VH140C Picked this up from tonesfoyobones (super awesome guy to deal with btw!) Mint condition!

This thing is heavy for a SS amp. Like close to 50 lbs I think. It's also a metal machine! I had a great tone in minutes. Great feel for SS and loud as fuck. The clean is decent, I just wish the chorus was more lush like a Boss Ce-2 or some of the boutique offerings out there for chorus. I could totally gig this amp and not think twice about it. Between this purchase and the Katana it makes me think I can be happy with a $350 amp or a $5000 amp.

I'll make a clip just because.

Sweet. I played ss Randall's for years before going back to tubes and had a couple vh140's as well(one was an ss150), but was happy for years with them and don't play any better without them.

Cool! Those are a metal classic.

Brutal amp. Best solid state I've played and sounds killer.

 

[Juggernaut]

GREAT fucking amps bro!!!

Metal in a box. A stereo box.

I almost pulled the trigger on this amp the day it hit the classifieds. Snooze you lose I guess; at least I'll get to give it a go here shortly

Solid State blasphemy is what this is, Thomas! You should be ashamed of yourself.

This makes 3 SS now. It's becoming a trend here but nothing can replaced my magical toobz amps!

Holy crap! Thanks for the heads up brother! Was this a common occurrence? Hadn't heard they were prone to the flamage.

 

[petee]

I've never heard of that either. I'd say it's the exception, not the rule.

Congrats on the new amp. I had one years ago and never should have sold it. A decade ago they were considered trash. Glad to see them come back around

whoa! i never saw the inside of one, always wondered why they were so heavy for a SS amp

Honestly I have no idea.. but the amp did go thru a shit ton of heavy use/gigs for years with no probs... Ironically it caught fire when playing at home just messing around. Ah the heavy scooped solid state days

 

[Mklane]

Yeah, love those amps! I still have one too, super fun to play.
