SPAM - VHT Deliverance 60 head

['63-Strat]

hahaha... at first I thought you were trying to sell the Sig:X after telling us all how it died at your gig, my mistake

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

thump I hope everything is ok? You can send me the SIG X we are a VHT repair shop!

Who do you think I am, MegaMark?

No...that would require you selling it for $2200

Hey man, thanks! I exchanged quite a few emails with VHT and it looks like there was a power surge or something in the club causing the amp to go into thermal shutdown or something. I had it apart and nothing looks fried or anything. The amp works perfectly now at home. It may be as simple as that, but I dunno. If I use it a bit and prove that it works fine now, I'm selling it. If something's wrong, I may be in touch to have you guys do something with it!

No sweat man...Marcus and Stevie have asked us many times to do repair work for them.

The Sig:X will be on the block soon. I just have to make sure the problem is "fixed" before selling it. Who do you think I am, MegaMark?

Oh man.................

Any rack stuff going on the blocks?

so what are you able to keep?

I've been thinking about downsizing anyway and it looks like now is the time. I'm seriously considering going down to a combo or head and 2x12" cab for gigs. I'm tired of lugging half-stacks around.

You going to a 212, wow, the sky is falling.

Definitely considering it. I've gigged with closed-back 2x12" cabs quite a few times, but it's been a long time since I've gigged with a combo. Not sure what I'll do.

I'm seriously considering selling my JVM410 head and 1960a cab. With my AxeFx rack rig now I haven't touched the JVM in months. It's like new with not a scratch with original box and all paperwork. I have the receipt as well to prove the puchase date and even price as to make a fair deal. I know you probably don't want the cab but the head might give you the versatility your looking for even through a 2X12 cab.

Let me know.

Thanks man. I know the JVM is a great amp, but I'm looking to go even cheaper... Probably $1k max for a new "main" amp (either new or used.) Maybe even less than that.

DSL, 6505 or spidervalve would be my choice.

Yep, those three are in the running for sure. Like I said in another post, I'm also considering something like a Fender 4x10" Bassman combo and pedals, but I'm not convinced that would work. Clips I've watched on YouTube sound great and it's more of a "vintage" tone (what I usually go for), but I dunno.

10 inch speakers in general sound weak and buzzy from every combo ive heard them in. one of the heads with the marshall would suit you way better.

Chris, you`ve alway been fond of the DSL, and you made it sound really good. (My 2 cents)

I got a 5150 Combo collecting dust.................

I just sold my Soldano modded marshall 2203 and got a Fender 57 reissue Twin. I love it. I've been gassing for some tweed tones for quite a while as I've played Marshall for 15 years and wanted a change. Don't get me wrong, the Marshall was great and Bill at Soldano did great work on it but I was bored with it before the mod anyway. I can't recommend the tweed twin enough. I got it used for a fair bit less than they go for new. Which put it a few hundred over a grand. Almost max the volume, roll the bass pretty low and kick up the treble and it's a flamethrower. Roll back your guitar volume to get semi dirt or clean. Clean tones ( ..what are they?) at lower amp volumes are super sweet and pedals could be used easily. Unlike the bassman, the low end will get very tight with humbuckers at volume but you will be setting the bass to almost off. No tweed (that I've heard) will ever be as bright or tight as a Marshall but I really dig the tone big time. Plus it's a 2x12 and the weber deigned speakers sound great but I think I'll pop a greenie in one slot to see how it sounds.


Side note...Got to play a Sig X (thanks to Ed) and that was a fun amp to play through.

I've got a 6505+ for sale, sounds great just never use it.

Sorry for the shameless spam promotion.

One of the reasons I'm leaning towards the 4x10" Bassman is because I think it's the most "Marshall-like" out of the Fender stuff. Isn't that right? I would probably run it clean or MAYBE on the verge of breakup (depending on how loud I can be in the club), then use a pedal for the rest. That would make it tighter, but really, I'm not after a super tight metal tone. Just some nice vintage classic rock tones and hard rock stuff.

