    Anyone tried Celestion Hempbacks with their Diezel?

    As per the title... I've got 3 Diezel cabs: a German 212 Front Loaded w/V30s, a German 212 Rear Loaded with Tone Tubby Hempcones (I presume the 4040s), and an old tatty ex-rental US-made 412 Rear Loaded with V30s. The 4x12 often seems a little bit pokey and harsh compared to the other 2 (even...

    Collection of all kind of Diezel modifications

    Or you could do it once. Then do a demo video so we can all geek out and directly compare the tonal difference of modded vs unmodded in an identical setup. Then either do the other one, or put the first one back based on your taste. :LOL:

    What are your favorite pickups to use with Diezel amps?

    Interesting to see a couple of mentions of BKP Rebel Yells. My 2 most played guitars recently have BKP Nailbombs in the bridge (the alnico rather than ceramic variant). I love them with my Diezels, but have been very tempted to try Rebel Yells next time. What guitars are you using them in? I...

    Help with VHX midi

    You may be better off asking at the morningstar forum if you haven't already. If you're lucky hopefully someone here will have both. Then you're definitely in the right place! But if not, going to the controller forum is the best bet. I don't have a VHX, but like almost all MIDI effects things...

    What's your favorite boost for your Diezel? What amp?

    I only ever use a boost with my mid gain channel to add more flavours, not the full heavy sound. Currently using a Chase Bliss Brothers as it's MIDI controlled and got more options, but in terms of instant gratification, set and forget with very little knob fiddling I can't get away from my...

    MIDI switching reliability?

    Hi all, How reliable is your MIDI switching? Is it totally 100% rock solid for you? I use an RJM PBC, and did use an RJM Mastermind LT. I often find that at least once about every maybe 5 hours I'll get at least one time my Hagen doesn't switch patch. I'm saying that because it averages about...

    MIDI In vs Columbus input?

    Hi folks. My MIDI jack doesn't feel the most "tight" on my Hagen (or Herbert for that matter). Obvs had years of use being plugged and unplugged all the time. Last night at practice MIDI didn't seem to work, I went wiggling, didn't find anything wrong or loose, then it seemed to work fine. So...

    Anyone here also played a Diezel? Looking for another amp to blend with my VHX…

    BTW I reckon my Bogner can actually get me closer to the older Tool sound (and a lovely Jerry Cantrell kinda sound). If I'm live mono it's normally just the Diezel though for me. But I reckon Adam Jones live 2 Diezel VH4s (one an old Blueface) + Vintage Marshall bass head is a similar enough...

    Anyone here also played a Diezel? Looking for another amp to blend with my VHX…

    My XTC 20thA sounds lovely with my Hagen or Herbert

    What ohms is this cabinet?

    Some are 8, some are 16, so can't say either way.

    Audio phase per channel for Hagen and Herbert Mk2?

    Was going to be trying to run 2 amps at once and obvs a lot of multichannel amps change output phase on different channels from what I hear. No one normally cares, but if you're running 2 amps at the same time it matters. I can program phase flips to one of the amps per preset on my RJM PBC so...

    What are your favorite Bogner amps?

    My favourite Bogner is my Ecstasy 20th Ani with EL34s. I’ve never played any other Bogners so can’t comment on those!

    Stereo FX in the loop of 2 amps - ground loops?

    Yeah. I just had another idea. Got a multimeter and there’s basically no isolation between the jack grounds on the strymon. So definitely a possibility of a ground loop. I might make up some cables with a floating ground for the right hand amp and see how that works. If not, then look at some...

    Stereo FX in the loop of 2 amps - ground loops?

    That’d work in front (which I already fixed with an RJM PBC), but won’t take 2 different amps fx sends to 2 pedal inputs (or the returns) will it?

    Stereo FX in the loop of 2 amps - ground loops?

    Hi all. I’ve got 2 amps (Diezel Hagen and Bogner XTC) and was planning on using both of them live, normally I’m one or the other. If I run both at once I have to put an iso transformer in the input of one, else get horrible ground loop hum. So that’s sorted. But if I run out one amps mono fx...

    Diezel 4x12 replacement casters and mounting plates?

    I’d like to know this too. One of the spring bits on one of my cabs broke so the caster slides out when I’m not paying attention and it attempts to topple my rig! 😝

    Random cab centre post question

    On a roughly related note: anyone know who makes these cabs removable castors? One of my little spring bits is bust so the castor slides out and falls off. (Re: my first question: After more picture digging I found it seems the vast majority of cab makers don’t have a rear screw to the centre...

    Random cab centre post question

    Just had my old (USA made?) 412RL cab open and was pondering the centre post in it. Obvs it's screwed (or glued) to the middle of the front baffle, but nothing connects it to the back. I've seen similar in other cabs (I think like my old Marshall one). Is there a good reason it doesn't have a...

    What speakers do you like with your Diezel?

    Ah-ha! Is it the Tone Tubby Ceramic 4040 in my Diezel "Hemp Cone" cab then? I knew they were Tone Tubbies, but didn't know exactly which ones. So to add, I went from my old Marshall G12T-75 cab to a Diezel V30 frontload 2x12. That was my main cab with my Herbert for a good long while. Then I...

    Long time Herbert User. new amp suggestions

    I find using more or less channel volume in conjunction with more or less master volume can change some of my Herbert channel sounds quite a lot. But I bought a Hagen, which I now play a lot more than the Herbie, and it sounds like maybe for what you'd want. It's still that big lovely Diezel...
