Once i did that, the Laney sounded godly. 10 band in the loop and it sounded mean as hell. I was running the B channel, brought up the effects level on the front to bring the eq boost into the mix. The tones i was getting made me contemplate starting starting a metal band in standard tuning lol m/ I will say this negative about the VH100R, it doesn't like 7 or 8 string guitars as much as my Mesa, my El Diablos (yes plural and yes I'm serious), my XXX, my 333XL my 5150 III 50 watt. All those amps give better response in lower registers to my ears. I had my mine fired up last night, volume @ about 75%, my Hotplate absorbing all at the second setting (16 db and the other knob turned to the left) and the VH100 sounded great as always. I also played through my Laney TT50C as well, she sounded great as well. Okay, the stock speaker is overly bright. I was thinking about her, there **should** be enough space for a 15" in that combo... thoughts/opinions?Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CaViTaTioN Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have no comments in regards to a speaker upgrade, but I will say my 10band is still set as it would be when connected to my Bugera 6262 (my turn to be serious It acts a resonance "boost" as that amp does not have a resonance control.
