Yes, too much compression/limiting at mastering stage. At times one can get that feeling even with excessive compression on individual instruments. Sad that the idiotic volume war is here to stay. Spotify, youtube etc add an additional limiter stage to the music there. So it gets even worse when...

Great tone!! It really has some of the VH4 bite. :thumbsup:

Diezel VH4? It is the amp that shows up the most in the making of videos and pic reports. Sounds a lot like a VH4 with el34 to me.

Great stuff! :thumbsup:

Marshall plexi, paf pickups and not that much gain as people usually use when trying to mimic his tone. Mic placement and the plate reverb contribute a lot to that tone. Here's some info about it: http://www.guitarworld.com/eddie-van-halen-looks-back-van-halen-1984-album-5150-studios Oh and of...

I wonder which amp is the op planning to use it with. I used my with a peavey 5150 II and was an epic sounding combo. Hmm starting to have gas for a 5150 when I think of that tone :confused:

I have that as well. For me the VH sound is metallic grey though...

Just James and Rob care a bit as said above. And as also said they sound like the loosing act of a high school talent show indeed. My statement of being sad with that is because they lost the flame. Some months ago I saw Black Sabbath for the last time. The BIG real metal artists are going. We...

They don't care anymore? This vid made me sad in a way :no: LK0d4ATFN30

Great punchy and open sounding cabinet still with good low end and no muddy midrange. Whatchout for danger of fizziness when micing it at the center of the cone, is my only remark about it, otherwise just great tones out of it.

If you are after mastodon studio sounds then you'll want a Diezel VH4 or a Marshall JMP/JCM800. As for Bogner vs Orange, like someone wrote, they are not even comparable quality wise...

I know that the 100W version can go way over 100W, but I wonder about the 1987x 50 W, is it safe all the way? Cheers!

Great!! Dying to know how this one would sound in the front and loop of your Marshall plexi :)

Damn that tone is great! But I am with the guy above, the Diezel with the Fortin is another level...

Me too! :thumbsup: Here's my list: 1. Marshall 1959slp 1. Marshall 1987x

Depends on the Diezel. The VH4 and the Einstein have a raw character to their sound, and forward mids. The thing is that most of the metalheads scoop a lot the mids and the amps sound more "mastered" that way. My recommendations for the op would be: Diezel VH4 or Einstein, Engl special edition...

Great tone man! What cab/mic are you using in the torpedo live?

You won't regret it. The Texas mode in ch 2 is one of the best sounds you can find on a channel switching amp. Had an Einstein 100 and sold it to get a vh4. I regret the maneuver, should have kept both...

There is some "plexish" thingy in the midrange and high end frequencies of these amps which I think is very cool.

Listen to this gentleman.
