VH4 - Channel 3 or Channel 2 for life?

If I can only use one for life and I get to use a boost pedal, Channel 2. With some knob trickery, you can cover almost everything with that underrated channel.

Also, in your closing thoughts you made a good point... (sorry sent loads of messages). I think the Fractal stuff compliments the player. It's something about the way it takes the signal and enhances it and compresses it, it's hard to explain but if you hear people on the fractal stuff, they sound much better as a player then if they'd use a traditional amp. An amp like this as you said, will pick up on every little nuisance in your playing and for me, that makes it far more appealing.

​@@HumanHamCubeI was wondering the same thing bro, along with the Bogner blue and red pedals. I have an amp I absolutely LOVE, but I really want to have the ability to have different gain/distortion structures if I so choose or a song calls for it. My amp has plenty of awesome sounding gain on tap, but a Diezel/ Bogner sound at the press of a button would be literally all I'd need. I have the Friedman IR-X preamp and it's amazing, so that bad boy and the other 2 would complete my personal trifecta of favorites.

Nice one Leon 👍sounds sick . I also must confess I bought one for channel 3 but as time has gone by I find channel 2 is massively underrated. Channel two and three are essentially the same just wired differently said Peter Diezel . The extra gain stage comes in on channel 4 more compressed and voiced for single notes , channel for solos. And absolutely agree with you , there is no where to hide in this amp it will highlight your mistakes but is very rewarding when you nail those parts . This amp definitely made me a better player but it’s not for everyone.

On my VH4, channel 3 doesn't like overdrives except the MXR Microamp, which retains the exact same tone of the amp adding sizzle and a little bit more gain. Channel 2 is fantastic but for what I like the most, a TS808 or TS9 is a must. It's my dream amp and I'm happy I have a special one with me.

As a MKIV owner, and brief owner of the VH4, I feel that they’re 2 entirely different beasts. I owned the VH4 for a few weeks before selling it. It’s a unique voicing that is an acquired taste. Nothing like the Mark series or 5150 sound that I tend to gravitate towards. I couldn’t get the VH4 to sound nearly as thick and aggressive (low end lacked that juicy articulate attack) as a mark/5150/jcm800. I was disappointed and felt like the VH4 is overhyped. But I think it’s just a voicing you either love or hate! Seems like musicians like to blend it with other amps. It might be a volume thing too - some videos online have master at half and channel cranked. That’s insanely loud without an attenuator or load box -> DAW. I think the more traditional mark/5150/jcm/etc sound is better for faster stuff, and the VH4 perhaps for that huge sound and drop D/C riffage.

Had an og peavey 5150, 2 that was a bit easier on my ears, less digital/compressed. Friedman's always sounded like a jcm with a sd1 ts9 boosting it so I never really thought it was worth the price.

While undoubtedly a fantastic amp (I have a Hagen with a VH4 transformer), you have to figure in with these amps that should something go wrong (as with my already mentioned Hagen) they will be very hard to repair. I've learned the hard way with ENGL's that have gone down where the nearest ENGL "tech" to me was nearly 3,000kms away. As with their cars they're really good, really reliable...until they're not and then pick the circle of Hell you want to hang out in.

I've never clicked a video so damn fast .This is my fav amp in the world. Metallica would use this amp and a Mark IV boogie spliced together. Would you pay 3.5K for an Axe FX3 or 2.5K for one of these? I often debate that in my mind! Also, not to bring up an old boring issue, but as amazing as the modellers are, and the convience they bring, you just cannot replicate a proper valve sound like that. It sounds incredible. If I could, I'd take one of these to a gig all day and record with it, even with the consideration of how good the Fractal stuff sounds and how convenient it is.

Funny.. I just traded a 1986 Mark III Blue Stripe for a VH2 ironically, which is the stripped down, cheaper version of the VH4. Solid demo! Where I'm glad the VH2 doesn't have all the features of the VH4, plus a different clean channel, which I hear is based off the Einstein. What you didn't cover is how OVERWHELMING the features of the VH4 are, as it has so much more on the back panel for connections, and integrating into an existing rig.

Oh yeah, that back panel is tricked out hey! VH2 has the VH4 3rd channel right?

@@LeonTodd far as I'm aware. I can't say I've actually played a VH4 to compare. But from your demos, it sounds quite similar.

How you liking the VH2? I’d be sad with that trade. Love the Mark tone! Briefly had a VH4, but I guess I gravitate towards the Mark/5150/JCM800 sound, or at least conditioned to prefer those tones with all the famous rock/metal records. 😅 Edit: Mark IIC+/III definitely lack the channel switching versatility. The IV/V/VII/JP2C are incredibly versatile though!

Diezel, Soldano, Mark and MArshall, cannot go wrong with ANY of these!!!!! (Think I left FENDER out>>Look at the beginnings of all these amps, they are one and ALL Fenders at their root)(Even Mike Soldano was working with basic Fender circuits when he was putzing around...they ALL were) IF NOT FOR FENDER NONE OF THESE WOULD EXIST PERIOD.

The riffage starting at about 12:18 sounded so tight yet so fat.

Channel two is where my soul lies but channel 3 really does that 'thing'. Also gotta throw props at the closing thoughts, yeah it sounds absolutely bitchin, but if you ain't playing right it's not gonna do you any favors. Nobody really talks about that
