Walked into my local GC - they never have crap but seems like I need to go in there every 6-9 months just to make sure they don't have crap... Walked out with a YJM - I absolutely do not need amps like this (I have a VM also), as I play at home and not up on any stages. but for me, even at lower vol...

I saw that gig (I'm Norwegian) , it was an awesome fuckin' night! Slash's playing was very tight, but more imporantly, i scored an über-hot married chick in her mid 20's that evening as well, so it couldn't have been a better end to a fantastic evening :bgrin i have a hunch the husband might disagree

who knows what he might be doing or what youtube might be masking - but there is a large difference in volume between LDR and HDR. there are many threads that talk about this on here - may even be some creative ways that others have dealt with it (ie to try and get some 2 channel-like functionality ...

its not a problem - its the way the VM was designed. its simply not a 2 channel amp. i think of it as a single channel amp that happens to have two distinct voicings (dont know if thats technically the correct way to think about it but thats how i do).

just returned a 1974x and have a Class 5. The 1974x is significantly louder (or at least 'sounds' louder - maybe the larger speaker/cab has something to do with it also).

Depending on how loud you can run in our house, it could break up....but its going to be loud.

Gentlemen (i use the term loosely in these parts:)), I am ecstatic to report that my 2466 and mid-80's 1960bx is back home in my guitar room - yes, my baby is home! I am only a hobbyist player (ie only at home when work allows) but i can honestly say i had problems sleeping (literally) until i secur...

good lord, that thing is f*cking genius...the script, selection of animation, references...just priceless!

good lord, that thing is f*cking genius...the script, selection of animation, references...just priceless!

would be great to get some firsthand reports. i guess one way to think about it is the Jub's will always be there - actually, i think so will the AFD (2300 is a lot to sell out of immediately at their price point) - so maybe, if i were going to go with one, it would make sense to try out the AFD (pr...

i am SUCH a sucker for the hype!:)

not even a big slash fan but the amp has sounded cool in the demos....and that power control...

So, I am curious - how potentially redundant do you think the VM and AFD heads would be? I have a VM but, I have to say, the power scaling aspects of the AFD (as well as overall GAS for something a little more 'modern' sounding) has me wondering if it might be worth a plunge. Prior to thinking about...

well, wish me luck...and i certainly appreciate all the advice....but im just going to try and get back my exact old rig....if i need to pay a couple hundred extra to do it fine (hopefully not excessively more)...ll chalk it up to a life lesson and chasing that 'holy grail' of tone. sometimes, just ...

many thanks guys! its nice, if nothing else, to be able to commiserate with those who can relate:) about the 2x12 notion (and not completely discounting the 4x12) there seems to be only 2 options form Marshall: - the recently discontinued 2061cx - and the (what i understand) less than optimal 1936 i...

I had been using a 2466 and older 1960bx (that i purchased used). I only play at home and even though i was pretty satisfied with the '70's type tones I was getting I decided to downsize. Ended up going to a very classy 1974x that I use an OCD pedal with to get some overdrive at lower volumes. It ju...

curious why you guys are recommending ab OD pedal rather than just increasing the preamp gain - not disagreeing, just very curious. most of the time i have seen people recommending OD pedals with the VM it was for higher gain (or for essentially a two channel amp). What is it about SRV's tone that y...

RE: eq... i agree i have not seen a tremendous impact with tweaking these - except in one regard. I always had the middle and treble set higher than the bass knob. recently, what i have been doing is cutting the bass altogether (knob on zero) and getting whatever low end i want by adjusting the body...
