It's definitely not a plug and play amp and if you use store gear chances are it's been tweaked for all kinds of strange settings (not modded, just adjusted).
This amp takes patience and needs to be worked with between the amp and the guitar. That is a prerequisite and part of the VM indoctrination so to speak. Takes time to find the sweet spots but once you do, dayum!
The pre amp tubes do need to be changed but I heard the potential when I spent time playing with it.
I did notice one thing and that is crappy players (and this is no diss to anyone) sounded just bloody awful through these VM's and yet those same players didn't sound
as bad through the Boogie's and JVM's. I think high gain amps tend to hide poor playing. Again no diss to those amps either.
Just like the jubilee the VM won't hide certain things in fact it tends to expose them and is one of THE most articulate amps I've ever played through so it very well could be that something is wrong with the head also?
