More Clips, done at virtually no volume with my new VHT 50ST/EL84.
It's harder to have the VHT sound OK without higher Volume, as this amp really needs a bit push on the power tubes (each amp does, but the Shiva is a bit easier to make sound big when it's at whisper/night levels).
But experimenting some positions and settings and you get quite good results. I have the strong feeling that the VHT might cut it better in the band.
The Axis has new strings too. There is a TRex RoomMate in the loop of the VHT.
What I find remarkeable is the lead sound I get in the middle position of the RebelYell set. This is on the last part of the distorted file around 1:10. I NEVER played lead in the middle position before on any pickup/guitar.
