Anybody tried out one of the new Peavey Valveverbs? I'm looking for a compact tube amp and I like the idea of 6L6's but haven't seen any reviews on them yet......

The Valveverb was a rackmount 'verb and tremolo unit. I've heard that the first Valve Kings are just hitting the stores, but haven't seen one in person yet. Buzzboy August 26th, 2005, 08:01 AM Yeah....I meant the ValveKing (I just dug my Valverb out of the closet and had it on my mind). This new amp sounds promising....switchable between class A and A/B, etc. Deacon Blues August 27th, 2005, 11:30 AM but I've always wanted to try a Valveverb. How does the reverb sound? Fendery tubey and wet, or digital? What about the tremolo? Tick tock noise or quiet? e-merlin August 28th, 2005, 10:17 PM Those Valverbs kill! Wish I had bought one when they came out... The Valve King is just hitting the market so I doubt anyone has had experience with one. Buzzboy September 4th, 2005, 01:30 PM I was in a music store out of town a couple of years ago and spotted one in a rack display with a bunch of other effects....they were dusty and didn't look like they'd been turned on for some time. I really didn't know anything about them and offered the guy $150 for it and he accepted. I used it a little, then packed it away as most of my amps have reverb. From what I remember it had a great sound and I'm planning on plugging it into one of my Pro Jr's real soon. There's good reviews on Harmony Central as well as some simple mods/suggestions. It was a littly "boingy" if set too hot but here's one of the suggestions...will probably give it a try: http://members.aol.com/danzprod/Valverb_Magnet_Mod.JPG |
