"Its vesatile and the clean channel is killer" Rob says.

Guitar World:

Basically it’s the same company as [VHT]. The only difference is the faceplate and the logo. I have been using the Pittbull Ultraleads since ’97 maybe. With Anthrax, on tour I was using Marshall 2000s, the DSLs, just because they were really easy to find anywhere in the world, and they are a really solid, consistent amp, but in the studio it was always the Pittbull Ultraleads for me. When we did the Big Four Tour with Anthrax, Steve [Fryette] sent me his new amp called the Sig:X. At the time it was his latest. That became my amp for that tour and I have been with it ever since. I love it. It's a more versatile amp. The Pittbull is a three-channel amp also but the clean channel is unusable - for me at least. The clean channel on the Sig:X is a lot more versatile. And the gain, it has all the crunch I need. It’s got that big, classic VHT/Steve Fryette sound. On the Sig:X it’s KT88s [valves].

At 6:23 in this Premier Guitar Rig Rundown of Volbeat hosted by Perry Bean, Rob Caggiano states that he previously used a VHT Pittbull Ultra Lead amplifier with Anthrax, but switched to the VHT Sig:X and later the Fryette version of the Sig:X due to it having a better clean tone and being more versatile than the Pittbull.
