Well the peavey valveking 112 is a great amp. I didn't purchase it from sweetwater. But I know well how nice and knoledgeable their staff is! But the amp is versitile and of good quality. The amp is guitar picky. This will not sound good with every guitar you own. But that is true for alot of other amps. But this item is recomended by me for a good sound that is easily impeovable. With sovtek 6l6wxt+'s and tungsol 12ax7's this is a screaming amp. The speaker should be switched out with a warehouse retro 30. This is a great improvement if desired. This is a higher gain more rocking tone! But this amp eq's weakly because of the preamp tubes. But this is on your opinion of your desired tone. This a is great amp that with a little inovations is a amazing amp. I know it is quality by sound, structure, and materials. This is a amp thaat will last a long time in the right hands. Ive had it a year and its given no problems. I play every genre except rap, country, and screamo. I use this amp as my hard rock/ metal amp it handles well but im looking forward to my upgrade. I use a les paul copy and a custom strat like guitar. No effects. Reverb sounds good. Buy this for versitility and value!

  Awesome Amp!

When I set out to buy a new amp recently, I tried allot of different makes and sizes. Being that I am not in a band at the moment, I decided a 50 watt combo would more than suit my needs. After trying them all just about, I settled on the Valveking 112. It was a great choice for many reasons. First off, the value. Where else can you find an all tube guitar amp for under 500 dollars. Secondly, the sound from this amp is just awesome. It has just the right amounts of gain for me, probably not for metal heads though. The clean channel is, dare I say, Fenderesque! I did change my speaker to an Eminence Texas Heat, largely because I like a little more low end thud in my tone. The amp was terrific with the stock speaker, but the Eminence elevated it to the next level. All I can say is, this is a wonderful amp. If I ever play in a band again, I will get the 212 or even the half stack. Peavey makes great gear, you do not have to break the bank for a great amp. Buy it, you will not regret it!
