I have had the Valveking 112 for about a year I guess. I moved to that from a Vox VT50 AD/XL, which I liked very much. The Vox was a bet overwhelming for someone like me though. I had no knowledge of what the amplifier was modeling. When I played on the VK112, I enjoyed it very much. Get a pedal to use it it and you will enjoy I hope. Looking forward to what you think of the VK.
