I have this listed on Reverb right now but here is my price which includes shipping and insurance. Feel free to make me an offer, no trades, I got an unexpected medical bill that I need to pay ASAP, I will do 25k shipped or make me a reasonable cash buy now offer and I will probably take it but I don't respond to low ballers.
My descrption from my Reverb listing:
Putting this back up because people keep messaging me to sell this amp, so if you want it make me an offer close to or at the asking price and it can be yours.
I want to preface this by saying that this amp is not "modded" it has had each channel slightly tweaked by Mark Cameron so it sounds amazing, if you want I can have it put back to "stock" but DIezel amps from this era were all different anyways especially channel 3. Also, if you want I can have Mark Cameron sign the chassis up to the buyer. I will see if I can post clips in the next few days.
This is a very rare occasion here in the USA to find an original just about mint condition VH4 from before 1997 in "old script" with original hand wound custom Euro transformers. Still has original power tubes, according to the original owner I purchased this from in Austria. This has 8 pre-amp tubes as well, the later post 98 silver faces went to 7 pre-amp tubes.
As Adam Jones was I believe the first customer in the USA for a Diezel VH4. He had a Blueface that was just a few numbers away from this one. As some of you know that the new (post 97) silver and reissue blue face VH4 amps do not sound like these originals. This is why Adam Jones is still to this day looking for a 1995-96 VH4 just like this one.
Also this has the original hand wound custom transformers that I believe were made in Belgium or somewhere in Europe. In 97 Diezel had gone to Langer transformers. Let me tell you that these original transformers help give the original Diezels that dark tone Tool and Adam is known for. Langers also were awesome, Mastadon and Metallica both used Langer era VH4s.
It's totally different circuit than new VH4 amps.I believe besides the other two I imported back ten years ago this is probably one of less than 5 pre-97 Diezels in old script here in the USA. Remember that many of the 94-96 Diezel VH4 amps came with 220 volt transformers hard wired so finding another 95-96 with selectable voltage is very difficult.
Yes I have the original back cover I will upload pics of it mounted on the amp shortly.
This amp has the original Ruby 6l6GC power tubes that it came with back when it was new and they are still working strong, Adam also used these tubes till he can no longer get them by the early 2000s Also the preamp tubes are a mixture of the original Ruby and Chinese 12AX7 tubes, some were replaced because they didn't sound good anymore. This one is setup for 110 USA voltage but if you are an overseas buyer I can have my tech set it back to 220 voltage s
