NOTICE GLOBAL

I have this amp for a year and I do not hsiter has a ratchet so jav make another choice ... Not chre and good sound quality ... Super report price

All-tube amp, we see them shining even the rear is very nice
100 watts, but not very powerful for a 100 watts, not much has struck a mesa boogie and I think a vox ac 30 rival without difficulty ....
complte hyper connectivity, among 2, an effects loop, 2 speaker outputs with adjustable impdence, it lacks a master but I think I put a volume pedal in the loop effect and it is similar.
All full of rglages a rverb, gain boost and / or volume snap the foot, it is particularly interesting, you can really use it as a 3 channel amp. 9 is due to the lack of master ....

USE

The config is simple but it is a bit difficult at the beginning to find the right sound. with the presence of rglage and rsonnance, it allows you to vary the sound much bass or treble and plus button to the rear which allows be in class A or AB ( or simulate everything, I did not really understand how to work), the result is really impressive. help find the manual 2 departure sounds, clean, rock, metal ... it helps much.

SONORITS

I play a bit of everything, blues, gospel, rock and I like the Mtal (I have a musicman petrucci ...) and in all registers is excellent.
One can get absolutely all types of sounds, nothing is impossible this amp. this amp has a great dynamic and sounds are never aggressive (well, if you know rgler an amp!)
Attention: note like account price, even when it is not a mesa, but I had enough for me for now!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had already at least a week ... lol ok, not much recoil. I tried in stores, backwards because of the reviews I read on here ... I tried all possible amps I believe, and I dsesprai as little financial means acqurir for the amp of my dreams .... what I like about this amp is its price, its quality versatility, dynamics etc. not fault it in light of all these criteria. I was playing on a Pod X3 Live, and then on a 21 tech tri ac, and frankly, it's night and day, I finally a REAL SOUND !!!!! This is excellent! I will continue always dreaming of a Mesa Boogie Mark IV, but as I have not put it in a 2500 amp, I will keep the l. I play on a harley benton 2 * 12 vintage 30, I can assure that I have no problem bass, they are presents but not invasive!
good, I leave this notice to tell everyone has worth to try this amp, and that 100 watts will not make it unusable in daily life, if only one is in house, because I appart understand that a can GNER neighbors.

Everything has already been said, look on the peavey site


except for a gain knob on the clean channel and a switch for the reverb, there is nothing missing in my opinion.

UTILIZATION

Archi simple, Eq responds quite well.

For sound, should spend some time on the set.

SOUNDS

My punk rock hardcore trend, it does squarely against the sound sends too at low frequencies for my taste (especially palm mute).

The clean is very nice and straight, I just wish that there was no gain knob on that channel to do saturate slightly, I'm not too fond of his own.

For channel saturated, it is far from a Marshall JCM, a 5150 or Orange, but at this price, it really sends the block. Used alone palm mute, it sends too much bass, but the bass side, this problem is no longer heard.

I found him a pretty good dynamic with ValveKing 4x12 cabinet (although I admit it does not measure up to her big sisters).

I am also served in my punk / rock less bad, it took I drop the gain to less than half for it to pass.

It is quite suitable for rehearsals and stage, even though I am more a fan of Marshall JCM900, but I love the sound of the guitar peavey.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for about 6 months, we are all very happy in the group (and in our environment), it goes perfectly with a sound of my bass (I made ampeg 3PRO saturate).

Even if I could blame him for the lack of gain knob on the clean and sound a bit cold (especially compared to Orange), this is a killer amp for a very low price (about 450 € the head + 4x12 cabinet) It will delight those who want to pay their first stack.

My very first tube amp and a great one to start with. 100 watts, all tube. 4x6L6 power tubes, 2 channels, hi and low gain inputs, and texture control knob on the back. Basic controls, Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, Volume, Presence, a boost switch for the lead channel and a bright switch for the clean channel.

UTILIZATION

My biggest complain was the effects loop was on the front. I don't know whose idea that was but I've never heard a compliment about the amp for that. Any rack gear would need to be plugged in the back, since it's in the front you have to run it past all the other rack gear and over the amp head to be plugged in the front. Kind of a hassle and looks messy. Other than that it is a good design and very easy to understand.

SOUNDS

I used to be a huge MetallicA freak so I bought this trying to get close to their tone. Originally I was wanting a Mesa Mark III but this really caught my attention. By itself it pulls off great classic rock and some early tones like Maiden, Scorpions, Rhoads, even some early MetallicA. But with a boost this thing really goes wild. Makes this thing very versatile. Blues crunch all the way to metal brutals. The gain is a bit fizzier than say a 6505 but is still no where near the fizziness of a dual rectifier at low volumes. It's a great amp that can pull off many tones.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since sold it but it was a great amp to start on, really taught me about tubes and I had a lot of fun playing with this amp. Had some really great tones but sadly none of them were beyond exceptional. I wanted something that blew me away with at least one thing instead of multiple good things.

The Peavey Valveking 100 is a head that was designed by the company to offer a versatile and great sounding all tube head at a price that won't break the bank. It features two channels, clean and drive. There are fairly standard gain, volume and EQ controls here, as well as some voicing switches to do things like add brightness or change the gain structure. It has a set of master presence and resonance controls for final tone shaping and there is an onboard reverb and an effects loop too.

UTILIZATION

Getting a good tone out of this amp is fairly simple. Peavey uses a fairly classic interface that bridges the gap between British and American styles. I particularly like the strong midrange character that brings out awesome harmonics and overtones, especially on the drive channel. It has a good and useful EQ section for each channel that is quite responsive and works very well. It is a very smooth sounding amp that works well with many guitars and in many musical contexts.

