Thanks, Steve! So, the rack looper would allow me to use the FX Ultra in the parallel and other effects (like pedals or other rack gear) in the serial loop or vice versa? Also, are the channel insert return and send loops considered parallel or serial loops, or are they something all together...

Okay, it's either the Serial Loop or the Parallel Loop; got it. How does the rack looper beneficial if you use an Axe FX Ultra in the Parallel Loop of a VH4? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I'm out of the loop. :scared: I know...bad joke. Thanks again for the insight, everybody.

Ugh...I'm starting to remember why I don't use effects! ;) I'm ready to dip my toe in the effects water but I'm afraid I may drown in that -> diagram. But what I think I hear you saying is: The Serial Loop sucks less tone because the Parallel Loop does an analog-to-digital-to-analog...

That's good to know, Reiep. Thank you! So, you'd suggest using the Axe FX in the parallel loop and signal effects in the serial loop? What if the signal effect is in your Axe FX? I'm guessing you can't partition the effects from one unit (some effects to the parallel and some to the serial...

Thanks! I take it you would you suggest the FX Ultra as opposed to the FX II? In the loop being the serial loop or parallel loop (sorry if that's a stupid question)? Also, for the Axe FX would you suggest the MFC-101 foot controller or the Voodoo Lab GCP?

I'd agree with the others that most Diezel amps don't "need" an overdrive pedal but I've used an Xotic AC Booster for a volume boost during solos and that works very well.

That's fierce! :gethim:

Very nice! :rock: It sounds like you found "the one".

Honestly, I've never used many effects. I used to incorporate a wah pedal and a TS-808 but that was about it. Having said that, I'd like to start. It does sound like the Axe FX Ultra or Eventide Eclipse may be a better way to go. The TC G System was intriguing at first but I've read a lot of...

First off, thanks for the replies. I had not even considered an Axe FX Ultra. I guess my thinking was: If I wanted to use a modeled amp setting from the Axe FX II, I could (by just keeping the VH4 on channel 1). But saving a little money and getting an Axe FX Ultra is a great idea. I also...

Just curious...what is it about the Hagen that you like better than the VH4?

Has anyone here used the Axe FX II as the effects processor for a Diezel VH4? I really want to incorporate an effects processor into my rig but I don't have much experience with them. I've always been a guitar ==> amp, grip-it-'n'-rip-it type but I'd love to be able to hit one button and have...

Very nice! Schism has always been one of my favorite Tool songs. Your playing and tone sounded great! :rock: Thanks for sharing.

Now that is cool! :rock: Congrats on such a rare find. Put me on the dibs list, too! :inlove:

Great seeing you at NAMM after so many years, Greg. Keep in touch, man!

Mizati20 - Thank you for posting this! I cannot wait to get home so I can see the videos (they're blocked at work). Two questions for you: Did you do the resistor change Mark2C suggested along with the 6550 power tube change? Which manufacturer and model of 6550s did you go with?

Dave: Van Halen I if you're a casual listener; Fair Warning if you're a fan. Sammy: F.U.C.K. if you're a casual listener; 5150 if you're a fan. {Puts on the flame suit} :codeak:

I had the exact same questions and concerns that you have, rockerjt. I've owned a ton of amps (Soldano SLO 100, Bogner Ecstasy, Bogner Uberschall, pre-500 Dual Rectifier, etc) and the amp I liked the most was the Ecstasy 101B with EL34s in it. However, I wanted a little more gain and a little...

What's up, Sarge? Diezel and PRS are a lethal combination, brother! :rock:

Ventura - The intent of my post was to get a feel from other VH4 owners about what they'd done to tweak the voicing of their amps more to their liking. I just want certain aspects of the amp to be more "me" by changing tubes and possibly a resistor. If I didn't like the amp, I would have just...
