I am always in search of ways of keeping my same sound but bringing a lighter rig to gigs. I have two Diezel 4x12 and two 2x12 Diezel cabs that I combine based on the venue size and use with a KT77 VH4 and/or a D-Moll…..but those Diezel cabs are heavy! A month ago on a whim I bought a...
After listeNing to that clip, I would check to see if all your preamp tubes are exactly the same between the two amps….. I have two VH4’s….one has a 4004 Mullard in V1 and the other has an Engl VF in V1. Very different sounding…..
I had the same issue until I started using a Friedman 4x12 with two GB’s and two V30’s. The cut Was coming from the amp but I couldn’t hear it before……the dual speaker mix picks up the entire sound spectrum…..
My two cents……Sounds like a one bad preamp tube in sockets 2 thru 4. I would remove the preamp tube covers, power it up, and tap lightly on each tube with a pencil. If you get a really strange noise, that’s your bad tube.
I use a VH4 and a Herbert Mk2 in tandem fed by a Lehle splitter. I’ve been using this set up for the last eight years. Great full sound!
The only thing I would be careful is not to mix one amp with KT77 tubes and one with 6L6 tubes.
