I haven't got any recordings I can send you. I think the sound that Eurotubes Bob calls "full tilt boogie" is best captured on the Rolling Stones track "Midnight Rambler". To say that that is the only sound you can get from it, is to overlook a lot of other possibilities. And if tube rattle is an unavoidable consequence of the VT-22 design, why are there so many combo tube amps?

I understand the logic behind the critique, and I admit that there are more fans of the V-4 head than the VT-22 combo, but I get what I want out of my VT, and I ain't shy about sayin' so. I actually play my salvaged VT-40 more often, but thats because it has a Master Volume, not because it sounds better.
