So you got beautiful natural sounding sqeals out of your VH2 opposed the the crippled pinches i'm getting - no matter what i do?
I didn’t have and problems . I like the 6l6s in it best .
uh oh, I think I know exactly what you mean, lol.
That amp could have used a presence control IMO.
Thought we were talkin about preamp tubes, because the power amp tubes have absolutely nothing to do with it... Doesn't matter. I got it sorted out.
It's a preamp issue. But the Mr. Hector lacks some control, that's right.uh oh, I think I know exactly what you mean, lol.
Praise the Lord!I can appreciate a good squeal.
I use pinch harmonics all the time.
So, I feel you Simon.
What’s your take on the VH2 vs DMoll?Praise the Lord!
I got it sorted out. I had the same problem with the D-Moll. I had to boost it beyond usable Levels of gain, then it squealed like crazy in a good way, or at least in a way i like it.
Didn't have the Chance to play the VH2 loud after i figured it out yet. The D-Moll is probably a bit more brutal, a bit more grainy with more bass and highs, but also a bit plasticy in the sound and feel. I have to say, that the older DMolls sounded better than the new ones. Maybe it's just me, but i have the suspicion they also changed the Dmoll a little around the time the Herbert MK3 came out. I prefered my Dual REV D that i had back then to the MK3. Just more organic. The VH2 sounds a bit more organic and rounder than the Dmoll. Really like an inbetween of channel 3 and 4 of the VH4. Pretty good channel if it hadn't the "Pinch-Problem". It has harmonics, but it's also a bit choked in the overtones. I'd say it's voiced for standard tunings. But you can boost it like crazy. I made another clip with the gain on 10, Duality DX Red Channel in front, cranked TS side of the pedal, plus a clean boost with TC portion of it.
But it wasn't overly loud when i recorded it.
Thanks for the info! How about the DMoll compared to the Herbert MKIII? Because that’s probably what I’m getting next. FWIW I think the DMoll kicks ass, especially with a boost.Didn't have the Chance to play the VH2 loud after i figured it out yet.

I've AB'ed a Dmoll with a Herbert MK2 and the Dmoll to me sounded like a not as good Herbert. I think I liked the MK1 Herbert more fwiw over the MK2 and 3
Interesting, the MkIII seems more appealing to me just based on the fact that it’s supposed to be tighter and more modern sounding. I haven’t played any of them though.
I admittedly never AB’ed the different MK Herbert’s, but don’t remember the MK3 being tighter or more modern really, but maybe I’d hear that if AB’ed. I remember it seeming it a bit darker
Yes, the DMoll is pretty cool with a boost. I never played them side by side. But i made a straight in clip comparing the Rev D to the Herbert MK3 on low volume:
Kinda like here. It has nothing to do with personal skills, but how the Amp recreates the pinches.
You got it! That's exactly what i mean. Thanks.
For me, if an Amp doesn't do it "right" it's kinda broken.
