Ghost Note Audio Vader 140 Preamp (Ampeg VH140)

Description

This is the Ghost Note Audio Vader 140 Preamp which is based upon the fabled Ampeg VH140. One of the standout features of the VH-140C is its extreme gain capability. The gain on this amp can be dialed up to levels that border on insanity, delivering a wall of distortion that's perfect for churning out those crushing, heavy riffs that define death metal. The settings were as follows: Gain 11 O'Clock, Bass, Middle, Treble at Noon and the volume about 1 O'Clock. Presence switch was on and the Shift switch was engaged, this Shifts the centre frequency of the Mid band for a more "traditional" sounding tone circuit. You will need a Power Amp and your own impulse responses. I used the VHT 2902 (V6 P7 B10 Voicing 2) Power Amp which can be downloaded on Tonehunt, credit to the original poster, their stuff is superb. I recommend use a boost up front, tubescreamer or SD-1 style will suffice. The Normalizer off is far louder than when on.
