    Amazing what a different a cab can make

    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...

    Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Basses. Am I the only one that loves those necks?

    I love the neck on my Affinity Jazz V ($199.99 tag price) :lol:

    SS.org Challenge 3: Cycling to the Moon!

    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:

    Running in stealth mode...

    Don't do this! Terrible idea, you'll break things!

    I can't believe I didn't know that!

    For even more comfort, try sleeping nude! :idea:

    New Primal Fear....ROCKS!

    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!

    Sonic maximizer with PA!?

    Makes more sense there than in a guitar rig...

    Peavey Ultra Plus: Enough Gain?

    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.

    Peavey Ultra Plus: Enough Gain?

    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): ToneFinder ToneFinder ToneFinder ToneFinder ToneFinder

    SS.org Challenge 3: Cycling to the Moon!

    Looking into VHT Amps

    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...

    Looking into VHT Amps

    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...

    Looking into VHT Amps

    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...

    Looking into VHT Amps

    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...

    Looking into VHT Amps

    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.

    Looking into VHT Amps

    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. ToneFinder ToneFinder (earlier mix of the above) ToneFinder Sorry I don't have anything more...

    Looking into VHT Amps

    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.
