I asked Roger about this and he showed that the case is pre-drilled for feet in multiple places so that it'll sit securely in either orientation. There will be some overhang though with the cab vertical.

+1 The head case has two sets of tee-nuts for mounting the feet. One set for a wider stance to use on cabs horizontally and anther set of tee-nuts set in a bit that will allow the head case to sit on top of a ML112 stacked vertically.

I'm crushing hard on Val right now.

I don't have any sound samples but I basically played in a giant sheetrock box and it STILL sound KILLER.

I honestly just wanted to keep playing all night long just to hear myself.

And I wasn't even being super crazy! All in the pocket simple groove shizz and it all sounded rad.

So happy right now with my rig... So damn happy.

Thanks again Roger!

Hey Chris,
Glad to hear the cab is working out for you and giving you the sound that you were after! I know it takes a leap of faith to buy our products without being able to try them first, so it's always really cool for us when we hear that our customers are happy with their cabs!

Saluki · #**185** 02-03-2013, 02:46 PM

Ah Roger, not sure I have ever been happier with a cab purchase! Thanks!!!!

Art Araya · #**186** 02-04-2013, 09:07 PM

New ml112 on its way.

Thanks Roger!

Oof. I've always wanted someone to make a head like the Valkyrie, and here we are. :I

28lbs would be starting to push it with a rack bag, but I guess if I went from the AG500 and two GS112's to a Valkyrie and two ML112's I'd be down 10 pounds in total. Hmm...

edit: It's probably too late, but I'm going to put a vote in for removable rack ears.

When I heared that the colour of the amp would change from red to black (for very good ecological reasons), I felt a bit sorry because there are already so many black amps out there. But this amp looks good. (Now I want one.)

I think the Baer amp in Black and Silver is one the classiest looking amps I've ever seen. All the way down to the knobs and graphics font, layout ...Wow ...just WOW! Stunning.

Concur!
I bet I can get one of those to work really well for me, and, it's certainly no heavier than an M9 or 1001, both of which move/pack easily enough.

+1 That is 'Glockenklang pretty'

Eublet · #**192** 02-05-2013, 09:14 AM

I like the red and black version. The black is a little more practical on some stages though.

They actually look even better in person. The Baer logo is I believe an inset badge, and it looks really sharp, up close.

And while you aren't going to be tempted to bounce it around like a beach ball, I have to say, that it's a very manageable weight and size.

jasonbraatz · #**194** 02-05-2013, 10:43 AM

The black & silver looks incredible, and those knobs are super expensive.

Did I miss a price estimate somewhere?

jasonbraatz · #**196** 02-05-2013, 10:57 AM

Yeah, that's what I'm expecting. It looks like it'd be worth it, though.

Yeah, I was just being humorous in the sense that no amount of money will get you one just yet it seems. I think ultimately the price will be EXTREMELY fair for what this head brings to the table.

Was running Monique into the Puma 900 power section, first set with the Lull M4v, second with the YYD. The pair of cabs flat out killed. It is good to be a bit loud and drive the band sometimes. I could feel the hair on my arm getting pushed around when I leaned into it (helps when you're standing *right* in front of the cab). Really nice edge and grit from the Monique/ML112 combo. Sax players turned around beginning of the second set and said, "damn, that sounds good."

win.

Just curious, obviously we can't see the rig, or the room itself, how did you have them stacked, horizontal or vertical?

Addison · #**199** 02-05-2013, 12:09 PM

I hope Roger doesn't mind me saying this, but I remember him telling me one time that the price of the Valkyrie would be comparable to other amps in the same category... somewhere between the DB750 and Mesa M9.

That was a while ago, so it might have changed... but that's what I remember.

Vertical - I always run that way, either single or double cab. The closer I can get to my ear the better.
