Does anybody have a DHA VTX-400?

[misrule]

Hi, folks --

Can anybody help me out with their opinion on the VTX? Does the dummy load feature give as rich tone as an all-valve amp?

I'm considering one for that valvey goodness without the weight.

Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer.

Cheers

Mark

with my experience with that type of amp is that they kind of get the sound and work great for studio stuff, but if you want a proper valve sound without the weight look into something like the torres amps bassman it only weighs 15.6kg and is loud enough to keep up with a hard hitting drummer.

Thanks, umph. Sorry -- didn't see your reply until now. I'll check out the bassman.

The build thread for the previous version of that amp series from the prototype onwards, note the revisions at the end leading to the VTX series.

Has reviews too.
