I've owned every Amp that you have listed
above, Several times over....and the one that
has the Saturation, Bottom End and Shimmering
Cleans that you're looking for is a Diezel, (Bottom Line)!!
I own my second D-Moll right now and it completely
Slay's!!!
I LOVED my XTC 101b, CAA PT-100/SE+ but they are based
mostly on a Marshall-esque Flavor but lacked the Foundation
Thumping Bottom End that a Diezel packs, straight out of the
Box. They all have plenty of Gain but the Diezel Saturates more!
The High Gain Amps that have the best Clean Tone is the Diezel
Herbert/D-Moll and the CAA PT-100/SE+, Period!!!
Sparkling, Crystal, Fenderish in nature, they all have it.
The VH4 & XTC 101b are a Close, Second place.
I am an expert on High Gainer's that can do it all...
Trust Me. I've owned them All at one time or another.
Have you owned an Einstein? If so how was it compared to the Dmoll? I had an Einstein but didn't dig it and have played several. But I spent a good amount of time with a Herbert and did like it a lot.
First off, I'm gonna state that I was outta control
with Amps but I've slowed down considerably.
As far as Diezel's go I've owned 2 VH4's, 3 Herbert's
2 D-Moll's and the Einstein 100.
The Einstein was OK but it was my least favorite Diezel.
It was a long time in between owning the Einstein and
current D-Moll, so I really can't recall the Tonal difference
between the two. What I do know is the D-Moll has many
Tonal qualities of the VH4 & Herbert, while not being as
Compressed and Processed sounding as the two. The D-Moll
has the Signature Diezel Sound but is a much more Open
& Organic Tone vs the VH4/Herbert. It has the Mid-Cut
Feature which can get you into Herbert territory with ease
and Channel 3 of the D-Moll is very reminisent of channel 3
on the VH4.
The Einstein wasn't anything special that made me want
to hang on to it. It was OK but the others do the
Diezel thing, so much better!!
