    Frontloaded 4x12 questions

    I found a great deal on a used Diezel 4x12fl and just pulled the trigger on it. It has the Eminence customs, but I think they're in an X pattern with V30's. Due to the speakers it comes with I gotta assume it's an old model 4x12fl, and I'm wondering whether the old ones were made in the US or...

    Herbert inherent distortion

    I bought my Herbert used last year, and immediately ran into tube issues. After getting these sorted out I realized something wasn't 100% kosher with it. There's an inherent harmonic distortion that's always there under whatever I play. On my gain channels this makes for an upper mid-range...

    Why no blueface Herbert!?

    I absolutely adore the look of the blueface Vh4, which is funny because I'm not too fond of the look of it in silver. I think that Herbie is an incredibly handsome amp and would love to have one with a blue anodized face plate :rock: :rock: :rock: Why hasn't this happened yet Papa?

    Herbie sounding harsh!? help me out!

    I recently retubed my Herbert's preamp with the Ruby Diezel stock in v1 and their hg+ in v2, but instead of going the full Ruby route I threw Tung-Sol reissues in v3-6. There's a certain upper midrange kerrang that I can't dial out, and overall makes for a harsh tone when I mic it up :doh: I...

    Herbert preamp tubes

    When I first bought my Herbert it came with 9th gen Chinese in the preamp, but they'd apparently been in for awhile, because I started getting microphonics. I swapped em out for JJ 12ax7's (all i could find besides Mesa in my area :doh:) but I absolutely hate them, super fizzy and muddy too...

    Diezel Cab is Killer!

    I recently bought a used Diezel 4x12 rearloaded with the Eminence Diezel Custom speakers, and was really dissatisfied with the tone. So I ordered 4 Tone Tubby Ceramic 40/40's and swapped em in! :rock: Bottom end still sounded a little muffled, so I removed the padding from the back, and this is...

    Diezel Herbert preamp ch.3

    I have had trouble getting a tone I like out of Herbert ch.3 as there is just too much compression and high end sizzle. :doh: If I were to replace the v3 preamp tube with a 12at7 would that lower the gain and reduce compression some? :confused:

    GAS Cured

    Hey guys, I just recently acquired a Herbert Mk II, and I'm blown away! This is the tone I've been looking for! I sold my old Dual Recto and my JVM-410H, and I'm just keeping my Mesa Mark V as a back up. Before I bought Herbert, I had read that some people have issues with it cutting through the...

    Herbert Fx Loop LED

    Hey, I'm new to the forum and I just recently purchased a Diezel Herbert. It's amazing, except that my Fx loop light appears to be burned out. Are there any online stores I could order replacement LED's from? And how would I go about replacing the bulb? Thanks - Eric
