On the latest revision of the the VH4, channel 2 is amazing. Is has some very limited Mrashallesque qualities to it, but is MUCH thicker in the low-mids and bass. It's also far more compressed and Hi-Fi. The VH4 has a punch and wallop to it (even at low volumes) that is hard to comprehend unless you have spent time with one.
Cool.

The power tubes make a massive difference.

I'd love to see a 2555x with kt77 compared to the vh4. That would be very cool imho.
 
IMO, the Diezel has a weird flubby thing in the lower mids in the palm mute the Marshall dont have. The Marshall is more percussive.
I see what you're getting at, but it's really the bigger wall of lows, whereas the Marshall has this gurgly low-mid sound, that I also would usually cut out with an outboard EQ...probably in the 270-400Hz range... Almost vocal 'ohhh", but just below that.

I'd say that the Diezel is more punchy in this case, because it's a bigger punch in the gut, opposed to cut-throat.
And even Euge himself has to admit at 9m10s that the Diezel sounds better here.

All Diezels have that lower mid tubby thing going on in clips I have heard. I have not tried one in person, but that always bugs me in every clip. It is almost like the lows are a very wide Q so it covers too much ground, when a more narrow spike at 100hz is more what I like.

Just like ENGL. I havent tried one in person, but every clip has that stiff congested mid thing going on I dont like.
