I had a similar experience with the Tone Zone, it seemed to have an "oooouuuu" sound. The PAF pro had more of an "aaaahhhh" formant going on. I recently put a rebel yell bridge into my PRS CU24 with a 57/08 in the neck. The inbetween settings on the 5 way rotary switch had a strange formant...

I (have) own(ed) 3 of those 4 amplifiers, the Herbert Hagen and the VH4. My personal assessment has been that the Herbert's 2- channel is probably the most soulful of the crunch channels and has just a wall of sound from the higher gain settings, there is an undeniable "smile" factor to riffing...

Have you tried out the planet waves black ice line? It is similar to the tortex black feel but has a slightly smoother finish and release. They wear pretty quickly though, my initial dozen are all nubs now (I do pick rather hard and use standard tension on my strings give or take).

Agreed. The guys from Guitar Rez suggested I try one when I was considering a PRS with them and they didn't have a boogie mark IV to try it out with. Much less compressed than the Mark, much more playful and the vibrolux clean channel just killed me. It is so much more bubbly and lively than...

Hey all, I had ordered a full compliment of tubes for my herbert that was never installed. I got a hold of a VH4 and tried the EL34 BGs out and really enjoyed them. I had originally ordered the EL34s from Jens (who is no longer offering his tech services to Diezel customers), is there another...

There is a Mayones Regius 7 string in faded blue jean at rockbox that I am eyeing pretty heavily and almost put an order in for 2 days ago. I just can't get over that price tag, I haven't bought a new piece of equipment for that much....well ever. Granted the resale value is pretty up there...

Agreed I used a pair of blackdogs and PRS 57/08s through the Herb' and there are just so many shades with of gain that can be accessed with you pick attack and the control knobs. It really lets the personality of the amplifier shine if you don't slam the front end too hard as you were saying...

I've got a pair of BKP rebel yells in a custom baritone 7 ('hog body and rosewood neck) that sounds great through my Herbert albiet they are are a little too smooth and polite at times. I would think anything in the output range of the rebel yell or lower with a good mid/high emphasis and...

Totally tried these when I first got my Herbert and they were very extreme in some cases. I have no idea how you can roll the gain that high on some of the channel 2+ settings let alone the 3 settings. I think I was just overwhelmed with how saturated the amplifier can get and how bassy the...

Have you considered an Engl Invader? They are very heavy and complex in the mids, slightly darker because of the mids emphasis, have a great deal of articulation while remaining saturated and afford a lot of versatility because of the "hi/lo gain" option. I had one for a few months and...

I would beg to differ, the Herbert is quite compressed/saturated compared to something like a VHT or a Mark IV and is very very forgiving whenever you have the gain up past 40%. The cleans are beautiful in that amp and the second channel is like 2 or 3 amps all on its own when paired with the...

A Mesa Mark IV is pretty versatile in my book (don't ask I just don't like the Mark V at all). It has gorgeous clean tones a decent crunch and a very very defined lead/high gain channel. There are plenty of tone options to get you going towards what you might want. It is harder to hide behind...

The Nailbomb isn't a dark pickup by any means it just sounds huge (the "eq" chart on the website isn't the greatest indication of the actual sound) because of the bass frequency representation and mid spread. It has a great midrange response when overdriven and absolutely sweet when clean. It...

I have all the issues you mentioned including the garbled intro to the splash page.....time to ask someone who has a non-TM AXE FX II. If we did get refurbs I will be sorely disappointed. It's a great piece of equipment but i can't justify the price or owning it if it was inherently faulty...

Sorry about being an alarmist about this, turns out the bridge is spaced to 52mm not the pickup area so (minor miss-communication between Bern and myself) it would probably be 50mm after all. Honestly this is utterly utterly silly stuff and you should love and treasure that instrument. The...

Nope, it's going to be a hipshot just like yours. That is why I was curious. He originally listed the build coming with a tb-4 which is 53mm then he went back on that and says that it needs to be 52mm spacing which doesn't really exist. There is 49mm and 53mm, dimensionally the pickups are...

Hey man that thing looks great. The arching of the slant top is just so classy and comfortable looking. :rock: . I just picked up someone's abandoned slot for a black friday run guitar and was wondering if you could do a quick favor. Could you measure the string spacing at the bridge pickup...
