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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"d28dc320-8071-471a-84c8-3f16ffe2a715\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e* Ampeg is a registered Trademark of YAMAHA GUITAR GROUP, INC\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"shopify-section section\" id=\"shopify-section-template--22822566265124__rich_text_GNiW3X\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"isolate\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text content-container color-background-1 gradient rich-text--full-width content-container--full-width section-template--22822566265124__rich_text_GNiW3X-padding\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text__wrapper rich-text__wrapper--center page-width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text__blocks left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cascade=\"\" class=\"rich-text__text rte scroll-trigger animate--slide-in\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eAbout Preamplifiers\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a preamplifier, and not a distortion pedal.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe do not recommend connecting this device to the input of a normal guitar amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Ampeg, primarily known for their bass amps, decided to step into the guitar world with this amplifier, and what a statement it made. 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. It's the kind of distortion that can peel paint off walls and make your neighbors question their life choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"92893d1a-aee2-4082-b97f-6547c9d57a7d\"\u003eThe amp's tonal signature is often described as thick, saturated, and aggressive. It's not just about the gain, though; the VH-140C has a unique midrange character that cuts through the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"0db375e4-1d77-4308-ab49-150c9bd1e6a4\"\u003eWhile it found fame in death metal circles, its versatile nature made it suitable for a range of genres. From thrash metal to hard rock, the VH-140C proved itself as a versatile workhorse that could handle a variety of playing styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-guid=\"079b12af-3e29-43bf-9477-a1801d18570a\"\u003eAs with many iconic pieces of gear, the Ampeg VH-140C developed a cult following over the years. Despite being discontinued, it remains sought after in the second-hand market by guitarists eager to capture that classic death metal tone. The scarcity of these amps only adds to their allure, turning them into prized possessions for those lucky enough to own one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Bypass with Relay switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-touch footswitches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal voltage-boost mechanism ensures circuit runs at same voltage as the original amp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged 16 gauge (1.6mm)\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esteel\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eenclosure with textured\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epowder coat finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid aluminium knobs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9V DC, 170mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower connector\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1mm center-negative barrel jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145mm (W) 108mm (D) 61mm (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (with packaging)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 185mm (W) 130mm (D) 70mm (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Ghost Note Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61408506839370,"sku":"15852","price":2499.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/9910\/7402\/files\/ghost-note-audio-preamp-ghost-note-audio-vader-140-1229420647.jpg?v=1774547591","url":"https:\/\/tgt11.com\/en\/products\/ghost-note-audio-vader-140","provider":"These Go To 11","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
