Members freehandarson Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 I don't have one, but it seems like the be all, end all amp for me. If it's their flagship, it's probably amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gibson5413 Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 I owned a VHT CLX for a while. Great amp and would pull the trigger on one again. I bought from Eddie's Guitars back in February of 2007 for $2,700. They have one in stock for $3,700. Wow, prices have certainly increased! I wouldn't pay that much for an amp again but it is easily one of the better amps I've owned in terms of tone and build quality. One of the buttons on the footswitch was faulty. I shipped it back to VHT and they fixed it no question asked. Great customer service! http://www.eddiesguitars.com/collections/vendors?q=VHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wizard of Ozz Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 All amps are "handbuilt" so I'm not sure what you mean by it??? I owned the UL which has the same preamp but with KT88s in the power section... I thought it was a very good amp, not a great amp. Not saturated/thick enough for my taste.

Members wolfspider Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nice amp if you like tight dry tone, but $4k is just too much IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xnickbeex Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 I always wanted to try one of these out...from the clips i've heard they sound super punchy and aggressive which i think is a sick feature to any amp for heavy music. 4 G's is a lot of cash, but i'm sure it's totally worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlb32 Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 I use to own a VHT 50CL with EQ. It was a decent amp and built well but I would have never paid anywhere close to $3800 for it. The tone is very dry on these amps. It wasn't really my thing. You have to really be into that type of tone to like VHT's/Fryette's IMO. I'm sure if you really wanted a new one you could find a much better price than MF's $3800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members starsnuffer Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 It's MF. Order that one and a regular non-master built and compare. Ship one or both back on MF's dime if you don't like em before 30 days. Give us a detailed review. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Inca Roads Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 if stiff, sterile, and dry are things you'er after, go for it. This is such Bull{censored}!!Sterile? What the {censored} is that?I own the Ultra Lead and it is far from this description.The amp Kills...Flat out!! Plenty of Gain, just not overly saturatedlike an Engl Powerball, Diezel Herbert, or Bogner Uberschall. But very tight,like a Diezel VH4, Splawn Quickrod, CAA OD100SE+. Can be dialed in for a very nice Brown tone (Early EVH) and with the use of the active EQ, can also get Brootalz!! This is a Musicians, Musician Professional Amplifier.

Members Say Ocean Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 Same here. I'd buy a new VH4 before paying $3800 for the Fryette. Those are completely, completely different amps, not even really worth comparing :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlb32 Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 Those are completely, completely different amps, not even really worth comparing :poke: Pricewise they are close and resale is no comparison. Those are some things to consider IMO. I doubt you will ever come close to getting your money back on a $3800 Fryette but a Diezel will hold it's value pretty well. Now if the $3800 Fryette is your dream tone and amp that's a different story and go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlb32 Posted May 26, 2009 Members Share Posted May 26, 2009 well musicains friend lets me buy it 300 bucks a month, no interest no credit card, so i buy gear through that often You have to have a MF credit card or something. I know what you are saying though. MF does have it's advantages like a great return time and policy and great no intrest paying but if you truely wanted that amp I'm sure you could find it for alot cheaper elsewhere.
