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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Had a bit of a search on the web without a definitive answer, so thought I’d ask here rather than bugger about taking the back of my cab off… what are these hemp cones? I gather some model of tone tubby? Which ones?

Hi folks! This is kinda a general question that would maybe better off in the main forum, but 2 of my 3 (main) amps are Diezels, so I thought I'd ask here, at least first... I know some of you folks have more than 1 amp. Do you use them for recording different parts (e.g. multi-tracking), or do...

Hi folks! I'm just building a new pedal board and sorting out cables. I was gonna just run a long midi cable as per usual. But then I was pondering what the columbus XLR port on my Herbert/Hagen does since an XLR cable it's a bit more roadworthy. Is it basically just the 3 used pins of...

Hello! I was recording with my Herbert this weekend for the first time in ages. I'd forgotten just how epic and fat this thing sounds recorded as I haven't really had any proper new tunes for ages and recently for rough demos I tend to use my Bogner to record ('cuz the Diezel lives nearer the...

I was pondering what was said in this post about the newer synergy caps vs older sozo... viewtopic.php?f=59&t=189268 Me being the perpetual tinkerer and rather handy with a soldering iron, I was wondering how many there are of what values, where I could buy some (preferably in Europe, but...

Hi folks! Anyone got any recommendations for replacement cab casters? One of my originals broke, so I bought some off eBay that fitted and lasted a while but the centre of them is largely now destroyed (and they were a PITA as I couldn't get the non-proper ones on and off without mashing an...

What era/country cab is this... https://flic.kr/p/FEN8fj Jacks in top right-hand corner. Looks like it might be German. But no silver piping on the removable FL grille... And the Jack plate looks squarer and with a different sticker to current German made cabs...

Hello! Me forever daydreaming about guitar stuff has made me ponder if anyone has tried the K100 with V30 in their 212FL? Currently I have 2xV30s in there as it came. Generally I'm pretty happy but sometimes it can sound just a shade muddy with higher gain at higher volumes with my Herbert...

Hello! I need to get some of my guitar nuts filed out slightly as I have some of my strings catching in them and have put heavier gauge strings (11-49) on than the factory 9-42. As a result my tuning isn't always very stable with lots of whammy bar use. I was pondering if I should file them out...

Where do you run your channel volume pots (in this case Herbert) relative to the master volume? The manual says the volume pot changes the loop level up to +10 dB. Will all standard stomp boxes take that? Or is there a lower level to send them maximum signal for best S-N ratio without...

Hello! I was just pondering how great it would be if I could do this. I came across that Wilder Amps video doing exactly this via MIDI on youtube. He turned out to be a rip-off merchant didn't he? Did anyone ever get any remote switching mod for their +/- mode?

Hello! I've got a Fender Hotrod Deluxe. Normally I play my Diezel Herbert and my main rig the vast majority of the time, but I bought it for a good price so I have a combo I can take to a quick jam here and there when it'd be too much bother to spend half an hour packing and moving the half ton...

I'm well on the way to dropping some cash on an FAMC Liquid Foot LF+ Jr+ and would like some opinions... I heard their support used to be a bit ropey but they've admitted to this and it's improved a lot from what I've heard + they've been really quite helpful so far with my questions, so it...

Why don't more people play Parkers? Just wondering! I love my Fly Mojo and Nitefly! Would love the new DragonFly/Maxxfly too, would have to get the Carbon/Glass neck though (one of the reasons I love the ones I have). I know they had a period with a few quality issues but mine are great. :rock...
