If it sounds anything like my Marshall head I'd try it.

| John...I owned one recently and while I found it to be great for six string guitar, it was only adequite for steel. Also it is quite large, heavy and cumbersome to transport IMO. It was sold to a rock guitarist who is quite pleased with it. |

| John, I recently tried a valveking 212 combo, (not the head), found it ok in studio but not all that great on stage.Would asume it is same amp as the valveking head. |

| Fred, at volume it was not as clean as I would have liked it to be, but then again others may like that slight overdrive. |

Malcom I'm sure you made adjustments to that power knob on the right rear of the amplifier? phred

| Fred, I tried that, but only had a very short time with it ,as I had borrowed it from studio while my Nashville 400 was in for repair, and they needed it back.Will see if they will let me have it for a longer period so I can give it a good try. I have sent you an email.Regards Malcolm |

Malcolm got the email and am only posting here because what I have to say about the VK may help someone else. That power knob on the back changes the bias on some elements in the VK. I screwed around with it until I could run a high volume playing outside venues without "scratching" the tone. It worked well for me, but it took some fiddlin' with it until I was satisfied. I don't think I would like the VK 112 because it simply won't move enough air. After thought: I had to break the speakers in just as I did the Nashville 112's I played.
