Just grabbed a VH4:

Has some JJ EL34's I think. It doesn't sound as good as the one from the shootout. Not sure what was in the one I used, I'm inquiring. It lacks the low end and the hi fi sparkle, it sounds more English. What's the best tubes for the VH4?

I'd totally put some Svetlana 6550s in that amp man. It will totally rip with them in there. Played a friends VH4 w/ it, and I was like...holy mother of god...that's killer tone! :)
 
SED 6550 its what diezel uses now SED is one of the best tube companies IMO.
 
Some more listening....

Really digging the SLO...
Really digging the EVH 5150 III tones, but thats no suprise as I already liked it when I played it.

That Shiva sure doesn't sound like my old Shiva :confused: it might still be here if did that....
 
I didnt listen to many clips yet....liked the SLO and Elmwood alot. They sound pretty similar actually.
 
Watched all the vids. They all sounded really good. Liked the later videos as it got later and the beer was flowing!!
:rock:
 
I cannot believe i missed this! :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: If i would have known it would be this EPIC i would have drove to LA myself! Thanks for posting the Bruce lesson vid also! this is really great man! thank you so much! You just made be GAS for like 100k worth of amps.. shit.. must own them all! muhahaha!
 
You guys didnt through Axe Fx in the shootout? I really wanted to hear how it compares to all these boutiques, especially now that im getting one soon...
 
First, thanks so much for doing this... it is totally killer! Really cementing for me how amazing Dave's work is. Second, congrats on the VH4! Third, you said you were going to unload some gear to get the VH4, so... I'll take the '71 ST!!! :rock:

I like both of those as well. Some guys didn't like the ELmwood clip but i like it. Oh well, some guys are drooling over the VH4 clip while i don't think much of it.


Watching all the videos it's like we have our own little reality show :lol: :LOL: The Real Housewives OF NJ can suck it. :D Can't believe my wife watches that crap.

I think I'm gonna really love this amp. I gotta play tighter and cleaner though. In the sections where my playing is better it sounds better.


"Trapped inside this lonely mayeeyaze" :rock: :rock: :rock:

You f@#*er....if nothing else you've got your song permanently ingrained in about 10,000 dudes heads.... :lol: :LOL:

BTW - amp sound pretty freaking good.
