450E in 5150 in Thionville (I fai the pub).
I recommend it to all the world for that matter the other guitarist in one too.
A remake, YES !!!!!

50 all-tube amp w ...
Simple 2 input connector (high gain low gain) in an effects loop SERIES ...
Rglages more sophisticated:
2 channels: an effect clear + bright and saturated and a boost or boost volume
each channel has its equalization
On the back of the amp a knob to switch from Class A Class AB amplifier, and another button to adjust the speaker rponse ... basically allows a amliorer the r response of the amplifier noise level "low"

UTILIZATION

The config is no particular pb
I like the bcp's clear that I found rather enjoyable, warm and musical
The channel is more saturated dlicat rgler my opinion, you get a great overdrive on THE FIRST half of the saturation is more messy then ... I think the boost is cataclysmic (um I'm not hardos metalheads ...) for me is exploitable sat on THE FIRST half of the knob on clean channel and boost ...
Manuel sufficient

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited to the style of music I play: pop / rock ... I'm not a fan of distortion pedals I bought a Boss distortion of
I play with my Vigier Excalibur, I am satisfied with the sound obtained trs
The clean sound is warm trs, trs serious mdium some nice ...
I use the sound rather like a saturated overdrive .. I use almost no boost ..

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 1 month
I love the clear sound bcp, power, rponse and dynamics of the amp
I tried different amp in the same price range mainly transistors amps ..
I consider excellent price quality ratio ke ...
I would do without this choice pb ...

50W all-tube
Speakers 16 Ohm
Possibility to add a cabinet through an outlet on the back of the amp
Line 2 input: High Gain / Low Gain
A knob adjusts the rear of the receiver class or class A or A / B (I personally leave it on A / B when I'm high volume, the amp in my Ragit mieu ...)

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple configuration ... You turn the knob and the sound changes ... ^ ^

This is obtained her ass easily, especially on the Mids, who can sound hollow trs, trs or Submitted (We go from black album metallica the good old rock full of mids without problem .. .) Grain of the amp sounds more punk rock than heavy metal to me ...

I put the manual in direct recycling to the store to buy APRS ^^...

SOUNDS

Well then, I type a lot in the Rock / Hard Rock and especially in the metal genre of Shadows Fall up to Metallica, In Flames ... And I never had to worry about finding a good sound. Parcontre, expect to mount the volume up to half for a good sound, it was down more or less beautiful ... But that's all lamp eh! I play guitar with a low range (200 euros) Type Fender Start (copy), and I get a respectable sound trs! I test with a gibson SG faded ... Oula a vamp! This small ValveKing has it when he gets angry! ^ ^

The sound is not saturated's richest market has ... sounds more acute than anything else, but it's one that I love (a gain lev, you can get a ultra-aggressive attack with this amp! is a rgal: P) If the nickel-chrome is clean, rich, and fat both crystaline ... This is happiness! Even if I board not thoroughly test the channel!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp since ending for four months, and I would resume this amp without hsitation if mine ever break. The report is extraordinary qualitprix (remember that it's all light!). I just assay peavey prs every transistor in the same price range, and a few more fender laney ... The silent ValveKing the best! Personal saturated channel is for me the best functionality! I play heavy metal, even without the''activated''gain boost ... (I confess that if A becomes draft). In short, a good first amp trs lamp new in this area! Scne for the RPTES or apart, this amp can do anything. Even if he may be accused of having a more or less interesting low volume, this little lamp''King''has it all!

All Tube Amp 50 watts
its a clean one distortion over a gadget or two to change the sound

UTILIZATION

Easy configuration, clear manual! To get a good sound c is different!

SOUNDS

I've used the strat with us, and deception .... the sound seems to compress and does not make the nuances of the guitar! Al use the clean sound can become acceptable, the distortion is quite 'hard' but it is quickly drowned in a horrible brew, I did the test by experienced musicians: same conclusion

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in July, sold last week by selling off the price! J have opted for a classic 30 ocas d: as the price bonheur.pour the ValveKing is drinkable but better save a little and buy something else, the game worth it! has strongly discouraged.

