@fryette Amps …make the amp again!

@1LouderSound 2 года назад

@@FryetteAmps I started rockin’ 7-string guitars through a VHT GP3 Preamp and VHT power amp around 2002-2003? It was my live/touring rig for about 6 years. I got tons of compliments on my tone at every show. Most of the compliments came from people who hadn’t heard of VHT, but people would always tell me how huge and really clear my tone was. Unfortunately, I sold it about 11-12 years ago, but I am happily an owner of a SIG:X. By far the most versatile amp I’ve ever played/owned. I will never sell it!!! 🤘🏽 You should make the VHT GP3 Valvulator again though. Or make the SIG:X and Pitbull again with MIDI capability.

Fryette/VHT are the only amps I need to toss reverb onto the distortion channel. They force you to be a better player. Glorious tones from these amps. Great video John.

@Realoudamps 2 года назад

I remember going to see Unearth around 15 years ago and they were running VHTs and it was some of the most powerful live tone I’ve ever heard.. still think about it to this day.. dry and nasty

@drzskullblastbeatnik3270 2 года назад

I love how this amp has three glorious clean channels, with two that happen to have some amazing gain tones.

@mouseanalyse 2 года назад

Just had a look at the Sig:X manual about the clean tone because I was wondering if and why it didn’t have a Master Volume: „The most important thing to remember about this [clean] channel is to USE YOUR GUITAR VOLUME. This is an extremely dynamic channel. By setting the volume a little louder than needed and controlling the volume from your guitar you will be rewarded with a huge array of tonal textures and “in-between” tones that most players struggle to get with multiple amps and boost pedals.“ OK. This is interesting. Man that thing sounds great, just like the CL you had earlier.

@alxs4308 2 года назад

Since Helmet and Static-X VHT is my favorite metal sound. Would love to have the Pitbull ultra. This one right here is just incredible.

@retrocny5625 2 года назад

God everything from 17:00 minutes onward is the tone dreams are made of, at least mine. Good lord. So tight, so CLEAR and the high-end is very pleasing with all the bite you want without the harshness. On that little single note riff around 17:15, I just love that sort of "quacky" sounding attack when palm muting and down-picking those single notes aggressively. If an amp can give me that, I'm a happy guitarist. If you listen to pretty much any As I Lay Dying album, you can hear that same sort of thing in their tone and I've always loved it. Every note just pops out at you and it sounds phenomenal.

@incitatus634 2 года назад

Try an ENGL Invader 1 man, that shit boosted is just the fucking tightest amp with that quacky tone. I've tried more than 30 high gain amps (not VHT/Fryette stuff) and it's just the angriest and tightest monster ever.

@ayewhaddupdoe 2 года назад

@@incitatus634 Every engl I've played (owned a Savage II and an Invader) is just too compressed. Love the tonal character of the amps, just doesn't feel "alive" to me and puts a damper on my playing dynamics.

This is My first time seeing John let loose like that, specifically at the end, that was sick, really this entire video was refreshing in a way. John, you are by far my fave guitarist of all time

@steviesfv7782 2 года назад

Bought my Sig X in 2008. Never looked back. You won't put your guitar down. Use Fane Speakers, AEA R92 ribbon /Sennheiser e906. Captures all the rage your soul can muster.

@realtruenorth Год назад

Have you played an EV12"? Old school ? I am wondering how the Fane 70G's compare. The EV is one of the best speakers I have ever played but im really curious about the Fanes.

@steviesfv7782 Год назад

@@realtruenorth I got the Fane's since that what Steve Fryette loads his cabs with. He's got great ears and has been matching amp + speakers for 50 years. Fane's always been standard on Hiwatt cabs as well. Probably less breakup and speaker-compression than a Celestion. It brings those full-range power-chords out more. Use a Fane on my Demeter bass rig as well. Have a G&L 2500 5-string bass and it doesn't bottom-out into mush.

@wakjob961 2 года назад

No problem for the mighty John Browne...but...that clean channel is scarily clean. Nowhere to hide with any of these channels. VHT/FRYETTE amps always make me realize one thing. I should practice more.

@MrGul 2 года назад

This is the first time ever that I thought "I absolutely NEED that amp!" just from by watching a RU-vid demo. That amp is completely bonkers in the best way possible! It encapsules everything I want in a metal rhythm tone.

@piemanmusic 2 года назад

Fuck, John. I've been listening to monuments for years but only just stumbled on your RU-vid channel. This is just just like talking to my mates about gear. Your channel has gotten me so pumped about that endless pursuit of tone. Not the destination, but the journey right? Anyway, killer playing. Great demonstration of all these features. I played a VHT pitbull (can't remember which) in 2004 and thought it was one of the most interesting tones I found, but not versatile enough for the things I was playing at the time. I eventually bought a H&K triamp mk ii which I played in heaps of bands and shit loads of recordings for about 15 years. After watching your Pitbull demo and now this, I feel I need to find any VHT/Fryette I can get my hands on.

@coobanez777 2 года назад

@istvannagy9633 2 года назад

Great work in this video as well and a great amp for sure! It would be amazing to see a synergy module made about this amplifier(this model deserves it too),it's not easy to find it, especially in Europe,also I can bet a lot of us would like to see the Sig x compared to the fryette modules(the Ultra lead and the Deliverence) with the same kt88 power tubes,I'm sure that @John Browne could do more than a fair comparison video about that matter where we all can learn the difference in the tone about that beautiful products. @Fryette Amps,People would be more than happy to own another great module, I wanted to test the Sig x for years now,never found one where I could play it..

@spyicu 2 года назад

Even though I don’t have the actual amp, I always find mind favorite choice of amp on my AXE FX3 to be the fryette deliverance… it’s so in your face and aggressive. I love it! This video makes me want the real deal now 😣

@realtruenorth Год назад

The Fryette amp profiles on my Kemper just about smoke everything else with Mesa Boggies best stuff and Deizel close behind. ENGL Savage is pretty good also. I don't have an EVH stealth profile but in person that amp is also a beast of an amp.
