[QUOTE="Rising Farce, post: 154877, member: 1859"] The HBE sounds, well, like a Friedman-modded Marshall--slightly dark, aggressive but refined, full of overtones, and with that incredible Friedman feel. The tonality is mid-forward, as you'd expect, making it great for lead use. I've never played a real VH4, but the module has loads of tight, punchy low end, making it a lot of fun for palm-muted material. It actually reminds me a bit of the gain channel on a PRS Archon, though a little more hollow in the mids. It doesn't have the fluidity of the HBE, but it's not "stiff" like, say, a Fryette. The clarity and note separation is top notch on both--better, in fact, than most of the high-end (non-modular) amps I've owned. I don't know how much of this is attributable to the Friedman-modded RM100 I'm using them in, but I suspect the Synergy heads would be just as good, if not better. I didn't think a TS-type pedal helped either; they sound fine straight in or with a little delay in the loop. [/QUOTE]
