    Hagen's Look...

    ... is so sexy and bad ass, it should be the standard diezel look. :rock: all black front and tolex, white or black knobs... intended style in tone (more classic) by altering the knobs (e.g. chickenheads) but after all... it's just subjective taste. ;)

    Special VH4 bias question

    hi, i got a special question regarding biasing a vh4. there are two ways to bias: a) measuring the mA of a tube pair at the OT b) measuring the mV (1 Ohm resistor -> 1mV^=1mA) of each tube with bias rite. i did both and got these results: a) OT1: 56mA, OT2: 58mA b) 37mA, 35mA, 33mA, 31mA i...

    General Bias and Tube Question

    hi, just purchased a matched quartett of el34bht and a bias-socket-set from tube-town. put two of them into a 50W-amp and they showed different mA: left:1st tube with 32mA, right: 2nd tube with 24mA swapped their positions and got: left: 2nd tube with 24mA, right: 1st tube with 32mA swapped...

    What to apply when playing VH4-S mono?

    Hi, No usage of a tube amp without load.... we know that. But what, if I had to use a VH4-S with a mono-box @8Ohm? I have to apply an 8Ohm load to the other side. Would it suffice to use a simple load like this, soldered to a jack, and plug it in? http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/4216 ...

    Bag for VH4?

    does anyone use a bag for the precious vh4? was searching for a rockbag cover for a fat 4x12 and cut it to size, but perhaps there are better ways? don't always need a case though (heavy!!).

    Load resistor

    Hi, if I used a VH4S with just one speaker on one side (mono), the other side shouldn't go without load resitor. Is there any magic to these resistors? I found these: http://www1.conrad-uk.com/fas6/fh.php?f ... w%3Dsearch (or http://www.ate-electronics.com/ENG/catalogue.htm --> down, left...
