Peavey Valve King Head and Marshall AVT Cab = Noob question?

Question

Hi there. I have a Peavey Valve King 100 head, and have my eye set on a marshall AVT B (or AVT412XB) cab. Before I go ahead and buy, I need to be sure these two can definetly connect up. Can they?

Thanks

Answer 1

that shouldn't be a problem at all



the main thing, is to make sure that the cab is rated for MORE power, than the head puts out

so you don't blow the speakers



keep in mind, that the head will actually put out quite a bit MORE power, than 100 watts



that's the CLEAN power it will put out

once you drive it into distortion, the power can be well over 100 watts



that's why you want the cab, to handle MORE than a 100 watts



good luck

As far as tone goes...that's entirely subjective. What sounds great to one person will sound like garbage to another (funny story about that in a minute).



Since you're dealing with a tube head, you need to make sure that the impedance on the cabinet can be matched to one of the outputs on the amp.



The Valve King can output 4, 8, or 16 ohms. From what I can see, the AVT cabinet can either be set up for 4 or 16 ohms in mono.



I'd recommend a 16 ohm setup for a tube amp. It works the power stage a little more efficiently, and you have a little less loss in the speaker wire between the amp and the head.



And now...a funny story about tone. Many years ago, a buddy of mine was an amp tech at Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas Music here in Austin (the place where Stevie Ray bought his #1 Strat). Anyway, one day the bass player for the Butt Hole Surfers brings in this combo amp he used at the clubs. The amp needed a new pot installed or something similar. The last thing he told my friend...."Hey man, the speaker is blown, but DON'T FIX IT. I like the way it sounds".

Is it genuine they are able to droop an IP handle? through fact i've got misplaced 3 bills now. And all of it took place one suitable after the different. The final account they suspended previously I even have been given to apply it. No Q's or A's in any respect. Edit; "Noob". Is that what's contained in a preparation bra? Yeah i understand it is undesirable. yet i could not face as much as.
