The channel selection (red or green) function on my 1998 Pittbull Forty-Five Combo's foot switch no longer works.

Interestingly, all the other switching functions, i.e., boost, effects and reverb,...

Update:

Just received the amp from the movers. Unpacked the amp and looked at the rear panel.
According to the printed input voltage specs, the amp can be operated at either 50 or 60Hz (200...

Much obliged for the info. I was hoping it might be something as simple as that. I would assume VHT used high quality voltage transformers with enough core material to operate safely at 50hz. In any...

Thanks for the reply.

I e-mailed the address above, and have yet to receive a response, so I am still open to suggestions.

Hey gang:

I moved from the U.S. to a 220V/50hz country, and I can't bring myself to part with one of my favorite amps, i.e., my ~20 year-old Pitbull 45.

What are my options?

Can I replace...

Thanks for that - I'll give your suggestion a try. :cool:

My workhorse Pitbull 45 is down again.

Any of you Portland, OR area VHT owners know if there's an authorized repair person in the area? I've given up on trying to contact VHT for a referrral as no...

These people built me an awesome ATA case for my Pitbull 45.

They smoked everyone else's price, too.

:mrgreen:

I'd like to have one like this sans skeleton. :smile:

Excellent idea.

I like Sonar's idea, i.e., "a nice black T-shirt with a large chest VHT logo with the word "AMPLIFICATION" under the logo."

Exactly what I envisioned.

I'd buy one. :)

It hit me like a ton of bricks the other day:

Why am I walking around wearing a Marshall t-shirt when VHT is practically the only amp I ever use?

Do VHT t-shirts exist?

How/where do I get...

Jeez, I can't think of anything.

My Pitbull 45 1x12 combo is such a lean, mean tone-producing machine that the mere thought of changing anything scares me! :grin:

Don't wanna mess with the...

Thanks!

The speaker in this amp is the Emminence 100 watt model.

Aside from that, I've never tried one of the standard combos, so I have no real basis for comparison.

Steve:

Thanks for taking the time to explain this stuff to those (like myself) who are slow to understand the technical stuff. I think I get it now! :)

At any rate, at the end of the day, I...

Thanks for the replies, guys.

Now, for the million dollar question:

Given the technicalities explained by Mr. Aiken, is the Pitbull 45 a true class A amp?

http://www.aikenamps.com/VoxAC30classA_2.html

He's arguing that the Vox AC-30 is not a true class A amp, and that, by extension, a lot of other amps that purport to be class A are really not.

Hey, thanks Scott!

I hadn't thought about the 'summer' vibe in that tune - maybe if I play it more often it will speed the arrival of some nicer weather. :)

(Can't blame a guy for wishful...

Thanks, Scott!

When I listen to this stuff now, all I can think about is how I could have done a better job of nailing the tones. I guess we're all our own worst critics, eh?

Anyway, I'm...

Hi Giga:

Kinda proves my point of the 45's having the best clean from the whole VHT line, or have you been able to play this style with other models too ?

Yes, the 45 definitely delivers the...

Thanks!

This forum rocks! :smile:

Gtr solo was done with a James Tyler Classic straight into the VHT with a little outboard compression and just a splash of 'verb (Lexicon MPX-1.)
