Subject:Valve King is way better than the price.
Quality: Much better than the price would indicate.
Sound: Nice shimmering clean sounds with a Strat. Good twang with a Tele. Humbuckers will scream through it with a nice warm crunch. The speaker is warm and smooth.
Reliability: I've used it in bars and private clubs and even some outdoor gigs, two and three nights a week for three and a half years without a single problem. I've ran the master volume anywhere from about three to eight and it always sounds good.
Overall: I've owned my Peavey Valve King 112 for three and a half years now. I haven't had a single problem with it. I play every weekend, year round. Usually two nights, sometimes more. I get excellent clean tones and nice warm crunch on the overdrive channel. I have, extensively, played an American Strat, American Tele, two Reverends, two Ibanez, a Carvin and a Les Paul through it. And I've played Classic Rock, Country, Soul, Funk and Blues through it with two fairly loud bands and it hasn't failed Me. Add an Ibanez Tube Screamer and this amp will SING. I've even compared it, side by side, with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and the only thing better on the Fender is the reverb. You can't find a better 50 watt 1X12 for twice the money.
Playability and Feel: n/a

Subject:Very good amp
Quality: Peavey has made a tank for $450
Reliability: Not one problem in my year and a half having it, after 5 gigs too.
Overall: Love it. Its not a JCM2000, but hey for this money you cant go wrong.
Playability and Feel: Tubes give that presence everyone craves, and this is no exception.
Tone: Everything. seriously, for this price it gives everything. The distortion is great. It's not going to replace a 2 grand amp but you cant complain at all.
Finish: Its the blandest looking amp out there, but seriously....who cares? the sound is important!
Action: amp lol
