Buying my first tube amp.[views:4407][posts:8]___________________________________ [Feb 19,2013 12:14pm - fernando ""] Have it narrowed down to the Peavey Valveking 100 watt 212 or the Peavey Ultra 60 watt 212. I'm leaning towards the Ultra (one more preamp tube, less wattage, 'better construction' (?)) but was wondering what you guys would do. |
