The best amp I have ever used Line 6 Flextone II XL stereo speakers 100 amps I regret the day i sold it for a b52 half stack. Anyways ive tried line 6 since and they all suck compared to that amp. I would give anything to own it and the foot board again but i cant find it anywhere :( only the single speaker one.

no but I got a spyder III and i love it!
The pre sets are amazing |
Line 6 stuff is ok. I have one of their pod's with footboard but don't use it much. I don't like the loss in tone from their stuff.
I use to play in a band and had a rack of gear... but now I only use a few items. Marshall JCM DSL 2000 50 watt head 4x12 Marshall cab Morley wah pedal Morley volume pedal Boss delay pedal Boss overdrive pedal If you are looking for a fantastic amp, I would check out the Peavey Valveking 212. Best sounding amp for the money out right now. I love the Marshall but even being a 50 watt head I can't crank it up. I have played the Valveking and love it. It will be my next purchase. Small enough to be a great practice amp and still big enough to play small clubs. |

Yea KB the presets to me were and are the best for the little money they want! |
Id stay away from any new pevey it sucks my girl got me it for christmas as i got back into playing guitar and its one of there newer models and i cry it sucks so bad.
There is a difference between the lame pedals line 6 came out with and the amps with the built in affects big difference. If ur going to spend the money then get a mesa boggie rectifier, since u cant find the line 6 amp i am talking about anymore :( ill upload a file example of a recording i did with the amp and u will see for a sub par recording the sound is just killer. |

If all you want to do is sound like everyone else, buy a Line 6 pod off ebay for 1/6 of the cost of the amp you are talking about. If you want a sound that melts butter... stay away from Line 6 as you will get bored of the generic sound it puts out. Check out the Peavy Valveking 212 and then respond in this thread. Don't get me wrong... Line 6 puts out decent stuff but it's not something you will be happy with 2 months down the road. I use to be a gear whore and tried everything. I owned the Digitech multi unit for about a week before I sold it. I learned if something is trying to do too much for a cheap cost, then it's not doing any one thing great. |

not the best recording but no loss of tone there and this is on a fender squire back in 02. |

What Peavy unit are you talking about? I have played the Valveking against other amps and nothing can touch it for the money. I suggest the 212 as it is perfect for most applications. The 112 doesn't have the guts to put out a quality tone. |
i got the 75 watt single speaker vypre and it sucks. all that it is is load, the tone sounds like shit quite and if u go to load its to damn low and if u kill the lows when its load all u get is fucking highs, biggest piece of shit ever, lucky i still have an os-2 pedal 2 get some kind of decent overdrive sound, and the effects wash away the sound, i swear worst amp i have ever tried. Id like a fender frontman over this shit.

I must add....
People think they need a high watt head but they don't realize they have to crank it up to get the tone out of the amp. When I bought my Marshall DSL 2000 I could have bought the 100 watt but I learned that I could get more of the real tone by having the 50 watt and being able to turn it up more. Even with the 50 watt I'm running a Marshall power brake to help control the volume yet keep the tone. Bigger is not always better... unless you are playing in a huge area, you don't need a 100 watt head. |
Never bought one, but used to use one when i was jamming with the band. Nice amps, go hard, and i love Line 6, can't go wrong. :-)

Here is the Valveking 212 at AMS
http://www.americanmusical.com/Item-...-VKING212-LIST http://www.americanmusical.com/Produ...rge/p35008.jpg Peavey ValveKing Amplifiers are All-tube guitar amps that combine boutique features and hot-rodded tones with legendary Peavey reliability. ValveKing amps feature a patent-pending, variable Class A/B control called Texture?, which allows sweepable selection between Class A and Class A/B power structures, as well as any combination of the two. Now you can coax virtually any tone from one tweaked-out amp. Preamp and power sections use 12AX7 and 6L6GC tubes, and drive specially voiced 12" ValveKing loudspeakers. Features include 2 footswitchable channels with independent, 3-band EQ and volume, plus a footswitchable gain/volume boost on the lead channel to provide extra volume for solos. ValveKing amps also feature global resonance, presence and reverb controls, and a buffered effects loop.

If you don't.... I will buy it off you. The only reason I have not bought one yet is I'm not playing as much anymore. But guitar is something I will never stray far from as a hobby. |
