Well, my cab came in via UPS yesterday and I was notified (by the store) my amp was in as well.
So, I picked up my VHT Deliverance 60 to set on top of my VHT Fatbottom 2x12. I'm stoked. I sold some of my other stuff (Mesa/Engl) so I could downsize my rig and I think I made a solid choice.
This VHT is amazing (honestly I was regretting it for the first 2-3 mins until I found a tone). This amp can go from "good" clean to crushing distortion and nail pretty much anything in between (does a good plexi type tone too, IMO). There are only 8 knobs but it's really a "tweakers" amp in a sense b/c of all the tonal possibilities. I threw a boost in front of it this morning (yes, I'm up @ 8:00a.m. playing) and wow it takes a boost REALLY well. I still dig the EL-34 crunch I found in my Mesa Stiletto a bit better (contrary to popular opinion the Stiletto w/ a boost is an animal) but given time I think I can push the VHT into that territory as well. I'll be trying out some newer/heavier settings this afternoon to test that capability.
I'll also snap some pics sometime and throw them up.

You find all kinds of stuff around here: Mesa, Marshall, Laney, Engl, Genz, Vetta. But I never see any VHT stuff.
it also takes pedals better than any amp I've played.
I dig it through the G12H30s currently in the ampeg cab pictured there, but I'd really like to try it through vht p50s, in a vht cab.
