Who here is using a VM for regular pro gigging?

[Terry McInturff]

Tell us how it's going, and what the instrumentation lineup in your band is.
Thanks!

I've used my 2466 with my Ozzy-era Black Sabbath tribute band since its release.
I've had no issues with the amp, apart from a valve going down once, (which can happen to any amp).
Its totally reliable and I still smile every time I hit my first chord of the sound-check!
I also have the 2266 as a backup.

My band: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums.

That is an awesome live setup u got there.
I think I can picture the VM doing old Sabbath.
Now whip out some live YouTube clips from one of your shows. U must rock !!

use the Vm alongside the jvm in my live rig for every show
links to the two bands I play in are in my sig, one is a top 40 rock band, the other is a texas blues thing
amp can do most anything you ask of it if you know how to ask properly

Pretty much my band consists of:

Vocals, Me on Lead/Rhythm Guitar,Bass and Drums. We play Rock N Roll,Metal,Oldies,Pop,Blues and a little Country but we are mostly Hard Rock.

I've had the Vintage Modern 2466 100 watt head since March and it has since replaced my 1966 Fender Bandmaster as my main amplifier.

I use it with a 2x12 cab and every practice has been amazing and every gig has been sheer stunning. I will get people who know absolutly nothing about Guitars and amplifiers along with professionals amp/guitar gurus who praise the way my tone sounds not only live but on cd and in their stereos.The Vintage Modern just jumps out on recordings and a live situation as if you were hearing the song in 3d, theres so many textures just in one of my guitar tracks thats its been truly an amazing expirence having the Vintage Modern in my rig.

While I think I've always had great tone in most amplifiers I've used, I've knocked every ball out of the ballpark with the VM and I've never had the legions of people asking me what the secret is to my sound like I do now. I can plug my guitar into a 15 watt practice amp and still sound good and like myself but when I plug into the Vintage Modern its as if I had just made out with every girl in my top 10 dream girls list. Its Orgasmic!

Dream girls aside this thing is a pussy magnet! girls love watching my band practice and they love the solos as well :-)

I've been using the VM for a little over 2 years in a basic 2 guitar, bass, drum cover band. We play about 3 times a month doing anything we like(and the singers can sing) from Cream to STP, Cheap Trick to Old 97's.
I play a 95 PRS custom 22 w Bareknuckle Mule pickups, VM into 1936 cab w/Eminence Red Fangs.Not a lot of effects, ProCo Rat, Crybaby, and some delay pedal I use rarely, and can't even think of the name. Never had a problem, no backup, but I'm getting nervous thinking everyone has a backup amp but me.
It's a great amp, I can play at any volume level and get a tone I like. Loud is better though.
We do some songs in dropped D and G tuning that I use a Rickenbacker 360 12 string that I took the 6 octave strings off.
I put on a medium heavy set of strings so the neck doesn't warp too bad, and it sounds great.
