will it accept EL34's, 6L6's and EL84's without any mods? I know it's selfbiasing or something, but I thought pins needed matching or something, so did the EL34 fit right in without a mod or convertor or anything?
@mscarney302 Allright, thanks alot for the quick en kind response! And thanks again for the great video, allows me to somehowwhat hear the differences between EL34 and stock Special 6, and just the Special 6 in it's own right!
Just ordered a special 6 ultra and I am gonna make the swap u made!! That clean sounds truly amazing for $200 amp. I built my own cab with green backed celestions. Im sure it is gonna sound so good that I can sell my Marshall JCM 2000!!
Thanks for this video. I'm leaning towards the VHT special 6 combo. It seems to have the exact specs as the head. Have you tried to power let's say 4 x 12 or a 2 x 12
@Joseph1Krautheim The combo only comes in a 10in speaker and if i am not mistaken it will not except a EL34 or any other larger tube due to the lack of space. I have not tried this amp with a 2x12 or 4x12, but there are many other demos on youtube that have.
Thanks for these demos. I have a VHT Special 6, and I love it. I am however thinking of swapping the tubes, either for equivalent to the stock but a better brand, or some configuration like the one in the vid.
So, how would you characterize the overall difference between the stock AX7 + 6V6, and this config?
All I can say is wow. Your guitar playing is a cross between Eddie Van Halen and Jesus (if Jesus if was a rock star). For a second there when you were playing, I think you took the shape of a unicorn!
How about a KT66?

I'm considering buying this amp, can you get loud without while having a clean/crunch tone, or does it distort fast when you turn the volume up?

@Theonlyway2loose Yes you can get this amp loud and still keep it clean. My amp is for sale right now. Hit me up if you are interested.

@MrSkAtEfReAk12 It will take 6V6, 6L6, EL34 without any problems, its will not take a EL84 without a adapter which VHT sells for $20 bucks or so.

What kind of blues tone can you get with this amp? Can you get that Fender, SRV, Hendrix, Mayer sound with this amp paired with a Strat?

@clintmiller23 Yo yes, put a Strat and TB in front of it and you will find what your looking for.

You wont regret it. The best deal around. I put a green back in my cab and did not like it one bit with this head. Let me know how it works out.

Is it fairly easy to get access to the chassis in order to change the tubes? Thanks.

Is it possible to swap the 6v6 tubes for 6l6's?
