Anyone had any experience with these?

They get glowing reports on the various review site I've been on, including Harmony Central.

I've sourced one in the UK and the 100W Head and 4x12 Cab are less than £500 the pair!

This in itself is off-putting (the Skoda principle I call it), but my understanding is that this Chinese-built kit is very well made and sounds the biz.

I have just ordered a Hughes & Kettner Trilogy half-stack, but am wondering that, given my status as a no-frills "defensive midfielder" of a guitarist, if it's really worth paying 1500 samolians for a H&K rig when I can get a decent set-up for a third of the price?

Thoughts?

Don't know about this particular amp, but my experience with Peavey valve gear has always been good.

Are you really going to be able to use a 100w head that often though?

I'd like the opportunity to

I think the Valveking head comes in one 100W flavour - if they did a 50W, I'd go for that instead.

My amp is 50w, and it's just no use for in the house. Even at gigs the most I've had it up to is 3 or 4 or something.

50watts is insanely loud. My Mesa is a 50watter and bejesus its loud. At practise I only ever have it at 4. Very loud. 100 watts is insane.

I've never had my 100w JCM900 over 8, it gets far too scary. It's insanely loud. Live, I've always knocked it down to 50w, and never had it past 4, and it's still super loud.

I played a gig with my new amp set to 5W last week.

I had the master volume at 2.

It was too loud.
