Hi, just joined, and first post and everything, just wanted to share my extreme joy with the vh4 (el34) I just picked up. It's an 05, and it's mindboggingly good. I work full-time as a producer and therefore haven't really had the chance or drive to play guitar for a lot of years, but the vh4 revived this. I just couldn't stop f***** playing while giggling with joy. I was going to test it with a few mics, different preamp tubes etc but never even got around to do any of that (let alone answer mails etc)...
The cleans (channel 1) are beautiful and defined and modern without being overbearing in any way, channel 2 goes from crisp snappy low drive to classic rock, channel 3 is every bit as good as promised and 4 is just Mercury liquid amplified.. of course all of you know all this, but I just had to share my immense joy!!
I've researched the 07 changes in this amp, and might consider writing Peter regarding this at some point (seeing that many enjoy these), but atm I'm on my honeymoon and this amp is just incredible.
Seldom have 4 channels sounded better and more refined than this, and I've had a good share of amps through the studio. Thanks for this!
