For a long time, I had a no-name, cheap custom-built 4x12 that I bought unloaded, and put a set of P50Es in. It sounded good, but after a few years, I picked up a real VHT/Fryette FatBottom 4x12. Similar dimensions, both front-loaded, and loaded with exactly the same speakers, the two cabs...
Man, I haven't kept track of this in forever, and it's too hard to make an actual estimate since my last post (January 9). It's easily in the ~1000 mile range, though :lol:
When I first heard that they were working with Jacob Hansen, I wasn't sure how I felt about that...I love Hansen's mixes, but didn't think his sound would work for Primal Fear, but it actually came out really well. Sounds like Primal Fear!
Make sure all the ribbon cable connections are good, too. Mine stopped working at one point because of a bad ribbon cable connection, and I fixed it by soldering wires in place where the ribbon cables had been.
It's the direct predecessor to the Triple XXX. The Ultra channel will get you more gain than anyone should ever need.
Here are some clips of the one I had several years ago (using more conservative gain settings):

I think I blew my boss's mind by riding the 9ish miles to and from work in the snow from Winter Storm "Hercules" yesterday :lol:
Put me down for 152 mi / 245 km since my last post.
Total: 17992 mi / 28956 km
Either would work, really. The Sig:X is capable of higher gain and more saturation than the Deliverance, but both can get heavy as ..... I'm not a particularly "modern" metal (read: djent) player, though, so I can't speak to that.
The first band I used the D60 in, the other guitarist had a...
I should mention that I had two cabinets loaded with P50Es for a while...one was a no-name cheap cab that was custom-built for me, and the other is a VHT/Fryette FatBottom 4x12. They had similar dimensions, both front-loaded, and in theory pretty similar. They actually sounded noticeably...
I've run it through V30s, G12T75s, and maybe one or two other cabs that I can't think of at the moment, and while it didn't sound bad, it also didn't sound its best. After having had a few years of experience with the amp, though, I once played a show where I ran it through a Marshall MG412 and...
Oh! Very important...if you're considering one of these amps, keep in mind that every part of your signal chain will have an effect on the sound, and don't dismiss it out of hand if you don't immediately fall in love with it. I found that it took a while for me to really learn to play the amp...
That's boosted with the Bodenhamer-modded DOD YJM308 I had when I first got the Deliverance. I ended up selling the pedal because it was too noisy and didn't have a status LED. My current Tube Screamer has been working better for me.
A couple clips that were recorded with my Deliverance, a couple months or so after I got it. All the settings on the amp were the same, but different guitars and tunings were used on the two tracks.

Sorry I don't have anything more...
If it says "VHT" and was built in 2009 or later, it has nothing to do with the real VHT. The names are totally different, too..."Special 6", "Ultra 6", etc.
Anything that says "VHT" and also "Pittbull", "Deliverance", "Sig:X" is the real deal.
