Re: anybody rocking out on a VHT?
Were you forced to sell them to buy the Celtic amp, or did you just want a change, PUCKBOY99?
--------------------
The only guy i've heard get a bad tone from a VHT is Francesco Fareri. I don't know how but he compresses it to buggery. He must have an OD pedal up on 10 with the amp gain on 10 or something. Horrible synthetic tone which is NOT the way to use a VHT imho.
I haven't heard any new Unearth stuff. They apparently tried the Deliverance out so i'm curious to whether they use it on albums etc. I'm not a fan of their music, but i've heard some crushing tones from various VHT's.
Has anyone heard them recently or saw them live?

Re: anybody rocking out on a VHT?
I saw that they were mixing the Deliverance 120s with Pitbulls, unfortunatly i haven't heard their new album. Has anyone tried out those Sig Xs? seems like you could get alot of tones out of them...too many knobs and switches on it for me though. I'd go crazy trying to dial it in.

Re: anybody rocking out on a VHT?
Haven't tried a Sig:X yet but it's been unofficially billed as a cheaper alternative to the Ultra Lead. I'm not sure whether VHT would make an amp like that personally since Fryette isn't a stupid man (a cheaper UL would hinder the sales of a genuine UL), but from the clips i've heard, it's got all the VHT tonal characteristics.
(* allow for You Tube compression in the clips below).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iiNk1Z-5IU&feature=related (open, dry, tight, organic OD)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5UBi9zVjBk&feature=related (sparkly, nice harmonic response- i'd have prefered to hear some Greene style chordal playing though)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUpJ4YUHmGw&feature=related (as first clip really, not compressed at all- even on YT!)

Man, i'd love to hear a really TOP level player with insane technical control (especially dynamics) play through a VHT. The player in those clips doesn't suck or anything, but it's 1 of those amps which just lends itself to awesome playing. Kinda like Elmwoods & Soldanos in that respect. The better the player = the better the amp sounds. Needless to say i make a VHT sound like an MG30! Ha ha.
I don't like the amount of knobs on the Sig X either. It's like the Mark IV- you'd need a year to dial in your perfect tone. A little bit overkill for me, although i know people who love the added permutations.
The UL has the most amount of controls i'd like on my amp (including the 6-band EQ option).
I'm curious to hear the new Unearth album "The March" if they mixed the Deliverance and Pittbull (UL ?). I'll have a listen in the local Virgin (they have listening posts).

Apparently the live vids on here were done with VHT's- http://www.uvtv.info/unearth.php
I haven't got round to hearing their new album yet though.
