Dude, if you can try one...I wanna hear some Hum on it....I think you will love it. Just stay away from that Burn button.....I haven't tried the Iconic but it seems like a cool amp...

Interesting array of amps you're choosing between. I assume you're in Europe, because those amps are all like $1000 apart on the used market in the USI am between this, an Einstein and a 5150 Iconic. Have you done the 5150 iconic in depth?
No, I live in Illinois/Missouri.Interesting array of amps you're choosing between. I assume you're in Europe, because those amps are all like $1000 apart on the used market in the US![]()
And they sound nothing a like....At allInteresting array of amps you're choosing between. I assume you're in Europe, because those amps are all like $1000 apart on the used market in the US![]()
Dude, I’m in Indiana, you want some of thatNo, I live in Illinois/Missouri.
Why would I want a bunch of amps that sound the same?And they sound nothing a like....At all
That's the point - how can you compare 3 different amps when they're not even comparable? Just based on used value alone, you could buy the Iconic and Einstein both for the price of the VH2. The Diezels share some similar DNA but are made for totally different things. Einstein vs VH2 would be a reasonable comparison, since they both share a similar "Diezel" voice, but throwing the Iconic into that equation doesn't even make senseWhy would I want a bunch of amps that sound the same?
Good thing tone is subjective, because I think the VH4 sounds better than Triple Recs, MC2s or Deliverances. Haven’t made my mind up on Peavey amps yet.no contest here. Peavey sound much better than Diezels
Last time we brought VH2 to recording session and it sounded just terrible beside the other amps. We had Triple rec, Wizard MC2 and VHT Deliverance and those sound much better. Not a fan at all, I had VH4, Einsteins, Lil Fokker and Hagen. Last one is most overpriced POS on market, hated it immediatelly![]()
Diezels are affordable in EU so there is not 'those are pricey, they have to sounds amazing' syndrome. Oposite of Mesa Boogie which are priced insane in Europe.
Herbert is only one I quite like.
I am looking at it for some OD tones. I don't give a shit about price.That's the point - how can you compare 3 different amps when they're not even comparable?

You will love the VHX, John. It nails all the Diezel tones.One day I'll try the Herbert but the main one that seems like a dream amp would be the VHX!
So in other words, we have to use the IR’s
for this amp to sound like that?
You mention (in a questionable tone)
you CUT something?
-Back up.
That something is likely why someone was bummed and sold that amp.
I dig the Tool, heavy metal Scuttle Buttin’ riff tho’
You ever wonder Jon that someday soon you’ll
be able to run a line out to your butt from your amplifier?
Butt-IR’s!!!!then out to the speakers!
I'll chime in. The cleans. The cleans are as good as a fender or vox. And the gain is as good as a Diezel.I love your videos on the VH2 @Guitarjon! I’ve watched them like ten times, haha.
I’m trying to decide myself right now whether I should get the VH2 or if I should go for the VH4.
What made you decide on the VH2, other than availability and affordability?
I'll chime in as well...I would defiantly miss Chan 4, it a great channel for rhythms and leads. I use it a lot for heavy riffing. The VH4 covers so much ground tonally it's amazing.I love your videos on the VH2 @Guitarjon! I’ve watched them like ten times, haha.
