    Do you boost your Diezel ?

    Never on any of my amps.

    A question about the Herbert

    To adjust the humm-trimmer you need to have your amp on and on "run" with cab connected. Set the amp to the channel you have the most humm and start turning the trimmer to see the effect. Im rather sure cannot get rid of all humm, but there should be a clear effect to its amount in case this is...

    ohlms selection for vh4.

    To visualize, think the output connectors as "columns": 16 Ohm, 8 Ohms and 4 Ohms. If your Brunetti is 8 Ohm, plug it into 8 Ohm output (either one in the middle "column"). As 2 x 8 Ohm = 4 Ohm load, if you would have one 8 Ohm 'Brunet' and one 8 Ohm 'Blond' and you want to plug them in...

    A question about the Herbert

    Mine is as quiet as I would expect a high-gainer to be. Of course if gain is full on it starts to squeal like a pig, but that is normal and I never go there. However I have noticed that this amp causes quite a lot of "humm and brumm" interference if you bring the guitar very close to it. I...

    Diezel VH4S lost treble or highs...

    My amp is from 2006 and eventhough being darker than e.g. Mesa Mark V I had it definitely is not that dark as I understand from your description. Actually I think that my 2007 Herbert is darker than my 2006 VH4. Might be good idea to send Peter an e-mail and possibly schedule an appointment to...

    Two initial thoughs: 1. Ground loop 2. Tubes 1. can be found out by removing everything else from the signal chain except guitar and cab - As shadow070 stated. 2. is cured of course only by changing tubes.

    What did you guys pay for your Heads?

    Depends a lot what side of the globe you are. Diezels are not a bad investments though as they serve you well and they also keep their value well if you need to let it go upon some kind of force majeure (and soon the regret will hit you like a sledgehammer).

    Diezel VH4S lost treble or highs...

    Is the loss of treble/highs present on all channels or only with 3 & 4 and with high gain? Do you have anything connected to loops or before the amp input (other than cable and guitar of course)? Does the high and presence pots still have an impact to the tone if you turn them or are they...

    Diezel VH4S lost treble or highs...

    Current production leaves factory with KT77s, but earlier with EL34s and many years earlier with 6L6s. All do work so it is just a matter of personal taste + tube reliability. If I understood correctly, you have obtained yourself an used amp. If that's the case, I would start by retubing (pre &...

    Mixing closed/open back cabs question

    Interesting :confused: . And when used simultaneously, both of these 8ohm cabs are connected to the 4ohm outs of the amp (2x 8ohm = 4ohm load)?

    Mixing closed/open back cabs question

    What do you exactly mean by "lack of feedback response"? I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I am not a native English-speaker so the possibility of misunderstanding is evident. I assume your issue is due phase cancellation. However, this is not as direct as stating that "open back cab...

    Diezel Herbert 001/854

    Came here to check the posts about serial numbers and dates of Herbert, but search brought me a bit more than I was looking for... This very amp (001/854) is mine now. A warm thank you to Jukka for pleasant and fluent trade today. At the moment the plan is to use this powerhouse as a home...

    VH4 bright switches not working

    Just curious, are the switches themselves broken? I would expect your switches are OK, but something else is broken in the board.

    Mastodon + Diezel (& Randy Rhoads drum kit)

    Is there a mic on only one of the cabs or are the other mics bellow the edge of the picture?

    Question about cables

    This is one of the reasons why my setup is built so that my signal goes directly to my rack and never goes nor returns to my pedal board. Hence, rack wah and MIDI-controlled volume (VCA). You will get mad if you start analyzing this too deep, because you will start wondering what cables sound...

    Stereo with Herbert and VH4...thoughts and questions

    In my opinion, even better is to find the root cause and eliminate it. If not possible to cure any other way, then using line isolators such as Palmer or Ebtech is a cure. In addition these line isolators helps on finding the problem connections, but placed incorrectly they can affect one's...

    Stereo with Herbert and VH4...thoughts and questions

    Be aware that you will definitely face ground loop issues here. I have a stereo setup with VH4 and Mako with independent FX units for both except rack-Wah. I spent serious amount of time finding the source of ground loop and still it is a bit difficult situation as I have my setup built so...

    Suggestions on a midi-controlable effect processor

    Depends a lot on your needs and budget + do you accept used units. From my personal experience all of these are good in guitar use: Eventide Eclipse, Lexicon MPX G2, TC G-force and TC G-major 1&2. TC G-system I did not like, but many have good experiences with that as well. Eclipse is a bit...
