NAD! Diezel VHX

Wow, really - could you link that thread?

Their marketing states "Pure, all-tube, analog signal path" so something isn't adding up.

The FX are digital, so the signal has to go through that between the pre and power amp, as if you had a FX processor in the loop. And afaik it’s always going through that unit. It’s in a Rig-Talk thread somewhere where he addressed a bunch of questions like this. I believe the marketing is meant to suggest there’s no amp modeling, at least that’s how I understood it.

@ZEN Amps watch at around the 3:00 minute mark.

@Leo Diezel can you please clarify?

Yes the AD/DA is always active, in between the preamp and the poweramp.

Bottom line.
When it comes down to end of the Earth and you need one amp that can ward of the end of times..
Diezel Herbert.
Talk all the poop, no mids blah blah, and
suddenly we’re in a room and the mids are so blistering and the punch from the sheer power of SIX KT77’s…it’s fire in the ears!
Noise floor also, when your up on those high gain pressures it can be a static shower..
With the Herbert, all you hear is a silence.. -INCOMING!
Word.
