solo tone starting at 1m14s is truly beautiful.

what about something with a big power chord riff?

how would you describe the bass response of the pickups? strong or weak compared to something like the mule?

Sounds great Hunter!

Thanks TF, happy you like the VM.

By the way my Shiva's Bias was way off (22mA) and just readjusted it and it sounds purely awesome. Guess bias drifts from time to time and when you play the amp every day you might not realise it's off. Well anyways, guess the little beige one gets a proper spanking with the Strat and some Deep Purple this afternoon :O)

Gwem regarding bass on the VHIIs, hmmm, I'd say they have a tighter bass but is not very boomy. The Blackdog has a lot of mids but the VHII seems a bit more even in its frequency response. I would describe it as more crunchy whereas the Blackdogs can be punchier with the right guitar. I would say if your guitar is light/bright, rather get VHIIs, if it's dark and meaty, get BlackDogs.

That is again a quality clip, but you seem to be lapsing back into your FX, what happened to that pure dry signal when you first got the VM eh?

Come on Will, just a bit of reverb and wah, I'd say the tone of the VHIIs and the VM still comes through rather pure, no? :(

cheer up! I didn't think I was that bad, but it seems I prefer a pure signal :? I thought I was ok with reverb and wah.
Not faulting it at all though Hunter, how can I, good playing, good recording, and very controlled use of effects. I thought you had used more lol

edit: by any chance could you record pure VHii and VM though :P?

thanks for you thoughts hunter... seems like VH2s would be a nice BKP to add to my selection
