    It´s not that the ventilation is bad on the head. If you take f.ex. Vox AC30 combo amp it got way worse ventilation, all closed in and driven like it was stolen. The V-Type on the other hand is open to the back and top. Anyone who has unplugged the fan?

    Ok, here is a dumb one. Is the fan necessary? Maybe if you are driving the input preamp hard and loud but if you´re just cruising?

    Ok, the gig is over and it´s save to say the V-Type performed like a champ. The DI had no issues or hizz/hum. Can´t believe my luck crossing path with this amp. But that´s no news to you bunch :)

    Ok, it must be on other thread or forum, I´ve been all over reading about the amp but someone was having none of the DI sound, had some issues with it.

    Has anyone tried the V-Type 4x12" cab with a Marshall gtr head? :D I got a head but the Marshall cab that goes with it blows. Going to try it.

    Yes, just a brain fart on my behalf. I haven´t tried it in anger but there´s a gig coming up this Saturday and I´m providing the back line for it and I´m curious to know how the DI performs. I´ve gone through 75% of this thread and there´s a different take on how good it is.... so yes, happy...

    Thanks for the info, I´ll check on the inside for the numbers. Was the Billington Gold 5660 tubes something that came as stock? I haven´t open it so I can´t tell what´s in the preamp stages.

    Hi guys, new to this forum and just wanted to share my love for the TE V-Type. I have one which I got yesterday. A friend of mine owns it and has had it for over 20 years. We have been playing for 2 years now and he had this thing behind a sofa, jamming with 60+ years old guys. I didn´t pay much...
