    James Hetfield and Diezel future?

    Depending on what technical base Hetfield's new amp is based upon, he could easiliy get a great clean sound from a modded Randall MTS module. However, Hetfield has not yet had his personal endorsed amp, has he? A Triaxis and a VH-4 seemed to be part of the game but he has used lots and lots of...

    Diezel Cab or Hagen?

    Ok. Has someone ever compared an Engl Pro Cab with V30s to a FL Diezel Cabinet. Is it really a big difference? I mean, the Engl cabs are really good, too. I would certainly keep the better of the Engl Cabs and go for a K100 cabinet first. That would should match the Herbet fine, while the...

    Herbert mk3

    Who knows... I am fine with a Hagen with 180 Watt and Mid Cut, too! ;-) ... the so called Hergen

    Herbert mk3

    Here's an idea for Herbert mk3: a. make Channel 2's -/+ modes switchable b. separate Gain Controls for -/+ ready! Done! The only tricky thing would be how to adjust the second Gain amount without modifying the existing housing. Push/Pull, Trimpot, Gain Offset on the back ... I know it can be...

    Diezel rack preamp?!

    But do you really want a single channel preamp? This means to get a switching system if you want more channels. A two channel version would be nice for an entry level price point. The real deal should have four channels and a matching power amp. At least, this is what I believe.

    Diezel rack preamp?!

    The profiler captures the complete signal path from Input, Preamp, Poweramp, Speaker and Mic. There can't be a Diezel presets. In fact, you can make as many as you want. And each will sound when you set the EQ differently, chose other speakers or Mic, even move the Mic.

    Diezel rack preamp?!

    I'd vote for the 4 channel design - let it be more expensive. However, I agree to the size aspect - no MAK-4 giant: 2U will be best. Randall's RM4 has 4 channels and houses probably more tubes than any competitor (11). So there should be enough space in the unit. Another big space saver would be...

    Diezel rack preamp?!

    I agree with the looper. Might be a little tricky with parallel and pre-input loops. Also, after the preamp, you would be going stereo which might be a problem with serial devices again. I think a Diezel preamp should be another milestone so I threw in what I like about other manufacturer's...

    Diezel rack preamp?!

    Let's give Papa some food. I am not the biggest expert in Diezels but have loads of preamps. Features could be... 4 Channels based on Hagen Add Herbert/Hagen switch for Ch. 1 Add switchable Attack and/or tight switch for Ch. 3 or 4 (for the Thrashers) Add global Bright switch (you never know...

    Poweramp Section

    Is there really no one else, having used other preamps with a Diezel poweramp section? Oops.

    Poweramp Section

    Ok. And soundwise? Would a Herbert power amp give me a more defined sound than Hagen or a cleaner sound than a VH-4 etc... Let's rephrase this topic. :D Who has good experience by using the power amps of a Diezel? If so, which combination have proved to be great. I remember a MAK-4 being fed...

    Poweramp Section

    Has anyone ever checked out the differences between the Diezel poweramps? I had the chance to run my Randall RM4 through the Hagen with amazing results (knowing that Hagen itself is a killer). Now, I wonder if there would be any significant differences between Hagen, VH4, Einstein or the Herbert...

    Hagen vs. Herbert Compare & Contrast - thanks for the advice

    So, could you try to a tonal description? How do the channels compare... Clean to Clean, Ch 2 - to Ch 2 of Hagen. Where are the advantages of having a Hagen when having a Herbert or vice versa. I know, it is a matter of taste. But in this case - when playing metal.

    Herbert Mid Cut Location

    I am new here. Can anyone let me know if Herbert's mid cut is located after the switchable return? I consider getting a Herbert to combine it with a second preamp. Guess, it would be great if the Mid Cut could do some extra voicing for all preamps.
