Hughes and Kettner Trilogy Valve Guitar Amp Head

Peavey ValveKing 212 review

Advantages: Great value. Awesome tone. Very LOUD!
Disadvantages: Very heavy. Footswitch not included.

The ValveKing 212 is a 100 watt combo with a beautiful valve tone. It's a twin channel all tube amp with two 12" speakers encased in an open backed cabinet but unlike the "Classic" the valves are protected by a guard. I use this amp live for lead guitar in a blues band. Peavey are renowned for their reliability and it has never let me down. There are two inputs, 1 is for single coil guitars and 2 is for a high output guitar. The clean channel has volume, bass, middle and treble controls. These don't really seem to effect a huge change in the full warm sound of the amp. However, there is a Bright Switch which boosts the treble very significantly.

Review of Peavey ValveKing 212 Combo Guitar Amp

Peavey Valve King 212

Advantages: Really nice clean tones
Disadvantages: Rather muddy and weak overdrive channel

analougue sounding reverb it is too. External speaker out which is handy for larger gigs. FX loop which is always nice. Thats about it, nice and simple. Durability: This thing is built like a tank! while i was taking it to a gig in my car it fell over onto a metal bracket in my car boot and luckily missed metal panel with the volume knob on it but hit the wood casing at the top left instead and made a massive dent in the wood! But this thing is built so well that the tubes didn't even break! Very shock absorbant indeed. Also a very very heavey amp for a 212! - I think it must be the Eminence Speakers that are 60W each instead of the stock Peavey speakers that were 50W each Value: I think overall this amp is perfect for a guitar player who diggs the clean tone or playing soft rock or blues etc. definately not for the metal head! I ...

Review of Peavey ValveKing 212 Combo Guitar Amp

g4m bass guitar pack the best for a begginer and experienced

Advantages: sounds good, great price, good website, very playable, looks great.
Disadvantages: gig bag not so good, strap not so good.

this bass guitar is any beginner or even fairly advanced bass guitarists dream. I play the bass guitar and this was my first bass and I hope to keep it for a very long time, I try to play it as much as I can. the guitar is quite heavy but all electric guitars are. My guitar is red and the pack that I bought is as shown in the picture and the amp that comes with the guitar is also very good it has a variety of different functions it has a treble, a bass, a master volume, two inputs etc... the guitar also sounds great to play in the amp it comes with the guitar is great for small gigs, the website gear4music.co.uk is also a great site for finding other instruments and instrument accessories. so go for it because this guitar is great to play. ...
