Very cool ! Herbert mk 1 with 6l6s has become underrated. Mine hangs with my hermanssons and wizards . Ts9 boosted . Cool collection. That’s a fun herd

1st clips with it. guitar tuning/intonation is a little funky with the weather getting colder here. showing some of the different dipswitch modes. Gotta say I absolutely love this thing. Its kind of like a bastard lovechild of a 5150 and a Friedman/modded Marshall. Super fun to play too.

Just got another VTM two days ago as well. It's a little dusty though.

The VTM is an amazing amp, congrats on scoring one. I love mine to death and will never part with it.

Ha thanks! Well the plus side is it might make the 5150 prices come down a bitSounds awesome man. But ya know clips like this just keep making the prices go up.

Cheers. Weirdly it’s the one amp here I’ve really yet to bond with. I like that it’s distinct and nothing like the other amps, and the power and headroom are impressive. I also love the build quality. But sonically, IDK, I just can’t put my finger on it.
The VTM for instance was instant love and familiarity to what I like. I can’t seem to land on tones I like as much with the Diezel

It seems Marshall amp lovers don’t like them . Boosted with a ts9 it’s amazing for me . I need to make clips of it and Hermansson . Herbert’s blend great with Marshall’s too

I haven’t tried it with a boost really, i’ve always felt that would add more of what I don’t want to it. Definitely keen to hear some clips from people who love them to hear what kind of sounds I should maybe be shooting for with it.

Sounds good.
It's seems a little flat to my ears to what I usually like but it doesn't suck. I always liked Bubbastains clips of his VTM's but his avatar hurt's my eyes.................
Someone said these were basically a copy of a Jose Modded Marshall... Is there any truth to that statement?
I also always heard the Randall RG100ES was a copy or influenced by another Jose Modded Marshall.... The RG100ES's do have the treble pull diode clipping......................

Really cool clip, and nice playing as well. I love how raw and vintage these sound. I need to try one out sometime soon.

Man I really hope my tech sorts out the issues with mine. Granted it was operating fine just don't like seeing potential issues. Hopefully he can fix this and retube/recap it soon.
