from Salwender International's Diezel VH4 Manual:
3.2.4 Loop as Second Master Volume
Those of you who can live without processors in the parallel loop can use this loop for a second master volume for each channel. To do this, just loop a short 1/4” cable from send 2 to parallel loop return. Now you can choose a second master volume by turning the mix control past 1:00 PM to full open, and push the send 2 button to activate your second master volume. To do this for the VH4S, you must use a Y-cable and send the signal from send 2 to parallel return A and B.
there's a lot of other interesting things in the manual that would answer many questions people post on this forum. there's also some nice tips and tricks... for example:
section 4.1.3 addresses the potential ultra-compression of channel 3 and how to deal with it.
section 3.2.6 offers creative ideas for using the channel insert loops, which i think are an underrated feature of the VH4 that most people overlook. no one talks about the channel inserts on this forum...
and then there's this:
5.2.2 Tube Selection
the VH4 and VH4(S) come factory equipped with 6L6 type tubes. The 6L6 tube delivers transparent tone with good warm tendencies and strong low end. It is possible to use other types of tubes in the Diezel amplifier. This makes this amp more versatile than most other amps and allows you to fine tune your rig to your own special needs.
EL34/6CA7: aggressive, slender low end, higher total harmonic distortion (THD)
5881: great tube for clean sounds, lower output, but similar to 6L6
6550: very loud, very good dynamics, strong low end (150 to 180W)
KT88/KT100: similar to 6550, but very punchy with great clarity and warmth. Expensive.
factory equipped with 6L6? hmm... interesting right?
again, this is Salwender International's VH4 Manual. both the Herbert's and Einstein's manuals offer some of the same information and other tips specific to those amps. i've never read European manuals, but i suspect they're the same.
read your manuals, then read them again...
