TBH, I don't think those Eminence Governors or Man-o-wars they put in their cabs help at all. JMO.mhenson42":7a7c64ky said:

I’m no technical guru, but I know my amp tones and I have always thought VHT’s have a bit of a high gain HiWatt vibe to their tone.
No other amp I’ve played has the vibe/ feel of a VHT/ Fryette.
To me, the Green channel on the CL series is THE VHT tone.

I have no idea what makes the VHT amps feel and sound the way they do. I am just glad i got to try my first one because I instantly knew why some amps are better suited for me the second i got one. Some people "get" them,some dont. Few amps make me grin like a drunken fool the way the ultralead does.

Agreed, the VHT/Fryette sound just has "it" for me.

Just an update far anyone who still cares. It's actually a negative feedback loop on the cathode follower stage (I mistakenly took it as positive).
I've experimented with it, and yes this plays a big role in that signature VHT/Fryette sound. This produces that dry, tight, and clear tone.

I already experimented with it on my friedman clone. It made it have very similar characteristics to my 92 pittbull rhythm channel.
I kills a lot of gain as expected, but you can crank the gain knob to compensate. If it were to be made a permanent mod on a switch or something you could have the switch tweak the circuit for more gain when on.
