VHX - My VH4 channels 1 2 3 cloned.

[rickenbacker198]

For those VHX users out there here are my approximations of my 2001 VH4 set where I really like it.
These are set side by side through the same cab.
Both amps running the pre and power tubes I prefer for each of them.
Not exact but very close to my ear.
This earlier era of VH4 it requires a bit of volume to sound great - same sound on the VHX also needs a bit of volume to come alive.

What’s your cab/speaker combo?

 

[rickenbacker198]

Have a few..
The A/B was set up with a Marshall1960a with old vented G12T-75’s

Tubes make a massive difference in these amps as well.
