I really spend time with setting and mic placement for once and captured a pretty good tone from the VH4. No blending B.S. Not sure why I did a NAD clip and blended it with something else. DUMB. This is all VH4. :rock:

Sound better than the other 'un? Does this represent the VH4 well?

BTW, this is just a tone test. No song, just some chugging and chords.
 
I think it sounds great. I do think the combo in your last post still sounded better (youd have to throw 2 diezel tracks in to fairly compare) but I wonder what would sound best in a mix?

I bet this diezel clip would sound awesome with some drums n bass.

I also would agree passives!! But I'm not a diezel guy.
 
I actually was playing thru it with the Les Paul with BKPs but surprisingly the ESP just sounded a little "meaner" tonight. Really not a drastic difference. The attack with the passives was just slightly "rounder".
 
Nice man......glad to see you got your VH4 back. :rock:

My next amp for sure. Biggest regret gear sale I had ever when I sold my VH4S .... :doh:

Do it!
 
Definitely sounds more true to the VH4 in this clip. Sounds like your gain is up pretty high for the juice factor. The VH4 is a hair on the dry side until you crack noon.

You called it! The gain is literally at 12:15, lol. This head is an '08 model. The one I had previously was an '07 and I don't remember it having this much gain on tap...
 
The VH4 does not mix well with active pickups....Over-compressed, boxy sounding mutes and brittle top end....This has been my experience. Unlike many, I actually like EMGs with certain amps and certain applications...But the VH4 is not one of them.
