I mailed the notice of the head aprsrvision bought a secondhand Afien unscrupulous, it will recognize (rancor inside).
I possde this head now for almost a month.

USE

Relatively simple, the 4 channels rglent easily, the rear connection is Idale, we must lean on carefully especially before connecting (s) speaker (s). It's complete, but not as complicated as in Mesa for example.

SONORITS

Diezel possde a strong identity, a very personal grain always difficult thing to explain with words. Manire Gnrale of the 4 galisations are effective without being too versatile. Is it worth prciser this kind of amp only return what you send it ... I play a Gibson LP Custom By Orville (HB-L microphones and Gibson HB-R) and the sound is Vintage and full, I tried with an Epiphone LP Custom is ... something else. This difference between instruments is less sensitive to forcment amps infrieures ranges (I test the same guitars recently on a Marshall JMP1 + poweramp Mesa 20/20, the difference n'tait not as obvious). The dynamic is the VH4S I plug in a 2x12 Mount ENGL V30 @ 16 ohms. The stro really full, the sound is rich, thick, take space (nickel if your your only guitarist in a group). Note also the incredible definition of the attack remains whatever the gain level used channel ... Mrs channel 4, the notes of a plane shred remain very noticeable.

_The Clear channel 1 is beautiful, certainly the very best on the market of the current amp heads (my best memory in this modern GRADE amp was the clear channel of a combo Koch lamps), little is tle "modernize" len operating a brightness switch, impeccable. really sing, think Fender. gain around 9am with an LP sound is soft, noon began snapping svre (hola..les casseroles are shaking my own jeans ...), pushing it even comes a distortion rock / cool blues, which according to the guitar can be perfect for blues, rock, punk rock look with humbucker. In short, with this simple channel and a volume knob on the guitar, it is already a lot of things ...

_canal 2: low gain, it's a little more fat than channel 1, and slightly crunch with double coils, it sounds Marshall in his heyday, to turn pale plexi ... mamamia that the sound chaloreu! pushing the gain, you get a distortion JCM800 boosts ... a little more wicked than the AC / DC for example, again, this channel is itself a land of experimentation tr s wide.

_canal. 3: difficult to maintain a clear gain her down, but can be with single coils (test not performed Start with a light crunch sound that easy to reach, pass gain 12pm (I arr 1h you and it is already excellent) powerrock a distortion / metal 80's excellent, very bright and grainy. It is the channel that I use for the most time.

_Canal 4: The "mega" channel. As the name suggests, spits hard. The gain only feature is standard, not worth dpasser 1h. This channel is above all to reassure users that would feel limits on channel 3 ... Happiness for addicts Hi Gain.

edit the 08/03/2009: I play for one week on the VH4S Fender Telecaster Baja with a friend. Mid-range guitar (but very very honorale even when ...), yet what is a bitch in this amp ... The clean channel is really wonderful with single coils, the channel 2 DETAILEDREPORT for blues, and 3 gnial channel for good rock'n'roll rhythms and solos. Mamamia quickly a TV me ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

I possd lot of amps (Fender 15watts Transistor, Marshall Valvestate 265R stro, head JCM2000TSL100 Marshall JMP1 / Brunetti Mille / Tech21 Sansamp PSA1, Peavey Classic 50-50 / VHT 2 / 50/2) and tried a lot of stuff I was looking for a head amp mlangeant his vintage Marshall and modernity I have long thought Bogner (Ubershall), but having used a config stro for several years, I had trouble with the heads mono ...

The VH4-S responds all the characteristics I was looking for (MIDI controllable, nickel), she is kind, the kind of amp you love or dteste. The grain is singing the correct sries Mesa (yet I hesitated with Dual Roadster), but this grain tempted me so much ... If I change into a more or less near future, ie, is another grain (not better, not worse, just something else), and less power to operate because the possibilities of VH4S, we must seek the lamps and thereby play a dj volume consquent (I play in an apartment right in Lyon, passes, but the sound has nothing to do low volume ...).
What more ... excellence among others, try ...
