OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years may close. I try harley benton GA5 also good but I prefer the VHT. What I love is put to do add my booster pedal seymour duncan pickup + 25 DB and hurt him ^ and he does not flinch at the price frankly it's a really good amp experience I I would do this choice has to keep a little bit of time that the

All lamps.
Sold ... 6 watts.
Quality connectors, solder points á point, protective corners iron, nickel finish faux leather, sturdy.
Cable HP concrete.
Minimum settings, volume, tone, boost.standby

UTILIZATION

Super simple, no need to book.

SOUNDS

We get a good clear sound, but you have to push the volume a bit cruncher.
Perfect with my strat or my Univox hollowbody for a more jazzy or 60's.
The woofer 50 watts is a lot.
Á spring reverb missing, but frankly it's been much noise as some brands sold amps for 15 watt 500 Euros.

OVERALL OPINION

Mainly in the studio and in my apartment.
With battery, volume 4 á enough ... and it is 6 watts.

The finish is tough...…

OVERALL OPINION

The finish is tough and it is nickel, very fender pro junior compared to eg.

My only concern that I had bought to play with me, but you really have to push the volume and sound crunchy lá neighbors are not happy. I need to find a house :-)

And it is unfortunate to use a pedal to an amp with distortion á lamps.

I just recorded an album with this amp and after having little use á near all major brands, marshall, fender, vox ... I can say that this amp sounds really good.
I love the finish that does not knock compared to brands!

Super price / quality ratio

VHT Amplification (AXL) Special 6 Combo AV-SP1-6Published on 09/11/11 at 06:15

Excellent for the price paid (90 euro's cheaper secondhand that pedal!)

Amp 12AX7 / 6V6

6W/2W: 6W the position is really very powerful for home use, unfortunately the position 2W provides a sound so good.

The build quality is impressive.
Another plus: the pedal comes with boost.

UTILIZATION

Excellent
The config is simple: two pots: no need of manual

Use in home studio.
the sound is in my opinion better position 6W, I have to use it with an external cab placed in another room because it sends a lot.

SOUNDS

Excellent
Perfect for my use because it delivers all types of sound, light to bold.
It fully respects the sound of my guitar (strat / Lindy Fralin blues,...…

Excellent
Perfect for my use because it delivers all types of sound, light to bold.
It fully respects the sound of my guitar (strat / Lindy Fralin blues, TV / fender noiseless, Epiphone dot / Classic 57)

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent:
I use it for 9 months.
this is my first tube amp. Prior to recording, I used an emulator or plugin amp and my guitars lost much of their personality.

Since purchasing the amp, I replaced the original lamps and I use a cab home with a HP Weber 10 "alnico and there is outright happiness!

6V6 to EL84 Adapter: Excellent yes, but ...

VHT Amplification (AXL) Special 6 Combo AV-SP1-6Published on 05/12/11 at 03:00
(This content has been automatically translated from French)
6V6/EL84 adapter (to mount an EL84 in a media 6V6)
Power: within 5 watts (at best)
Connections: Octal / noval

UTILIZATION

... Nothing to configure, but you must learn about his amp before use (even before purchase)

SOUNDS

Variable.

OVERALL OPINION

Tried in a Special VHT 6 deeply changed.
The opinion is mixed, with the original bias resistor, the sound is small and cramped ama, logically, the quiescent current of an EL84 in this circuit is very low to very top draw power, dynamics or serious we are entitled to expect.

The opinion is mixed, with the original bias resistor, the sound is small and cramped ama, logically, the quiescent current of an EL84 in this circuit is very low to very top draw power, dynamics or serious we are entitled to expect.
However, I got excellent results with one of my amendments provided for the use of 6L6 with a bias ideal: a cathode resistance of 250 ohms, which sticks very well with an EL84 in these tensions.
On the other hand, a majority of amps based 6V6 operate with a supply voltage much higher than of the Special 6, and for once completely incompatible with the use of an EL84.
Mistrust, my opinion is that summary is an indispensable gadget to tinker, allowing one or two strings to get another sound / grain / gain without having to drill / mount a second support for EL84 etc., but for the average user (that's nothing pejorative eh) which does not reach into his amplifier, it is likely to be a disappointment.
