I have a peavey Valve King Stack. I heard that you can replace the peavey tubes with some differnt ones, you can get more gain/distortion. Is this true, and if so, what tubes do i need to get?

You can get tube sets that will give it a bit more gain. I don't know a lot about tubes but Eurotubes sell kits that offer higher gain for the valveking. https://ssl.eurotubes.com/cart/index.php?page=view_products&category_id=8&sub_category_id=158 I bought stuff from them before and didn't have any issues.

You don't need more distortion, you just need better tubes.

I Put a TungSol ECC38 in the V1, and all JJ 12AX7s (High Gain matched) in the other slots when I had my Valveking and it sounded great. Not as great as my Mesa but it still sounded great. If you want a GREAT amp for the money the Peavey Windsor is where its at.

Thanks for the Info guys. I almost bought a WIndsor Head, but I wanted a 2 channel amp, so I got the Valveking.

You should keep non-high gain preamp tubes in it and use an OD to push it instead.

you don't need any more gain those ones have plenty, as simon said, better tubes!

just get some solid tubes and boost it! I've heard a boosted valve king sound brutal

I have, and I was absolutely floored: VK halfstack, MT-2 dialed in as a boost, and LTD singlecut. It sounded ridiculous once I got the kid to turn his mids up.

How wold i set u the MT-2 as a boost? I have one on my pedalboard

Turn the gain either off or very low, level either max or very high, then have the eq pretty flat or with a slight mid boost and low cut

Ill give that a try this weekend to see how it goes (the stack isnt at my house)
Thanks again dude.
