I made a comparison clip for myself. Lenz Octane 2203 vs old Diezel VH4 clip

Completely different signal-chain.

Marshall by a mile

I think Ch3 unboosted sounds rad but starting to loose a little definition with that low tuning for some of the parts.

this!
VH4 channel 2 on bright would be more similar (but also more expensive)

Not in Europe. Actually i think the Diezel is more bang for the buck. If you like the Bang. If you don't, it's still more Bang for the Buck.
Swabian Calculation goes like this:

Used 2203x: 850.-€ (I got it cheap)

Mod: 650.-€ + 100€ "shipping" (I had to send it twice, because of DHL. It was also my fault. The Case wasn't packed in Carton. Then i went and picked it up myself, when it was finished)

New 2203x 1690.- = 2440.-€

New Lenz Octane: 3800.-€

New Diezel VH4: 2910.-€

My modded Marshall: 1600.-€

If i don't buy the Diezel i save 2910.-€
But i don't know how longe the price will stay like this.

I haven't cancelled the VH4 order yet, but we will see.
I like my modded Marshall.
It really opens up between 2.5 and 3 on the Master Volume.

i see, good deal(s)!
used JCM800 is like 1000€ and a diezel VH4 more like 3200€ new (1800 - 2200 used), normally.
2.5 to 3: like in 0 to 10 or 2:30 to 3:00???

edit: must be the first one, because over 6 or 13:00 the poweramp starts to distort

I need to get it first.
Not sure about that.
What are your settings?
Did you play the Ibanez 808 HW V2?

I just use ts9 with diezels . . Here’s how I set mine . Master volume at like almost half way

dont be afraid to turn the knobs all the way up . @Omnipotent1 used the exact settings and was blown away . I only used a noisgate . No boost .

Thanks. Master Volume half way up is pretty damn loud.

That amp does something different when cranked . That’s when the punch and clear ness comes

But if you turn master to like 4 you will be ok
