The Supreme is the same as an XXL, but with just two channels. Since the XXL's two distortion channels can be dialed in the same, you just lose a little versatility with the Supreme XL. The Peavey TransTube amps come closer to tube tone than most other tube-emulating SS amps, and of course the Supreme can be found all over the place used for less than half the price of a new VK. I think the Supreme is/was USA-made if that is a factor for you.

While the Transtubes sound nice I would think the valveking would sound just a tad nicer, ive tried a few combos and the head and they all sounded decent to me, with a little tweaking you should easily get the tones your looking for...
Throw an EQ in the loop which should make it sound a little better too....
Check out youtube for some videos for the idea's of the tones you can get the loomis guitar review has the best tone imo...

Actually, the valveking doesnt come with a footswitch, so you have to buy one separately, which means you can buy any footswitch for it

I played a Valveking 1x12 and liked it for what it is... a low cost tube amp. The thing actually sounds pretty good. I've thought about picking one up.
Another cool cheapish tube amp to check out is the Epiphone SoCal. It has a nice Marshallish, high mid crunch going on. Probably wouldn't work for metal, but a nice rock amp.
