New Amp Help!
how can you not cut through? My other guitarist has one with a 1960 straight cab that has kept up fine with my 5150II, XXX, and Hughes and Kettner. Also my buds Triple recto, Splawn Nitro, Engl Powerball and a Splawn Quick-rod I used briefly.
It's 100 watts man. If thats not cutting you guys need to think about re-EQing as a band.....not individuals. The Valveking is a great amp for the $$ and I preferred it over my 5150II and XXX to be honest. 'Cept the 5150II brought "The Brutz" better.

This. A lot of people get this really beefy tone on youtube & the like, but when it comes to a full band situation, they don't cut through. Try bumping up the mids some, you'll be surprised at what a difference it makes.
Ya those are some loud amps. I would agree with Tegmal on this one. Try boosting your mids or get an eq pedal or rack. Makes a world of a difference. Other than that I think all mesa peavy marshall and all make great amps and its all on how you want to use them. I personally really want an engl retro 100 that i played a week ago but i dont think getting one for a grand is possible yet.
For a grand you can find a dual or triple rectifier from mesa. I have no problems with 5150/6505 but I prefer Mesa for both clean and rhythm. I do think the lead sound with the peavey is killer but try stuff out and see what works for you