All Tube Amp (three 12AX7 PREAM, two 6L6GC amp.)
50 watt, between high / low gain.2 channels (footswitch optional)
additional HP output, effects loop, tuning class A or A / B.
equalization three bass / middle / treble per channel
bright touches of clear channel and boost the gain saturated.
simple and fairly comprehensive.
a reverb (spring!)
I put 8 in the config, because the fooswitch and sold separately (45 euro!)

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, the manual seems supperflue.
I find it versatile enough funk to metal to jazz, its settings can be found easily with a little patient in the beginning, then it becomes intuitive very quickly.
served with me on a Cort X6 (guitar entry-level). it sounds great and has expressed wonder that ds is pushed a little volume. I test with an Ibanez JEM, ... but happiness.
guide rather rock, metal, it is a comfortable throughout and I love her look half way between the vintage and modern.

SOUNDS

Clear channel I really like the dynamics of the lamps has much to do, I just play the blues with a sound a little thick but very slamming on the medium, a crunch is just that the volume is a bit strong, j Pressing j'obtient instantly bright and crystalline sound and sharp (though even when funk!) without changing my settings.
saturated channel is amazing, its gain is very resonable for rhythm a little hard 80 'on the board, the boost button, adds gain and it becomes very metal with a volume boost option for the solo, it's pens .
Only flaw I find that the settings bass / medium / treble lacks a bit of my efficacitsa gout.cela allowed me to test the effects loop with an equalizer and a delay I find my sounds without problme.je the reverb is pretty average overall.


OVERALL OPINION

Let's be honest, to have a 450 euro all-tube amp and new, is already a miracle.
so do not expect a correction or a Mesa Boogie-Fender supersonic!
but frankly, I let myself be seduced by its sound and versatility.
in short I think it's a very good amp for a reasonable price, power and more than enough for me (I hesitated with 212), and especially you have a lamp and a time we are taste ..... it's magic!
the big minus is the footswitch in options, peavey but do not give it sells well!
once again the only advice I just give is: go try it

God Save the rock

Really surprised! a party based in the city for testing known blues amp, I say good, that is really cheap, would still try it! I took a slap, now I'm in love. It should really be more famous, with that power and that price, you'd think an amp is: yeah, cool There's the power to play in groups or for small scenes, but the sound will not follow. But following its outright ^ ^ A good try, so even out of curiosity!

EDIT: I was trying it with a friend (who has an Orange, him) he plays jazz and Jimi, he was also pretty amazing amp for the price. He advised me after trying all the same a Mesa Boogie to see the difference, but when we do not make a € 2500 in an amp, it's the foot (small bracket to show that I am "not the only crazy "to think that the VK is )" rel="ugc noopener" target="_blank">-loop effects.
A-knob the back of the amp to change the class: A or AB (A = less volume but more hot, AB more power with less heat)
-Dimensions: 51.86 x 66.62 x 27.98cm.
-Weight: 21kg.

I see no reason to 9!

UTILIZATION

This is a great amp!
You branches, no matter how you turn, it sounds good!
It's best that you familiarize Hyper fast (or I've become a pro setting with my MG30: D)
As I tried in the store, I did not have the manual, and it not stop me to adapt myself in 3 minutes.
3-band EQ. One for each channel. It really works
A boost per channel for Bright Light, Drive Boost for Lead.

SOUNDS

It's great! This amp has all the sounds!

Clean: he held. I played Little Wing version of snapping with the boost of Bright (gloss?) And it was great.

Lead: Super too. I do not know if it can reach the limit of saturated clean a bit, but it can really saturate slightly. It can also send heavy, I''ve tested my most incisive solos. I've shot with a deep (less than medium) swollen with acute low at noon. It was like I wanted: a good big bluesy.

