Description

Edit description

Based on the Ampeg* VH-140c.

Aggressive and focused. Another legendary circuit, the VH-140 utilized a novel gain stage design which was patented by Ampeg in the late 80's. Consisting of back-to-back zener clipping diodes, and a novel "dynamic bias" feature, the design produces an extremely hard clipping result, with lots of harmonics, and lots of gain.
