Own a VH2 and a Paul....the two are known to have the same first channel....but they're different ....the VH2 is more directionnal whereas the Paul certainly due to the 2 tubes and 45 watts seems to be more organic , alive , sensitive....Paul is on third channel able to do metal but is main personnality is based on classik rock.....under 12o'clock you can find a lot of crunchy tones ...really impressive .....after 12 it probably depends on your guitar pickups......the reverb is really great too.....a really good amp...
