So I've been enjoying my Diezel Herbert for the past year now, along with its matching Diezel 4x12 Rear Loaded.
If I could go back in time I would have gotten the FL with the G12 K100s but... Live and learn. Still love the Cab I have but I keep hearing how great the FLs are and especially with the Herbert. But I digress.
Last year I attempted a high gain tube amp head shootout down in OC (Orange County south of LA for you non-US readers).
Amps I tried in order of best to worst in my humble and very subjective opine:
2013 Orange County --->
* Diezel Herbert (heavily used and likely needing a retube. This amp won hands down and even drew a small crowd!)
* EVH 5150 III (I was amazed at how great this amp sounded, the gain and saturation were amazing!)
To be honest, the Marshall JVM, Mesa Mark V, Triple Rec and Dual Rec all left me flat and cold, just as the couple Bogners I tried. Although I was unable to test a Bogner Uberschall.
That said, now I'm living in LA again and there's a Schecter Hellwin around the corner, going to try it this week.
And there's a Soldano SLO-100 across the street from that, along with an Engl Powerball which I forgot to mention I played just before I moved in OC and it didn't "stack" up to the Diezel Herbert nor the EVH either (pun intended).
Granted, opinions are like you know what's, but with fresh ears and an admitted Diezel slant, I will report back on the Schecter Hellwin, the Soldano, and Im even going to the Engl North Hollywood Boutique this coming week to try other Engls besides the P-Ball 2.
I'm actually hoping something (besides say a Diezel Vh4 or Diezel Hagen) will come close to my Herbert or the EVH 5150 III but so far nothing's in the ball park.
DIEZEL UBER ALLES!!!
