Hi guys, quick introduction of myself since it’s my first message here, I had a rig with a Two-Rock Studio Signature (clean) and Dr Z EMS (Marshall crunch) and now I want to build a complete new rig that will be fully digitally controlled Analog & Tubes. So I sold my Two-Rock (hard to part away with it because I love this amp, but I need the money for the new rig). I hope I will like the VHX clean as much as my Two-Rock…
So yeah, my new rig will be obviously composed of the Diezel VHX and then a small pedalboard in front of the amp (with Sonuus Wahoo and Voluum, the Kernoms (Ridge, Moho, Elipse) and eventually a Feel the Tone PA1QG). So I can keep a whole analog path from the pickups to the Preamp, but I can save the whole signal chain and settings and recall them with MIDI.
My main concern is that I have a 2x12” at home that I love (Dr Z EMS with Creamback and 70th Anniversary G12H30), except it’s only rated for 60w. I know I could change the speaker (that’s my last ressort), but I really love the G12H30 that I already had in my Marshall 2061CX that I had for my Two-Rock. So I wonder if there’s a way to turn 2 of the VHX Power amp off? (to make sure that when I’m on my home cab I won’t fry my speaker even if I play loud. And then quickly turn them on when I go to the studio on a 100w cab).
This is NOT about volume or loudness, I know Diezel amps have a GREAT master volume, it’s all about protecting a 100w from frying a 60w cab. Apparently I could remove two of the power tube, but I would prefer to do it in the Global preferences instead of removing them physically.
PS: I should have the VHX in February or March, Thomann told me they should have in stock by them, and it matches my plan time wise (=$$$) — I just can’t wait, I’ve been lurking on the VHX for the last 2 years, but always got sidetracked by some life stuff. Also, I listed my previous rig and the gear I want to use only to give you an idea to where I come from and what I want to accomplish with the Diezel VHX. I’m not comparing gear, or telling that some speakers are better than others, etc… it’s just what I like, that’s it.
