Paul tones in VHX

[Spidouz]

I’m planning to get a VHX when they will be back in stock, and I’ve seen a lot of demo, feedbacks, comments about the Blue and Red channels, how close they can be from a VH4 or Herbert, so I have no doubt about that, but I’m more a Vintage Blues & Rock guy and I like the tones I hear from the Paul amp. Apparently the VHX has the Paul circuits, so I wonder how close the Green and Yellow channels could be to the Paul channel 1 and 2?

Is any of you got a chance to compare them side by side? I know we have plenty of voicing in the VHX and tone is subjective, but I just want to be sure I could still find some nice Paul’s clean and edge of break up, or even some mild crunch in the VHX. I’m 100% convinced about high-gain already, so I just need to be sure for clean and low gain and vintage tones….

Thanks

Oh yeah, I will fly 10 hours just to try it on…. Oh wait, I could drive to Diezel HQ instead and I would still arrive earlier and will get the VHX for half of the price of Northerner Guitars. Yeah, I can wait couple months for them to sort the DSP chip issue out and have new VHX in stock so I can get it directly from Diezel and not from some dealer half a world away from me that probably sell Amps in 110V and not 230V…

So back to my question: How’s the Paul tones in the VHX?

I would also like to hear a comparison of Paul and VHX. I never played a Paul, but I use my VHX also in a bluesy side project, and at least to my ears the amp really shines in organic cleans and mid gain. Especially with low output pickups.

You never mentioned where you were located in your post, Einstein.

I'll remember to ignore your ignorant future posts

All this time on forum and you still haven’t learned to click on someone avatar to see their location… genius!

This forum is about helping each other, calm down.
This will not help to get any advise.

 

[Spidouz]

My question is about the Paul tones in the VHX, not where to buy a VHX (which is no help for me). So yeah, stay on topic…

Can't say enough good about Joel and Northerner. I am lucky I live close enough to pop in the shop when I visit friends/family. He also gives the best trade value, IMO.

Well, Frenchie. First off, welcome to rig-talk. Your attitude will not get you far.

However, to address your ridiculous question: I think if I were going for clean to edge of breakup, I would never think of a diezel. But you seem to have fixated on a Paul. I think if I thought the Paul was THE SOUND i was going for, I wouldn't be looking at an amp that could almost get me there, while also almost getting to two other amps that it doesn't sound like you are that interested in.

But by your attitude and your fondness for low gain, might I suggest another forum that might suit you much better.

Still not what i asked, but I see people have difficulty reading and understanding a basic question on this forum…

Oh good on you buddy, you just discovered how to read a signature… i see I help you all here on how to use a forum and its features, that’s a start. Now we just need to stay on topic and answer the original question or just admit you don’r know when you don’t freaking know… if reading and comprehension of more than a paragraph is the issue let me make it shorter and rephrase it for you:

How’s the Paul tones in the VHX?

 

[VHTStark]

Maybe @Leo Diezel or @Peter Diezel
Will chime in and help you out.

I am not sure what the Paul settings would be. I was told both the "modern" and "vintage" modes are not representative of any Diezels, so I don't think the vintage setting is a Paul.

I will say that the VHX can certainly do solid lower to mid gain tones, with the caveat that they are clear variations on the Diezel sound. Some guys expect the VHX to do a VH4, Herbert, vintage Marshall, vintage Fender, Mesa Boogie and everything in between and it doesn't.

 

[Spidouz]

Yeah, I know the VHX is said to have VH4, Herbert, Paul circuits, etc… but personally I don’t expect it to cover all tones, nor to do anything such Marshall, Fender, Mesa, etc… That’s why I wonder how the “Paul tones” in the VHX are in comparison to the Paul. We have plenty of comments already with the VHX vs VH4, or VHX vs Herbert, but somehow, I almost found nothing with the Paul vs VHX, how close or different they are to each other. And that’s my only question here.

That was the point, shortbus. I think maybe english is a bit tough for you. In my post, i was subtly explaining how moronic the thought process behind your question is.

It is a thirteen year old girl quest for the perfect unicorn that will change her life. "If this amp checks the last box, then it will be the perfect amp that will satisfy me for the rest of my life."
"I love the sound of the Paul. But I dont want to get the perfect sound of the Paul. Instead, I want something that gets close to the perfect sound and has so many other imperfect sounds."

You have dressed an age old request in trying to fit this amp into a box three times smaller. It is why people hear an amp they like, but buy a modeller that cops that sound, because it also cops other sounds that they might need when they are approached by meshuggah to be their guest guitarist despite the fact that they will never play metal...but they might.

So let me answer your question in the only way that you will hear. Yes, it sounds just like a Paul. Nails it completely. And it wont blow up your 2x12...Hell, buy a 1x12 loaded with a celestion blue, and that cab will even handle the amp cranked. Oh, and rainbows will shoot out of the cab when you play, and you will find the perfect man that holds you tight at night and tells you how pretty you are.

It's funny that after spending so much time on forums, you're still incapable of understanding a basic question and post... and then you assume plenty of things I've never said. Thank you for being the perfect caricature of the dumb idiot on forums that will spend way more time typing than actually playing his gear, just because he never received enough love from his parents and he needs to compensate for his miserable life by spewing crap online on things we didn't ask him... it's ok buddy, we love you anyway.

Of course, there's thousands of comment on how the VHX is in comparison to the VH4 or the Herbert, but that's not moronic at all to ask, but if someone like me dare to ask about how it is in comparison to the Paul, then it's moronic... Yeah, I get it.

Thank you also for comforting me in my idea that forums are generally a waste of time because people like you have too much ego to admit they don't know something and therefore instead of answering intelligently to a damn question, they will either insult you, sidetrack the thread with something else, or simply waste your time with things nobody ask them. I guess it's time to remove notifications on this thread, you wasted my time more than enough already.

PS: Oh and BTW, the '90s are calling you @Smash , being gay is not an insult anymore... but be careful, in some countries it could still be a hate speech crime.
