Well I've made a few posts already but I just wanted to say hi to everyone on here, and make it all "official like" :) .

I've been a Diezel owner of the same amp for about 6 years now, give or take a bit, and I've loved every second of playing these amps. I've only had to deal with customer service about once in that timeframe, and it was easily one of the most efficient, and respectful experiences that I've had in that regard. Thank you to Peter Diezel for making such quality amps, and being awesome enough to be as frequent in the community as he is. I was honestly shocked when I first figured out that he gets on here himself lol.

As for myself, I make Tool vids, I play in a Tool tribute....you get the idea :D I've been doing it for quite a bit now, so if anyone ever has any Tool tone/playing related questions I would be happy to oblige. I may not give away EVERYTHING I've learned over the years (that's part of the fun :P) but I will definitely help if I can.

Here's one of my more recent vids:

Well there's a small bit of Adam in there to be honest...A consequence of the mastering process or something, but it's as minimal as you can get. :) PM me your email or something and I'll send it to you.

Thanks a lot man! My recording setup is fairly simple, I have the two amps, the Diezel mic'd with an SM-57, and the Marshall mic'd with a PR-30. I run these into a small mixer, then out to a USB audio interface. I then use audacity to record. I vary this every now and then, from swapping the mic's to levels etc. etc.

Haha, I'll send you my address :P

I'm just shooting around for a straight up trade at the moment, VH4 prices are just too rich for my blood.. I got really lucky when I got the Herb, it was kind of like a bum finding a bar of gold on the side of the road lol. I'll heed the heads up as well :) Thanks man

lol got tired of the Tooltabs forum? Welcome. ;)


Haha, fuck man, I haven't trawled those waters in years lol. Place kinda died out a bit.
 
Ive noticed on your push-it cover with remi (which is unreal!!) that you play a few parts quite differently to your original one. I think the newer version is much better tone & playing wise.

Just wondering why the changes??

Also if you had the time, would you do another video of your setup etc like the old one you use to have up on youtube. Im sure a lot of people would appreciate it.
