    Got my Diezel Herbert MK2. All I can say is WOW!

    I got one of each. A top condition German FL 2x12 that usually sits here in my house and I record with it, and a tatty old american RL 4x12 ex-hire one I got 2nd hand with a flight case too. That lives in the back of my van most of the time and is ready for practices and gigs and I care less...

    Synergy caps in 20th XTC

    They’re 20th Anni SoZo mustards I’d be finding to replace with Synergy Mustards. It was based on that thread I mentioned in the OP saying “I'd love to play a 20th with the newer Synergy caps - Reinhold, Charley & Jorg all say it is a noticeable difference. The 20th with older caps could sound...

    Synergy caps in 20th XTC

    Cheers! I don’t suppose anyone knows what values they’d be? I’m guessing Sod’s law states the values will be on the underside so I won’t know what they are to order until I’ve rendered the amp temporarily useless! Also is it obvious which ones are the current SoZo ones are and where they go?

    Synergy caps in 20th XTC

    I was pondering what was said in this post about the newer synergy caps vs older sozo... viewtopic.php?f=59&t=189268 Me being the perpetual tinkerer and rather handy with a soldering iron, I was wondering how many there are of what values, where I could buy some (preferably in Europe, but...

    Diezel Cabs - Speaker Connections

    I think they're soldered from what I remember with some decent quality speaker cable. This was in a second hand old US one I bought recently at least. Effort for speaker swaps? Well if you're going to all the effort of taking the back off and swapping speakers a few seconds of soldering isn't...

    Overdrive with Herbert?

    I've got a Chase Bliss Brothers. It's MIDI controllable too if you get their MIDI box. So I get my 3 Herbert channels, and while switching between them I can switch it in and out with different gains or types of drive that I've matched to the different channels better. Also all my amp only gain...

    Herbert for Bass guitar?

    I ended up playing bass for a bit in another band and I didn't have a bass amp. Used the Herbie. Even had another headlining band borrow it for their set and after their bassist was like "what bass amp is that? It sounds absolutely killer!". Also has the added bonus that when I wanted some dirt...

    Best replacement cab casters?

    Hi folks! Anyone got any recommendations for replacement cab casters? One of my originals broke, so I bought some off eBay that fitted and lasted a while but the centre of them is largely now destroyed (and they were a PITA as I couldn't get the non-proper ones on and off without mashing an...

    What era/country cab is this?

    I was too slow. Shortly after Peter posted it was gone. :aww: Oh well, I'll keep to my German 212FL for now! :thumbsup:

    What era/country cab is this?

    What era/country cab is this... https://flic.kr/p/FEN8fj Jacks in top right-hand corner. Looks like it might be German. But no silver piping on the removable FL grille... And the Jack plate looks squarer and with a different sticker to current German made cabs...

    Anyone tried a G12-K100 with a V30 in their 212FL

    Yeah, probably best to leave it alone by the sound of it. I have pondered a 412, but the 212 is so much easier to move. That is unless I save up for a 412 and keep it near my front door, with the 212 where my rig usually sits in the house. No way I'm getting a 412 up and down my stairs every...

    Diezel Schmidt compensated out

    Yep, always have a load on the main output. This means you can't record silently with it unfortunately. I believe shadow070 is correct and the master volume affects the level so you can't just turn it down to no volume and still record. I seem to remember someone saying it actually comes off a...

    Anyone tried a G12-K100 with a V30 in their 212FL

    Hello! Me forever daydreaming about guitar stuff has made me ponder if anyone has tried the K100 with V30 in their 212FL? Currently I have 2xV30s in there as it came. Generally I'm pretty happy but sometimes it can sound just a shade muddy with higher gain at higher volumes with my Herbert...

    Guitar nut gap sizes - tight or oversize?

    I've tried a similar method with little success. Also if I use a string that had a tendency to curve I probably won't get the highest part of the slot at the front edge the intonation could be out (or buzzy) on open strings.

    Guitar nut gap sizes - tight or oversize?

    Hello! I need to get some of my guitar nuts filed out slightly as I have some of my strings catching in them and have put heavier gauge strings (11-49) on than the factory 9-42. As a result my tuning isn't always very stable with lots of whammy bar use. I was pondering if I should file them out...

    VH4 VS. VH4!!

    I was just gonna say, I never have any trouble cutting through with my Herbert and all the knobs are roughly 12 o'clock. Then realised spguitar is correct... My mid cut is on about 10 o'clock! Sometimes my presence/deep creep a shade above noon, but generally I'm not sure what the EQ knobs are...

    Herbert Midi Store Issue

    Yeah I guess you could do it with digital pots, but then you have no idea what settings you just recalled so you'd be totally in the dark, else need led rings round each knob or a digital display like the triaxis to actually show the settings. Hence if it did it I think motorised pots would be...

    Channel Volume pot levels

    Where do you run your channel volume pots (in this case Herbert) relative to the master volume? The manual says the volume pot changes the loop level up to +10 dB. Will all standard stomp boxes take that? Or is there a lower level to send them maximum signal for best S-N ratio without...
