I've got three Zilla Fatboys, one loaded with V30's at 8 ohms, one with V30's at 16 ohms and one with a V30/K100 combo at 16 ohms. The V30 cabs are noticeably brighter and clearer, but the V30/K100 cab is thicker and has more low end thump, but at the expense of sounding muddier. Neither...

I'm a big fan of X-pattern cabs. Had a Marshall 1960 that I swapped two of the T75's for V30's, which made it Uberkab specs. Had the cut of the V30's but the T75's mellowed out some of the harsh spike. One of my current Zilla's has a V30/K100 combo which works really well for low tunings...

Shame we didn't manage to get our camo'd rigs in the same room before you sold the Hagen, they'd have looked ace side by side.

I've got a dead "Master 2" LED on my Einstein and I already have a suitable blue LED to replace it, however I can't get it to come out of the front panel. Are they glued in, or just a mighty tight fit? I've even tried applying pressure from the outside and it still won't budge. Any suggestions?

If you like the Herbert profiles on the Kemper, you wait until you try the real thing! The Kemper profile is good, but the real amp is amazing. You play a KXK? I had a couple of those before the recession hit, probably the best guitars I've ever owned. Going back to the Einstein, I did the...

Cheers. I'm new here, but I've been a Diezel player for about 18 months now, even since I bought my Herbert.

Used, but barely so. The guy I bought it from bought it new, then used it long enough to get a band gig ready and do two gigs before he quit. It hadn't even been turned on in two years prior to me buying it. Spent its whole life in a live in flight case, so it's mint. My mate's having the case...

Thanks. I don't have a matching guitar, but I do have a matching Zilla Fatboy. Or rather I bought the Herbert with a bad recover while Zilla were building my cab, so got the head done to match.

My Herbert's gained a baby brother over the weekend. I've only been able to have it at low volumes, but it seems less scooped than the Herbert (not that the Herbie's a scooped amp) even at the same EQ settings/room volume. I'm really liking it and looking forward to cranking it with my band...

I've tried a few combo's in my Herbert, all Ruby EL34, Tung Sol 6L6 in the outer two pairs with Tung Sol 6550's in the middle, (outside>inside): Ruby EL34 - Tung Sol 6L6 - Tung Sol 6550 and finally my current setup of TAD EL34's in the outer two pairs with Tung Sol 6550's in the middle. That's...

Here's my Herbert. When I bought it about 18 months ago it had a badly done recover in cheap white vinyl and a nasty beige camo sticker over the grill. So I sent the shell off to Zilla cabs to be covered to match my Fatboy they were building for me at the time