It's funny about this amp I turned to ISPM times but every time I adapt the sound: in any case, it "manages"

OVERALL OPINION

What I like least about this amp is that it lacks two knob from a Big Brother. It would have been the height of the module! Already, I was really all sounds with this thing.
The lights are. From hot!
I tried a lot of models. And I think what is best for me, it's still the amps that are not used to play the blues to play! Because I tried a Hot Rod, and I do not like the grain: sharp, even in a low tone, treble and midrange and bass stuffing. This one is all on good deep fat.
I like the fact that it saturates, because I use all the same sometimes for solos pêchus well.
If I put 10 across is that I believe that although not perfect, I do not find him defects, the sound is very well everywhere (But it is not Mesa! But Why this comparison is not the same product line!) and I consider that to the price (450 nine bullets, ca not vary much), we can not do better (10 so)

Tube amp

UTILIZATION

APES test benches and on video ads right my choice was left facing corespond this amp for my budget, but once tried store blah blah blah blah ....

SOUNDS

What a disappointment really, even my old peavey renown 212 sounded better.

Who am I to overdrive sounds warm and round, bluesy rock and I saw my budget on the rise and I finally took a mesa express 5:25 (yes in price, more like)

OVERALL OPINION

Well just tried the store, but is sufficient to get an idea, I am disappointed.

lover of blues, go your way ....

All lamps, 50w 2 channels. Connectivity standard, very coomplète. Very light for an all-tube, which can be worrying in terms of sound projection (even if we speak of "open back").

UTILIZATION

Very light, easily transportable and very durable (some concerts with this machine).

SOUNDS

Clear sound very neutral. I personally prefer to go from bright. Boosted channel seemed blah from the start. There are still potential in this amp. The whole debate is to identify the weak point: preamp, power amp or hp? I heard a lot about the power amp section as the weak point. I think that in terms of projection and dynamic, the real weak point is instead the hp. Also note that the preamp has 3 lamps. Compare with any other all-tube ... Is obtained at all major saturax (and I emphasize "big") with only three lamps preamp with other amps. Control of texture is a real fun (no big changes). The sound lamp is more about the clean sound for my taste. For saturax, 100w head seemed better.
However, I love this machine because it works a hell of a blackstar ToneLab or, for example.

OVERALL OPINION

For a small price, you get a tube amp, which offers a wide dynamic transistor (same price), and will be less capricious with a pedal or preamp distortion, high volume (compared to a classic 30). I will try maybe one day an upgrade (hp and EL34 instead of 6L6). Now, no need to compare it to a mesa that is 3-6 times its price. If we play like this: nothing beats my 2210 Marshall JCM800 stack, not even a boogie! But now, I can not always pick the stack, and I never found the equivalent combo.

I've had or tried tons of tube amps: 100 212 Rivera, brunetti star-t-rack, while of course marshall, peavey classic 30 and Delta blues, engl thunder 50 and powerball screamer classic, Mesa Dual Rectifier and f50 , fender ... Good stop. They are typed, can do some things and other assets less assets. In the light blues amp, peavey classic series already, so the ValveKing is vested in something more modern.
The problem with peavey, amp it's his image "-run" etpremier price. I recall that illustrious guitarists are or have been their sound with these amps economic: Rondat, Van Halen, Jerry Donahue (Hellecasters, what a sound!) Satriani, Steve Morse ... With a little skill and elbow grease for DIYers, we can do things very well with that brand.

Personally, I too ruined by stuff, so I know from experience that it is not necessarily putting a high price you get satisfaction. Let us not forget that the interest of the lamps, in addition to the grain (which I admit is quite absent here), is also and especially for me, the dynamic stage presence. So for me, an all-tube combo, light, less than 500 euro is a bargain, and I probably would do that choice (never two without three).
You can throw an ear on the sound of the machine with an input connected ToneLab instrument Jump (Audio. .. solo and rhythm) and Stratus (Video) on my myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/ letaz59 ( http://www.myspace.com/letaz59 )
