Very cool!
I've had my Herbie since June 5th 2005 and IMO is the most versatile and dynamic guitar amplifier on earth.
CH1 - you can get a plethora of classic to modern Marshall/sparkling Fender clean tones.
CH2 - the skies the limit. Again pick any classic or modern Marshall and you'll nail it.
CH3 - it speaks for itself. Just amazing.
The mid cut I use all the time. Typically intensity 10, level 12.
I'd suggest you start with all the EQ settings at 12:00 and slowly, very slowly tweak it from there.
From my experience, give Herbie at the very least 2 years before you feel that you've reached out long and hard enough to truly appreciate the brilliance that Mr. Peter Diezel has incorporated into this very fine boutique monster of a guitar amplifier.
Best of luck to you, you scored a definite keeper with the Diezel Herbert.
Attached is a starter "Diezel Herbert Amp Sample Settings". Play around with it, but as I said, start with all EQ settings a 12:00 then tweak away.

With all respect {sg guy}, if one should endeavor into the Diezel arena without the basic knowledge of music (ex. harmony) then this one is not worthy of such a fine piece of guitar gear.sg guy":3jnbo785 said:
Maybe ACDC is more appropriate and suits your musical taste more.

HNAD! I've never tried a Herbert, played through a VH4 a while back. Very cool, articulate amp. I hear the Herbert is the most beastly....a buddy has one and he dials it in a bit scooped but then bumps the mids back in with an eq pedal in front....thick wall of cutting metal tone!

Here is what I can tell you so far. Having owned the VH4 and now a Herbert. I would have to say that the 4 is a very dry sound and a damn good one. The Herbert has (the best way to describe it) squish. On the Herbert I am SUPER impressed with the headroom. Just has so much more on top that I feel it is very manageable. And the loops.....Wow. Just transparent. Although the 4 has more features, I think the Herbert has more useable ones. Just my .02.

The Herbert is the baddest amp out there in my humble opinion. You can get every sound you could want out of it, and every feature is well thought out with that amp. With the VH4, I have a few gripes. I've never found the inserts useful, and I don't like that the parallel loop is the switchable loop. But, thats just my thoughts though.1meanplexi":3r8matxz said:
