OK, the plan was to relpace my Marshall head with the Randall RM4 > G-Major > EQ > VHT (all rack)but problems have made me second guess if I should continue on this path or find a pedal that will give me the distortion I crave. My Marshall (JCM 2000 TSL 100) is lacking in distortion imo. Also I was wanting to go a stereo route more then a rack route and the Marshall head has no loop/outputs for this. I have all of the above with the exception of the RM4.
So here is whats going on with the VHT. I ran an old digitech RP12 > G-Major > EQ > into the VHT and all is good until about a minute goes by, then the amp starts to make a popping sound that isnt affected by adjusting any of the knobs/buttons. It does stop popping if I turn off channel A (still pops with channel b off) or set it to "low power" . You can here a clicking sound coming from the tubes area at the same time the pop comes out of the speakers. It starts getting faster as time goes by until it gets to about a pop every 2 seconds. I can disconect everything from the amp including speakers and it will still make this clicking noise. Also, I let it cool down, disconnect everything, power back up, and it will still click when you power it up but doesnt click again for about a minute but gradually gets faster (doing the same as mentioned above). So I guess I have to send it back which is where I start thinking, maybe I should just get the RM100 (non rack) instead of trying to go the stereo route utilizing the G-Major. It just erks me that these tube heads don't have a stereo out/loop unless you go rack. I don't like the vetta so you can forget that. What would you do? Sorry for the long post
