Guys i really need some help! i'm mostly playing metal . I'm looking for an amp thats full of distortion and tone in a budget 200$-500$ max ! i was thinking of choosing between the 112 version of this one and and a peavey vypyr 75....can anyone tell me which one is better or if i should get another amp ? (looking for a great tube distortion amp(Not modelling but i've seen the vypyr one is pretty good sounding)) PLease HELP! THX
Is it normal that I have a lot of feedback when the gain boost is on? After I stop playing the amps screams. If I turn down the guitar volume it stops but if I don't the amps screams, if I turn of the gain boost is doesn't
@ChaserHUN yeah, youre just getting feedback, that happens with any amp at a high gain, just get a noise compressor and run it between the guitar and the amp and thatll fix it
I'd deffinitly go for the valveking 212. it sounds great, the distortion is just fucking awesome, you can play any kind of music with it, blues, funk, death metal, whatever you want. those line 6 spiders things might look nice, with all those fancy effects and moddeling shit, but at the end, you just need a good sounding clean and distortion, I'd deffinitly take the valveking. and btw, don't buy a 112, the extra speaker might cost an extra hondred euro's but it's worth it,
ive got a the head and two cabs, not a huge fan on the amp its self but im running it through a pod x3 live and its that powerful you balls vibrate when you stand infront of it
so i have been playing for about 2 years with my roland cube x30 and js30rr guitar and now i need new guitar and amp. so im buying the jackson dk2s guitar and the amp is still a proplem. so the money to be used is around 300-600 euros and i have two options so far and they are: peavey valveking 212 and line 6 spider iv so wich is better? i play thrash/death metal in a band so the amp should be able to play with a band. but if you know some better amp than these then please tell me thanks already
@MrRandymaniac You should check out the peavey 6505 combo, i dont have one i have a valveking 212 but i regret not getting the 6505, it has much better tone and grunt for metal.
@MrRandymaniac Personally i cant stand the spiders. I had one and the all of the distortion channels sounded just too digital. Im working on paying of a valveking myself and the lead tones blow the Line 6 out of the water
lol i have that huge monster stack over there to the left, and it sounds alot better without the reverb cranked up to where u sound like ur in a tunnel...best amp ive ever played tho for under 2000$
There is no comparison between the video and the real thing. I just picked one up yesterday after having it on layaway for months. I was jamming with the drummer, and I had this amp on 3 and people could hear us from almost a half a mile away. It's really versatile, has amazing tone, and will knock you out. I never turned it up more than half because I couldn't hear the drummer.
I'd like an amp that has a great tone for metal in the style of Dream Theater or Opeth. Not necesseraly a lot of distortion, just great tone when distorted, if you guys know what i mean xD And i like my tone to be really bassy and warm, should i get this or the Vypyr 60w tube?
Great little amp. I own a vintage fender tweed, Mesa etc and this amp can hang with them both. Cleans are exceptional and dirty channel is very good. Negatives: it REALLY heavy @ 90 pound I' d guess, and its not the quietest amp I've played. A 2 channel amp that is essentially 3 channels with the boost. Best 400.00 amp on the market IMHO. Also reliability is questionable, Mine has been serviced once during 1 year of steady gigging but hard to do better for the money. Buy it.
If i would be running a Wah Phaser Flanger and a 10 band EQ pedal through this amp should i get a noise surpressor too ? just to get rif of any hiss ?
@guitarmessiah95 I've got just two pedals and I use a noise gate. I think its a pretty good idea to get one. Id get the MXR smart gate,maybe off ebay (a bit cheaper). and it cuts out all the background static nicely without costing your tone.
I've been thinking on getting the 112 version of this amp, or the Bandit 112. what would be the better choice? ive tried both, and i wanna know what would be the better buy
@UnconciousHippie The Peavey Valveking 112 would be better. It has that warm tube sound that you can't really get from a solid state. But you know, I'm a tube kinda guy, and from my perspective, they sound WAY better than most solid states out there.
@thegreenway1994 ANY amp is good for metal with a metal pedal, thats the whole purpose of the metal pedal. However, if you wanted an amp thats good for metal without a pedal, check out the Peavey 6505 and 5150 amps
@getthepoooffmybum all amps sound like shit with a multi pedal because all multi pedals sound like shit. if you want great tone you have to save up the money and buy a good amp and separate pedals.
@getthepoooffmybum with a multi effects pedal your tones will be just about the same with every amp unless you have something like a 50 dollar ibanez amp. go with something like this and just trade in your multi effects pedal and buy a good distortion pedal and a volume pedal. this amp can do the rest.
