was developed to contain all of the attentionto-detail circuitry and tonal qualities of boutique amplifiers, but with a price point real
working guitarists could afford. Now, with
the next generation line, Peavey has taken
this idea even further and delivered one of its
most advanced lines of amps yet, tailored to
the needs of today's modern guitarist.
"When we designed the first ValveKing
amps we knew we
wanted that elite feel
and high-end build
quality of a boutique
amp in an amp that
most working guitarists could afford,"
notes Peavey CEO
Hartley Peavey. "We
also wanted it to be
that rugged, go-to amp
that guitarists can't
wait to plug into. Now
the new generation of
ValveKing adds features and versatility
that raise that bar even
more.
In addition to its boutique - style qualities
and hot-rodded tones that guitarists have
come to expect from the ValveKing series, the
next generation line incorporates brand new
features for recording and performing musicians.
The new ValveKing features a USB direct
recording output, which connects the amp
directly into a Mac or PC. On the rear panel,
the built-in Peavey MSDI XLR direct interface eliminates the need for miking by allowing users to send the amp's signal directly to
a recording device or mixing console. To fully
take advantage of these recording capabilities, the new ValveKings feature a speaker
defeat switch that enables the amp to be used
as a direct recording device with no speaker
output.
With adjustable tone for rock, jazz, or
metal, the new generation ValveKings have
the capabilities to create almost an array of
dynamic tones. ValveKing's proprietary VariClass knob enables guitarists to adjust the
ValveKing's "class" characteristics, allowing
for complete power amp type versatility. True
to its name, ValveKing
even includes the new
TSI tube-monitoring
indicator that keeps
you apprised of the
health of your tubes!
Va l v e K i n g
offers other high-end
features like variable
power control, so players can tailor output to
your performance situation without compromising tone. With
triple 12AX7s, two
independent
footswitchable channels
each with their own
EQ, and the Vari-Class variable Class A/AB
simulation control, the next generation
ValveKing delivers massive amounts of completely customizable all-tube power.
The next generation ValveKing line
includes the new, portable ValveKing Micro
Head, the ValveKing Head, ValveKing
Combo 20, and ValveKing Combo 50, each
delivering its own array of pro features and
boutique tones. MSRP starts at $749.00 for
Valvek King 20 watt combo amp. Details can
