The Diezel Schmidt Since it got revealed i was interested in this amp. Being a Herbert user since 2009 i had a love/hate relationship with it for the last two years, to much gain, to heavy, a bit to much compression, not taking OD pedals to well. Recently i got the chance to get the Schmidt and...

Hi I just got the amp. I knew up front the reverb didnt work. Eveything else works just fine. Could it be tube related? Thanks Robert

Hi everyone, 14 years a go i decided to get the Diezel Herbert, i had to choose between that and a Mark V. Now finally i got one! Im running a broken doen 1x12 at home Im in yhe maroet for a other cab So im thinking running them as a dual amp setup, reading about phasing issues and other...

I have my Herbert since, 2008 or 2010, can't remember. These past 2 years it didn't do it for me, so I put it up for sale. With my luck of course nobody wanted to give me a fair price so I kept it, most of the time being up for sale. It was time for something new of course, I scored a JVM...

Hi all, When it comes down to changing the overall feel and tone, is the V3 the only one i have to change? Also, can the V1 also handle a standard ecc83 tube? The layout: V1 = input stage and channel 2 V2 = channel 3 V3 = all channels V4 = mixer and send buffer V5 = return driver serial and...

So yesterday night when I finally got around to play I switched the amp on, the amp made a loud bang and doesn’t power on anymore. Can anybody be of assistance? Nothing works anymore. I thought to ask here or should I email Peter? Thanks, Robert

Hi, Im in the market for a attenuator. Cash isnt a problem. When looking at specs i like it that the captor has the ir's build in. Having more attenuation options on the ironman 2 is a big plus (well, i think so) Im using a Herbert at the moment but im planning on getting a MarkV For now...

Hi, I just got the BB preamp, im running it trough the clean channel and get a amazing low gain, pushed tone.Now i want to boost my channel 2 to get a front end pushed vibe, do any of you use a clean boost and if so, what would you reccomend me? Thanks, Robert

Hi all, Although I want a cab with the hempcone speakers I have the chance to get this one. Do any of you know if it’s a old model or the newer model that P. Stapfer constructed? The sticker doesn’t show the serialnumber anymore Thanks, Robert

Hi all, Im in for a midi floorboard. After picking up the guitar again more then a month a go ive decided to work on my setup. I sold everything except my guitar, my herbert, a 1x12 V30 cab and my Carbon copy delay. Not being interested in units for effects i decided to go the pedal route...

So this is the deal Starting out, loving metal i had to get the Herbert. while years past, i kept rolling back the gain knob on the OD channels down, bit by bit every year. I went from trash and metal to playing jazz. I love the Herbert, i just cant get rid of it, so its a keeper. But after so...

Hi all, Its been a year since i retubed, again i have a faulty tube. These past 12 months i only got a max. of 10 hours on the Herbert. Leo has helped me out back then, there where tricks you could do to see which part of the preamp or power section where effected. Maybe we can get a full...

Finally (again) im planning to start and play my guitar I have big house, but the Herbert at night is just....madness lol Ive always played at low volumes and accepted it. At the moment i have my setup with me in the office, i only got to play for 5 min. these past 3 months. (so the idea of...

So i had so many tube failures in the past. I sent 28 out of 40 el34 tubes for tube testing including a couple old preamp tubes. Only 1 SED was faulty. Retubing is expensive so if you have them in a box i would advise you to get them tested! My last tubes where bad, so i thought, theyre all...

After my retube two weeks back i was very happy with my amp being alive again! Im running: a sixtet JJ KT77 V1 Mullard CV4004 V2 Shuguang 12AX&B HG V3/V6 Shuguang 12AX7B The amp has so much gain, im running ch. 2 at 10/11:00 and ch.3 at 9:00 Riffs: strong, articulate and punchy, low and high...

Hi, I have at the moment: V1 Mullard 12ax7 cv4004 V2 Shuguang 12ax7b/ec83 High Gain v3 Shuguang 12ax7b/ec83 Having tube problems and i have the choice, can you guys recommend other tubes to try? Dont get me wrong, im digging the sound but having a tad less gain/compression on the channels...

Guys (maybe some woman to) These past 4 years i have kept going back and forword playing the guitar. Finally i have started again and im enjoying playing again so much! The Herbert, i instantly see/hear why i choose this amp :rock: Yes i have the Herbert, but im on ch. 1 most of the time and...

Hi, Did any of you have a break from playing the guitar for a longer period? I just started playing again, starting with 10 minutes :lol: :LOL: (its been almost a week) Its been so long i forgot how much fun it is, i need to work again to get my technique back and man how i have forgotten...

So, i have been gone for sometime, it seems the chat has been getting quiet. Peter, how are you doing? and how is the other Peter doing? I hope all is good in Diezel land :thumbsup: I also havent followed the industry much but i seems its hard earning a buck in music these days. Soon ill play...

Hi, First: Im biased, im a EL34 guy! As most people here also i needed a retube and got the KT77. I had my fair share of tubes failing before so i wanted to go with what Peter recommended. At first i really liked them. Characters of the KT77 in my amp: Punchy, more pressence, less presented...
