Valve King Series 100/112/212All Tube AmplifiersENGLISHCongratulations on the purchase of your new Valve King tube amplifier from Peavey. The Valve King series offers moreall-tube “Bang For Your Buck” than any other amp on the market.Two channels offer optimum flexibility in a small package. The Clean channel includes a Bright switch and separate three-bandpassive EQ, allowing the Lead tone to be even more fine-tuned.The all new patent pending “Texture” control (Rear Panel), allows for total control over the power amp dynamics and level byallowing for a “Class A” simulation or full power “Class A/B” operation…or anything in between!!! The Lead channel also includesa footswitchable Boost feature. This Boost may be selected for Gain, Volume, or both types simultaneously, via the frontpanel switches. This capability emulates the third channel found on some other model amps and gives you the equivalent of athird channel for the price of two. Both channels share a two-spring premium reverb pan and effects loop. An External SpeakerJack and Resonance Switch are included to expand your playing options on the Valve King 112. The Valve King 212 andValve King 100 Head offer Resonance to Presence controls, for even more flexibility.Before you begin playing through your amplifier, it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper ACline voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your amp printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on therear panel of the unit. Each product feature is numbered. Refer to the front panel diagram in this manual to locate theparticular features next to it's number.Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier.FEATURES:• 6L6GC power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes.• Patent pending TEXTURE control.• Two footswitchable channels with independent, three-band EQ.• Footswitchable Gain/Volume Boost on the Lead channel.• Global Resonance, Presence, and Reverb controls.• Buffered Effects Loop.• Paralleled Speaker Jacks (Head and Valve King 212 only).• Spring Reverb with level control.VENTILATION: For proper ventilation, allow 24" clearance from nearest combustible surface.

It is 10 dB louder than Low Gain input.LOW GAIN INPUTProvided for instruments that have extremely high outputs, which can result in overdriving (distorting)the High Gain input. If both inputs are used simultaneously, the levels are the same (both are Low Gain).VOLUMEControls the volume level of the Clean channel.BRIGHT SWITCHProvides a preset boost to treble frequencies. To activate, depress the switch to its “in” position.CHANNEL SELECT SWITCHAllows selection of the Lead or Clean channel. The “in” position of the switch selects the Lead channeland the “out” position selects Clean.NOTE: Channel selection may also be achieved by using the optional remote footswitch (#00579720).If remote selection is desired, the CHANNEL SWITCH (#5) must be in the “in” (Lead) position.BASS, MIDDLE AND TREBLE EQPassive tone controls that regulate the low, mid, and high frequencies of the Clean channel.GAINControls the input volume level of the Lead channel.GAIN BOOSTActs as an extension to the GAIN control (#7). When depressed, this switch increases the preamp gainto add more distortion. The GAIN BOOST (#8) may be selected independently or in conjunction with theVOLUME BOOST (#9). This feature can be controlled via the optional footswitch (#00579720). NOTE:Activating this feature is comparable to turning up the Gain control, thus increasing distortion.VOLUME BOOSTActs as an extension to the VOLUME control (#10). When depressed, this switch boosts the overallvolume level of the Lead channel. The VOLUME BOOST may be selected independently or in conjunctionwith the GAIN BOOST (#8). This feature can be controlled via the optional footswitch (#00579720).NOTE: Activating this feature is comparable to turning up the VOLUME control, thus increasing loudness.VOLUMEControls the overall output level of the Lead channel.

