Wish Ampeg VH140C

[BludgeonedGtr]

Man, it would be sick for us death metal heads if Fractal modeled this head! It’s solid state and the VH stands for variable harmonic, because of the rich solid state distortion it provides. It should in theory be easy to model because it is 100% solid state, but sounds absolutely amazing for 90s death metal tones (Dying Fetus, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, etc)

I gigged with a vh140c back in the 90’s. I’d love to see it added to the AxeFx!

Yesssss!! IMO it’s a classic inimitable sound that more than deserves a spot on the Fractal!

Is there anything in the Axe-FX 3 that get close to this tone? I would also love to see this added!

6505 is probably the closest. What people probably don’t think about is the mids. You need to scoop the heck out of them for these tones.

Dunno about death metal, but I really love guitar sound on Kamelot's One Cold Winter's Night dvd, it was probably this amp. Very juicy sound.

+1 on the block letter 5150 or the 6505+ lead

I'm about to sell this actual amp and found this thread. Anyone got something setup that's nailing this sound? Where is this 6505 amp? I am not seeing it in the picker. Sorry if this is a dumb question
