Have you had a chance to check yet?

I'ts not that I feel the need for more gain. I just tried it and wanted to see what it did.

I'm assuming that it's normal. Do you still have your's?

Just got one a week ago and it's the 2014 model. I ran my Strymon delay in the loop and didn't notice any weirdness, but I'll have to check again. Have any Archon owners played this amp with the gain at 3:00 or higher? I find that when I palm mute and the gain is set that high I get this...

Well I decided to keep my VH4. I got it figured out. It only took 2 years lol. Mine is a 2013 and It sounds awesome now that the speaker situation and bias is set right.

Cool thanks for the input. I also have found that speaker cabinet (as opposed to just speaker selection) selection is super important with the VH4.

"My buddy is selling one for $2900. Pm me if you want his info. 2002 model. Best sounding era." So is this quote you put up a few days ago true or not? :) Which do you prefer?

Very cabinet and speaker dependent.

Which EL34's?

A little off topic Pauly, but could you describe the difference using the 6550 vs the KT77's? How are the mids and which 6550 brand did you go with?

Thanks, and Happy New Year Peter! I will go with that.

After trying some EL34BSTR's in my VH4 and not liking the sound at all I decided to go back to the KT77's. When I bias the the 77's I get one pair at 70mA while the other is at 62mA. I'm assuming this is okay, or should I lower the bias to 65mA and 57mA respectively?

I wish it was, but navigating through it is a bit confusing.

Ron is out till the 30th.

I hooked it up and everything works. However when I switch channels it has to be in sequence from 1 to 2 to 3 and vice versa. If I try and go from 1 to 3 or from 3 to 1 it won't switch and defaults to channel 1. I can switch from channel 1 to 2 and back and from channel 2 to 3 and back...

I have my Gain set at 10 o'Clock on channel 4 and it's just perfect.

I agree I dig the mids and the attitude better. I pretty much do riff rock so I'm not looking for a lead channel. Took me a year to figure out this amp and the coolness of channel 4. Definitely more attitude and a cooler midrange Prog.

I'm liking this channel more than channel 3. I just back the gain down to 10 O'clock and I find that It's still as tight but with a bit more saturation and a bit meaner sounding.

Is the V3 slot in the VH4 cathode follower slot? I currently have a Tungsol in there and I dig it but i know the Tungsols die in the cathode follower slots.

Call Rob at furman and talk to him about your issues and he will help. Look ar thr power factor as well.