SOUNDS

I've tried this amp with various guitars and can safely say it's equally at home with single coils or humbuckers. The clean channel has a nice Fenderish vibe that gets some added shimmer when the bright switch is engaged. It works well for everything from jazz to RnB styles without issue. The drive channel is a definite gem. It's extremely smooth and defined, with a brilliant singing midrange that just coaxes earthy sustain from the guitar. It works very well for classic or hard rock styles especially if you're primarily a lead player. It doesn't quite have the grunt or tightness for modern metal I find, but you can get some cool classic thrash metal tones here if that's your thing...

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Peavey VK100 is a great and versatilevall tube head for the player who requires some great smooth tones and a strong midrange character. At about $550 new these amps are a pretty sweet deal, especially when paired with a good cab and speakers. Definitely worth a look for sure... Peavey gear as a general rule has been outstanding in my experience.

Guitar amp head 100W all-tube (3 * and 4 * 12AX7 Sovtek 6LG6)
Level connection standards found: 2 jacks output jack footswitch + + HP Slecteur of inpdance of 16Ohms 4ohms for the rear panel for the front and the effects loop and two inputs (High Gain and Low-Gain)
Rglages level, a 3-Band EQ on each channel indpendant classic.

UTILIZATION

It is a joy because there are a few prs anything you want even if it is true that the prfre Mtaaaaal to Jazzzzzz ... From Blues to Rock .. a happening as well because you can really play with the grain of the bte thanks to the button and rsonnance prsence.
The clean sound is clear and round even with EMG 81 that are not yet in a lace. At the level of saturation as explained above is really good, and the possibilities are quite impressive .....

SOUNDS

It should be done all in my style (Black / Death mtal) if only for the grain I think adding an EQ 10bandes to increase the range of sounds.
I play an Ibanez Ergodyne suur EDR470 Micro with EMG 81 in Bridge + Cabinet Behringer BG412H.
The clean sound is really good, and sends what is saturated with a grain well and good fats in mdiums DEFINITIONS. What happiness!
In addition one can vary the sound from the rear panel, a button allows us to move from class A to class A / B

OVERALL OPINION

I reus After a few hours today to try intensive I must say that I'm really sduit. I tried several amps lights before, especially in the Peavey Triple X that does not really sduit, the H & K Warp T silent but my first choice available currently. In fact I tried the Valveking sduit not the versatility of Difference Warp T. APRS reflection of Warp T sending too many in a group with 2 DJ Scratch, a synth bass and a Lumberjack + 2 Voice. The report QualitPrix biensre DCID me buy it. To silence the detractors who think a 500 amp lamps is not possible or it's a scam, I will explain why: The Design gnral not really worked the connectors are not numerous, the buttons are plastic and are the same as on Transtube (Bandit etc. .., the footswith is not sold with (By the way for those who have a Peavey Bandit combo, for example, the footswith be used with the Valveking), Sailing maios sound is Submitted and it was especially that achte a head amp is not?. I do it again this choice the eyes closed. Peavey Congratulations!

- All Tube Amp Sovtek 6L6 and 3 12AX7 4, I put personal in electro harmonix preamp and it gives the fire of the gods.

- For a power of 100W, are pushed up its lamps make up their dynamics in this case to use for home j'utilse a lil combo ampl.

- Standard connectors, two inputs high and lw gain, cabinet jack back and impedance switch, effects loop jack on the front.

- The régalges everything easier, quickly found her over the proposed boost on each channel help much, plus they are Inrush to the pedal, resonance and presence and reverb.

UTILIZATION

- Setup could not be more simple
- Sound in the next minute it was in the after taste.
- No need for manual suaf who acquires a tube amp for the first time

SOUNDS

- I play Heavey / Hard Melodic Metal, but I also like good sound and rock roots, I find my account with the battery of pedals that I

- I play a washburn rise and Seymour Duncan JB and 59, in fact tube distortion Cooltron Bulldog SansAmp GT2, TS9, compressor, chorus, delay / echo, pitch shifter, equ, wha, all on a peavey 4x12 "HP Jensen JS rise royally and have a blast

- The clean is beautiful, well built round, the distortion can be a colder, that's why I changed the lights you preamp, the sound is even fatter than the original ....

- I love everything about this head, I would keep even if I buy another.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four months, I love everything about this head even though I, as I said before, replaced the lamps in the preamp by Electro Harmonix.

I opted for a Randall initially in the same range but at 50 W, I tried this one and I was concquis!

Excellent value for money, thank you to the seller of guitar studio in Lille for their good advice.

I'd re this choice in a heartbeat

All the lamps 100W
Level connections can we find a ready and all the essentials:
footswitch, 2 x guitar, 2 speaker outputs, effects loop ...
We find a little reverb and a super efficient Regleg of presence and resonance
It was also a key "bright" on Channel 1 which allows treble boost (very effective)
It also has a volume boost and gain boost on channel 2 (very practical)

UTILIZATION

Config super simple and effective, each channel has its own equalization there is only reverb and presence / resonance that are in common.
It finds its very easy playing around with the knobs
From blues to funk the punk hardrock ...
Mamuel is very clear even if I did not read ...

