Dear Papa Diezel....

[TheEternal]

Would it be possible to design / build a simple 20-30 watt one channel head with a simple -10bd loop for pedals for those who might not have the financial ability to acquire one of the "big amps"? Perhaps based on one of the heavier channels of the VH4 or Herbert?

This not a rant on pricing, just an honest question..

If there is a need I should put that on
the "to do" list. But don´t forget that
every new product needs another member
in the company while we are very busy
at the moment.

it is indeed interesting....... Diezel's take on the "small" amp market, but not Small+100 features..... just your basic 2 channel, master loop and maybe reverb or two masters.

Pleasepleaseplease? .......Add this to the "To-do" list.

I would prefer 6v6 (to EL84)....no reverb...single master. Easy/simple/AWESOME!

It's already almost an Einstein with a fixed channel 1... I don't think it'll change a lot the price. Maybe it can save some on R&D.

However I'm interested too, if it arrives before I have all the €€€ I need for my Einstein

Thanks you for taking the time to reply. I know you are
a very busy man. I think that you will see that there would
be a very large market for a simple Diezel amp for say
around $1000 to $1200 if that were possible. Companies
like Blackstar are cleaning up with their 5-20 watt high
gain heads. People would be jumping over each other
to get a simple Diezel for a reduced price... Also I think
you would find that the added exposure to the market
and the added revenue would justify adding a person
or two to the staff.

Here is my suggestion.. a simple 20 to 30 watt single channel amp with perhaps a mode switch (vintage / modern) and a -10db loop for pedals.. I added the request for a mode switch so that it could cover more tonal ground in a single channel..

It could also serve as an entry level amp for people to upgrade later to a big brother Diezel amp like the Herbert.. I use the smaller amp until I have saved enough for the bigger amp, but I still have the Diezel tone while I am waiting, and the smaller one inspires me to continue saving for the bigger amp.. With a simple and less expensive entry amp you could reach a larger market and gain more people who will only want to use your amps because they have experienced them..

Just think about it..

Try a Crate amp, maybe a FW15 would be suitable for your needs.

The transformers and chassis on the standard Diezel line are probably around $1000.

Save up for the real Diezel's. You won't be sorry.

Pappa I agree.You make the the best (iMHO)amps.I've been playing for over 40 years.I currently own a 100Wtt Einy.A lot of us old farts don't do the big shows anymore.There is a huge market for smaller amps.I know Schmidt is the current offering,But I still long for the the nasty ,sweet ,awesome tone that I've come to expect from Diezel.I still have a Boogie for times when I don't want to piss the wife off(LoL).Maybe a mini Einy meets Hagan.I refuse to use stomp boxes and love the true sound of 6 preamp tubes.I bought my first Boogie when thay where still a cottage company.Frankly I'm old and hate all the buttons and sliders crap.I love the fact that your tone controls do so much in the sound shaping.Like was posted on another thread,I lost all respect for Bogner when thay went Chnease.Thank you for all the hours of sonic bliss you have provided me.Some old guys get fast cars and chase young chicks,I prefer to chase sonic bliss...it last longer.Forever a fan,old tone fart Steve in Alaska.

I'll just ignore the condescension in this post.. Nothing good would come from my response..

When I said less expensive, I didn't mean I wanted him to build one for $50.00..

Current Diezel owners who would feel butt-hurt by him building an entry level amp because you spent a horrendous amount of money on your amp can ignore this thread..

No way you're going to get that amp R&D'd, handbuilt, and shipped overseas through customs and to your door for less than a used Einstein, so if you're not looking for a new flavor of Diezel tone or new feature, you might as well go that route.

And what about this?

You're f'n nuts!!!

What are you, the neighborhood SNAFU?

Was that "good fun" too??

This behaviour is all well and good in Off Topic...but it has no business junking up Herr Diezels threads.

Bad form...imo.

That's all well and good if that is a fact.. I was just asking a question..

I could buy a custom American made hand wired amp from Baron amps for half the price of a Diezel..

If you didn't mean it that way, that's fine.. I have experienced my share of cork sniffers..

I agree..I do not post alot for just this reason! I own a Herbert and love it! I bought it thanks to this web site but I have seen alot of bad attitudes. Not everyone can afford 4G's and this guy is just posing a question....no need to be a dick to him! For those that don't like what I have to say...think...you would not like someone speaking to you that way....just my .02.........
