®
Tube Amplifiers
Congratulations on the purchase of your new ValveKing
tube amplifier from Peavey. The latest ValveKing
series
®
®
offers even more tube "Bang For Your Buck" than any other amp on the market.
The patented Vari-Class
control allows for total control over the power amp dynamics and level by allowing for a
™
"Class A" simulation or full-power "Class A/B operation"... or anything in between!
Two channels bring optimum flexibility in a small package. The Clean channel includes a Bright switch and separate
three-band passive EQ (except for 20MH), allowing the Lead tone to be even more fine-tuned. The Lead channel also
includes a footswitchable Boost feature. Depending on the specific model, this Boost may be selected for Gain and/
or Volume via the front panel switches and footswitch. This capability gives you the equivalent of a three channel
amp for the price of two.
Both channels share lush reverb and an effects loop, again both footswitchable.
Also the 20 and 50 combos both include a Damping control, while the 100 head offers Resonance and Presence
controls for even more flexibility.
Other features on the rear panel include: Microphone Simulated Direct Interface (MSDI
) with balanced XLR output
™
as well as USB out, external speaker outputs and impedance switch, speaker defeat switch and 3 position power
attenuator switch.
Before you begin playing through your amplifier, it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC
line voltage supplied. This is shown on the voltage selector switch near the IEC inlet on the rear panel of the unit.
Each product feature is numbered. Refer to the front panel diagram in this manual to locate the particular feature
next to its number.
Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier, not to mention
being able to get the best out of it by fully understanding the features.