SOUNDS

As said previously there is a little ready to any style even if it is more rock axis
The clean sound is extremely clear, precise and profound (what is expected of a tube amp)
The saturation at the top that ca be crunch or push the gain donf to yield fast something like ACDC, clean and flawless!
I use it mainly with my telecaster 62 and OLP Axis
By plugging my wha, chorus my my delay and my compression is great!
I put 10 for the clean channel
8 in crunch
9 in saturated

OVERALL OPINION

I play ssus for a month and a half past
Most are biensur the sound that rips and unbeatable price (less than € 1000)
Try all of fender lights or sound approaches the Valveking for clear sound (super clean)
unbeatable value for money

I copied an pasted the bottom coms because it is full, this amp is really good: the all-tube, 2 inputs, 2 channels ... distortion of a madman ... PEAVEY thank you!

PS: THE LITTLE + THE AMP: STANDBY BUTTON THAT CAN KEEP HEAT LAMPS NOT HEAR HER SMALL STRAY BUT ALSO SERVES TO UNPLUG AND OFF THE AMPLIFIER WITHOUT THE BIG "PLOC" is meant Usually GENIAL: D

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup, I was barely 3 minutes tampering and my sound was perfect!
Comes with a manual (with pages in French, its a pleasure compared to other brands-_-) and the manual is very clear and intuitive, everything is explained, everything is described, perfect!

SOUNDS

I play metal and this amp is PERFECT! We just paid a very heavy distortion, although it right and our sound out beautifully. But I also play the red hot chili peppers and clean the sound is perfect for this typte of zik, and a well-tuned distortion and not too aggressive (at the same time it's the red hots, normal ^ ^) you jpeux that his move to ALL STYLES! A real treat!
Reverb is a built-in amplifier and it sticks very well with all ... I said great!

OVERALL OPINION

I play with for less than a week and I am more than happy!

I bought a Guitar Studio (Home Studio) in Lille with the footswitch and I recommend this store or sellers are super super nice and really know, you do not force the hand or do not when you fuck vs want to try a product: it vs. explike know what you want and shows you the basics of the guitar or amp, it leaves you alone and then you manage everything your own way (it remains at your disposal ds store well on)! Sincerely GO TO GUITAR STUDIO!

I will leave a new one if I ever edit chgt opinion with respect to the amp but I think I would not have to!

I recommend STRONGLY IT IS AWESOME AND FOR ALL OF THE LAMP THAT PRICE IS MORE THAN OCCAZ 'GOLD!

100 Watts into 4, 8 or 16 Ohms
4 6L6GC and three 12AX7 lamps
Two independent channels can be selected at the foot
Independent EQ for each channel
Gain / volume boost the main channel controlled by pedals
Double speaker jacks in parallel
+ Reverb level control
Effects loop with protected entry
Resonance and Presence controls
Weight: 18 kg

All these features are, however, look very misleading!

UTILIZATION

The configuration could not be simpler. A classic. Nothing really new.

SOUNDS

This is where the bottom hurts! How people who claim to be musicians may find this "thing" awesome??

The clean sound is nothing transcendent. Flat, without any personality. However, a good reverb for the integrated improves (slightly) the sound.

Distortion ... My God, how horrible! I never had her as a draft on an amp. To think that all the beautiful lights that shine on the inside are there only to decorate and hide it a poor circuit transistor 1950!

Drowned in the noise, the knobs have little effect on the tone. Position between the minimum and the maximum position, we must focus to see a difference. The various boost is useless, and the volume, even mounted up fails to address the severe lack of power of the head.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this amp for about 4 hours in a Paris studio, mounted on cabinet Peavey XXL, with a guitar Whale "Red Narwhal" equipped with Seymour Duncan. Therefore, the sound is crap that comes out entirely due to the amp head.

For the money (head + cabinet), I would advise players to invest in a good combo of another brand (eg Randall RG200-G3) which I think will be much better quality than the insult to our ears!

PS: and more it's ugly! She did absolutely nothing for her poor ...

See other reviews

UTILIZATION

The use could not be simpler. The knob "Resonance" can easily change the grain of her and get a good sound in a short time. The manual is online but is not used much as the use of this head is intuitive.

SOUNDS

This amp sounds pretty typed but it still gets the "us" without much research. I still have to say is that, although the clean sound is not very warm distortion and she knows how to balance those who are "no relief" did not really bother to listen to and although the sometimes a lack of precision in the neck it **** s. When the "severe lack of power" I think if this amp does not lack anything it's power.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month and before buying I test my home for a week and I think this amp has the best value at the time. Okay it's not a remake but I dual rectify this purchase again if I had to do it again. For those who really do not like the distortion a little distortion pedal goes well with this head.

- 100 Watts Tube (4 6L6 power and three 12AX7 preamp)
- Input passive / active two outputs HP; taken loop effects
- Bass, midrange, treble reverb + + resonance
- Clean and lead channel
- Distortion and bright

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple configuration. However, it will hack for a good hour before finding its sound, but once we got it the thing it's done fairly well and we could find a staff worthy of the name.
The manual is very simple and explains the main fonctoions of each knob.

PS.: I read that some people find simple c ****, chauvinists, factory default, or did they not understand that the knobs could be turned slowly (it's not the two positions ...)

SOUNDS

I play it several styles (rock, pop-rock, and some metal)
Ects in terms of rock and pop-rock is frankly of the ball ... There is the sound easily and it rocks. clean sounds are rich and piping hot, the distortion, not too thoroughly settled sends serious sound. In addition to the reverb and resonance to enrich the sound hobs (only the bright seems to me not exploitable but surely a matter of taste!)
For metal, disto sends a big fat heavy but well defined. Only problem about it, the reverb and resonance. A 0 is too flat, and when you start turning the knobs, do not be abrupt because it quickly becomes TOO! But if you are not nag and that takes two minutes to set it, it's a treat.

