Peavey ValveKing® amps feature a patented, variable 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. With this feature, guitarists can coax virtually any tone from this tweaked-out amplifier. The amp's preamp and power sections use 12AX7 and 6L6GC tubes, respectively, and drive specially voiced 12" ValveKing® loudspeakers (112 and 212 versions only).

Me noodling through my Peavey Valve King 212 with Eminence Man-O-War speakers. I was unhappy with the harsh, brash sound of the amp until I put a Boss GE-7 EQ in the effects loop and cut 1.6K almost completely. It really smoothed out the tone quite a bit and is a lot closer to the Marshall sound I like. I am playing my Epiphone Les Paul Studio with Gibson Burstbucker PRO pickups.

Note: The playing isn't the best. I guess I should have a plan when I make a video. And I am still not used to people seeing/hearing stuff I do yet, I make a few mistakes so bear with me ok? The Peavey Valveking 112 seems to be a pretty decent little amp. I am using this one stock. No upgrades or changes. The guitar is plugged straight into the amp. I am using my Epiphone Les Paul with Alnico II neck and 59 bridge both Ducans. The guitars can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lruKbyotAwY I just hope this helps people to see and hear what the amp can do, I tried to play different things.

Schecter S1 Elite Guitar Peavey Valveking Head -2 Celestion G12-65 Originals from ~1980's Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive Settings: Valveking Treb: 2.8 Mid: 0 Bass: 6.5 Res: 3-4 Pres: 2-3 The volume was at like 3-4 for this clip with the texture set at full A/B. SD-1 Vol: 2oclock Tone: 2oclock Dist: 0 The G12-65's add ALOT of midrange so 0 on the amp's mids doesn't give it a scooped sound. Dialing in more mids makes it sound a little harsh and muddy so 0 is fine ha(For these speakers). The amp has alot of treble/highs so they dont need to be set high. Resonance gives it balls.
