VHT Sig X test...

[nwright]

I'm just wondering how it fits into their current product range (which in of itself is infuriatingly hard to determine because of VHT's horrendously outdated website and poor descriptions, such as what the difference between the Fifty/CL and Fifty/ST is) - according to the guy I talked to at NAMM, the Sig-X is still cheaper than the Ultra-Lead, which apparently is still VHT's flagship, but I don't know how, cuz what separates an Ultra Lead from a 100/CL escapes me as well. Definitely the most perplexing amp company I've ever encountered RRrrggghhhh...

Steve Fryette (VHT amp founder), had a post on one of the gear forums outlining why the Sig-X was cheaper than an UL. IIRC, a lot of it had to do with the circuit design and implementation was more efficient, so cost to produce was less on a labor and parts basis.

The head overall is quite nice, definately versatile as there a bajillion switches and shit. I still haven't tapped into the "jaw drop" sound yet.

I think lower gain + picking like a maniac (=hard) can help to reach that "jaw drop" effect.