I play with an Ibanez RG, a Zoom GFX 3 (a bit ...), and some slight distortion pedal to metal to give me a meuilleur sustain and harmonics richer but even without, they are already easily comes out and 4x12 ValveKing head fit the way forwards to correct!

OVERALL OPINION

I play it since maintenent nine months, and it never made me be good.
I love the sound it out, warmth etc ... Unlike the two negative reviews, I think it's a beautiful lamp!
what I like least is the weight!
I edssayé before a VOX AC 30, which tore bcp but was more expensive, without giving me so much power, and a line 6 Flextone, not bad, but that is not really the kind of amp that m ' has cracked! Otherwise I Agali test Marshall Valvestate or a lot of fenders, but I wanted a double body and Marshall was more expensive (especially for an all-tube) and the sound of Peavey haunted me after ten minutes ( heating time + setup time ... lol)

The report qulité price is correct! For less than 1000 €, it was an amp that sends the steak, reliable, and with his genial!

With the experience I remake that choice again, and would the board (at least try) has everything that one seeks amploi a powerful lamps ... In addition you will remain reasonable in price! The only downside, I will baffle has a cutaway plustot's right pan for better propagation of sound ... It was something else but that!

T says it all
ct power is nothing to say .... is what it takes

UTILIZATION

I go through a multi purpose. I will therefore also a ToneLab lamp.
It's hard to have a good sound. The problem is that if this amp on there was a master volume, I could connect it to the return of the effects loop, but it's not the case and that is the bottom hurts ....
It must be corrected again and all sounds a larsne more ...
not this terrible ct l.
Was no manual so can not comment ....

SOUNDS

Bin for my part I play a little bit of everything but rock plutt ax and it is true that an amp that should rather what kind of music.
However, some speak of blues ... for those who love them I deprecated ... I replaced my hot rod deluxe with this one because I wanted to have a machine just more rock, but even when we see the diffrence .....
the hot rod much better reverb and the sound is much warmer and round ...
the peavey is a little cooler and mtallique ....
cost.
I put 7 on the rock and no more because frankly I find the reverbs ugly ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two months that I use
I prfre the particularity is the fact that a rock sound trs ..
The report price is unbeatable quality
I blame the most is really the master volume is missing normment otherwise it would be the top ....
I turned on the hot rod for quite some time ... and I miss a bit ... I'm not but I admit that the compltement clear sound and crunch c'tait the top unlike the l. ... to see if the marshall gnralement that sounds more rock and blues as well located .----
Do not buy a moment of madness, not to cost before possibly be of ..
dernire one thing ... I bought the 4x10 cabinet home peaveyu that goes with it and I'm not sr have made the right choice ... almost the same price for a 2x12 y'avait clestion quip and I think I should have taken that ... it sounds a sr but plutt aggressive suave ..... was seen to baffle ....
overall it was a little amp for the price that ranks rather well overall but with a sound so I really SPECIFICATIONS RPET costs before buying ... . has little dcevoir

All Tube Amplifier Head 100w (4x 6L6GC and 3x 12AX7/ECC63) manufactured in China (very slight negative detail)

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, the knobs (plastic hum) with their role and the scale it is sufficient to settle over his desires.
The sound is achieved with easy no-brainer.
The manual is very clear and ample enough, he explains the role and effects of each knob, offers fun and even tweaks fully describes the beast.

SOUNDS

The sound is amazing, already in clean sound you can go to the round slammed full of warmth all in a very good record (the bright knob allows to change) and then for the saturation is the party! We can get what you want from a classic crunch distortion mtal without adding anything, coupled to a spring reverb quality is that of happiness! Jai add an EQ for distortion pedals that I do mostly Sufis over the ith time and required only I caught!
Now I use it with my Ibanez Xiphos makes perfectly plain and sending a good gain ...
The control of texture (a Peavey exclusive) is very nice it handles the sound and lights can get closer to the truth its lowest volume ca not worth that much sound with the master pushed!
There are a lot of knobs and so many possibilities, versatility even with all the heat lamps if you play at least 5!
I love the saturation and cares enough clean round because I did not need anything then (apart chorus etc of course)
But it is true that house is really mean, repeating 'I love but no load-box or low volume so you can feel a shade alas

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and I love this head and simply more aesthetically it is just as pleasant.
I test heads Marshall, Hughes and Kettner and many combos and I still call on the Peavey (obviously in its range)
The report is astonishing because for qualitprix not so expensive you have any lights with sound quality and reliability of peavey with that!
Avc hindsight I would take a combo or rather I offer myself a load-box but the problem of all rete ls amp lamps ...

Dja all is said, watching others opinions
I put 9 because I find it unfortunate that there is a reverb knob for both channels

UTILIZATION

Bon bin in terms of the use is not really complicated, two channels, one clean lead an equalizer with a treble / middle / bass for everyone. Just connect it to let heat lamps and go! For my part, I can not say that I find the On success has IMMEDIATE DSIR's because I do not have the esseyer filled before buying and it's just not be the 'IDAL for my style (fusion, heavy). otherwise qualo are effective enough, turn the sound changes. the texture knob located derrire the head and the buttons prsence / rsonance are a bit superfluous, but for someone like me who likes to take the head to find the sound, it's pretty nice!

