All user reviews for the Peavey ValveKing 112

Amp lamp 50W, 2 channels (bright / saturated), 3-band equalizer, reverb
-1 Button "bright" for the channel to clear as its name implies to have a brighter sound
-Behind a knob for adjusting the amplifier power (personally I've never touched, it is always at max)
-2 Boost knobs on the overdrive channel: one for saving, one for volume

purchased with a footswitch (not supplied on thomann and other online stores, but the store I was offered)

UTILIZATION

simple setup. love me all the seller explained the operation while I was trying, I did not need the manual (and anyway it is frankly not very complex).

SOUNDS

I play everything (from reggae to hard rock), and I think it suits all. is the entry-level light, we must not expect a perfect sound, but it's still well above a transistor amp.

its really hot, a little saturated fat channel (but I like that). may not be the best amp for playing metal.

bright button brings more that can be interesting in the clear, but I use little. I prefer the warm sound, but for someone who likes the crystalline sounds that can be nice.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year, and I love it. I have not tried other models, there was that I wanted. anyway a tube amp at this price, it's worth it.

I like its simplicity of use, its hot, its price (for cons I think he has grown since I bought € 430 in December 2009 and I saw him this morning on 500 € thomann and other VPC)
I like the sound a little less "bright", but there is no requirement to use them.

with experience and for the same price, I would do without hesitation that choice. I have not found better in this price range since (well it's true that I have not tried either the masses as for me ^ ^)

all-tube amp, 50w, 3-band equalizer for 2 channels + reverb. 2 entry hihg and low. footswicht is in the surplu but alas (like me) your tradesman the stock, you can do to provide

UTILIZATION

the front is one-do-simple. there are only the essentials. regarding the manual, I did not even open (as you say this amp is simple. for the sound, the clean, I had no problem. I found the sound suited me very quickly. ca been saturated for another story. but it was largely on my guitar and microphone treble. for me the 498T the les paul is too powerful and too rough. I then put of ESP LH200 and magically in 3 minutes, clean as saturation, micro bass and treble were set. good must say that even as we speak of a whole lamp is 450 euros. do not expect either the sound of the century. but with better tubes and a better hp, this can become the very good.

SOUNDS

my style of music is blues and rock. but luckily for me I do not listen that ca. regarding the different sound we can get, I alas can not help you. I'm not a fan of Dufait tweak the amp to get the sound of a particular group or person. I uses a les paul studio connected directly. I'm still not good enough to have an absolute need for a particular pedal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. he came to replace not a bad marshall mg15fx. since I've heard a lot of amp but when you want an amp with a lamp while good value for 450 euros (except in the 4 or 5 wattt) you do not have masses of solutions. and therein lies the advantage for me vk112 principle. in time for the same budget I would do so this election.