please someone help me. I like to play blues, ac/dc, megadeth and country stuff. what should i get: Peavey 212 or 112, Marshall DFX100 or a Laney 65watts??
Nonsense, I have had both, but the Valveking is clearly far superior. This Valveking sounds like a real tube amp should. The only downside would be the lack of gain for SOME metal(core) genres. But most of the time it will do just fine, especially with a booster. (The Bandit has even less gain btw)
The Bandit is a lovely amp also, but it's not as good as this Valveking.
I've got a peavey valveking 212 which has two 16 homes speaks running at 8 ohms, I've just got a valveking 4x12 Cabinet which is 16 ohms, is there anyway to get the two of them running together, and can I rewire the Cabinet to 8 ohms?
@Whipko Just an not all 50 w amps are not created equal, neither are drummers. I used to jam with a guy who could easily keep up to my 100 W half stack 4x12. All his hardware and cymbals were all bent to shit...
This amp sounds amazing! What a surprise after watching the Vypr I realized it was a bling box. This amp has some serious tonal range in all styles! Shred Funk Country I gotta go check for some drop tunings to hear how it hangs for metal.
i have this amp and i love it i play shows with it all the time this amp is perfect for a band. and if you want to go crazy like i did get the 4x12 cabinet with it. it will blow your mind. and on top of that the price is not that bad
Is this amp basically good for any tone? I just need a good tone to mess up with pedals... I play post-hardcore, cap'n jazz stuff with a bit of noise mixed in...
I have the ValveKing 212 and am able to produce just about any tone, from gritty hard metal to mellow warm bluesy tones just with the amp alone. Its got a great bass response as well as high enough treble outputs to make your ears bleed.
I have run the amp in the High Output, Class A/B mode since I took the amp out of the box. I use the amp about 3 to 4 hours a day. I love it, and have got to say, It was worth the money. I play a Fender Deluxe Strat- Hard Metal&Southern Rock....Beautiful Match
depends on your guitar pickups... totally, becuz using PAF plus you can turn the gain like 2 o clock to get the tone you want, if you got emg's or a SD Ivader you can get the tone you want by getting the gain like... 10 o clock
I've gone a vk212 which is set at 8 ohms, I have recently bought a valve king 4x12 Cabinet which is rated at 16 ohms what should my amp be on? Using the amplifier and the Cabinet together, 4, 8, or 16 ohms?
Always match the impedence of the speaker cabs with the amp, so 16 ohm cab means that the amp should be set to 16 ohms too. But if you have two 16 ohm cabs, then the amp should be set to 8 ohms. With 8 ohm cab, amp should be set to 8 ohms...with two 8 ohm cabs, amp should be set to 4 ohms.
You shouldn't mix different impedences into the amp. Either use one (8 ohm or 16 ohm) or two of the same (8 ohm + 8 ohm or 16 ohm + 16 ohm). Two 8 ohm cabs = 4 ohms at amp, two 16 ohm cabs = 8 ohms at amp.
Don't mix 8 ohms and 16 ohms. Use 2 of the same. You may be able to fix the problem by switching some wires around on your speakers. Research "parallel vs. series wiring". Remember, you want both sources to be the same...either both 8 ohms, or both 16 ohms.
I've gone a vk212 which is set at 8 ohms, I have recently bought a valve king 4x12 Cabinet which is rated at 16 ohms what should my amp be on? Using the amplifier and the Cabinet together, 4, 8, or 16 ohms?
i have a valve 2x12 the only thing it isn't good for is heavier like death metalish stuff it just sounds muddy. what i did is a bought a bbe sonic maximizer to boost lows and highs and scoop a little from the lows.
It's a full tube amp man, so just turn it up and run your guitar through a decent stomp distortion, then you'll get a heavy tone that would make you jizz your pants.
It's a good amp, with a few tweaks, an even better amp. I had my amp guy do some tone stack mods, beef up the power supply. I changed the flabby VK speakers to Celestion V30s and retubed with Tung Sol preamp and power tubes. JJs work very well too. A/B'd it with my 100 watt Mesa Nomad head and this bitch rocks
Class A-A/B control called Texture™, which allows sweepable selection between Class A and Class A/B power structures, as well as any combination of the two.
I want to know his settings because i have VK 112 and i find sounds like that.. exactly iam looking for sound of 05:00 to end... disortion.. can anyone help me with find a good and nice tone ? thank you very much.. keep on rockin :)
This amp is great. Only bad thing I noticed (Which might only be with the piece that I purchased) that as you put the reverb on, it gets annoyingly noisy. Gain on a tube amp is ought to have some basic noise in a quiet room but with reverb??
I wonder if anybody else faced this problem too. I am going to exchange this out for a new one.....can't take the noise with reverb up. Except that, BEAUTIFUL amp. Value for money I say !!!

