I picked this up really on a whim. Usually I research for months/hours of clips, forums, reviews etc, but I only knew that this was a popular amp for metal styles and a few minutes I spent playing a VHT Pittbull 50/ST in a guitar center about 5 years ago.
Well I am sure glad I did, because this is a fantastic amplifier. Somewhat unique to Pittbulls, this one is optioned with tube powered spring reverb, and no graphic EQ. I’m sure the graphic EQ is great to have, but I love the ambience the reverb adds with its relatively short tail, and I can always add an EQ to the FX loop later. Also a very cool feature is the switchable 5U4 tube rectifier, which can be set to both channels, or none, or only on Red but not Green (my preferred setting).
Both channels can be set exactly the same, which I really like as I can dial in two high gain tones, or two crunch tones, or clean/high gain or anything in between.
