Hi Matrix sounds amazing . ..just to clarify...i can run a guitars effects unit such as a Boss ME-80 , or pedals such as an evh 5150 straight into the VB800 into a marshall 4 x 12 with nothing else needed ?
Hi- sounds great! I use a Kemper too- would plugging into the effex return only essentially be a flat response power amp? So then I could either have an old school guitar amp / pedal set-up plus a power amp to run a Kemper when req'd...without the backache!!!
what about the clean tone? I mean I often use a fender twin with pedals which is a back breaker ( use it for recording now) so I got a Orange crush pro which is nice for gigging and light weight and has an extra cab extention etc..And now I see this and it looks like it would fit in a napsack lol. 400 watts? This is more than enough to knock the head off of anyone in the front row but.... Can you do a demo of the clean tone? I mean sure I like drive but Im a clean, to a clean break up, to a crunch to a heavy drive guy..In other words how is the clean? So tube amp sounds apeal to me on the clean sound. Please demo a clean?
It depends on the Ohms rating of your cab. The amp is 400w at 4 Ohms, or 200w at 8 Ohms or 100w at 16 Ohms. It your cab is 16 Ohms, then you are fine; if your cab is 8 Ohms you are fine too but don't crank the amp more than half way. If the cab is 4 Ohms, it is fine too but don't crank the amp past about 1/4 of the way up.
Hi Steven thanks for the comment! Check out the other vids on our youtube channel and head to our facebook at facebook.com/MatrixAmplification for more VB800 tones!

I'm waiting for the answer.
Of course!!! Its a head...full analog with fx loop. Treat it EXACTLY as you would a 100w JCM800 Marshall. Probably sounds great with Greenbacks.
This hybrid just smoked about a baker's dozen of tube amps. I'm savin' my beer $

Please forgive the ignorance but I didnt understand the micing. I didnt see any mic. Was there only a room mic and was the cab not miked?
The camera ...
can i use this with a 120 watt 212 even if its 400 watts? im just not sure how the hybrid works
It depends on the Ohms rating of your cab. The amp is 400w at 4 Ohms, or 200w at 8 Ohms or 100w at 16 Ohms.

Do you suppose it could run 2 412s?
Why would it not?
Seems that this amp is great for someone stuck in the 80's. Great sounding amp, though.

VB800= "VERY BIRTISH 800". Lol
Dude you need to preview your vids before uploading em'. For the first 5 minutes while you were talking there was no sound!
+deltafit ? Previewed quite a few times actually. Sound is ok from our end. Was your volume turned up?
+MatrixGuitarAmp Yeah mate, defo had volume up. Tried again and it's just white noise/interference while you are talking
+deltafit His sound is only in the left speaker, so you must have only the right.
