PRS playa, how does the valveking compare to a Marshall. I know its probably a silly question cause Marshalls are a world differnt, but does it give that really heavy creamy buzz like a Marshall.

The Valveking isn't going to get you close enough to a Marshall (it uses 6L6 power tubes, and Marshall's use EL34 power tubes). The Valveking is more like a little brother to a 5150. Great tones for the price, but it's no Marshall clone by any stretch of the imagination.

It's not a head, but I just picked up a Traynor YCV50 Blue 1x12 combo that puts out some real nice Marshall type tones. Here's the link to my review of it, which has a long sound clip I did of it. >LINK<
