I got to crank up my Bones tonight and give it a full run through the paces in a full-band setting. First off, the damn thing sounds incredible. It actually reminds me a lot of my two favorite amps (at the moment) - the VHT UL and the Mako MAK4. The Bones is very tight and articulate, even...

I need one, and I don't want to shell out a grand for a Rocktron All Access. So what has the best combination of flexibility and durability for the dough?

I've got the Petrucci 7-string set coming in the mail today, so I'm looking for opinions on which way to install them. The guitar that they're going in is 12lbs of mahogany, so I need the bridge pickup to be bright, tight, and percussive to balance out the fatness of the wood. If I can, I'd...

"Bought" means I bought from, "Sold" means I sold to. I apologize to the guys I can't remember...if I'm missing something or the info is incorrect, please PM me and I'll get it straightened out. Jim Hunter - sold Hashbrowns flanger (HCAF) Gearo999 - Sold acoustic guitar (HCAF) davefj40 - don't...

I like 6550s in my VH4. They extend the high-end a little bit and tighten up the bottom slightly relative to EL34s, but don't have the mid-scoop sound of 6L6s. If you smelled somethign burning, you should take the amp to a tech. There's no telling what it could be. Also, if the Tube Fault LEDs...

I like my VH-4 a lot, but I'd like to take down the compression a notch, and it has SO MUCH GAIN on channel 4 that I run the gain pot right around 8:30-9:00 Are there any specific types of 12**7 variants that you'd recommend? How much will it change the voicing? Is there a way to keep the same...

I'm looking into getting a Herbert in trade, and I've had great luck so far with =C= 6550s in my amps that can handle them. I've heard a lot of love for EL34s in the Herb, but how do you think big-bottle tubes would sound? Would it just be WAAAY too much power? (wouldn't it put out 250+ watts?)...

I've got a matched quad of =C= 6550s that I threw in my VH-4S, and I can't get the bias anywhere near matched. Right now, one transformer has about 19ma per tube and the other is around 50ma per tube. The individual tubes are matched pretty well in each transformer, but the two transformers'...

Which position should I put the Bias switch in my VH-4 for installing 6550s? I'm assuming the EL34 position, but I want to be sure. Thanks.

I've got a 2001 VH4S, and it doesn't seem like it's voiced the same as other VH4s. Everyone I hear from tells me how tight channel 3 is, but on my amp it's pretty loose - almost Uberschall/Recto loose, although it's a different voicing than either of those amps. Is there a mod that I can...

Just like the subject says - I'm thinking about throwing a set of KT88s in my VH4S, and I'd like to get some opinions before I go out a spend a ridiculous amount on tubes that I won't like. Is it worth it to swap in the first place? Do KT88s work well with the VH4 preamp tone? How is the tone...

There's an intermittent static in channel B of my VH4S, but not in Channel A. I've swapped cables, cabs, and tubes (Pre, PI, and Power), and the only thing that affects it seems to be the Presence and Standby (Turning up the Presence makes it worse, Standby makes it silent). I've even pulled...

I've been trying to program my VH4S to work with my MIDI pedal, but it seems like there's a problem somewhere. 95% of the time, it switches fine. The other 5%, it misses, and I have to re-send the patch from my MIDI pedal. I'm pretty sure that the VH4 is causing the issue - the pedal tracks...
