Its going to be a veeery long post but i hope it could help. I´m going to compare VH4 2023, Herbert MK3 , Herbert MK1, D Moll , Einstein , Bogner Uber Ultra KT88 ( which i returned ) and RedSeven Leviathan ( KT88, which i returned too ).
Extra gear i use for the test:
- fryette powerstation...
I have 4 channels Víctor custom.amp and, with the proper tubes its the best high gain amp i have had in my Life ( and i have had Herbert, Einstein, Satán, evh stealth, JVM, rockerverb, engl powerball 1/Ii , special edition....) My amp its un his guitar section and its called inferno. You can...
I have had Kartakou Colossus, Engl E570 and, at this moment, the way to go for me is Myasnikov. I have the superlead ( SLO Lead ), the MTL ( Wizard MTL ) and a VH4 3rd and 4th channels preamps and for me are amazing, but you need a good tube poweramp of course.
I can´t say....i dont use the 120 w of the amp but it supposed to be in that way...its almost impossible to break that speaker hahaha. Though the cab allows you running independent, i use both speaker at the same time.
Ive got a custom 2x12 cab with this one and a v30 and its the BEST guitar tone ive ever heard. And ive compared my cab against cab way more expensive ( mesa boogie, diezel , friedman ...,)
i ve got a custom 2x12 with electovoice + v30 so its a thick sound. I m not able to test any VH4 near my home , that´s the problem...i´m afraid that the VH4 has the same "problem" as the einstein , d moll and herbert, that a low volume they sound as they have some kind of "towel ( or something...
what do you think about RNR sound SL/RD preamp ? have you heard anything about it? it´s supposed to be an improved mesa boogie sound, way more tight and aggresive but with the mesa low mid flavour.
the Herbert is extremely "polite" At low volumes...sounds great but not aggresive. but the Ceres inst bright? i ve seen the demos and i find it a bit bright...isnt it¿
Hi everyone !
I´m looking the best tube amp for thick, aggresive and tight low mid sound for bedroom volume. I have had a tons of amps ( diezel herbert, einstein, evh, jvm, triamp 1/2, powerball I/II, Randall Satan...) and i know theres ANYTHING you can do with an overdrive and a good preamp...
I had the same sound un the past. In muy case, i solved It putting a string damping in the nut. If you haven't one, you can put some Foam just after the nut to avoid the resonance.
