Peavey ValveKing 412 (BL)

4x12" Speaker
4x12 ValveKing with BL voicing (Balanced / modern scooped) therefore:
- Peavey base (more modern)
- answer less mid-forward than the BR
- more oriented towards modern rock / light metal
- SOUND CHARACTER
- more bass present and monitored
- medium more dug (minus Marshall)
- taller open
- more answer modern and clean
- in practice half between ValveKing BR (rock), Peavey 6505 (metal, but softer)

- more modern
- SM57 → attack and definition
- MD421 (variants) → more body
- SM7 (variants) → lead smooth
- Rezio → perfect here (modern tone)
BEST MATCH:
here they add warmth and reduce the "clean" character, useful for making the cab more analogue
very effective here and the cab handles hi-fi well
Use: also on high gain (better than BR)
