The long awaited and highly anticipated SIG:X Three Channel Tube Amplifier from VHT Amplification will begin arriving in stores in February. Described as “The best sounding (and feeling) amp I played at NAMM” by Matt Blackett of Guitar Player Magazine, the all new SIG:X (as in Your Signature Here), represents a new generation of VHT amplifiers.  
   
Overview

Feature packed, yet simple and intuitive to operate, the SIG:X produces an astonishing array of tones and textures never before attainable from any single amplifier. Incorporating proprietary VHT design technology, top notch components, precision engineered transformers and legendary VHT build quality, the SIG:X is absolutely without peer in the guitar amplifier industry.

Players reactions at its 2008 NAMM debut ranged from spontaneous giggling to slack-jawed amazement as they played and watched the SIG:X produce an incredible palette of clean sounds on all 3 channels, then gradually morph from bluesy grit to fat chunky rhythms sounds and finally into a fire-breathing gain machine – all on only one of its three channels, and using only a stock vintage style strat.
