So what are you spankin' the front end with, if anything? and if you're not, and you like it now - you'll flip when you do.

Something about the clarity of the EL84's vs. the EL34's, huh???? Notice the chime & definition even when distorted?

Awesome - congatulations Chuck !!!!

Re: VHT In The House!

Nothing yet! I have ODs and boosts arriving in the next few days. Yeah, it needs something to put it over the top for leads, but I'm really diggin the rhythm tone.
I probably don't use as much gain as most of ya'll, and I've found the higher gain the amp is, the less I can hear of the guitar.
I dig EL84s and have had a few amps with them...I keep coming back to them, too!

I just really like the tonality of this amp. The gain I can make...that's the easy part! Tone is not!

Killer little amps these VHT's....I'm super impressed and honestly think I've found a keeper on my end.

Say, any chance you can measure the width of the front panel for me? I'm thinking the 30 converted to a head would be sick - and think it might drop into a 45 shell.

Congrats on the tonequest again [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Nice. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I love EL84 amps, too. I also seem to prefer keeping the gain lower nowadays to bring out the guitar tone a little better.

Re: VHT In The House!

Nice grab Chuck, congratulations and welcome to the VHT world [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] What speakers do you have in your Avatar cab?

I have the 50 CL and I love that amp. I'm like you and don't need tons of gain, I think too much gain hides alot the natural tone of the amps. I'm more into the classic hrad rock/ metal tones of Rhoads, VH and Lynch etc. Usually the first time I play my VHT after a couple days and if I use a guitar tuned to Eb, after a couple minutes I start playing VH's ain't talkin bout love, it never fails...lol

My only complaint is the black chickenheads on a black faceplate [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I changed them to white



I also later picked up a VHT cab to match it, it has the P50E's that I wasn't sure I'd like them or not but it suites the VHT head nicely



there is a VHT board at http://vhtusers.com that Steve stops by every once in a while. Their customer service is pretty good too, there have been some delays on the new stuff but a great company who'd take care of you. I got mine on eBay used and they didn't care, they still called me back and answered my questions I had.

Re: VHT In The House!

Congratz Chuck. That is a great amp.

Re: VHT In The House!

Excellent Shawn! Thanks for the link and info!
I'm using the avatar cab w/one Vintage 30 and one G12H-30. It's an open back cab, and I need to make closed back for it, but thanks to my dad I have a very complete woodworking shop at my disposal, so that's no biggie.

Re: VHT In The House!

Congrats!! The 45s are great amps. I personally liked them better than the STs or CLs. I had a 45 1x12 combo in green and like the idiot I am, sold it. Last seen somewhere in Indiana.........please come back!!!

Re: VHT In The House!
