HAGEN DATE APPROACHING!!

[Ventura]

I hope to hear some clips/vids of the Hagen soon. Remind me... what was the philosphy for this amp? There isn't much the Herbert doesn't do and do well. What type of player is the Hagen geared towards? I'm sure it will be a killer amp.

The best clip I've herd to date is the one on Diezel's actual website on the Hagen page (the vid on the bottom right).

Ya, it's a tough call as there's still not a LOT of material out there. I kinda tried to sum it up when the clips first started rolling in...

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=94503&p=1116742&hilit=hagen#p1116742

There were several threads as to the tonal differences, how it compared to the V or the Herb, etc. Basically, and what got the nod of approval from the 2 Peters, was, in summary, the Hagen is a looser playing amp than the VH4 with a more modern feel to it. It has a sparkling spanking clean, the crunch is a new tone, the Ch.3 on the Hagen is similar to the Ch.3 of the VH4 but raunchier and modernized, and Ch.4 is overkill.

I can't remember the bits that made everything glue together, but run the search, check out the vids, and see for yourself. I think it's going to be absolutely killer. There's something to be said for the cut of the VH4, but there's also something to be said for its compression. My guess is the Hagen's got a lot of new tonal terrain for Diezel - especially in the clean and crunch arena.

So be it.

Patiently awaiting clips and reports. Anything new from Bad Steban HQ is usually of epic proportions. Expect no less from the Hagen.

I'm patiently awaiting my Hagen to make some videos and clips for my rig-talk buddies...

If you could give us a brief example of each channel. After playing the Herbert a few times I am guessing the Hagen will be another do it all amp(and do it all extremely well) but might be a little more up my alley. Really interested in the Crunch tones. I have little doubt that the clean and high gain tones are going to be steller.

No extra container, Reza. I believe in DH Hell

I'd reseat the glass upon arrival - same thing goes for any amp that travels. Open 'er up, push 'em all in good and tight, then get her juiced. WAIT for a good long while for the first power up from standby to run.

This is my methodology and it seems to work just dandy. Furthermore, no need to rebias as I believe all the units being shipped have been burned in for 10+ hours to catch any drifting. Should be plug and play in that department - correct me if I am wrong here, Peter

[Peter Diezel]

Uncle Mo is right .... as always

 

[angelspade]

So excited to hear review and demo this amp for myself!

I have yet to own, or play a Diezel product that didn't meet my high expectations.

 

[Joeytpg]

alrighty man! Reza, when do you think you'll receive yours?

 

[cnote]

Mine is here. Can't wait to try it.

 

[glip22]

Mine is here. Can't wait to try it.

Awesome. Please post your initial thoughts.

 

[angelspade]

Mine is here. Can't wait to try it.

Let's hear it! What's the deal???!!! Really envious

 

[Profound]

I am not quite sure if we are going to hear any clips from Reza.
I am afraid that he is gonna have a heart attack the moment he will open the box

 

[MOOSEHEADS]

I bet Reza is locked in his room tighter that a kid with a porno mag.

Hope he drinks plenty of fluids this weekend and gets some clips.
