(if I can ever find one at a reasonable price)keep a hold of your mark 2 - the prices for them will prob go up through the roof. even the mark IV apparently will now go for more second hand than it was brand new since they discontinued it.

Lame Guitarist Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 make sure you get a real VHT and not a cheap clone. Apparently the name VHT was bought over by a chinese company called AXL that will punt out cheaply made amps called VHT and look just like the norm. Don't know the full reason but something to do with the guy that owns VHT losing the trademark, being taken to court and losing out or something like that. He is still releasing his VHT well built branded amps but under a new name. I think the name is Fryette amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprinted Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 There's a lot of hub-bub about the VHT/Fryette/AXL saga. The current most popular one is Steve Fryette taking a loan from AXL and using the VHT name as collateral. When he defaulted on payments they took him to court and won.It's the real deal original VHT Sig X. The new line of VHT's don't have anything in common with the original Fryette designed amps. Small boutique style club amps rather than the versatile high wattage monsters originally created under the VHT name. You can find the new stuff at Fryette Amplification - site's a bit bare bones, apparently Steve must find creating the amps more appealing than spending time designing a website. the original VHT one was shit as well. Good job the amps don't suck or I'd be an unhappy bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser Mac Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 i hope to get all the gear to make my rackmount set up and an ampeg 8x10 / 6x10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I need to get a new distortion pedal (ideally the gainiest pedal you can buy) and a low wattage valve combo with an amazing clean channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbroken Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Rarer than hens teeth those!Never paid attention but why did Fender stop producing them?because they are shit. (fender i mean)nah seriously, no idea...shame, because they are certainly an amp that is loved. This amp is regarded as one of the best all valve bass amps ever made alongside the original ampeg blueline svt's, mesa boogie 400+, Peavey classic 400 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairyScaryMark Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Getting really bad GAS for the Mesa Boogie MK 5 now. Think it would be at least 2010 before I ended up buying one though. Would like to see people's responses who have owned it for a little while also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
