Replacing amp

[zerosk8r900]

I'm trying to replace my Vox AD50VT with the Line 6 Flextone III XL or a Peavey ValveKing 212 Combo and I want some feedback about these 2 combos. If there are any other combos that someone could recommend me that give off 150 watts or more and are in the price range of the other two, that would be good also.

what about the ad100vt-xl? kinda between the line 6 and peavy, but the best way to decide is to go a play em all.

Flextone 3 is a good choice. Its loud, and with time you can dial some great tone out of it. I dont like the valveking, I think the b52 At-100 combo is better. But if you can find one, the ampeg vh140c 2-12 combo is my favorite. You might have to keep searching ebay or pawnshops for that one.:hat

Are B-52's relialbe? I've never really looked into them, but they seem like they have some decent all tube amps. What about their ST-100A head or their AT-100 head or their AT-212 combo? Are their cabinets good or whould i need to get a cab from a different company?

I personally don't like 'em one bit...

the only time I've heard one, it was a half-stack, dunno if it was a solidstate or tube, but it sounded SOOOO crappy and thin...

I'd much rather get a Flextone III XL or a Randall G3 half-stack...

I think the B-52 ST-100 sucks really bad, the AT-100 is alot better sounding but you have to dail it in. I would take the AT-100 over the valveking, but thinking about it, the flextone III is still a better choice:cool:

I played the Flextone III XL and the AT-100 they're both good, but I like the tube sound/tone more. Is there any $600-800 tube combo's that are really good?

i dont recommend the valveking, but i recently bought a peavey XXX 212 120 watt combo and i love it

oh they dont make the 212 anymore i snagged one on ebay for only 450 bucks lol

[daddydoomsday]

You could probably find a 5150/6505 combo used for that price. One time I saw a Mesa dual recto 2-12 for $899 used. That was a while ago.

Rule number 1 when buying an amp, if you haven't played it, don't buy it.
