Unboxed the D-Moll yesterday and gave it a try today, wanted to share my first impressions with you guys, who have already experienced this "first time" before me.
First of all, the head is just visually a piece of art. I got the standard version with grey tolex which I prefered to the black (grey looked so sexy to me !!!)
My cab is the 2x12 RL with V30s (Diezel of course).
- Channel 3 considered the lead channel is very midrange-y and fluid, sustain is very good also. I really heard perfectly the melody of what I was playing. What I find very usefull is that you can hit the mid-cut and channel 3 gives a rythm sound perfect for fast riffs.
But I would recommend what Uncle Mo has always said, the best cab for Diezel metal players is the 4x12FL with G12K100.
I have tried it and I cannot get that tightness and powerfull low-mid response on the 7th string with my actual cab (2x12 RL with V30s). I will definitely get one of those to complete the sound range that I can have with RL V30.
- Channel 2: Dynamic (Dynamite I should say) and very Versatile.
Depending on how you set the gain knob and guitar volume knob and pick-up, you can have all the sounds from clean to heavy distortion on this channel. Add the mid-cut feature to this channel and a delay in the loop, this becomes a one channel amp with a sound of a 4 channels amp. Can you believe this ???
- Channel 1: The big surprise !
To me, this is where D-moll sets a new standard in the Guitar Amplification World. The best clean channel I have heard and played. A world-class break-up and very atmospheric (I don't know what it means, but I felt so...). Also very dynamic and reactive to your pick-ups and playing style.
I have never spent so much time on a clean channel. For sure my Chorus and EQ pedal will go back to their box, I don't need them anymore.
Conclusion after the first day:
I have a lot to discover yet on this amp but this is definitely an amp that you get if you look for versatility, no matter if you are a clean player or a hi-gainer.
It is crazy to say that on a first day with this amp, but I already know that this will not be my last Diezel amp...(dreaming of a VH4S)...
