Everybody knows painting hot rod flames on your car makes it go faster… Does painting your VH4 blue make it sound more badass? 🤔

Programming midi can be a pain in the ass. Morningstar forum is gonna help you there as the programming is controller specific. The amp just “listens” to the midi messages. The only thing you might have to consider is the midi offset in the VHX global settings. Some controllers CC’s start at 1...

Even though it’s a boost discussion, learning a little bit more about the VHX is always exciting. I’ve been tempted to make a demo video for the VHX that goes through each of the voicings and shapes, since there’s not really any good demo’s out there. I just have to find my box of SM57’s...

Ha! I didn't know you were on here (makes sense tbh). Yeah I actually commented on one of your videos asking you to do a comparison test if you had it. I think you were waiting on a head at the time.

I saw that. But he mentions it has the same circuit topology as the MKIII/Hagen? So is that implying there isn’t a VH4 circuit in there (just an approximation of one)? Or is that single gain control the only difference between the circuits? I don’t really care too much. It’s a Diezel at the end...

So the VHX circuit/circuits are based on the Herbert MKIII and the Hagen? Maybe, I'm misinterpreting but does that mean the VH4 circuit itself is not in the VHX? There's no doubt that it's a badass amp that sounds great, but I am curious if I decide to get another Diezel, which would be most...

So the VHX has the gain sweep at the end? I know the VHX has a different wider sweep than the other Diezels, but I'm not too sure on the particulars. I just know Early - 0 is supposed to be a Blueface VH4, Classic - 0 is a Silverface VH4, Classic - 1 or 2 might be the Hagen, and Modern - 0 is...

Trades?

Soul Food? I got one as a gift for my dad years ago. Turns out he only uses Tubescreamers, won’t even look at other overdrives. Might grab it from him next time I visit if it works well with Diezel’s?

Sometimes I run an EQ pedal into the front of the amp to push and reduce certain frequencies coming out of the guitar, while being pretty transparent. Works great. Also remember the sweep of the pots is wider on the VHX than the other amps. I only started to connect what that does to the sound...

I’m not saying you’re wrong. It’s just that the debate won’t ever be settled unless you’re Adam Jones himself and you donate the Blueface for a comparison test. It’s one of the most contentious debates in the Diezel fan club.

Spoiler Alert: The video did not, in fact, settle the debate.

I don't think anyone is against the idea. But Diezel is a very small company. We know they're busy with orders, they're busy making the VH-Mini (or whatever the small wattage tube version of the VH4 is called), then all the rumors of other projects. But it would be nice if Diezel did something...

I feel like if you all practiced more you could get the sound you want out of the current VH4's... The first time I saw Tool, his Blueface took a shit on the opening song and he used the Silverface for the rest of the night... His tone was still godly. So just experiment with the settings a...

Howdy! So I own a Diezel VHX, it’s an awesome amp but I’m a big fan of stereo rigs and the VHX is a pretty stiff amp. The lead tone is great, but it lacks some of that delightful “slinky” “spongey” feel you find in some amps. It’s also pretty damn dark. So I’ve been thinking about getting...
