Yeah it sounds great. Like I always say, it seems that amp companies have unlearned how to make great SS amps these days.

It’s pretty much the only SS amp I still want. The VH140C is a monster amp. That was peak design from Ampeg/SLM.

Iirc correctly, ampeg had a patent on the underlying tech and were quite aggressive in defending it even long after they stopped producing it. It lapsed a few years ago, so I'm surprised that it's not come back into play. Granted the kids today will just buy a nano cortex and go straight to FOH along with the e-kit since it'll all be triggers anyway :lol:

Sounds pretty spot on man! I know the 90s “death metal” label gets applied to it. But it’s very 90s hardcore/thrash to my ears. Still a great vibe and tone.
