I am by no means trying to stir up trouble, nor am I telling anyone how to adjust an amp.
I have owned the VH4, Herbert, Schmidt, and Einstein. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "metal" player. I have been hired for years to play commercial music.

I had no trouble getting from any of the Diezels, a wonderful, and perfectly fitting sound for any style of music I was called on to play. For me, it was just getting to know the amp.
I didn't have to play it for any period of time to know it was the amp I wanted, but each model offers something different, and yet similar to other Diezels as well.

Before going through a lot of time, and euros in shipping, etc., might I suggest that you consider spending the euros and travel to where you have the opportunity to audition each Diezel amp you are interested in. While it may seem as though you are spending euros needlessly, in the end, your mind will have made the decision based on trying the actual amps, and not by trial and error.

If I lived as close to Bad Steban as you do, I would have gone there every time I wanted to try out a new model of Diezel amp. Worst case senerio is that you could, at least, visit a Diezel dealer, either in Germany, or Belgium, to try a Diezel amp. What you spent shipping it back might have come close to paying for your travel time already.

Best of luck. Don't be discouraged. There is no wrong choice with a Diezel amp....just a different choice. Enjoy the hunt. :thumbsup:

Thanks sincerly thank you
 
I had a similar choice a couple of months back when i bought my VH4. for me, the tightness and especially channel 3 sealed it. however, as pretty much every poster in this thread says: you can't really go wrong, they're all great amps, and if you have a chance: try them out! :)

i've had my vh4 since october and for my musical tastes, it's perfect.

Yes but Hagen or Vh-4 to be or not to be ?

i can not decide .
Is the hagen can offer me the Vh-4 sound Yes no ? i don't know :doh:
 
for me, i specifically chose the vh4-sound, so i chose the vh4. if you haven't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0-uPy3ZS9Y

in that video Diezels Peter Stapfer does a quick overview of the diezel line. there's a couple more of those video's. in another one (i think it was from session.de or musikschmidt.de) he describes the Hagen more as a vh4 for todays modern music, 7-string guitars etc.

now, that obviously doesn't mean that a hagen can't do a convincing 90's metallica-sound or the vh4 can't do modern metal :) end of the day: they are both very versatile, great amps but the vh4 felt right for me.

One of my staples for years :thumbsup:
 
I never owned or heard the Hagen.
Did own a VH4S and a Herbert.
When I buy another Diezel its going to be another VH4. That amps sounds PERFECT!
Here was one of the videos I kept watching over and over when I 1st bought into Diezel.
 
The VH4 IS Diezel :yes:

But I gotsta say, me and the Hagen are 2 peas in a pod...

Ah, great. Just the kind of clip I´ve been waiting for.
The Hagen definitely seems like the best choice for me.
Now just have to wait for the Swedish dealer to get them in...

Mine is already ordered :rock:
 
rock on! :) my wait wasn't long (about a month), though at the time it felt like an eternity!
 
Right choice dude - I own both Amps, but my VH4S is for sale ;)


...but it took me a lot of time to understand the Hagen-sound-concept...

What do you mean ?

Channel 3 of the VH4 is what made Diezel famous. It's their signature sound through and through.

As for the Hagen, ya, it's a different animal with soooooooooooo much siggy Diezel tone. I love my Hagen. Love it.

Peace :salute:

Yes, looking forward to hearing your opinions on it.
I don´t mind the wait if it proves worth it in the end and I´m sure it will.
Good thing we have the Herbert, Einstein and Schmidt in to keep me calm for now.
