Bah don't want anyone thinking it's an axl  :P

I had a Pitbull 45 ages ago that was great but had more buttons and options than the U.S.S Enterprise. Been checking some of the bands that use them - the Unearth guitarist has 4 of the 120 model running at the same time, ouch!  :lol:

But Unearth do bloody rock though :D

In the future I'd want to snakeskin my VHT and have a custom metal grille instead of the fabric one it has now. It'll be beast.

They could do with discovering the mid knob though!

Ewww @ Fryette faceplate
+1 :lol:

But that's a pretty good score, I liked the one i tried (though i can't remember if it was the 60 or 120 version), i think the 120W version normally goes around the £1400 mark.

When I was paying guitarguitar earlier they said they aren't going to stock them anymore because they reckon it would be too hard to shift the FRYETTE name.
:shock:

I was tempted to bid on the Pitbull CL too but going by clips, forum posts etc the Deliverance looks much more my kinda amp. Hope I made the right choice, I can return it if I didn't though.

Look at the text on the bottom left of the Deliverance PCB  :lol: :lol: http://www.chrissnider.net/temp/vht_deliverance6.jpg

That makes it actually worth learning how to build amplifiers, so you can share all your wisdom with the world, engraved on PCBs  :lol:

It arrived safe and sound, if you order from guitarguitar do it in confidence the packing job was really good.

I've played the amp for a couple of hours now on 1/4 volume, afraid to go higher though 'cause of the greenbacks :p
It's got the typical VHT super fast attack but a really different voice to the Pitbulls. It feels like a Hiwatt dr103 bar-stewardized for highgain. The dynamics are crazy cleans up stupidly good - you can set it up for death metal gain and roll the vol down for super super clean tones. 

I'll stick an sm57 against it at some point and do some clips.

If only those amps had loops! Same as the Avenger. I love them but I need some delay at times, cannot have it in front.

Yea, this amp's sounds so aggressive and pissed off. I asked about the fx-loop to and Fryette said there's room for one. The Radial mix looks good though, wonder how effective that would be.

Doesn't solve the issue that your FX will be placed before the amps distortion.

That HO attenuator/reamper could be a good solution for building a manageable wet/dry rig with 2x100W solid state from the downloaded amp, which can be on full blast: http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=18465.0

It can't be that hard for a tech to fit one. It's a friggin huge head.

same here. I can make do with the single channel thing, and I don't even use FX all that much, but I'm not certain I could do without the loop. They both sound badass, though.

I've seen the writing on the PCB board before, it's pretty funny :lol:

I was dealing with GuitarGuitar for my Bogner cab, they offered good service and appear well stocked. ITs a shame they are so far away!

I can understand about the name thing though, I don't know much about the models, but I would be more willing to play a VHT than if someone asked if I would like to play through a Fryette.
Congrats on your purchase anyway, I thought you were more of a mellow player :?
