[QUOTE="Rising Farce, post: 121145, member: 1859"] I just picked up one of these in a trade (the second one built, in fact, way back in mid '09), planning to use it as a donor. But before shipping it out, I decided to throw some good preamp tubes in it and give it a whirl. I'm glad I did. Apparently it's based on the VHT 50/ST amp, which, according to Rob, was Fryette's take on a hot-rodded JCM 800. It combines the best qualities of the latter with the tightness, cutting mids, and extremely articulate nature for which VHT/Fryette amps are known. As you might expect, it does demand technical precision, but the payoff is a unique, moderately heavy tone that works well for most anything short of drop F# Norwegian church-burning metal. If you can track one of these relative rarities down on the used market (they were going for preposterously low prices, last I checked), I highly recommend trying it out. Shred on. [/QUOTE]
