Laney LC-30 II or Laney LC-15R

 

Peavey Valve King 212

 

Fender Pro Junior

[Caevan O'Shite]

For your stated mission of Hard Rock/Metal duties, I'd go with either the Laney LC-30 II, Laney VC30-112, or the Peavey Valve King 112.

[Bluesape]

Laney all the way!

[alex2zulu]

cool thanx guys (like the pic ^)

 

i was leaning tward the laney, seems they have a good rep and dont tend to break like the marshalls, or so ive heard.

 

do you think that i could use a boss metal zone to overdrive it (seeing that i already own one) or would thins be the dumbest question that u have ever eard ?

 

thanx again

Don't forget about the Peavey Classic!!

Laney would suit hard rock best IMO, but i think the peavey valvekings are cheaper

Of the amps you listed I'd be most interested in the Laney's as well. I don't know which models you are listing there but Laney's I've played and heard are all good.

 

You should add Ampeg to your list as they have a couple of amps that might do what you're looking for.

I use a VC30 112, and I have to say that I dont really think it would be suited for hard rock/metal sorta stuff. It suits my blues rock stuff very well though.

I use a peavey Classic 30 great for blues and Rock but for your needs I feel the VC 30 11 comes the closest. However you do seem to have chosen Classic type valve amps, most suited to rock, Blues & so forth, when you might do better to look at high gain amps. You may like to look at the Marshall AVT 100 X 100w Channel 1X12 Combo at less than £300 3 channels.. clean... rock and metal. I am sure there are alot more out there. Try before you buy thats the way to go!
