My original band used to play a local bar regularly, and I would wear an Iron Maiden t-shirt sometimes, and every time we'd play the second set, this one drunk guy would yell out "Live After Death!", Finally after like 10 times of this, I asked him from the stage: "Are you asking us to play the...

Pig Hog says they use 100% Oxygen Free Copper...

Microphonic Test with the Mk2: If you tap the tube, and the LED lights all the way, the tube is microphonic. Otherwise, it's just reading the natural noise in a particular tube (you're not looking for a number) I've found a number of microphonic tubes like this (I also did the old fashioned...

The Valve Tester Mk2 is still the best investment I made last year. Works perfect for me. I've found worn or microphonic tubes in most of the used amps I've bought, and a simple tube change turned them into fire-breathing beasts. Best example: PRS MT100: bought used-mint condition, amp sounded...

I used only Monster or Mogami for 20 years, but now I'm loving Pig Hog Cables, especially for the price. I have my whole amp wall and switching system connected with Pig Hog cables and it sounds excellent!

I've used a TU-2 for 20 years. Tried to upgrade to the TU-3, but the TU-3 was un-useable. Bought a Peterson.....hate the strobe too Still using the TU-2... Maybe I need to look at the Polytune 3

Move on. Quickly. That guy is what we musicians call a FLAKE. There are a lot of them. If you want to put together a band, get ready to wade through a bunch of 'em...

Smart move to have a tube tester. Best investment I made last year! I bought a used PRS MT100 that was mint, and I found 4 microphonic preamp tubes in it. No wonder the last owner traded it in. and I'm figuring PRS got a bad batch of tubes. It happens. I replaced all the preamp tubes with JJs...

I am very interested the Reload II, especially in the Surgical Attenuation for my amp wall, and using the Reload II to make better quality captures in my Quad Cortex (I currently use a Captor X 8ohm). I'm assuming we can load our own IR's into Reload II?

in 2024, I bought 2 used Egnater Armageddon 120 heads, and I love them!! Armageddon's can take any tube set or combination of tube pairs. I'm running one with KT77s, and the other with 6550s. They both sound AMAZING! Bruce's design is flawless. The Armageddon is a truly under-rated amp. Would...

Nice! I think CH4 is the best Metal Channel of any amp ever. Total Chunk and Thump I'm currently flip-flopping running KT88s, or the stock 6550's in my Savage 120 Mk2. Can't decide which to stick with....they both sound great!

I bought an Orange Valve Tester Mk2 back in April, and I love it. It's essential if you buy used amps. Example: I bought a used PRS MT100 in perfect condition. It sounded good, but not brilliant. I tested all the tubes and found 4 microphonic preamp tubes. I replaced the preamp tubes and the...

Merry Christmas, Peter and everyone at Diezel! I've got a VH4 and VHX. looking to get a Herbert Mk3, and a Hagen. Keep up the great work!!

Way cool! Any combinations standing out to you? (EX: Red CH, Modern, 2)

I'm using the Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro with a Mission expression pedal to control my VHX. Works great. I just got a Paint Audio Midi Captain to try Bluetooth with the VHX Congrats on the new VHX! I was playing mine tonight at my studio.....Blue Channel (CH3) Early (Blueface), 1 (Herbert)...

Love my VH4 and VHX. Want a Herbert MK3 and a Hagen. I play my Diezels weekly Met Peter Stapfer at NAMM last year. Can't wait to see what they do next

I guess we'll find out in 20 years. I bought my VHX in 2022 because I wanted my VH4 live tone and FX in one unit, where the amp knob settings were saved per song. It was also easier to carry, and I can even use it cab-less with an IR direct to PA. It's worked out great as an all-in-one unit. I...

That is exemplary! I love K100s with V30s with my Diezel VHX and VH4. I run a 2x12 with K100s on top of a 2x12 with V30s, and I love the tone. Have fun with that beautiful new cab!!

I couldn't pass up Neural DSP's 50% sale on Plugins. I already have 2 Quad Cortexes, Gojira X, Plini X, Rabea, Fortin Nameless plugins, but at 50% off, I was able to get the Parrallax for Bass, and the Tim Henson plugin for the same price that the Tim Henson usually sells for alone: $119 That's...

I ran my VH4 thru a Marshall 1960A with G12-T75 speakers for 2 years, and I thought it sounded great! It's a good combination. My Engl Invader2 sounds excellent thru the 1960A too.
