I've been using an Ampeg VH140C in stereo with a 6505, and while it's done great as a supplementary amplifier, it just doesn't seem to get that thick distortion like the bands that have popularized this amp, Suffocation, Dying Fetus, etc. I've been boosting with either an HM-2 or Bodenhamer Bloody Murder, depending on which sound I'm needing, but it's still missing something. I've played around with settings of course, and still nothing. It still sounds decent, but it just doesn't have the thickness I expected. I'm paying through a Mesa Rectifier cabinet loaded with Mesa Vintage 30s, so the cab shouldn't be the problem since these are great for metal and has done fine with other amplifiers.
Anybody have suggestions on how to improve sound with this amp? I'm determined to get the sound I need from it, whether it's a change in settings, different boosting methods, or anything else.
If you have any details on other equipment for bands that are known for using the Ampeg VH140C, then I'm interested in that information too.
