Congrats on the new amp. The Valveking gets great reviews and is going to be a famous amp. They use the 6L6 tubes like most Fender amps, so you are not gonna get a Marshall tone from it. You need an amp with EL84s (small low-powered amp) or especially EL34s to really nail that Marshall tone. And most Marshalls use Celestion speakers in a closed back cab, that is much of the Marshall tone as well.

But I've listened to clips of the ValveKing, and it's a good sounding very versatile amp.

If you love the Marshall tone, try the Marshall Guv'nor Plus II pedal through the clean channel. I use this through my Fender amps and it is amazing. You can really get Marshall tone. I would highly recommend this pedal to anyone who loves classic Marshall tone but can't spend a fortune for a real Marshall. :D Thanks Wes. I'm beginning to play almost exclusivly though the clean channel now. Looks like some pedals may be in order. I was looking at the Ibanez tube screemers too.]]> Live Sound Sin City Sid https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/my-new-used-amp/#post-286780 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/my-new-used-amp/#post-286709 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:10:23 +0000

What genres are you into, and maybe can we have a sound clip sid? I practice classic rock :lol: Yup all the years I've been playing on and off, I still stink.

I may toss a sound clip up later. Hows about the intro and first solo to Rush's "Working man"?

when I was searching for my tone I would keep a note book handy. I would write down settings on the amp and the pedal (s) I was using. before, when I didn't note settings I would lose my place and miss out; when I got something good I could not remember.
now that I jot notes I am set. eventually, you will not have to.

now that I have a base line setting; where I think I sound good and am comfortable. I can add, subtract, experiment from there and remember what I did to achieve what sound. Cool idea, thanks.

I don't think I've ever played this much clean channel stuff. Man this thing is sweet.]]> Live Sound Sin City Sid https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/my-new-used-amp/#post-285978 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/my-new-used-amp/#post-285926 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:30:01 +0000

I was talking to my bud and he just looked at me when I told him what I bought like I was some raving lunatic. Needless to say he said go find something smaller. So I went back and told the dude it was just too much amp. I ended up with a Peavey Valve King 112 for $355.00 out the door.

Gonna take a while to find my tone with it, but it is great sounding. It doesn't come with a footswitch which really surprised me because my bandit came with everything. The manual has one part # for the switch and there online store has another. Guess I will need to call them for the correct part #.
