Diezel Amplification

DIEZEL HERBERT AND VH4
"I've been using Diezel amps for over 6 years now. The sheer quality in sound, manufacturing and ease of use are simply amazing!!!!
The sound of my Diezel amps (I own a VH4 and a Herbert) are very rich and full of tone. Warm and clear clean, great crunch and really wide and punchy distortions.
The first Diezel I bought was the VH4. This 100 watt, 4 channel beast can do everything from blues, rock to extreme metal. I used this amp on every track of Stream of Passion's ‘The Flame Within' and I love the results!
Right after the recording of The Flame Within I went to my long-time boutique guitar and amplifier store ‘Guitar King' in Boekel in The Netherlands and tried the Diezel Herbert. I was simply blown away. This was the metal amp I was looking for all my life! Not as versatile as the VH4 but MAN, does this amp pack a punch! I have the gain set half way but it is enough to blow every other amp of the stage! It also has a mid cut function which can give it Dimebag Darrell kind of heaviness... Nice!
What I really like in my Diezel amps is the quality of the manufacturing. Peter Diezel really knows what he's doing. Only the best parts are used and the lay-out is very clear (this is very handy when biasing your tubes or something like that). You can use EL34 and 6L6 tubes in these babies... I have 6L6's in my VH4 and EL34 in my Herbert (6 of them!!!). Just change the tubes, flick a switch, a little biasing and you're set to go!
What I also look for in an amp is the ease of use. I can control my Diezels with a midi-controller (Rivera Headmaster) and switch between the channels (the VH4 has 4 channels, the Herbert has 3), the effect loops, effect inserts on every channel (VH4), mid cut (Herbert) and a second master switch for solo boosts (Herbert). I boost my solo's on the VH4 in another way. I use channel 3 for the distorted rhythm parts and channel 4 for my lead/solo parts. Channel 4 is set at a higher volume and with more mids which can really push my solo's out of the mix.
I mostly use the Herbert for metal like Stream of Passion and the VH4 for more rock related stuff. However, if I get the chance I take them both on stage to get a really killer sound! You should feel what I feel when I crank these babies up on stage together! Spine shaking loudness!!!"
