Any good?

It sounds the part to my ears at least, the gain structure has that Diezel tone in spades with a hugely aggressive drive, clarity, depth and brutality. The EQ is nicely powerful, although it's not a hugely versatile sound - the gain character is just too distinctive and aggressive imo. That said, I don't think anyone's buying these to play cleans or jazz on so I doubt that'll be a problem!
I'll try it later with the HX, both into the front-end, 4CM, and also simply using the FX return and using the VH as a power amp. At present I'm just enjoying the LP straight into the amp and jamming along to T00L.
Huge caveat to all this: I've never played a VH4 in person (only an Einstein 50 in fact!), I just love the recorded tones of them plus the virtual/modelled versions that I've played through
*edit* though I can see some people wanting a noise-gate if you're not on the ball with palm muting etc.
Be interested to hear how the VH mini compares to the Mega model on Helix! I've never got on with it despite loving the tones other people get out of their Diezel, it just feels too dry and boxy.
@wiresdreamdisasters - aye I thought of you earlier, I'd love to hear it alongside the proper one through the same cabs etc and see how far off it is!
The big question now is whether we see similar offerings from Soldano*, Morgan or Tone King amps, though none of those already had pre-amp pedals like the first three, so I doubt we will any time soon.
*I think Soldano have already come out and said they’re not interested in creating one of these.

(I think there is a 5 week wait too)
Be patient and wait for one to come up used around £1500 ish.
Most high wattage tube heads are relatively underused.
I finally bought one last month and it didn't have mark on it.
