Got the album today. Truly enjoying the 'A Perfect Circle' -vibe. Vey good work gentlemen. I have been dying to find new bands that I like and you managed to make your way to the playlist immediately. Thank You.

I would also be really interested in trying these just for the sake of curiousity. I understand why these are developed and Im sure they have their applications and potentially some tonal characteristics that some people like over traditional tubes, but in all honesty, the name should not have...

Don't waste your time and money on an attenuator. I had one and used it from time to time with VH4 for few years. Your VH4's master volume does its job perfectly. I also recommend you to try the different settings of having master volume down and channel volume up and vice versa.

Thanks. Pretty sure I made typo on my search earlier. :lol: :LOL:

Very good song! I promise to buy your album if only I can get it somewhere without ridiculous postages. And greetings to a fellow Blackmachinist. :thumbsup: Ilkka

In my band I have used 2x12" (V30s) with 8-string guitars tuned in F# for years. Stage, studio and rehearsals. We are not super loud, but neither a quiet band either. I use VH4 connected to on 2x12" and Mako MAK2 connected to another 2x12" which are run simultaneously in parallel. But the...

I run VH4 and Mako MAK2 simultaneusly. I use RMJ Y-Not for the phase switching. Works perfectly and the best thing is that it is MIDI-pogrammable.

As an owner of both, Herbert (2007) and VH4 (2005) I would be curious to get your settings for Herbert how to make it sound like VH4. Im using VH4 as my main amp for live setup (in parallel with MAKO MAK2) and Herbert in home studio and practicing. I have never been able to get the same sound of...

I have tried multiple different speakers in different cabs, but at the end I have always returned back to V30s for distorted tones. So my vote goes to change them or get another cab with V30s in it. Could you perhaps loan another cab with V30s from someone to make some side-by-side testing with...

Simply great! What were you gents rocking?! I can see there is some serious groove ongoing.

Welcome to the eternal quest of getting better and better tracks recorded. Your equipment will be enough, you just need a lot of experimenting in mic placement, amp EQ settings, etc. It will take time, but if you do it systematically and keep on reading hints and tips you will get there. Good...

Not even switchable serial loop? :doh: And all the best wishes to the thread initiator's sick VH4. Papa Diezel will take care of your problem.

Yes, you can order direct replacement kit from Diezel.

Tubes make some difference. But it definitely is not that straightforward question as it would require to have pre and power tubes in similar condition and proper bias to compare them. My VH4 sounds good with either EL34s or KT77s and there really is no big difference - Personally I liked EL34s...

This sounds pretty extreme. :confused: Im glad you got your tone back again, but I can't help myslef wondering that are you speakers and signal chain in shape?

Wonderful! Keep it coming guys.

Yes, that should be from 2001.

Being a VH4, Herbert, BKP and Ibanez 2228 user, I would say for sure that the problem is not in the VH4. BKPs are sensitive for pickup height and VH4 on the other hand does not sound its best with too high output pickups and too high gain settings. Check your bias and play with the EQ. Also...

I have one RG2077XL equipped with Black Hawks and another with Lundgren M7 and DiMarzio Air Norton - Both tuned to ADGCFAD. In addition I have RG2228 with Black Dogs. All work excellend with VH4 and Herbert, but definitely have different flavour in the tone. So when comparing these two...

I had a 4x12" OS Mesa Recto cab (V30s) when I got my VH4, but sold it really quickly as it just did not work for for me with VH4. Very good construction on that cab, but sound was way too boomy with down-tuned guitars. Then I went with 2x12" Rivera which was fantastic cab. Unfortunately, I was...