SOUNDS

Finally, this is where I really have something to say. Prcedemment As mentioned, the style of my group takes a lot of fusion and a little heavy. A purchase of this I was looking for a filled well with a heavy gain pronounce (modern hi gain) and the first test ... dception, even pushing the gain by cutting the bottom and middles, the vk is sorely lacking in bulk. the impression that I had a quiet distortion "big rock", but no metal. outside of my group I play a lot of rock like acdc, gun's ... and also a lot of blues and filled in against the really impress me! spend 30 seconds on the canl lead and a well rockies immdiatemment comes out! the distortion is really enjoyable and 5 below provides an overdrive that I especially love rock! When the blues, bah ... say that his dpanne but not the vk is tailer for this kind of music.
Now move to the clean channel. I esseyer before vk spider2 a head + body (line6) and a engl combo that had 15 good years pass. I'm still a beginners in the world of music but I would like someone to explain even how to find that the lme of vk is cold and personable! ds the first chord, I love it, I find that the lights do their job well vraimment namely rounded off the sound and give it heat. the reverb can embellish everything but I think it's not really ncessaire (at least for me) + not super great. or nothing else to say. its been almost 5 months I use a Squier Stratocaster (I know, there are better ...) and Bafle ValveKing. in terms of Bafle I agree with those who think it does just not the best rendering and aileurs I v not be changing mine. Finally I would like to reassure those who think he will never play their big wild riff on that filled him as a good sticky qualiseur in the effects loop (it's great practice) we obtain the sound Pork search and send it! its been one week that I was sticking a MXR M108 and this gem pti has provided exactly what was missing in the vk. I put a 7 because of its versatility, which supposedly is not at all l.

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, I would say that this is really filled with the rock but have potential makes it really interresting. qualitprix the report is one of the best on the market are made all atractivit and I think especially the young like me who are over 6 months to find 800. Even if it is not versatile at all, he added some little pedals and I am sure you find what you troubadours. + in the effects loop is really effective is it just be THE + (with a rock) which I prefer on the head. if I had the choice again I'd have a lot of hsitation. The problem for me shut up style "only rock" but hey, thanks to my jewel pti (qualo mxr), more problems! Finally, I would say that this is really impressive is filled Premire I saw that if you do not add as an accessory later, before the esseyer about whether or not filled this is for you!

"It is an amplifier 100 watts lamps ... not much else to say
-2 Channels: clean and lead, and volume qualisation indpendante, rverb common prsence and resonance are also adjustable gnrale

I take off one point because a master volume would be welcome but does good for c'que agne ...

UTILIZATION

Rglages-simple understanding
-This gives a good sound, yes, clean and fat distortion of simpa barbarian is a high gain amp, but hey in the end it fits well trs.
-I did not have the manual but its only usefulness would be to explain the buttons can be the back of the head.
No problem so that the ct

SOUNDS

-I am above all a fan of big heavy riffs and crases so this amp satisfies me completely. If you love mtal and want an amp not too expensive, the ValveKing 100 is for you.
I use it for the moment with an Epiphone Les Paul Standard and despite his sound too round, he spends too much !!!!!
Trs-clear sound good, multiple colors are possible by pressing a bit bright but then slammed a can be for arpges Gnant Live
The lead sound is I think the highlight of this amp, Destroyer, Laminator, Bulldozer, ITS PORK! It is a distortion that fits me as a guitarist in a metal band.
The default is, at least it seems that this amp is fragile because of its manufacturing Korene but I advise you not to listen those dscendent this amp because they are either purists or they amp were wrong or they did test a few hours.
-My sound is the lead prfr: mtal it and it is in your face!

Okay so even if the recess is strong mtal, this amp lacks lightweight potato for its purpose of being silent Polyval (I hate that word) and the lack lightweight amp gain but it's still honorable!

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for 1 month and even if it has its limitations, is the bomb for me (I have not my LTD Eclipse 1000 so I hate to see c'qu'elle ar Ellement in the stomach).
I find that the reverb is an asset that makes this amp REALLY practice but it has a heavy tendency to saturate the treble, especially on the lead channel (Obviously ^ ^)
"I tried a good old vintage marshall amp and a correct Spanish style: the marshall had a better clean amp and" rectify "a better distortion but with a better proportional wallet.
-I think the report is qualitprix Hon.
If j'devais-back, I would do as well this choice because the sound that the power of sound propagation ARE DISCLAIMER!

Dj t * Have nuncios below.

UTILIZATION

Very simple, no worries over the ...
but almost no effect on the sound.

SOUNDS

Plutt I am a fan of big sound, I had not deny. But I spend at nothing. Jazz, funk, fusion, Death, Hardcore from under the cellar ...

The clean sound is nothing transcendent (I prfres that of my Marshall 100 MDF is to say)
The distortion, then the button on the bottom ... it is dirty, a drooling everywhere, no precision, no heat, no envelope ... a big dception.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried it 3 times in the store, hoping that every time I could have a positive opinion on this "tube amp" ...
3 times of ... and more time passed, the more important dception silent.
I did not pay me the scholarship for a correction ... Too bad but I'll wait ...
Nase this amp is, quite simply. I sound better with my pod and my marshall (yet I do not like the sound marshall ...)
It really has the image of the entry-level ... So yes, it's not expensive, but it's bad.
I strongly deprecated ... leaves a choice of peavey, both turn to the Classic Series (the sound was!)

A big dception at any point ... at the same time, not surprisingly at this price and we understand why the mesa the tape so much ... in both cases is the same, the price is justified ...
A wrong from peayvey SERIES with this ... damage

Said below.
This is an entry-level amps.
amp all-tube, should be specified. but some who tested below do not know aparamen not use this feature.
jm'expliquerai after.

