| VHT is a name with a history of quality. First introduced to the world almost 20 years ago, VHT has become synonymous with excellent tone and boutique style. When we began to add more variety to the VHT sound palette, we knew that people wouldn't be satisfied with standard run-of-the-mill designs or mediocre quality. We wanted to create amplifiers that were truly capable of enhancing players' creativity by offering versatile, expressive products that are useful and great sounding for any style of music. We did our initial R & D by researching classic American tube amplifier designs, from companies like K&F, Fender, Gibson, and Magnatone and then went on to explore some of the classic designs by Vox, Hiwatt and Marshall. Inspired by some of the most historic and sought-after amp tones on the planet, the VHT engineering team worked tirelessly to design and assemble what we believe to be some of the best tube amplifiers available.
We began developing the new VHT sound with full understanding that to build the best amps we needed to begin with components that worked exceptionally well together. Our VHT designers focused on outfitting our amps with only carefully selected quality parts. Our top-of-the-line handwired tube amplifiers are assembled in our design workshop in Brisbane, CA, USA, just south of San Francisco. Once we've put them together with our own hands, each amp is subjected to extensive testing and examination, to make sure only the finest VHT products make their way to you. At VHT we take tone very seriously. This isn't a hobby, this isn't a job; it's more like a calling, or an obsession with making amazing tone available to everyone.
