General

Built for the genuine connoisseur tone-chasers, the VHT Special 6 combo amplifier is home to a hand-wired and mod-ready 'eyelet board'. The potent tube-driven sound of this boutique-grade combo is shaped by a 12AX7 preamp valve and a 6V6 power amp valve, and can be given a sweet gain boost to flip from a rhythm to lead tone and back again using the included external fooswitch. All of this is voiced by a neat 10 inch VHT High-Sensitivity speaker loaded with a larger-than-average magnet to ensure excellent sonic spread.

The VHT Special 6: Epic Style

Fitted with a power switch, this refined amp can be shifted from a high, into a low power setting, halving the output while retaining the full quality of sound - perfect for rehearsals and studio sessions. Shifted back into high power mode, the Special 6 delivers more than enough volume to compete with the drummer. Considering these high-end features and the hand-wired construction, this amp gives you more than enough value for your hard earned money.

Excellent mod platform at their original price, back on release. Now they cost three times as much, it makes no sense whatsoever to buy one of these.

Compré un B-stock, en teoría como nuevo, pero hace un ruido horroroso al cambiar de Standby a Hi o Lo Power. Lo devolveré.
El sonido en sí me gusta. Tiene un gran limpio.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.