UTILIZATION

The settings are fast, there is direct what you're looking.
The equalizer is really good, the frequencies are shaped to perfection.
short, not rocket science.
is not a single knob to no avail, all are clear.
over the course of buttons, is really long, which allows for extreme versatility.

SOUNDS

The CLEAN is warm, round, worthy of a tube amp, is not to say. after, only purists will find a way to get cash, but I want to say: molo guys, it's a "outset", just not disgusted ki ones can not afford rectify a triple, peavey tt lamp or other ...
entry here means that it is not perfect. c a fact!
but not in the clear.

Personally, I trèèèès the big sound, a mix of death metal, thrash metal beam that! blast it dry!
So JMI connai pa mal saturation and I am looking for a sharp and burr san!
pr back to the beginning, this is a correct pa, but a tt c Kamemi lamps!
ki are those used with the vehicle's gross distortion, find the fat, heavy, slightly Péchu ...
yes, but if you decide to clear the channel coupled with a good distortion pedal for metal muff-type or other tube preamp, you will get a sound as powerful if not more than a mesa! forget the marshall, c exceeded at this stage, although c tro powerful.
pr say, I tested in parallel, a Laboga Mr Hector, and ValveKing + metal muff, and after a few seconds SETTINGS, I managed to find the same sound a little closer!
jfai outside the pub in May for those pa ki have big budget, do not hesitate, ValveKing with a distortion pedal of his not cost autan k'un mesa, but it sounds like!

short the resulting distortion, there's a grain precise, sharp, bright, punchy, with good palmutes well supported.

I put all the same 7 / 10 c psk not sound gross amp either.

OVERALL OPINION

I tested both moult in store, with friends, and c true that saturated gross shit, but after lots of testing with the effects of different distos, I managed to use the grain of lamps their advantage! is a characteristic not to leave aside!
for an entry level head, there really means to lay a more than adequate.
I have a pr randall head now, it costs 100 € more, but a hybrid c. I still sound clean with a metal muff, but next to the Peavey ValveKing, c dla really cheap!
the sound is less accurate above.
So I counted to wait and pay me a big Krankenstein, but it is pointless o final, it was better for less! even if a little c compliké get the sound! At the same tps, fo really be a nozzle not do it lol!

So the purists, keep your comments jvoi pa how little to impersonate a pro without actually tested all the possibilities of an amp.
Budget, do not hesitate, go test it, take your time, pair it with whatever you can, and I'm sure you'll find it ke. (And more expensive in pa!)
And finally any kind of metal fan, go for it, c of the killing (kan is known to use it! Lol, ha purists! You seriously makes me laugh!)

Amp any lamp 4lampes power lamps and 3 preamp
-It is a 100watt so it spits out to ca no need to worry
Clear channel and channel-saturated, two distinct EQ, a master reverb, a presence knob and a resonance: the resonance is super helpful I think! knob and also a "bright" on the clean channel, I get a personal best in his Inrush

I put 8 / 10 because we expect it to something special +!

UTILIZATION

Configuration super-simple: with any guitar or baffle which is located on the sound we are trying, everything is clear and precise!
We get easily a good sound, even if we tickle a little distortion to get what you want

SOUNDS

-The sound is very warm, responsive and incisif.en pushing a little volume you can feel the big sound of the lamps
I would say that the sound is quite clear round to see if using fat not the "bright" but if you use it you get something more crystalline but still round and still warm
It is a good disto disto big you like them, missing more than Seymour Duncan or EMG behind

OVERALL OPINION

I have for some months now I find it very versatile and very cheap for an all-tube head of this quality there is a really great price / quality ratio. I had a marshall jtm before the sound is different but not necessarily better in one or other of the amplifiers. it's a good series that peavey has released contrary to what others think. One has the lamps for a small sum. buy a transistor at the same price or even 2x more expensive you will ever inimitable sound of the lamps. but I insist that the lamps and lights when you pass it back over into the transistor believe me!

9 / 10 for this amp because its not the best amps lamp that's for sure, but a great value for money. and then just have a good HP or change behind the lights and it's good you have an amp to hell!

All-100W lamp 46l6gc for power stage, three 12AX7 preamp for the floor of

-2 HP output with common switch 8 April 16 ohm
-2 Guitar input

-1 Gain boost switch for channel 2
-1 Volume boost switch for channel 2

what more? for the price: nothing, absolutely a third channel and a master general. 10 for this award because I never found as complete

UTILIZATION

We can not get more simple: you turn the knobs and the sound is the hop!

SOUNDS

This is where the product is exeptionnel:
I manage a group of death that uses this oriental head (I know very well). 100W bcp wonders if it's enough, and listen at the time when we played at the leather I had the combo 50w grateux branch on 4x12: no problem for sound to the room!! by repeating the same time, they covered the drummer tappe yet frankly on its battery. since they are upgrading to 100W head and is the drummer who demand lower scratch ....
for rendering: as said before they play the death, and that's more than enough! the sound is warm and generous saturax, and clean, well nothing to complain it is indeed clean and very clean.
Now my personal config is mesa recto preamp + + mess 2:90 rctifier mesa 2x12 and well although I prefer my two cents (but it is matter of taste) saturax send less than the head. I also played on a Dual Rectifier and just like the more saturated ValveKing. for the grain ValveKing and less burdensome and less fat, less dark and can be a bit more "clean". it lacks, compared to the engl (I played on a 580 year pdt) or boogie, a bit of dynamic roundness and clean. but it's not day and night.
the head, compared to the price, is the best market leader, and far far away !!!!! if you want better you must let go at least 3 to 4x more tunes ...
the grain is neither better nor worse than other brands, the grain peavey (a lamp, anything to do with TransTube) must love. I personally am not a fan but I am far from alergies. again I think this head sounds much better and is more versatile than a 5150!! for the fans ...
for the trouble I put a 10/10 (because it's impossible to 25) because at this price is simply Hauris!! no one can invent to do better or even as the performance of peavey! hats off frankly.

