I couldn't help myself! NAD: Diezel Paul

I saw that amp in Tukwila Washington a few days ago. It's listed in Tennessee. It looked pretty much new. Same price and model. It was not in the used section and not listed on the site.

I much prefer this amp over the VH4.

Having owned the VH4 twice, I agree. The Paul suits me much more...

It is very similar to another I really like, the Suhr PT15IR.

But this one has a little more girth overall in channels 2 and 3.

The nature of the overdrive is really interesting in the Diezel amps. They have wonderful saturation, but retain clarity. This one feels really nice under the fingers. I like it a little more than Suhr offerings...
 
That sounded a lot better and I'd imagined. What are you planning on using this set up for? That Suhr single coil pickup sounds pretty good, the Aldrich though may not be the best choice to blend between the two.Kind of don't cut it. Maybe try a Motor City Pickups 2nd degree black belt around 9 DC resistance or you may wanna try an uncovered James Tyler Supercharged Studebaker dc specs 9.58 +/- if you go Studebaker contact me I got one. If you go to his website and you see the line growl for days, that's my line. He sent me this as a gift for that a while back. What are you using to record this?

I purposefully picked the Aldrich for its darker thickness. I have other guitars with lower output pups. TV Jones, SSV, Thornbuckers, SSH.


I used an old Zoom Q3

if I had to only have 1 Diezel it would not be the Paul but I can defnitely undertstand that would be the case for some other people.

I have only read/heard good things about the Paul, even for higher gain tones considering expectations were adjusted to the amp style

Congrats!
