Members SeeMoore Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 Originally posted by cobrahead1030 that's just the valve king combo (stock speaker swapped out for an eminence governer) with a 609 hanging over it, just off center power tubes are stock, i swapped out the v1 preamp tube for an EH 12ax7, i don't even remember what the stock v1 was...i changed it b/c it was microphonic Did you have any trouble getting the tubes out(preamp) ?I have a couple of lower gain 12ax7's I want to install in mine and can't seem to get the little sucker outta there.And, what is the order (V1, V2, ect) starting with the tube closest to the tranny?Thank's, any help will keep me sane.

Thank's, any help will keep me sane. I would also like to know. I tried taking a preamp tube out of mine for the heck of it and it seemed like i was pulling too hard, so i gave up. Has anyone actually replaced the stock speaker in the 112 combo with a Vintage 30? I was going to but it looks like the speaker magnet would hit the tube guard.BTW, I love this amp... Especially through a V30 loaded 4x12 cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had trouble getting V1 and V2 out at first so I pulled out a small Phillips head screwdriver and removed the tube shield bases and the tubes came out easier. Replaced the tubes with some Chinese 9th and screwed the shield bases back on and put the tube shields back on and all was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 the valveking can get SOMEWHAT close to 5150'ish tones, it's not as thick or meaty sounding tho...the 5150 has more agressiveness whereas the valveking is a bit smoother sounding...i'll try to do some more high gain clips maybe sometime this week, for chuggy riffing it works pretty well if you run it into a cab; otherwise it works ok, about as good as an open back combo can do IMO the preamp tubes in mine are also pretty hard to get out, since i wanted to check out the guts anyhow i actually pulled the chassis on mine when i had to replace a tube also...my governer sits no more than a millimeter from the tube gaurd so it's a REAL tight squeeze but it fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Father Jack Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hey i just got a Valveking 112 today. The cleans are so sexy, no problems there. But i just wanted some suggested settings for overdrive tones. Cobra, what did you use for the no more tears clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the clean channel a little too clean for my tastes. Wish it would break up just a little more. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe one of those high-gain rated 12AX7's might help. Wish the clean channel had a gain and master setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that I can think of is running it at full power and rolling back on the volume with your guitar, but the tone may suffer a bit. Then the only option left is just some sort of blues drive/tube screamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I am using (tube screamer setting on my Boss ME-50). Still not quite good enough. Would rather hear a touch of natural amp breakup.

Members Father Jack Posted January 10, 2006 Members Share Posted January 10, 2006 Wow.I just tried out my multi-effect pedal, Korg AX1500G, which was kinda meh with my old MG30DFX *shudders*And now it kicks arse. The distortions on it are chunky instead of fizzy and it has real punch, i will still be using the amp dist tho, coz it rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirZephyr Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Still waiting more higain soundclips from cobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted January 17, 2006 Members Share Posted January 17, 2006 Tried another one at a different store, same hum problem as the other two I tried. This one also had a high-pitched whine on the clean channel with the bright switch engaged. Peavey got the price right with these and the tone is decent but it seems there's still some bugs to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
