Heya. Thought you might get a kick out of this video I did: I go through some Axe FX III effects and different channel combinations and what not. Bit different to the usual YT amp review video.

Well... got the Mark V... it is siiiiccckkkk

Going through a thing now with my Diezel's.... where I'm just not quite enjoying them. I have the Hagen, D-Moll, and a 2001 VH4. I'm tending to prefer my Dual Rectifier, 6505+, and JVM at the moment. Getting a Mesa Mark V next week.... might flog the VH4..... not 100% sure.

I've got a D-Moll and 2001 VH4, and I've got a Hagen which I borrowed. There's a lot of overlap, and honestly, I don't think I really love any of them anymore. Once was a time where Diezel was the brand I'd go to, but ever since getting a 6505+, a Dual Rectifier, and a Satch JVM.... those...

My 2001 did always feel a bit undergained. I guess I know why now. My amp has some differences to the one in your video @hellzington but nothing too significant. These were my notes from when I discussed this with a mate when you put your video out. - Hollowed out logo. - Power switches. Mine...

Yeah, I think you're spot on actually. That is exactly what I hear. I wouldn't mind checking out a Rivera, but getting them in the UK... ehhh... very slim chance from what I can tell!

I'm sure I read an article once that said Joe Barresi has a particular Peavey amp he loves that he tries to use on everything. Might not be a 5150. Might be a Bandit for all I know. But the intro to Jambi for example, sounds very little like a VH4 to me. I've got a similar era VH4 and it sounds...

I'm pretty sure there is shit tons of 5150 on 10,000 Days. It isn't all VH4. At least I wouldn't be surprised.

I've got a Boo Instruments 808 clone, which is pretty sick to boost any high gain amp. I've also got the Boss SD1-waza. I'm looking at getting a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe as well.

Always had great turn around times for me, and extremely helpful.

Sounds great!

Tonocracy has just gone free, and has some capture tech built into it. It also supports NAM I believe. So might be a more user friendly way to capture your own amps?? You'd need to add an effects package though, because it doesn't really have good effects. I have a range of ToneX captures here...

Interesting. I've never read that to be honest. For me, my 2001 VH4 isn't "dark" as such. But the low-end is quite different to that of my JVM and Dual Rectifier, for example. Some of my friends have described it as being kind of like a fuzz pedal, and I sort of see where they're coming from...

Right... so for the clean channel. Not really relevant to "Joanz Toanz" in that case???? Channel 3 differences are what I'm most interested in tbh. No idea! I've already replaced the hum-pot with resistors, and I have replaced the midi chip and associated capacitors. I also did the...

I know my 2001 Silverface sounds markedly difference to the clips I've heard of the 2010+ Silverfaces. But from what I've read, the early 2000's Silverfaces aren't any different schematic-wise to the Blueface models. Would *love* to know if that is true though.

What are the actual differences at the schematic level between an early blueface, a 2001 silverface, and a current silverface?

It is what it is. In this shootout, I prefer Hagen, VH4, D-Moll.... But I've gigged the D-Moll so many times over the last 8 years or so, and I know I like. Genuinely think I just dialled it in a bit poorer than the others.

Monster combination tbh!

I did this recently: And I did this ages ago now:
