Thanks. I'm actually really partial to the big open G chord in the end and the muted 16th triplets.mentoneman":2vpcdw6l said:degenaro":2vpcdw6l said:

That thing is my fave gain head, feels fantastic and sounds great. In the past getting the tone wasn't the issue but hih gainers never felt right for me.

Sounded pretty good.
So what did VHT do to cut costs on the Sig-X? Did they use cheaper transformers, PCB boards or something?

All VHTs are PCB...moronmountain":3mneofrq said:degenaro":3mneofrq said:

I doubt it. For starters the Ultra Lead is a 4 power tube amp, with graphic etc...
And it is their flag ship model. I like to think that in 20 years oc building channel swtchers you learn enough about the process to make stuff more effectively...

It would seem that would make the price of all their amps go down unless the new processes would require them to basically redesign them. Well that's cool if they've been able to keep the quality up and still have the price be lower.

No way! I'm not saying that. I said that it does sound and feel different than the UL, which I expected. I just had another round on it and it sounds pretty darn good, man. Everyone comments on the "feel" and I know exactly what they're saying. It feels GREAT. Sound is killer too and it has tons of options.
I have it dialed in right now for 6 killer tones (three channels, normal and boost per channel) and the effects loop for a lead volume boost. It's a very nice amp. I hope to get more time with it later today and for sure this weekend.
And it'll keep getting better the more you play with the switches and the controls because you'll get a better idea of how they react and change the tone which will help you get where you are wanting to go with it. If someone really really likes the feel and tone of the UL then the SigX may not be their thing. It will be a good amp for those guys who want a bit more classic feel than the UL delivers. Yep the feel of the SigX does it for me. Wait until you play it live.... it'll cut for you really nice. Another thing I notice is its so musical to me...... you can be playing and just turn towards the cab and get this really musical feed back thats so controllable.

I know I've been busting your chops a tad, but this is really why I think you'll want the UL back. You're loving this amp right now (as you should it's a VHT for Pete's sake!), but I remember what you loved about the UL was the punch. I can't imagine an amp using a tube recto being anywhere NEAR as punchy as a UL even if it is a VHT amp. You said that the punch from the UL is what you were always missing in other amps. I do actually hope you like the Sig-X enough not to regret it, but does it have the punch you like, or are you "over" wanting a puncy amp?
