Herbert arriving!

[bronz79]

I'm pretty sure next week I'll recive my Herbert.
Of course I can't wait to place it upon my FL Diezel cab and paly it!

I'll post some pics and then I'll make a little review between it and the VH4 I've owned.

Congrats ! Just take the time to dial it in right and you will love it !
I just talked to a Herbert user who said this amp is dark and undefined and sounds bad with V30.
Mine must be a different amp, it´s the opposite.
What didn´t you like with your VH4 ?

Many thanks Sascha!
I love my VH4 and when I was selling it I was happy only because I was going to buy another Diezel.( I can't afford to own both)
I've choosen the Herbert only for one reason: the more modern metal tones that the Herberd has.

So..now is monday..well..I'll start to obsess my amp dealer!

First impressions?

I've got a hard day at work today so little time to test my new amp but few things are clear:
-Herbert is much more different from VH4 than i've thought
-more modern voicing on all channels
-more suitable for modern metal
-mid cut is not so easy to setup in 2 hours of playing
-VH4 is very very tight,Herbert a little less
-less ubercompressed than VH4
-more usable gain
-this amp is almost dead quiet!..even on ch2+ and ch3 with mid cut engaged very little hiss, less than VH4...only on ch1 the Herbert has more hiss than VH4..strange,
maybe this is due to the lack of a gain knob on ch1 ,the first thing that i saw unboxing the amp.

I'm not normally a fan of highly compressed amps, but the VH4 is a definite exemption.

I also agree about the "more usable gain" point. The VH4 becomes too compressed when you push the gain really high for my tastes. I don't actually have a VH4 but the times that I've tried them I have never used that much gain, even when playing modern metal. The amp is so strong that it doesn't need it.

So you like it so far?

Congrats and enjoy that Beast.