This is aswitching jack. Inserting a plug into this jack will break the signal path until it is returned via theEFFECTS SEND (#13) jack.RESONANCE (Valve King 212 and 100 Head only)This patented feature, available only from Peavey, is used to fine-tune the low-frequency response anddamping factor of the power amp section. At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move morefreely at low frequencies, resulting in more apparent low end, with slightly less signal clarity at maximumsettings.PRESENCE (Valve King 212 and 100 Head only)This control is used to fine-tune the high-frequency response and damping factor of the power amp section.At higher settings, the speakers are allowed to move more freely at high frequencies, resulting inmore apparent high end.PILOT LIGHTIlluminates when AC power is being supplied to the amp.STANDBY SWITCHPlacing this switch in the “Standby” position will effectively shut the amp off while leaving the tube filamentson. Leave this switch in the “Standby” position for a minimum of one (1) minute after engagingthe POWER SWITCH (#19). This is also a useful feature, since much tube wear comes from the heatingand cooling of the tube itself. Leaving the unit in “Standby” when you take a break allows the tubes tostay warm while you are not playing. To immediately resume normal amp operation with no warm-updelay, place the switch in the “on” position. NOTE: This switch does not replace the POWER SWITCH(#19). When you are ready to stop playing for an extended period of time, it is better to turn the amp offvia the POWER SWITCH (#19).POWER SWITCHTo apply power to the unit, flip the switch to the “on” position. The red PILOT LIGHT (#17) will illuminate,indicating power is being supplied.

FUSEFUSEFUSERear Panel21 22202021 22202022AC POWER INLET:This is the receptacle for an IEC line cord, which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord tothis connector to provide power to the unit. Damage to the equipment may result if improper line voltageis used. (See line voltage marking on unit).21Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet useddoes not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should begrounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always make sure that the amplifier andall associated equipment is properly grounded.NOTE: FOR UK ONLYAs the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markingsidentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire which is colored green andyellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E, or by the earth symbol, orcolored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminalwhich is marked with the letter N, or the color black. (3) The wire which is colored brown must be connectedto the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or the color red.To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not place fingers or any other objects into empty tube socketswhile power is being supplied to unit.2122TEXTUREThis a new patent pending feature available only from Peavey, used to fine-tune the power sensitivity,response, and “break-up” of the power amp section of your Valve King amplifier. Normal, full-power,Class A/B operation results when the TEXTURE (#21) control is set at its full clockwise (wide open) positionand should be used as a starting point when setting this control. As the TEXTURE (#21) control isrotated counter-clockwise, the effect of one half of the 6L6GC power tubes is progressively subtractedfrom the circuit, while the gain of the driver tube is slowly increased. The driver's low-frequencyresponse is also altered, along with the gain, resulting in more even-ordered harmonic distortion fromyour power amp, even at lower-than-stage-volume settings. Finally, with the TEXTURE (#21) knob inthe full counter-clockwise position, the result is a real single-ended power amp section that operatesand responds exactly like a true Class A power amp, driven by a real single-ended high-gain tube stage.This setting still allows the unused power tube(s) to draw idle current, thus retaining the efficiency ofthe standard Class A/B topology. In this mode, power output is also reduced by as much as 60% versusmaximum rated power.EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACKProvided for connection of external speaker cabinet(s). Minimum external speaker impedance is16 Ω on the Valve King112. This disconnects the internal speaker in the Valve King 112.Load Impedance is selectable via the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR (25) on the Valve King 212 andValve King 10010

FUSEFUSEFUSERear Panel2425232423242525RESONANCE SWITCH (Valve King 112 only)Used to fine-tune the low frequency range of the speaker enclosure by varying the damping factor of theamplifier between two presets. In the “Loose” position, the speaker will produce the most lows with aslight sacrifice of signal clarity. In the “Tight” position, the speaker will produce the most lows with aslightly cleaner signal output. It is better to experiment with this switch to find which setting is best foryour sound.FOOTSWITCH JACKProvided for the connection of the optional footswitch (#00579720). The footswitch is used to select theLead or Clean channels and to activate/defeat the BOOST SWITCHES (#8)&(#9) within the Lead channel.LED’s on the footswitch illuminate to indicate current settings. The footswitch turns on and off eitherone or both Boost functions (Gain and Volume) as selected by the front panel switches. If no switch isdepressed in the Boost section, the Boost footswitch does not function. When using the footswitch,always insert the plug fully (second click) into the FOOTSWITCH JACK (#24) to insure proper operation.IMPEDANCE SELECTOR (Valve King 212 and 100 Head only)This three-position switch allows appropriate selection of speaker cabinet impedance. If two enclosuresof equal impedance are used, the switch should be set to half the individual value. For example,two 16 Ω enclosures necessitate an 8 Ω setting, while two 8 Ω enclosures would require a 4 Ω setting.Minimum speaker impedance is 4 Ω.2411
