That's my experience with it also. My VH4 is like that to a certain degree so I'd mirror what BF says above. I'm always interested when people comment that the Herbert is great at bedroom volumes when it's a 180W poweramp.
I'm pretty certain that's a bogus account. Screen name chosen to insinuate nationality. Immediately begins insulting Americans & using cliche English slang. Most likely an existing member of the forum.
As well as being an excellent guitar player, I wonder whether some of Pete Thorn's success is down to the additional traffic his website accidentally receives.
Looks awesome.
How does the Anderson stack up next to a Suhr Modern? They look really similar & I had my eye out for an Angel but I rarely see them available.
I figure the less extreme the amp's voice, the more versatile it becomes, particularly when you can throw pedals at it.
The badger 30 is great from what i've heard. It's still pretty pricey though so not sure if it classifies as downgrading.
I had one in the interim after I'd let go of a VH4 for an AxeFX. It was like being reunited with an old friend during a time of misery.
Mode 3 was as near as dammit VH4 Ch3. Mode 2 was excellent. Ch2 seemed to switch voicing depending which Ch1 mode was selected. Either that or my ears...
I really like the KT77. Probably my favorite power tube of those i've tried with the VH4. : E34, E34L & 6L6. Not tried the 6550 or KT88. It's mostly a matter of personal taste & tube reliability.
Peter ships these amps with JJ KT77, which is a comforting endorsement.
It's about consonants & vowels. 'An' is used when the following word begins with the phonetic sound of a vowel. 'ess'.
An interesting one is 'An Hotel'. Hotel is a french word, where the 'H' is silent. ie 'otel' & so is preceded by 'an'.
