    What's the best amp?

    Best amp … I’ve been blessed to have owned most of the well regarded amps out there - at least for a few minutes. Like angelspade said above , there are a few special ones, I’ve had some of these and moved them on , it really comes down to personal taste. For me it’s how the amp inspires me...

    For the Eclipse today…

    It was incredible what light just a sliver of the sun gives.. less than 1% even... the amount of light completely changed when it reached 100%. The time of the total eclipse depended how close you were to the center of the path. I believe it was 4 mins in the center , 2.5 mins where we were...

    For the Eclipse today…

    We drove about 1.5 hrs south to Erieau Ontario on Lake Erie. One of the most amazing nature events I’ve seen. Was awestruck when it went total.

    Top 3 amps you have played

    Diezel VHX - The best all round amp I have ever owned. Owned and still own 3 other Diezels. Peter's voicing just does it for me - not too classic, not too modern - just right where I like it. I love the complex swirl in the distortion of his amps, how it just fills the room from high to low with...

    Thinking about getting my first Rectifier, I’m slightly confused.

    Seems most do like the mod. What about it didn't you like?

    Hermansson Rev F Triple Rectifier Playthrough

    Yeah - just it’s just the way it’s hitting my ears. Seems like a ton of pick noise and nice sub lows - not much else. Unique sound for sure - OP thanks for sharing

    Help with Diezel Schmidt reverb

    The Schmidt is a really special amp , between it the Matchless C30 I can't decide which one is my favorite cleans. That's how good it is. As for drive there's no contest. I really like through a Mesa Thiele cab with the EV12L. Have you checked the connections from the reverb tank to the amp...

    What's your favorite boost for your Diezel? What amp?

    Leo pointed out that the VHX, using Shape 0, has a single physical gain control early in the circuit, approximating the early gain control in the VH4 & Herbert MK1

    What's your favorite boost for your Diezel? What amp?

    Leo Thank you for the information! Some questions, points of clarification. 1) How are the Global Deep and Presence controls integrated ? If I set my Preset Deep at 1.0 and my Global Deep at 10 , is there that much extra range available in the analog part of the circuit? - so nothing...

    What's your favorite boost for your Diezel? What amp?

    Hey I have no horse in this race - just stating what I see and hear. Why are there no relays switching when the EQ deep / presence are adjusted? Also look at the internal design …

    What's your favorite boost for your Diezel? What amp?

    The VHX is different but still sounds good in it’s own way , it can morph towards sounding like the other amps but still has its own inherent sound as well. You could think of it like a switchable Diezel tube preamp + Digital filters/ EQ / FX + Diezel tube power amp. From what I see this is...
