I forgot. What about the Peavey Valveking.

Now that would be funny, if it wasn't very, very sad.   Have you ever played a Valveking ?

No I haven't Mr Arrogance. I'm going by clips on youtube and MP3's which is why I said 'Seem to'.

I used to, but I traded it for a VC50 with CrazyJoe. I loved the VH100R and it's pretty much the same as the VC50. But obviously a bit different because of the speakers and it's an open back combo.

It does need to be turned up loud, it shines when it's played loud like most valve amps. For really tight stuff with my 7 string I use a BodenHamer Bloody Murder or SD-1 with a MXR Eq in the FX loop. It makes it more 'chuggy' and gives the overall sound a little extra kick. Without the pedals it's very marshall like but 'more'. The clean tone is gorgeous, very warm and almost fender'ish'. The mid gain tones are very warm too and has alot of 'depth' in it's tone.

I put G12K-100's in there because of their increased bass frequencies. But the mids are much 'sweeter' sounding and the highs and kinda rounded off so you don't get any high picky treble. They cost about £25 each so they're pretty cheap but one of the best speakers about.

If you get it and think the treble is a bit 'too much' it can be tamed. You just turn the treble control right down and bring the presence control right up. It's something alot of Laney users seem to do. Deffinatly worth the £200 asking price because you get a hell of alot of amp.

That's a good reperensentation of what the VC50 can sound like. It gets tighter than that. My tones a bit more saturated than that video and little more 'chuggy' with the VC50 and my mods/pedals.

well that sounds pretty heavy considering hes got the gain on 5 !!! Would it get that heavy with el34s or only 6l6s? And steve youve been very helpful!! By the ofchance you could do a little vid/sound clip (send in email if you want) of how heavy urs can get, and maybe do some eric johnson type tones. Someone i know who owns the vh100r says the reverb is just "meh" as he puts it, would you say the verb is good or not really, and just average?

Wasn't a comment on you Steve, but a comment about the VK, which is right down there with my least favourite amps of all time.  Sorry I offended you, forgot my winking, tongue in cheek emoticon again.  :(
