VHT Amplification (AXL) V-Drive AV-VD1

Received last week, used with very neutral amp / clean very powerful, and paul mini humbucker.

A real gas plant / boiboite this sounds, 4 knobs plus two rotary selectors eleven positions, plus trim pot adjustment voltage internal incredible.

True bypass (without battery or power supply sound goes) far from clear, blue LED too bling as usual

Transistors only course, a rotoselecteurs choose different characteristics frequencies, the other diode bridges for different type of saturax with a bypass position eleven of clean boost.

Drive-tone knobs (treble), volume (it grows hairy) - texture (comes with rotoselecteurs).

I've never had such a machine, very original and well done.

UTILIZATION

Obviously it is not easy to navigate, but it will still. It's just positioning trimpot voltage 9v plug next chicane which not only we see nothing but the more you forget, and it really changes the game.

Very little residual noise is serious as a tool. I feed with harley benton powerplant junior.

Basically you spend all kinds of overdrive-crunch, but not really with this distortion box, say like a jcm 900 as maximum gain.

SOUND QUALITY

It's very good, back to my pedals is painful, this vht behaves more like an amp than a pedal.
What is striking is the musicality and the frankness of his (trimpot to 9v) and the richness of mediums, it is absolutely delicious. Little compression to gain must whip the guitar nothing to do with the usual distos.
I will try with my gigi les paul emg to see if it changes, Shift if necessary.

I use it as a lead channel (channel crunch is the harley benton vintage overdrive, goes well with the vht elsewhere), and every time I start to feel that there is no enough gain (max. drive), but curiously it does when even after 30 seconds. Difficult to explain, more amp effect pedal.
Everything is clean, warm, dynamic, successful.

Lowering the voltage trimpot sound changes dramatically less headroom and more fuzzy, I do not personal but it can be very useful lo-fi pop genre.

The available volume can seriously disrupt an amp lamps and experiments hello there! I stick to my clean tough as host, it will save me the big butterfly net ...

OVERALL OPINION

Of course this is my start with, but I'm too lazy so usually when I find a setting about right I touch and play more. And the sound is amazing so here goes.

Only restriction, high-gain, this is not correct. All others will be happy, and its price is no reason to deprive yourself.

Unique product, perfect koa.
