Paul tones in VHX

[S̷͖͑m̵͎͂á̵̺s̸͚̈́h̴̬̑]

It's funny that after spending so much time on forums, you're still incapable of understanding a basic question and post... and then you assume plenty of things I've never said. Thank you for being the perfect caricature of the dumb idiot on forums that will spend way more time typing than actually playing his gear, just because he never received enough love from his parents and he needs to compensate for his miserable life by spewing crap online on things we didn't ask him... it's ok buddy, we love you anyway.

Of course, there's thousands of comment on how the VHX is in comparison to the VH4 or the Herbert, but that's not moronic at all to ask, but if someone like me dare to ask about how it is in comparison to the Paul, then it's moronic... Yeah, I get it.

Thank you also for comforting me in my idea that forums are generally a waste of time because people like you have too much ego to admit they don't know something and therefore instead of answering intelligently to a damn question, they will either insult you, sidetrack the thread with something else, or simply waste your time with things nobody ask them. I guess it's time to remove notifications on this thread, you wasted my time more than enough already.

No. It IS dumb to ask how it cops the VH4 and the herbert. Because it doesn't. It gets close, but if you want one, then get it. If you want variety, get a modeller. If you want a great sound, get an amp with one.

This isn't complicated. You aren't going to get all those sounds in one box. You will get a lot of sounds in the box. If that pale impression is enough then why ask random strangers what an amp sounds like?

Some are going to say it is exactly like the Paul. Some are going to say it is nothing like the Paul. You are in love with an idea and will listen to the people that say it is perfect and ignore those that say it isn't even the same ballpark.

That said, I wouldn't have approached you in this very earnest and insulting way, but you are a miserable cunt that has attacked almost everyone in this thread trying to help you.

I think you are an annoying moron, but take away my thinly veiled (and sometimes not) insults; and even I am trying to help you make an informed decision rather than chasing butterflies and roses.

It all comes down to your goals. I am sure the fine people at diezel wanted to compete with modellers and have it in tube form. Who better to model their own amps than them? That said, the circuit is going to be much different in whole than anyone of their amp's preamp/power amp circuits in cohesion. So they compromise with probably the best modeller of all their amps in one box, ie: jack of all trades, master of none.

So you decide what you want. I understand that you cannot buy this amp right now in europe, so you may have excitement and want to talk about it and therefore get a bit of pleasure from the process, but when you attack everyone that is trying to help you and insult them for not answering your childish question, THIS is the type of response you will get on a forum. You have been to other forums, you should know this.

We are not here to serve you. You arent special. You are eurotrash.

As far as 90s called joke goes....i mean...i couldn't think of a more hypocritical way to format that.

And just to be clear. None of us are having trouble comprehending the question. It is more that the question is useless and so they are trying to help you in another way. Your superiority complex is what brought out the backlash...not your original question.

 

[S̷͖͑m̵͎͂á̵̺s̸͚̈́h̴̬̑]

And just a question. Your speech patterns and non linear logic smack of another member here. Are you by chance related to "Larry" of Larry amplification?

 

[Spidouz]

You are eurotrash.

Ohhhh I get it now... you're actually retarded. My bad, it's ok buddy.
(Maybe you shouldn't buy Amps from Eurotrash company either... you know 'Murica!! LOL)

I won't even reply to your comment because you're making assumptions after assumptions and you proved it AGAIN that you can't read basic English and you fail at basic logic so why bother to answer... but hey, it's ok buddy, we still love you, I don't blame you, I blame your education system.

Oh, and since you're slow, my signature contains "Phil", not Larry of whomever he is and I'm related to no one... I know, basic reading skill is hard for someone with an IQ of a fifth grader, but still, that's only 4 letters, you should know them by now... but nice try, you will still get a cookie, but go wash your hands and your mouth first, they're filthy. Now you're muted/ignored, waste your time all you want and go Make Amps Great Again...

[S̷͖͑m̵͎͂á̵̺s̸͚̈́h̴̬̑]

Fallacies of Logic:
If he calls me eurotrash, he hates everyone not from america
If he doesnt answer my question the way I want, he can't read.
They are assholes to me for being an asshole. Forums are unhelpful.

I could go on. Arguing with you is like arguing with a woman. You have no comprehension of logic, an entitled attitude, and are bitchy and miserable.

The only reason we put up with it from women is because they have a vagina. You don't, so we don't

 

[Spidouz]

So far Homophobic, Xenophobic, Sexist, what's missing for the full rig of the perfect inbred redneck? Oh I remember, talking about vagina when you can't answer a damn question... yeah, that adds up. God bless you...

Dear Gentlemen, is it possible to calm down a bit ? Thank you so much, Peter.

It sounds like a Diezel. At no point does it stop sounding like a Diezel. I could even make the argument that it sounds like a VHX which is an amp that sounds like a Diezel with a ton of options for sculpting the inherent tone of the amp.

It doesn’t sound particularly Marshall-y but it can keep up with a JCM800 just fine. You won’t get that spongey snaking glissando like you do on a great Marshall. I’ve never played a Paul, but my understanding is it’s Diezels take on a Marshall. I wouldn’t replace a Marshall with a Diezel, but I also wouldn’t replace a Diezel with a Marshall. If you have the budget for it, get one of the Diezel flagships and a nice Marshall and you’ll be set. If you don’t have the budget for both, do what I did and get one of the two. I got a VHX because I wanted all the sounds. The only thing I could really want another Diezel for now is sheer curiosity. I have no way of knowing for sure whether or not the VHX “nails” the sounds of the other amps, but it sure sounds like a badass amp. One day with a while lot more money I might go and buy me a VH4, a Herbert, a Hagen, and find out.

Ultimately I’m always going to sound like me no matter what I play. I hear somebody else on my rig and I might feel like it sounds completely different than any sound I’ve found. I know this because I used to hate Blues Jr’s and somebody joined our band and used one in practice and he sounded amazing.

So if your goal is specifically to get a Paul sound plus some, yeah it’ll do it. If your goal is to get Diezels take on a Marshall sound plus some, yeah it’ll do it. If your goal is to get a Paul sound because you want Diezels take on a Marshall sound because you want a Marshall sound (plus some), no it won’t do it. You’ll get a great Diezel sound that sounds like the others depending on your own ear.

Thanks @C0UNT3RP01NT for your feedback.

I already have a Two-Rock for cleans and a Dr Z EMS for all Marshall tones, so I'm not looking for the VHX to replace them. I thought about it initially, but I knew the VHX would never equal the Two-Rock and the Dr Z that I love more than anything else. Also they clearly cured my GAS for clean tones and for Marshall tones. I just hope the VHX could cured my searches for high-gain tones… i just wondered how close to the VH4 and the Paul the VHX could come close to. That’s it… we can read a lot about people mentioning the VH4 and VHX, but almost none about the VHX and others amps the VHX is supposed to get circuits from, such the Paul.
