Got it from Matt's Music who have always taken care of me. They said a possible turn around time of 2 weeks but whenever it arrives it's going right in to the lineup. This is going to be really fun!

Congrats! I played a VH4 for about 8 years and loved it.

Congrats on the incoming VH4!
Keep us updated.
Not to one up.. but, Still my #1 after 14 years !
Peter got it right the first time.
If you are having a hard time digging it experiment with different tubes,
Tubes change this amp drastically.
I hate KT77s they feel stiff and are too linear ,
mine comes alive with JJ 6L6's.
EL34BSTR's are a great choice if you need the EL34 sound.
Good luck

Thanks guys! I've had nothing but great luck with EL34's and I can't wait to have a go at JJ KT77.

Just my two cents, but I love the VH4 with 6550's.

Winged C 6550's? Looking in to EL34BSTR's now.
What tubes are you guys using for pre?

That's awesome! I always bias my own amps and retube them. I'll definitely send Laura an email.
I've actually never played a JJ KT77 but I am using EL34B's in my Splawn Nitro.

Great amp! Congrats on it. I prefer the 6550's myself.

I might be the minority in this but I LOVE JJ E34L's in mine. I had 6550's and it was so damn bassy I was stomping on the bass player every other riff. I don't use much bass either

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.

Congrats - great amp! I got one recently and I can't stop playing it, even beat my Herbert into number 2 position at the moment, which is unheard of!
I've got JJ KT77's too and I like them

Thanks everyone! I'm of course going to give the JJ's a good listen. Never had KT77's before, I've had everything else practically so this is going to be very fun.