OVERALL OPINION

When you have not yet tube amp and that the budget is tight and you want an all-tube head, whatever the musical style, a guarantee 2 years 3 € 500 must be taken that the!
if you're fickle like me with the grain of the amp you can afford to go to the other (unless you like the peavey grain)
well it's going to be another big one in perfect 10/10 for peavey

ps: I want to say all the same I am a true break my balls with her! and yet this peavey is a must and I think I'll pay just parcequ'elle is great, I recall that I get to play at all boogie!!

hop and a little edit of families
I just got an MP congratulated me on my opinion. is not accrue on the net in general so I'm going to see what was said on this amp .....
then it will have to stay correct when even the guys! we have the right not to like a particular gear, but the purpose of notice is to try to be objective to give an indicator. qqn wants to buy it if you must sanita before !!!!!! (It can not appeal on that) but that this head is shit ... I prefer not to answer correctly to stay.
I'm going for a year on a mesa roadster + 4x12 correct. Although I prefer by far my mesa (matter of taste only), and good for the quality / price I would note (the mesa) although much less ValveKing!
1000 I maintain my opinion on both the head absolutely impeccable scholarship refers to a necessary purchase.

Tube amp 100W 2 channels with 2 modes per channel reverb and effects loop

UTILIZATION

simple setup, its easy to get

SOUNDS

its versatile clear crystal-clear in metal!
I play mostly metal modern Scandinavian-style for the channel uses the bright clear day engaged with adjustable sharp as a medium 7 has a low 3 and 8 is the reverb on channel 2 for the full, a sharp medium 4 to 5 and a low 7 with respect to the volume I put the two channels at 4 for I use a volume box inserted in the effects loop which allows me to have the big sound without messing up my ears and I think C is the characteristic of this amp, it has long been criticized for its lack of energy but with a volume box ratrappe it all! j on the cabinet using a Harley Benton G412A (its vintage) with respect to the guitar ESP LTD J have a rise in EMG 81 and 85 and an increase in EMG HZH4 jackson and I can tell you it sends serious!
In lamps have always 6L6 j d j origin and I changed the preamp lamps in position V1 and V2 there are 12ax7LPS V3 and a 12ax7WA c is for me the best config for a very big sound! one last tip for those who want a well dug Mesa style or whatever, just put a graphic equalizer in the effects loop and voila, no I have effect level that a delay and a chorus that I use rarely

OVERALL OPINION

I possess 4 years and the question is value for money c top! with what is currently on the market today that I think I would take a Bugera 333XL but I am very happy with the Peavey

The head version of this amp is basically the exact same as the combo but just in a head cab and higher wattage.

This is one extremely versatile amp. It has two channel one for clean and then one for a dirty tone. Both channels are very usable and voiced for a great rock n roll sound. The amp has a ton of features like reverb and a bright switch as well as a boost switch for the lead lines.

The amp is voiced more in the British flavor of things. Even though it has 6L6 power tubes which is more used in American metal tones, the amps overall is more toward the British voicings. The tone is remarkable for being at the price point that it is in.


Peavey ValveKing 100 Head Features:

100 watts (rms) into 16, 8, or 4 ohms (switchable)
Four 6L6GC and three 12AX7 tubes
Two independent footswitchable channels
Separate EQ for each channel
Footswitchable gain/volume boost on lead channel
Dual paralleled speaker jacks
Reverb with level control
Buffered effects loop
Resonance and presence controls
New TEXTURE™ variable Class A simulation control (patent pending)

The only thin I don't like about this amp is the effects loop in on the front of the amp. this means if you use the effects loop you will have 3 cables running in the front of this beats and couple that wit a mic then you are getting crowded.

SOUNDS

If you keep the amp in the clean channel and click the bright switch in the off position then you get a solid jazz tone that is rich and full bodied. It is a very warm tone great for jazz riffs and runs. If you click the bright switch on then you get a great spanky country clean tone. All you need then is to add a little reverb and you are golden.

When you go over to the dirty channel this is where things heat up. The tone is very thick and chunky. I like this tone with a medium to low body tone such as an ash or alder bodied guitar. This get your tone to cut ore when you have such a beefy distortion tone.

OVERALL OPINION

For the money it doesn't really get any better than this amp. At new these amps come in at around $550, which in my opinion is a steal for a solid two channel amplifier. The ability to switch from class A to AB is another remarkable feature this amp has.

I would recommend this amp to anyone who is on the lookout for a great sounding combo amp that won't break the bank and that has real tubes in it. There is no modeling or solid state design in this amp...just real tube distortion and thick colorful clean tones.

amp lamps (BUT NOT ALL LIGHTS!) because a clipper of the lead channel has reported zener diodes, and the effects loop and reverb drive by transistors also. Between high and low gain (effective), effects loop (not switchable), 2 speaker outputs, a jack for connecting pedal switch (channel and gain boost). 100W delivers what is effective in a group together, but avoid at home. Effects: volume boost on the front, gain boost in front / bottom bracket, front reverb. A negative note this: non-switchable Reverb pedal. -2 Channels not truly independent because half the lamps are shared, so V1 and V3 change alters the sound of the lead. cons by independent EQ. not really any lamps, since effects loop, reverb, equalization buffed by transistors, admittedly somewhat transparent in sound, but transistor. So only 6 / 10 because of these negative points.

