which to keep - blue voodoo or valve king?

[dani]

hey guys.

i've decided it's time to sell one of my amps. i have a peavey valve king, and a crate blue voodoo. both heads, both 120 watt 6L6 amps.. (i didn't realise that when i bought the second one.. hah)

which one do you guys think i should keep? aesthetically, the valve king is in better condition the valves haven't been used much either.

the blue voodoo isn't in such good condition. the valves are a bit old (not had them changed since i've had it) and the input jack needs some sort of solder work (which i should really get round to!).

the plan is, sell an amp, gut a 2x12 i have in my possession, re-tolex it, and add some celestion speakers, and use that for my recordings!

which one should i sell? or maybe i should sell both? any feedback is much appreciated.

ive tried them valve kings and although i like other peavey tube amps, i think that totally sucks! so if you had to keep one then id say the BV, but maybe sell them both and get something all round better!

If you have to keep one, I vote for the blue voodoo

i played the bv a few years ago at a shop for about half an hour, and i really liked it back then

so i vote "keep the blue voodoo"

If you don't feel like selling both: Sell one, smash the other ---> feel good.

Keep the one that you think sounds better.

haha, i was half expecting this thread to sink!

thanks for the feedback guys.

personally i did think about selling both.. it seems if i want to do anything serious it's gonna be what i have to do.. :/

which brings me to my second question. how the hell do i ship something as heavy as one of those?! i'm in the UK, if that makes a difference.

thanks,
