Just my brand-spankin new 2016 Diezel VH4. Nothing like the smell of fresh meat. I think I want to lick the tolex? :yes:

I got my new Herbert MKII 2 weeks ago... and I liked it so much... he needed a friend. Well most have seen or heard what this monster can do. To be brief Channel 3 is $$$ tone. It's what you expect it to be. No disappointment. Channel 4 is more compressed, but the compression works to keep your tone tight and articulate no matter what you throw at it. Very fluid and liquid. Very Mesa Mark-esque feel. Fluid, liquid, smooth... all of that. Works as designed. Just the right mix of highs/lows. The channel 1 clean is really nice and one of the better cleans you'll find on a high-gain amp. Channel 2 is cool and fills in all the in-between crunch to classic rock tones you might need. Definitely still one of... if not the most... versatile high-gainers out there. It's been 20 years since it was released... and there have been some changes to circuit which many may or may not be familiar with. Still very modified Marshally sounding with more low-mids and bass than you might expect depending on how you dial it in. This is my second VH4, and it still one of the best on the market for many great high-gain tone from one box. The quality, design, and feature rich layout... as well as the killer tone... are what really set Diezel apart from the competition. If you need something to cover everything from clean, to rock, to metal... it's worthy of your consideration.

With some friends...

:rock: Your on a roll dude. You have a mighty collection. Congrats!!!
That's how it looked at guitar center when I played my Herbert today, minus the recto. Made me look at my Gc card credit limit :lol: :LOL:
 
Way more gear than I can handle. Great score. Congrats.
 
I bought a used VH4 last year and was a little disappointed with the way it sounded only for the fact that I wasn't able to turn it up. Not the best amp for low volume bedroom playing. I did turn it up a few times and it was pure bliss. If I was ever to join an other band the VH4 would most likely be the amp I would be rockin.

I agree. It needs a little extra volume push to climb out of that "good but not killer low volume tone suck realm." But once you kick the volume up a bit, it really comes alive. The Herbert and Uber are better for strictly low volume playing.

No... Made in LA, CA at BAD.

Since sometime in 2014 all the cabs sold in the US have been made at BAD in LA. The cost of shipping 1 4X12 via freight carrier from Germany to the US is around $400, so I was told.

They are made to the exact same specs as the German cabs and with the exact same wood. Peter Stapfer has confirmed this. It's a lot heavier than my old Uwe era FL 4X12.
 
They sound really good, it's taking everything in my will to not got pick up a new k100 fl since I played it yest
 
Can we discuss what you do for a living so that one day when I grow up (I'm 43) I can be just like you & follow in your footsteps. Congrats on the Sick Collection.

What would happen if you played all those amps at the same time? That would be so awesome!!
