A great value. evcellent bang for the buck

10 out of 10
Feature:
The options are awesome. I haven't had an amp with Class A/AB distortion in a long time, and this amp has all that and then some. The equalizer and treble/bass boost are a godsend, and even though I rarely use the reverb, (I have a Boss FDR-1 for that) it sounds decent.
Quality:
When I first got it, I had the company replace the tubes because they were broken on arrival, but after that, it hasn't given me too much of a problem. You might want to tighten everything up on the control panel, though, before you start messing with it. The washers and nuts/bolts tend to come loose if you mess around with them too much, and they're a pain to get back in position if you let them fall in.
Value:
For the price, it kicks Marshall out of existence in my book. It's a little pricey for a 112, but you'll understand why when you hear it. I had a Fender FM212R and this thing blew it out of the water.
Desirability:
I know the ValveKing isn't even Peavey's best amp. That said, it's phenomenal. The sound has allowed me to get some numbers.
Sound:
I love the sound this thing makes. The equalizer is great, but even better is the boosts. Peavey has the absolute most wicked distortion I've ever heard. I use the treble boost for leads and the bass boost for rhythm, and it really screams. And even though it's a high-gain amp, it takes quite a bit to get it to feedback, which is good in my case.
Ease of Use:
Obviously, you're not gonna give it to a four-year-old and see if he can mess with the EQ and turn on the tubes the right way, but for guitar veterans it really is easy to use and very maneuverable. I get sounds from BB King to Cannibal Corpse after messing with the equalizer and boosters.
Support:
Peavey is great with support. They replaced an entire amp for free with no hassle when I told them my Rage 258 blew, and they also replaced the tubes on this particular amp when they were dead on arrival.
Overall:
The only time I would sell this thing is either to get the 212 version or the stack with the head. If anything happened to it, I'd either buy it again or upgrade to the stack.
