  • Diezel VH4
    « First Impressions »

    After a few hours with this amp, here are my initial impressions: The Diezel VH-4 is a versatile rock music beast. The VH-4 has 4 completely independent channels, 100W of power with 4 power tubes, lots of effects loop routing options, and it is midi controlled. Did I mention beast? This thing is large and heavy! It barely fits on top of my speaker cabinet, and sitting next to my Mesa Rectifier, it makes the Mesa look like a child's toy. UTILIZATION Dialing in a great sound couldn't be easier. Each of the four channels has the same controls (Gain, Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass), and it is easily identifiable on the amp. The knob settings are easy to see from a distance, unlike Mesa Boogie amplifiers. There are also master presence and bass controls, which are located far from the individual channel controls, so it's easy to see what going on. The VH-4 is midi programmable, which seems a bit odd, given that it's not like a Line 6 amp, where all of the tone controls can be programmed. Rather, you can program which channel to use, and which fx loops should be opened, and if the mute is on or not. If you already have a MIDI setup, this is convenient, but if you're simply switching between four channels, the additional MIDI flexibility and programming seems odd, especially with the "store" button on the front of the amp. SOUNDS The VH-4 produces some of the best heavy tones I have ever heard straight from a guitar amplifier and cabinet. Everyone raves about channel 3, the basic rhythm heavy channel. I love it as well: The tone is nice and full, and the clarity of the notes of thicker chords is remarkable. The gain can range from barely distorted to death metal. The mid and bass controls sound good no matter what they're set to, even at the extremes. I am particularly impressed with how musical the mid knob sweeps. The treble sounds a bit lacking when it is set to the extreme low, but at the high, it does not pierce my ears at all. The overall vibe of the tone is a tad harsher than my Mesa Rectifier, but it more than makes up for it with clarity, lack of fuzz, lack of mid-range mud, and brassy sounding tones. To me, nothing beats a heavy tone that has clarity, and it's hard to beat channel 3 on this thing. The other main channel I would use is channel 1, the clean. It has great headroom, but it can be pushed when the gain is turned past halfway. Sometimes, the breakup of the tone when pushed sounds crackly, but when done correctly it sounds fine. There is also a bright switch, which sounds great with super cleans. Channel 2 is just like a lighter gain channel 3, as it sounds more like classical rock and Marshall tones can be made here. But if the gain and tone knows are adjusted just so, it can sound identical to channel 3. Channel 4 is just like channel 3, only a lot more gain and compression. This would be the lead or heavy metal channel, but I generally find it too heavy for my tastes. But it has the same distorted clarity, and the gain here can sound monstrous. If I needed to do leads, I would stick with channel 3 and just use a overdrive pedal in addition. OVERALL OPINION If you have a chance to try out this very expensive amplifier, don't pass it up. This amp is in a class of it's own, when it can leave an industry standard like Mesa in the dust, in terms of tone. I generally try not to get caught up with little details in guitar tone that regular people would not understand, as I would be the first to admit that guitarists sometimes take their "perfect" tones too far. But after playing through this amps for a few hours, and then playing through a Mesa, it seems like night and day. Just playing through the Diezel VH-4 to get inspired can be enough to justify its cost.

  • Diezel Herbert
    « one of the best portable amps out »

    I have used the Diezel Herbert to pump up the volume of my acoustic when I play in church. I blow the roof off of the place (actually I fill the space up very nicely) with this . I love the fact that the batteries last for hours and hours. I own two other small amps and never touch them that much because of the sound of this one. UTILIZATION At first doubted the power i would get from it, but plugging my guitar in, i made the mistake and turning it all the way up. LOUD!!! The effects are really helpful, and so is the tuning fork. Very useful if you need to travel, or even for just home use. batter power is great as well. SOUNDS I would give this a higher than perfect score if i could. when i was thinking about buying this, the main worry i had was volume. it says 2 watts and is pretty tiny (and awesome!). But when i opened the thing up and turned it on the classic stack setting thats modeled after the Marshall amps, my mom kept yelling at me to turn it down, now i can't even play it at quarter volume without getting yelled at. Its very loud. also, its battery powered which makes it so much easier. you don't have to plug it in every time you want to rock out. Plus you don't have to worry about finding an outlet every time you have a gig, just plug in your guitar and play. OVERALL OPINION The thing i love most about this thing is that it's small. all my friends are lugging around huge marshall and fender amps and i have this tiny little amp that's almost as loud. I recommend this amp to anyone that’s on the run or the go and wants to continue playing.

  • Diezel Einstein Combo
    « Not only a Metal Monster... »

    The Diezel Einsten is available as a 50W or 100W all tube head, or as a 50W combo. All units are hand made in Germany. It is a 2 channel amp with independent EQ for each channel Also equipped with 2 loops: a parallel and Serial and can take a wide variety of power amp tubes: EL34, 6550, and has external bias points. Mine is equipped with Ruby El34BHT (stock tubes) Channel 1 has three independent modes that share the same EQ: Clean, Crunch and Mega. And channel 2 is the Lead channel. Both voiced specifically for their purpose Controls: Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Presence and Depth and Dual Master Volumes (Footswitchable). No MIDI. The back of the amp has inputs for 4, 8 and 16 Ohm loads, as well as the Send and Returns for both effects loops and the footswitch UTILIZATION Very easy amplifier to set up and dial in the sounds. Sounds very good with all knobs at 12' Oclock. The construction is top notch, the attention to detail is spectacular. The customer support from Diezel is first class, although I have never had a single issue with the amp. The amplifier is easy to service and change tubes due to the external bias points, which avoids having to send the amp to a qualified tech every time you want to change something. SOUNDS The amp is not only a metal monster as one might expect. It is the most vintage voiced of all the Diezel line, with the exception of the Schmidt. Channel 1 Mode 1 (Clean): The clean channel is really good for a high gain amp. It is a very neutral sounding clean. Goes from very clean to slight breakup, depending of course on the guitar and nature of the pickups. Channel 1 Mode 2 (Texas): This channel can do everything and might be the flagship of the amplifier. It goes from clean with the volume rolled off in the guitar to JCM800 type Marshall tones. Hit it with a clean boost and you have enough gain for almost any application. Very british in nature, lots of note articulation and definition. Channel 1 Mode 3 (Mega): Best suited for high gain rhythm playing. Can cope with detuned riffs easily and has a unique voicing that gives the Diezel trademark sound. The low end stays very tight. Can be used for soloing although it is not quite liquid. Has enough gain for any style including the heaviest of modern metal music. Channel 2: Very liquid distortion better suited for soloing, has more gain than the Mega mode in the first channel. Lots of harmonics and definition. Excellent for what it is meant OVERALL OPINION My only complaint is that the modes on the first channel are not footswitchable and that the amplifier is not MIDI equipped. Having said that the Diezel Einstein is a precision built quality amplifier that should last a lifetime. I would buy the amp once again with no hesitation .
