![]() | I've decided to get a new practice amp, and have narrowed it down to either the 50w Peavey Valveking 110 or the 30w Crate Palomino V32 112. Has anyone around here played either or both? I know they don't necessarily lend themselves to a "metal" sound, but I always use distortion/fuzz and some delay, at a minimum. I'm also looking for a good feedback amp. I've included a poll for your convenience, so vote way! Comments would be welcomed too, as long as they're not "it sucks I'd never have one!" sort of thing. However, if you'd have one that caused problems, then I'd definitely like to hear about that. I have 'til the 31st because GC has a 10% off coupon that would take care of the sales tax. I've been planning to get one for a long time, and that time is now! So whaddya say? Find out the SHOCKING reason why Last Rites was called "scariest band ever" by the San Francisco MusiCalendar. . .

I think valve kings are decent enough, though i havent played one in forever.

![]() | I want to keep it at around $400 or so, minus the 10% coupon. The Peavey had a nice sound, and I've had 5 Peaveys over the years, so I do like their products. However, I'm not going to let that get in the way of a good amp. I want all tube, am not so interested in multiple channels since I tend to use my effects to alter the sound. Feedback is a priority - the more the better. I really wish I'd have picked up one of those old Fender Super Reverbs when they were just old amps and going for around $300. Oh well . . . |