112 has one 12" speaker and 50w. 212 has 2 speakers and 100w.

@keletappi2
also, you can switch all those fucking powerfull 100W into 16, 8 or 4 ohms
AND the 212 have 2 more 6L6 tubes, that makes the clean a LOT better than the 112

The Valveking 112 has one 12 inch speaker , the Valveking 212 has two 12 inch speakers. Kinda logic

112: 50w amp
212: 100w amp

I have the ValveKing 212 and am able to produce just about any tone, from gritty hard metal to mellow warm bluesy tones just with the amp alone. Its got a great bass response as well as high enough treble outputs to make your ears bleed.
I have run the amp in the High Output, Class A/B mode since I took the amp out of the box. I use the amp about 3 to 4 hours a day. I love it, and have got to say, It was worth the money. I play a Fender Deluxe Strat- Hard Metal&Southern Rock....Beautiful Match

why my amp heavent this sounds ??? i have peavey vk 112... can you say me some good settings of this amp ? i want good dis. for metal music..
spek111 2 years ago
depends on your guitar pickups... totally, becuz using PAF plus you can turn the gain like 2 o clock to get the tone you want, if you got emg's or a SD Ivader you can get the tone you want by getting the gain like... 10 o clock

I've gone a vk212 which is set at 8 ohms, I have recently bought a valve king 4x12 Cabinet which is rated at 16 ohms what should my amp be on? Using the amplifier and the Cabinet together, 4, 8, or 16 ohms?
MRWHITE3535 2 years ago
Always match the impedence of the speaker cabs with the amp, so 16 ohm cab means that the amp should be set to 16 ohms too. But if you have two 16 ohm cabs, then the amp should be set to 8 ohms. With 8 ohm cab, amp should be set to 8 ohms...with two 8 ohm cabs, amp should be set to 4 ohms.

So what should it be on then if my VK212 is 8 ohms and my cabinet is 16 ohms, and I need to use that both together?
8 or 16 ???
MRWHITE3535 2 years ago
You shouldn't mix different impedences into the amp. Either use one (8 ohm or 16 ohm) or two of the same (8 ohm + 8 ohm or 16 ohm + 16 ohm). Two 8 ohm cabs = 4 ohms at amp, two 16 ohm cabs = 8 ohms at amp.
OddTimeMan 2 years ago
I was thinking of that, re-wireing the Cabinet to 8 ohms
MRWHITE3535 2 years ago
Don't mix 8 ohms and 16 ohms. Use 2 of the same. You may be able to fix the problem by switching some wires around on your speakers. Research "parallel vs. series wiring". Remember, you want both sources to be the same...either both 8 ohms, or both 16 ohms.

i have a valve 2x12 the only thing it isn't good for is heavier like death metalish stuff it just sounds muddy. what i did is a bought a bbe sonic maximizer to boost lows and highs and scoop a little from the lows.
freakwarrior 2 years ago
It's a full tube amp man, so just turn it up and run your guitar through a decent stomp distortion, then you'll get a heavy tone that would make you jizz your pants.

wow peavey...
you make a demo of an your own amp where the person has a better sound for his voice, than for your amp.

You'll never get their sound exactly (they use many effects, not just amp & guitar), but it's a good & inexpensive place to start.

its a good amp, ive played the half stack at a store. distortion is not bad
badmofo83 2 years ago 2
It's a good amp, with a few tweaks, an even better amp. I had my amp guy do some tone stack mods, beef up the power supply. I changed the flabby VK speakers to Celestion V30s and retubed with Tung Sol preamp and power tubes. JJs work very well too. A/B'd it with my 100 watt Mesa Nomad head and this bitch rocks

what does A/B mean?
nederbassie 2 years ago
Class A-A/B control called Texture™, which allows sweepable selection between Class A and Class A/B power structures, as well as any combination of the two.
ViLLZzZz 2 years ago
Lol A selection or B selection on a switch.. If you have the head you should understand this
Anubiss86 2 years ago
Class A & Class A/B have to do with the design of the amp and the use of the power tubes. Different power structures will offer different tone.

WHen in the description you say 112 and 212 speakers only, does that mean I cannot put a Celestion G12T-75 12" Speaker into the Valvekine 112?
LatvianXave8 2 years ago
112 means it has One 12 inch speaker, 212 means Two 12 inch speakers. You can change the speakers to Celestion if you want.
OddTimeMan 2 years ago
you probably could, that just means those models only come with that kind of speaker.

This amp is great. Only bad thing I noticed (Which might only be with the piece that I purchased) that as you put the reverb on, it gets annoyingly noisy. Gain on a tube amp is ought to have some basic noise in a quiet room but with reverb??
I wonder if anybody else faced this problem too. I am going to exchange this out for a new one.....can't take the noise with reverb up. Except that, BEAUTIFUL amp. Value for money I say !!!
