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 ...
