@@BillySargent-xk5wz hell yeah!

@@AlanScottBand that 8-12k band sizzle will get lost won't it! I feel like it's noticeable and obvious however, I think it's pretty amazing how far we've come with modelling technology... I love my tube amps, but I'm not a cork sniffer by any means 😊

Haha it catches everyone off guard!

@the-tone-zone I don't know how I ended on your video but maybe you will be able to redirect me for help. This evening I have succesfully plugged the FX loop of my amp(Randall KH120) to my focusrite 18i20(1st gen). I am currently using Bias FX2 for the effects. I do have studio monitors but I want the full power of my amp. Is it safe to do this ? And should I plug my guitar in front of the amp OR into my interface (with this setup)? They are a couple of dudes doing this on the internet. But unfortunately there isn't a lot of ressources available if you want more info on how you plug your amp into your PC(for effects).

@nithaelgiroux780 I'm not really qualified to answer this, but I would say anything you're trying to plug an amp with a power section into, requires something similar to a load box like a Torpedo Captor X or Ox Box. I would caution plugging in a head into an interface whilst wanting to use the power section otherwise without an appropriate product to take the load of the power amp.

​@@the-tone-zone Thank you very much for your answer !

@@totc6196 if you go to 1:34 the GEQ setting is right there. Quad tracking also helps, lots of different variables involved as well so I'm not surprised that you aren't getting the exact same sound. Its odd because I have a friend of mine that has a JB in one of his Les Paula and he thinks the output on mine is lower (countering what you've said). So I guess it's testament to the fact that with guitar gear there are many variables and not to mention tbe classic phrase that tone is in the hands.

Possibly the thing is that I’m also using a JB pickup, which doesn’t vary much. I’m not saying you’re wrong. So, did you use the same settings on the real amp as on the Axe FX for the 5-band EQ? It just feels like it’s almost at crunch level-the tone is there, but there’s not enough saturation. Killer tone, by the way. I appreciate the response. Also I noticed you changed the bright cap value just curious was there a reason for that ? It sounds great! Another thing for the axe did you do the same left and right tone variation?

@totc6196 from memory it was quite close, however without looking at the actual model in the axe right now, I believe there is two gain stages. For the quad tracking, it woudk have beje a combination of a 57/906 but slightly varied in positioning.

And in terms of bright cap, I believe it just made it sizzle a bit more, I am really unconventional in the way I dial things in with the axe. There are models in it that sound insane, but respond completely incorrectly when changing values versus the real amp in my opinion. So I guess my point is, dial with your ears.

@ for sure couldn’t agree more. I guess my other question were you splitting two tones left and right? I’m close now I just messed around with it nearly identical just needed to juice the gain a bit and a few other tweaks.

Man for me it's application and ease. I find myself turning the axe on more than the heads. Not because of the fact that I hate the beads, it's just more convenient for everyday use. The question can only be answered depending on your personal situation. Both are amazing however.

Diezel Brother! 🤜🤛

Being open and honest. Even my reaction was "holy shit!" when I plugged this combination in first time, not something I'd explored. Appreciate you and your positive comment, glad you enjoyed it.

Absolutely, thank you for doing a great job showcasing the amp. The fact that you left the settings untouched for the ch 2 strat and lp sounds is really putting expensive thoughts into my head. I'll be back when you post more!

Never tried the D Moll, only had the Herbert Mk3 and this VH4. From what I understand they're all, fairly similar 😊

@@the-tone-zone I have not played the Herbert 3 but it seems like too much gain for me. I want to get my hands on the original Herbert 1

@@brencroll7858 thanks mate, guitar > axe fx 3 (for fx only) > VH4 > Captor Two Notes > DAW

Wouldn't be able to play their riffs, no reverend!!

@@bluesful 10 o'clock from memory.

@@the-tone-zone thanks mate.

@@berbadetteclement7446I assume they're universal as I keep my patches fairly simple.

@@renosaltiel4171 I think it's the reference of "moving air" that is tbe common phrase, but yes I agree with you.

@@the-tone-zone yeah thats what i meant. btw i love both, i have a dual recto and will buy a fractal next year

@renosaltiel4171 fractal is so convenient. But I still like all my tube amps being around!

and less high-mid，may be they can be same through different turning?

