Peavey Forum

Does anyone know if the speaker resistance selector on the back of the Valveking II allows one to switch to an 8 ohm speaker from the 16 ohm that is in there now? It seems that it should but I just wanted to make sure before I made a speaker change to an 8 ohm one.

Boy Enzo is really going to be missed around here. He gave useful, factual information selflessly for many years. My sincere condolences to his family. RIP Enzo.

I think I am going to pass. I have a perfectly working Valveking II which I realize is not in the same class as the Classic 30 but I really don't want to deal with headaches. Thanks for your replies.

I have a chance to purchase a 5 year old Classic 30 from the original owner. It has only been gigged once. The owner tells me it had to have all power tubes replaced because somehow a fuse blew. Now he tells me that the LED power light isn't on but the amp works fine. He has all receipts. Should I p...

My Peavey footswitch on this particular amp only controls gain and normal channels. I have not been able to get it to control reverb.

Alright Enzo thanks. I just wasn't sure the suggested method was accurate enough...it just seems too easy as compared to other amps I have.

Hello all, I was going to check the bias on this particular amp and the info I have found is that you adjust the trim pot so that the TSI indicator LED's go from back red to green. Adjust the bias so it goes a little past green. Is anyone aware of some some values the bias can be set at? The method ...

Thanks for the reply. I sprayed Deoxit on everything except I forgot to do the headphone jack as it is controlled by the volume and guess what...it seemed to work. Hopefully problem solved.

Hello all,

The volume in my amp will suddenly increase after a few minutes of playing then go down again. I have tried spraying deoxit in the rotary portion of all knobs but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have the same whine in my Vypyr VIP 1 as well. Have you found a solution?

Just one other thing. I find OD pedals sound better outside the chain than in the loop. Just my 2 cents.

I have this particular amp. Great clean channel but dirty channel a little too harsh for my tastes. It does take pedals well. I feel the price on the used market for this amp is really incredible. I recently bought a Marshall40 DSL amp used because it was a great price. The Marshall does not have as...

Great job. Very innovative tolex and more importantly sounds good too.

Yeah, but the price point on the Invective compared to the VK II...

Especially when i purchased mine as a floor model with full warranty for $350.

This really is a damn shame. I love my VKII 50watts and for the money nothing comes close. I guess there are too many choices for amps today but not enough players take the time to try and dial in the sound they need.
