    I'm still digging my Traynor custom special 50.



    I am probably going to re-tube it with EL34's but I may much around with the pre-amp tubes first.

      My VK212 worked well with the GT-8 and the 4cm either for effects or using the gt8's sims..

      I know some people have knocked the clean channel well adn the od not being brutal enough but I am always more than happy with the valveking if practising at a fairly quiet volume or blaring at a gig...

      The 50 watt should be mroe than loud enough but I do prefer the 100 watts as they come with a presence and resonance control...

      You could also look fora 50/100watt fender combo with an fx loop, dont get a nice stock clean than them really..

        After using both a 60W and a 100W amp at gigs, I definitely prefer the 100W. Not so much for volume, but for clean headroom. The 60W amp started breaking up much earlier and I couldn't really get a clean clean at "play with a loud drummer" volume. No problems with the 100W.

          The Vypyr is a great modeling amp, I heard about reliability problems thou. There is a long discussion on the Peavey's forums regarding unstable firmware. Hopefully this has been fixed now.

            I just got a Line 6 spider valve (first generation) new on closeout for $399 shipped. I think Musicians Friend or American Musical Supply still has some. Best money I ever spent for portable tone. It's a 50 watt 1x12 tube combo with all the effects built in and weighs only 45 lbs.
