Ted, you'd like the Einstein, VH4, and Hagen more than the Herbert. The Einstein is one of my favorite Diezels, but they're hard to find. The Hagen is supposedly like the VH4 but more upper mids.
I love the herbert, i have the MK1, ive had it for almost 20 yrs and its one of my favorite amps of all time. I spend most of my time on Ch2 with a boost, i also like the clean channel, i played the V2 a few times but ch2 sounded the same to me and i didnt feel the need to upgrade just for the sake of a little more headroom in the cleans.
I’m pretty intrigued by the atlas. Mark Lewis comes up with some nasty tones. To my knowledge the mark channel is based on a triple recto slaved into a Herbert because he does this quite a bit. The other channel is supposedly the nightmare preamp circuit.
I got a v1 and that's one of my preferred amps. I bet many people having problems cutting live or in a band are using the mid cut in a way that give them no chance in a mix.
