    What are your favorite pickups to use with Diezel amps?

    With my Hagen, I find passives work best. I have two guitars with different custom Alnico 8 pickups made by Home Wrecker Pickups that I like to use. One set uses NOS '52 pickup wire. With my Herbert, I like using actives. Fishman Dev Set or EMG 81.

    What's the tone in your head?

    I have more than one. Agalloch's use of an Orange Rockerverb and a Marshall JCM 20000 has to be one of the best complimenting tones. Even in person it sounded fantastic. Orange added the thickness and the Marshall added the punch. Mgła's gritty and dissonant use of the 6505 (an amp I usually...

    What speakers do you like with your Diezel?

    I've done a bunch of speaker swapping. I tend to play my Hagen out of two cabs at the same time; a Splawn straight 412 with H75s on top and Weber Silver Wolves on the bottom and an Emperor 412 with V30s and Redbacks X patterned. Herbert MK3 I've since re-imagined as a doom amp and play it out...

    New Wizard Model: Hell Razor

    That is a great deal and honestly probably should have just gone the used route but I ended up springing for a new build. MTL MK II KT150 with white tolex and black piping. Rick said 4-6 weeks but might be sooner as he has the parts already.

    New Wizard Model: Hell Razor

    I've been wanting a Wizard and have been holding off to see how the Hell Razor stacks up. It sounds awesome in the clips. My gut tells me to get the MTL as my first Wizard. Is the upcharge for KT88s over the EL34 MTL worth it?

    What type of lighting do you use for studio 'ambience'

    Black lights, led bulbs that can have the color changed, and one of those flame bulbs.
