Georege's Guitars has Some VHT stuff in stock. I think their located in Coberg??? If you're just looking try out some VHT stuff, make the drive over to Mattawa and you can try my Classic or Deliverance 60. Both are absolute metal machines!!!

I'd like to hear the Mako too. Are you able to post any clips Ben?

Yes, the Classic was part of the Pittbull series(91-94?). The Classic is now called the CLX. Hartley Peavey made VHT change it because of their Classic line of amps. I believe they're built by hand and only made per costumer order.

BTW:Just PM me if you think you'll be in the area and we'll set something up.

Hey Metal#J#,

Does your PRS have a blend knob? I just looked at your pics and didn't see a selector switch.
No, but I've tried one. I wasn't really impressed with it mostly because it seemed to drop the level and make my EMG's not sound as hot. I've tried forever to find a 3 position rotary switch but haven't been able to find one. Right now, only the volume pot is hooked in to the bridge p/u and it seems to be working quite well. The EMG 81 came alive when I simplified the wiring and removed everything else. So I guess other than the volume knob, the other 2 knobs are just there to keep it looking pretty:smile:

And He has a Hughs and Kettner Red Box - I haven't seen one of those in a while. They where the the best thing going to get a guitar signal direct into a PA.

I've actually just replaced those in favour of the
Palmer PDI09. The Red Boxes have been great, but with our PA the Palmers sound a little closer to what's coming out of the cabs. Sound guys love'em!!

Mark, can you say more about this Egnater Amp Build course? Your 800 sounds fantastic man. About how much did the course run? Did it include accommodations and meals? Thanks!
The course is awesome....a must do! 2 day seminar with up to 6 students. Basically Bruce puts a chassis and parts in front of you with diagrams and a soldering station...and you start building. The turret board is pre-assembled by Terri(Bruce's wife). I must stress that NO previous experience is necessary although being able to solder will be an asset. Bruce is there to help you through everything. He periodically checks on your progress and answers any questions. They provide you with breakfast, lunch and beverages(pop, juice, water)both days. At the end of day one you will be playing your own amp. Bruce will not allow you to fail. The second day, Bruce explains how your amp works and describes the different circuits and how to mod them to change the tone. At the end of the second day he actually does some mods to let you hear the difference. The course far exceeded my expectations and I'd love to do it again.
I have even done a mod or two myself and have done a pretty intensive voltage mod and crosstalk fix to my CAE 3+SE preamp...something I would never have attempted before.

The course now costs $1550usd plus accomodations. This includes your amp and manuals and breakfast and lunch each day. The amp now comes standard with a tube buffered FX loop, depth mod and metal film resistors(not included when I went). It will be the best coin you've ever spent!!! The amp sounds amazing!

haha it actually won't work with the super. much to my surprise. I thought the external speaker jack was disconnected but some say that it just wont work because of the cab and amp. I did notice slight sound coming out of it. I have used the cab with just the regular speaker output and it sounded great and much different than the 10" fender speakers in the amp. as for now, the cabinet is for trade or sale depending if I can find something to sit in the same spot. I'm looking for an Orange combo since I have no head to run with the cabinet and I can't afford to buy a head for it at this moment :frown:

Here's my Marshall JCM 900 Dual Reverb 4500 and home-made pimpin' speaker cab with celestion g12m70s made by some dude.


GASing for a les paul and new speaker cabinet...

Gotta love that furry cab! You should have a ZZ Top kind of fur axe to go with it. :rockon2:
