Hi, just noticed this noise from my VH4. I don't think it was there before (?) not noticeable when playing, but quite noticeable when guitar volume is rolled off to 0. More noticeable when gain is turned up especially channel 3/4. Is this normal or something wrong? I have tried swapping in a...

Anyone care to add more details / correct me? Just basing off my experience owning a couple of Diezels and comparing clips online and others comments. VH4 - classic Diezel sound, compressed, aggressive, hi-fi like clarity Einstein - like VH4 but fatter, rawer, more vintage i.e. open, bit more...

Ch4 seems almost a bit too extreme for me but I'll have to spend more time with it for leads

Yep that's it! So many great sounds in this amp

Settled, am now a proud owner of a new (to me) VH4 :thumbsup:

Thinking about getting a Diezel again, having owned an Einstein in the past. I traded the Einstein for a Les Paul worth 1.5-2x more so I couldn't say no, but it's the only amp I've owned out of MANY that I would like to own again, or at least another Diezel. The Einstein was super raw and fat...

Wow! What a rig! Out of curiosity how close is the Myasnikov fish compared to the Bogner? It looks like he makes one now with the Cantrell mod as well, have been interested in getting one.

Heritage, easy

That's my clip! I don't have it anymore :lol: :LOL: Very cool amp but not quite my style. Quite unique, not anything like typical high gain Marshall kinda tones IMO. Has almost like a Hiwatt & Orange kind of thing going on. Sounds like a bit of Recto DNA in there and a bit Shiva like in a way...

Bumping this topic. My Einstein blew a tube and had to be repaired (all fixed now). Tech still has the amp and he's had a look at it and the noise doesn't seem to be any problem with the amp i.e. a tube or anything. Anyone know exactly what can cause the noise or how to fix? Even if there is...

Probably the closest you're gonna get. I doubt Jimmy Page just lets anyone looks inside his amps...

I read somewhere that he uses a custom wound SD pickup based on JB or Distortion. Someone managed to get one from SD or at least close but they wouldn't say exactly what the specs were
