    Diezel Herbert preamp ch.3

    And in case you have an older revision Herbert there might be possibility to reduce the compression and fizz by updating the guts a bit. But for this you must contact Master himself. Mine, which is from 2007, visited papa's hut some two weeks ago due to repair work and he did the modification...

    Diezel Herbert preamp ch.3

    Yep, as stated, lower gain and presence. Try different settings with treble and presence (lower another and increase another). + Some other areas to consider: At what volumes you play (bedroom Vs. with band)? How are your Ch & Master volumes set. Extremely damped power amps tend to sound overly...

    DIEZEL HERBERT VS VH-4

    Both amps do wonders to your tone and are extremely versatile so you shoud not be dissapointed with either. As a owner of both of these amps, the absolutely only solution I would recommend to you is to take your own guitar (= you should know how it sounds with other amps in comparison) and go to...

    Help with MIDI Please

    I apologize if someone has been feeling offended due to my comment of "marketing hype". Possibly this is a desired feature that I just am not able to appreciate due to never having any issues. And as stated, this is definitely not the essential point of the chip itself, but instead to add the...

    Help with MIDI Please

    "The chip also gives you better internal code, from what I understand. Meaning you won't get mistakes or miscommunication when sending multiple messages via midi." In my opinion the above is marketing hype. Never ever have I had any single issue with either of my amps (VH4 from 2005 and Herbert...

    Help with MIDI Please

    If the Randall RF4 is not sending different MIDI Program Change -messages when you are hitting the button 1/2/3/4 first and second time it will not work the way I suppose you wish it would work. Without any modification VH4 only responts to MIDI PC -messages. In other words you would need to...

    Diezel Herbert for sale (one of the first pieces)!

    Hmm... I wonder will you be as happy with the newer ones? Often there are some very special tonal characteristics in the protypes and other "first round" units which some people just love and are sometimes dissapointed with later production models - Though I have no idea whats the case with this...

    Better clean on VH4 Chanel 1

    Do you mean headroom = not enough volume or Clean headroom = does not stay clean and starts clipping I have never had any issues with the first and if the later is tha case here you might have too hot signal before the Ch1 input (pickups, pedals, etc.).

    Diezel VH4 changes over the years

    I own a '06 and cannot imagine any way to improve the tone.

    VH 4 Help

    As a reference to volume levels, I tested once at our band rehearsals my friend's two Orange 1x12" (V30) cabs and the volume needed to be heard enough over drums & full metal band was approximately 11.00 o'clock. I also found these cabs to be rather dark sounding which created a need to push...

    Question for Peter about Ruby preamp tubes

    Well, Im not actually sure do they also offer rebranded JJ nowadays. I made some googling and in addition to Slovek tubes, there are also some that look more or less Russians as well. But what is sure is that they are not own production, but so-called selected tubes. And again, not saying they...

    biasing

    Correct elfredoo. On amps you do not have bias trimmer, one should select a set of tubes that get you close or far enough and change the resistor. I would describe bias trimmer to be more-or-less equivalent to "adjustable resistor".

    Question for Peter about Ruby preamp tubes

    Im pretty sure Ruby's are chinese. Rebranded/-labeled chinese...some call selected. And Im not saying they are bad - I am not a racist.

    Herbert cutting out when I turn ART SLA2 on...? -solved-

    "Stereo sends to ART" = the stereo output(s) of GMaj2 or serial send of Herbert? :confused:

    Got a shipment of the new EL34BG

    No thanks as they would need to be shipped overseas. I was just curious to test them as it was time to do some retubing. Thanks for the info though.

    The most versatile Diezel

    All of them or none of them. My vote would go to VH4, but the only correct recommendation would be to go to do some test-drive with all of them. I prefer VH4 especially due to its versatility. Maybe other Diezel's may have better loop options (e.g. switchable serial loop), but tonally this is...

    Got a shipment of the new EL34BG

    Maybe I'll comment here as well so not to cause any confusion with my above posts. I never got the BeeGees as there was serious delivery issues from the suppliers side. Instead Peter sent me a set of KT77s which apparently are the current choice of him.
