I don't have a Bivalve, but I've got a Univalve that's pretty damn cool! They're great self-biasing amps with noise reduction and power attenuation built in, and you can even go line out (line level or instrument level) to another amp or recording console without needing a speaker load since it's got its own built-in dummy load. Check out THD's site. http://www.thdelectronics.com/

They used to have a forum, but I guess it's gone now. $800 is a nice price for the Bivalve.

I had a Univalve...as Joe said, it's a great little amp. If you're looking for a tweaker of an amp that will get you loads of killer clean, blues and rock tones, that's a great price...just remember, you'll start buying a bunch of tubes on top of that to mess around with! High quality design and build.

I looked at these before I bought my amp, and I really liked the idea of it, but it didn't seem to have a real "metal tone" from the reviews - more of a blues/rock kind of thing.

I considered buying one from Guitar Center just so I could send it back if I didn't like it.

It definitely needs a pedal to boost it for heavier metal.
It's also a really good bass amp when using it with a larger tube like a KT88 (plugged into a nice bass speaker cab, of course).

Yeah...it's not gonna get you into high gain territory on its own, but it takes pedals well.

Still mulling it over not snagged it yet.

There's one on Ebay with matching cab for $1000.00.