UTILIZATION

simple configuration, if one knows at least settle an amp. The preamp can enjoy the sound color of each lamp depending on the brand used and the choice is important. We get it sound easy. But: Clear Channel share and distal half of the preamp stage, so find lamps that have a super clean sound and you lose on the saturation, conversely, when we found the ideal combination for the distortion, clean sound is not as beautiful. Yep channel Peavey independent means independent EQ, but the preamps stages are partly common. so we just have a beautiful clean, or a good distortion, but the two have become difficult with a configuration of lamps. So for a first amp lamp is cool, but for research SOUND, we quickly become disillusioned.

SOUNDS

Genre blues, jazz: good, according to the selected 12AX7 config (we just have a round, or crystalline depending on the lamp) Rock: Yes, absolutely correct. I would say that is the domain of this amp. Hard rock / heavy: yes, according to the selected lamps, and also according to the guitar. Hard metal: At the limit, but you have to push the gain and you start to clip the diode, so the sound sounds less lamps. Death / thrash: very fair, the gain must be pushed hard enough, the diode has clipped all going, and the sound loses its momentum and color lamps, one tends more towards sounding transistor.

OVERALL OPINION

been used for 4 / 5 years including 2 years in its original configuration, and then adding changes to the son for months. For several months I prefer to use only the power amp section of the amp (which I love) and bring back my true all-tube preamp custom in the return of the effects loop. In the amp lights I tried before: Marshall Mode Four, 5150, triple rectify bugera 333, Ibanez TB100, bandit 112, vox VT 30. and another but I have everything in mind. The pros: price, fiabilitée, strength, modern rock sound, the fact that really takes advantage of color sound lights, power more than enough for a group. The big +: The amp as editable as I know (see my post tips section) The -: not truly independent channels, contrary to what is announced, the non-switchable reverb in feet, not suitable for aggressive metal unlike certain items (some announced by peavey). I think such a person who shows patrcick Rondat play on a VK (available on the peavey site I managed to get the same sound, but it was enough to make internal changes consequent to the circuit, so it'll be well in official tests peavey uses the material in the original version, or sell the equipment used in testing. In hindsight, I do it again this election if I were to buy an amp, but I will give him the change I have already made. But honestly at the present time, I much prefer making my preamp lamps, at least I'm not disappointed about the quality and the features advertised. Cons by the power amp section adore, she is not colorful and really brings what I was looking at capacity without changing the sound of my preamp. Value for money, hard to find better lamps, the fastness is by far much higher than has amp lamps competitors same price range, which have commelotte potentiometers, component of poor quality. It certainly lacks versatility, yes, but impossible to criticize anything about reliability, because it has undergone many changes, and never Cramm, even the day I planted in my mod, only the fuse was skipped, so after all he has suffered, I just say that it is sustainable as stupid.

Lamp 100 watt amp 2 input jacks on the front A clear channel, a channel distortion, a reverb.

UTILIZATION

For the configuration disto I say what is not simple since this amp has not a good balance between treble, bass and midrange. Moreover the king valve has a knob and a knob presence resonance, cele accentuated in the difficulty in clearly setting as its rotten sound, (médiocritée of speaker). It is impossible to casiment found a good sound if you push the volume knob has more than 40 percent. For the clean sound can be all it should be something fairly simple to find an interesting sound. The manual is in English, months I do not speak English, the more I bought this amp while in France ...

SOUNDS

This amp does not fit my style of music (metal) the metal is now wide I'm more a style between black dalia murder and gojira. J'obtiend metal sound in the metant knob resonance, presence and reverb to zero, for bass and treble at medium and medium to 75 percent. I put on are clear and distortion I use a Rocktron Metal Planet. There is a knob behind the amp that adjusts the power lamp does not put a bottom especially if you play a high volume because otherwise the amp infarction risk (I was already a muse after six months and second lamps are held two weeks). J 'uses a guitar with a virgo bc rich micro emg81 As a general rule I hate all of this amp sonoritée

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for three years I have never been satisfied, the valve king is generally sold as a very good metal amp ... For me the objective of this purchase was to find an amp that will let me oriented metal to use any device, multi effect or distortion so as to have a more lifelike. The problem is that losrque it plays in a metal band, drummer hits hard and hits hard as it must be hard to put your amp if nobody hears anything. And the king is the valve or is the problem because just 40 or 50 percent of its volume the sound is just a shit it feels to hear what a cow is slaughtered. The firm is in bad Calita speaker and his very Criare. Regarding the distal small precision I played with a guitar player who has a Laboga mr hector, and yes we also pence when it bought an amp (of credibility). With distortion of this amp I am ashamed of my group is ugly impersonel blade. What I love most, nothing. I do not say this maliciously is my opinion What I would love to the least, I will not say "all" because it would be too easy I clearly do not like the distortion and I regret that the amp Bellows as one climbs the sound. The report qualitée price I would say very low for a simple reason, even if we do not like the distortion, settings or grain (which can be modified by multi purpose) however this is not normal c is selling a 100 watt amp will be a very close shot of a 45 percent volume and 55 percent make disgusting noise for the rest. I will never do it again this election I will warn you if a vendor offers this amp to the metal you ask the right questions when you have Scalability with this amp. It is often said that an amp of this type is not made to play in her room, think you this only serves to amp it has low volume, background or to annoy your parents.
