Well that's a pretty good setting!
I'd say that once you get used to the dynamic feeling you would reduce gain a bit as well, expecially at high volume.
EQ wise It seems perfect to my taste too, with that configuration I usually would run Bass to 0.65 with my guitars/cabs.
With the diezel CAB...
Trick with Diezel is to not tune it like other amps, expecially on the power amp section.
Try running both presence, deep and treble at half or lower and increase the mids.
For instance presence at half on Diezel is like presence at 3/4 on other amps.
It would take a bit of familiarity to get...
Yes, DSP is between preamp and poweramp and output tubes will be deactivated in cabless operation.
However the poweramp controls (Deep and Presence) will affect the IR output as well thanks to a mixed analog/digital design, so only power tubes and load (speaker) won't affect the IR ouput.
No, there's no need to match frequency, but make sure to check voltage output as sometimes converter push it too much, a customer had 255V out for example and amp was going in protection.
Yes it is, other then effects/IR it takes care of levels/filter adjustments, automatic popping tuner, spectrum analyzer... Features that VHX owners really loves and that contribute to make it the best Diezel ever!
Sure, it's true! Diezel openly was and still is against "improper" A/D converter. That's not the case with VHX, there's really nothing to worry about because levels and impedance are perfectly matched and studied for.
Also the conversion happens on the loop, that is already buffered and low...
Very nice clips! Thank you for posting them!
Please note that VHX Gain settings has an improoved taper response: the sweet spot found on all diezel amps from 0.55 to 0.65 is spreaded in 0.45 to 0.75 on VHX for better control of it, so VHX will have more gain at same knob position.
No there was...
Please have a look at page 6:

Send level is programmed by the channel volumes, while the effect volume is programmable with the control on the front of the amp called "Volume Parallel Loop" or "Mix".
Leo :)
Well it depends on the drummer and how much "clean" do you need.
In this case I'd say that Diezel's has enough presence to be used way lower volume than other amps, meaning that to hear it you don't need to push master so 20W with 2x12 could be enough!
