Can anyone help with this?
I have an older Valveking 100watt head.
I have 2 issues with it:
1: The reverb is VERY noisy when set above 2 or 3.
2:The bright switch on the clean channel is way too bright to the point of
sounding "brittle" or "shrill." It's basically unusable.
Anyone have any solutions to this?
Thanks.

Re: Valveking troubles
The bright switch is a simple fix for a qualified tech. Most bright switch caps are set to create a dramatic effect. You can certainly change that cap for less highs. As far as the reverb noise, what type of noise are you talking about? Crackling? Hum?

Thanks for responding.
I am able to change the bright switch cap- just need to know which one and what value to change it to.
Can't find a schematic.
As for the reverb it's a hum/fizz type of noise, if that makes sense.

Re: Valveking troubles
have you tried contacting peavey for the schematic?

I do not have the schematic, but once you locate one, look for the cap attached to the bright switch. If its a 120pf (value used for example only) change it to a 100pf. if thats still too bright, go lower value.
As for the reverb hum, try moving the cables and see if the hum goes away. If its a tank reverb, clean all connectors and verify they are fully connected