The TriAxis is a pre-amp, so it does the bulk of the tone shaping if the sound. Think of it like a distortion pedal on steroids, literally. The output is pretty harsh and scratchy, and isn't powerful enough to drive a cabinet. The 2:90 is a power amp, so it takes the output from a preamp or a distortion pedal and amplifies it to the point where it can power a cabinet. It adds a degree of saturation and distortion, but no where nead as much as a preamp. A guitar signal going in would come out crunchy even on full volume. The normal use is to amplify a preamp output to power a cab, while adding power amp saturation (essentially mimicking a tube amp head, which contains a preamp and power amp in one box). While you could plug a preamp into a tube amp head, and might want to do so to amplify it, you'd want to plug it into the effects loop to bypass the preamp in the head. Plugging a preamp into another preamp generally isn't going to let either preamp shine. A power amp doesn't have much use when paired with a tube amp head. The only use I could think of would be to take the preamp signal of the tube amp head, and run it into a power amp different to the one already inside the head for tonal reasons. One of the most useful aspects of a preamp today is the ability to run the output (usually line level) into a very accurate power amp/cab simulation, either in a DAW or as a pedal/rack unit. People often do that live and run the final signal into the PA. A preamp and power amp paired (into a cab) are the same in terms of what they do as a tube amp into a cab. Tonal shaping with distortion, amplification with tube saturation, and a speaker level output that powers a cabinet.

@@neonether glad you got something from it 😊

@@wolfgangfranken2041 Danke mein Bruder! Ich komme aus Australien!

👍😀 Thank you very much Brother.

@@bulletrider8893 I really like the VH4 more to be honest after having more time with it!

@@the-tone-zone I had a herbert mk3 and I didn't like it. But, I ordered vh4 without trying. I hope I like vh4. Thanks!

@@bulletrider8893 I found tbe herbert too one-dimensional, it's a cool hi Fi metal amp, but I get a sense of versatility from the VH4, not to mention the 800 crunch from channel 2, seriously DON'T sleep on that channel it's KILLER

@@dass101 good advice! I hear and read mixed advice re this. I read that these are generally dark amps hence presence and treble need to be given a crank to get them to a ball park, I guess that's half thr fun, experimenting. Trust me when I say I'm new to these and their layout. 😂

@@the-tone-zone Yes, indeed they are dark/mid heavy amps, but that's how they're supposed to sound :) IMO cranking the presence is not adding anything beneficial and takes away from their thick tone

@@the-tone-zoneyes, try this one: Channel 3 Gain 1 Volume 12 Treble 1 Middle 1 Bass 10-11 Master 11-12 Presence 10-11 Deep 10-11 Your Welcome 🐱🦦🐭⚡️🤘🏽

@@dass101 Tone is totally subjective. There is no wrong way to dial in an amp.

Quite a lot of high-gain amps don't have any NFB, like the Dual Recto on Modern Red for example. There's nothing wrong with running the presence this high.

@@aaronadie3449 all attenuated brother. I find that IRs get me to where I want to be these days without the bullshit of fiddling with mic placement in front of my cabs. Of course there's a digital element to it, but for convenience it's how I usually roll now.

@@the-tone-zone agreed dude! Saves a lot of mucking around. I was going to say it must've been loud in there if you were going through an actual cab haha! I have an SLO30 and after watching this, it makes me want to play it instantly!

@@aaronadie3449 man go and crank that little son of a bitch. They're amazing amps

Many different iterations - this on is an EL34. There is definitely an element of 'fart' as you mentioned. admittedly I have only had this thing for a couple of weeks - still figuring it out, I like it way more than the Herbert though for what its worth.

@@the-tone-zone Yeah, they changed quite a bit through the years. I really wanted to like it, since they are built extremely well and of very high-quality, but that doesn't help in the end. I'm still waiting for the JP-2C to arrive. I had one of the limited Version a few years ago, which i stupidly sold and since then they haven't been available. I almost ordered another Herbert MK3 out of despair 🤣, but i cancelled it.

@@ThyFinalPain my JP2C is a staple!

@@the-tone-zone Yeah, it's an awesome Amp!

Simply turn the bass and Deep control below 11-10 o'clock and the master control to 12 o'clock There is no „fart“

@@lepermessiyah5823 EBMM JP7 Stealth, mentioned in description 😁👍

@@the-tone-zone oh you mena that thing nobody reads lol.

@@lepermessiyah5823 that's the one 😂

@@ThyFinalPain I think the Herbert is a very dry amp with lots of low end. The JP2C wins due to versatility and also has a more complete overall tone, it's more defined if thsr makes sense. The Herbert is dry, it does the Diezel thing, but when dialled in the Diezel thing is just fantastic.

@@the-tone-zone Thanks a lot! 😉
