Just an FYI…. I have been using two Friedman 4x12 cabs with my VH4 for nine years. The cabs are the two GB and two V30 cabs. Try one…..you might like it!

I’ve been using a Friedman horizontal 2x12 with my VH4 for four years. Sounds fantastic and is lighter than my Diezel 4x12 (which I leave at home).

I have a D-Moll. It has KT77’s and not the 6l6’s…..a different animal from what you’re describing. I also have a Genalex Gold Lion ECC83 in V1 and a TAD 12AX7 in V2. No fizziness and tightens up like a Herbert version 2.

Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell in all my Les Pauls. Tuning = Eb VH4, D-Moll, Herbert.

While I’m waiting for the Mini in 2024, I bought a Soldano Astro……but I still need a Mini!

I started asking a couple years ago. I couldn’t wait any longer and bought a Mesa Rectifier Badlander 25 Head…..

For the past 8 years, I have been using Friedman cabs with V30’s and Greenbacks. The sound covers the entire audio spectrum.

The sound is better with KT77’s

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…..

Try a Mullard CV4004 tube in V1…..that’s the only change I made and it worked for me…..this is assuming you have KT77’s in the power section.

Rebel Yells!

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.
