If you play Sabbath then how do u not have enough gain?firdy wrote:I was quite disappointed with the VM cause I was more used to high gain, since I play more metal stuff. But then I realized one day that I'm gonna quit looking for a new amp and just make do with it.
I play Sabbath, Judas Priest etc, and 80s thrash. I don't play blues or country. Alot of classic rock and metal.
Slashwannabe, again you're assuming that nobody else but you has got it. When we are talking about "gain" or the term "high gain", we are not always talking about the amount of gain, but the character for the distorted sound. I think we're all aware that the VM is capable of deliver alot of gain. But for modern metal it's not always the right sound. Some may want that crushy sound with a very tight bottom, a sound that usually is described with the term "modern high gain". I can fully understand why people don't wanna use the VM for i.e. Death Metal, and describes the VM as not being a "high gain" amp.Slashwannabe1 wrote:If you play Sabbath then how do u not have enough gain?firdy wrote:I was quite disappointed with the VM cause I was more used to high gain, since I play more metal stuff.

I'm just learning Crazy Train for my band and all I'm using here is just my Seymore Duncan Alnico 2 equiped guitar on high range on the VM and I easily explode with Randy's gain and quite a few notches more.
Theres nothing in my loop to boost the sound just guitar and amp through 2 Jensen Mod 12-50 50 watt speakers vintage brittish voiced speakers. 3:40 on the time shows just how heavy the VM is and I don't even have it maxed out, detail is 7.5 and my body setting is at 4.5. When I recorded that my neighbors who have a garage band said it sounded like the world was coming to an end when they heard me jamming that Enter Sandman riff from all the shaking of my house.
1:50 during VR's American Man when I played that metal riff that thing had loads of power.
I honestly think you guys who say it don't have enough gain just aren't used to hearing every note you play with the clearity VM gives it and perceive it as a lack of gain.

Shouting? how am I shouting? Because I'm passionate I'm shouting?TonyC wrote:I can see and understand you're happy with the VM, and so am I. But you really dont need to teach us in that shouting manner of yours. Besides this forum is crowded with poeple who's been playing for 20-30 years, for fun or professionally, so you're really kicking a lot of already open doors here.
We all love the VM. Calm down.

The Vintage Modern is ideal for Sabbath and Priest, don't know about 80s thrash though.
Brent Hinds from Mastodon has a Vintage Modern and they're metal!