I have a ToneBone Classic distortion already that I could use with it. Not sure how that combination would sound, but it MAY be worth a try?

I don't think you can go wrong with either the Bassman or the Tweed Twin. The Bassman will feel like it has a more round 3d clean than the Twin but I think the twin seals the deal on it's overdrive. Granted if I couldn't have found a tweed twin used I would get the Bassman at almost a $1000 less. I'm hoping next week to go look at some pedals for it too. I want to try the MI Audio Crunchbox and the Tonebone Plexitube. They seem like good candidates for when I can't use an attenuator and have to have it set quiet and clean.

I got to say trying to describe the difference in the two when loud and overdriving is impossible. You have to experience it for yourself. If there's a GC that has both I highly recommend putting them in a back office or quiet room and doing some A/B ing. I got to crank up a Toneking Meteor (little monster), the twin, a bassman and also a Blues Deville, and I just kept going back to that Twin. With P-90's and low/medium Hum's it just barked, sang and cut and even got creamy (tone pot fiddling) better than the rest. Also I think it excelled cranked up in the 1st input of vol 2 which is the less bright input.

Something to consider with the current Bassman reissue is using an attenuator may not be possible as it uses parrallel outputs from the OT to each speaker.

I need to be schooled on Fender amps. When I say "twin", I'm talking about a Twin Reverb like this > http://www.fender.com/products//search. ... 0217300000

I just now realized that you're probably talking about this amp > http://www.fender.com/products//search. ... 8140500000

I believe the Twin Reverb I'm talking about doesn't break up, right? It's just solid clean that I've heard is great to use for pedals?

I know the Bassman breaks up at loud volumes and to me sounded kinda Marshall plexi-ish. But I didn't get much time with one and it was a while back. Seems like the Bassman can still stay clean or maybe SLIGHTLY dirty at stage volumes and still be used as a canvas for pedals, correct? Is it not really a good choice for that?

Yeah it's the Tweed Twin not the 65 Twin reverb reissue.
The Bassman would definitely be loud enough for using pedals on top of a clean, slightly dirty sound on stage. It's a loud amp. The level of pickup output will have a big affect on how clean you can keep it as you turn it up though.

Cool, thanks man. That tweed twin is waaaaaaaaaaaay out of my price range right now. I'm looking for right around $1,000 or less.

Used BF or SF Bassman heads can still be had for below that...

THanks Ed. You and I have had this conversation before, but it was brief. If I remember right, you said the newer Bassman 4x10" would work well for what I'm talking about, but the Twin Reverb would be better. Didn't you say that?

Let's say there's a Bassman 4x10" and a Twin Reverb 2x12" right there in front of you. Both are dialed in for pure clean tones at normal stage volumes. Hit 'em with a ToneBone Classic or MI Audio Crunch Box and which amp sounds bigger, thicker, punchier, etc...?

I likely would take the BF re-issue Twin over the Tweed re-issue Bassman. Yes, set clean hiy with a pedal you'll have more oomph and balls on the Twin.
Also I don't think Bassman do very well clean, once they start breaking up I love 'em though.
But FWIW I wasn't talking about re-issues. I bought a 64 BF Bassman head 2 years ago for 400 bucks with flight case.

Hmmmm... I need to seriously consider the Twin Reverb, then. I figured you were talking about an older Bassman head, but I'm really wanting something pretty new this time around. I'm selling just about everything and "may" end up using whatever I get for a good while. That's the thought anyway.

I'm considering everything from a SpiderValve head to run with my Antone 2x12" cab (with G12H30s), to a Fender Bassman or Twin Reverb and pedals, to a good 'ole DSL50 head. Not real sure what to do. The DSL50 is the safest bet, because I've had lot of good times with those amps. But then again, I kinda want to do something totally different for me (clean amp with pedals.)

I dunno... I'm all cornfused.

Well a Twin as a clean platform is pretty much a no worry choice.
I had a Spider valve 1x12 and really dug that did 2 dozen gigs on it and decided to go the the head which I actually prefer.

just get you an Axe-Fx and be done with it.....everything you want in one small box.
