Well, shit. I love my Herbert, I really do, but god damn, I had to carry him out whole day today and my back doesn't like it at all. Is there anything like Hebrert but like, I dunno, lighter and similar sounding? D-moll?

DMoll is only 2 lbs lighter
Great amp though & definitely gets you in the Herbert ballpark

Sorry, D-Moll is 6 kg less.

Cheers,

I was going by M Friend info
DMoll could be the right amp for OP then

I always felt that the Herb DNA was due to 6 power tubes.

Hard to replicate that feel with a lunchbox.

I agree, I also got the impression that a lot of the Herbert magic happened in the power amp section, even more so than for the VH4. For instance, I think Peter once said that the ch1 preamp is identical in the Herbert and the VH4 and yet they do not sound the same.
