    Anyone here also played a Diezel? Looking for another amp to blend with my VHX…

    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...

    Potential future "boutique" effects on the VHX?

    Hey Leo, I know you're working hard on the software editor, but I was curious if you had any ideas for future effects? I currently have a pretty large pedalboard, and I really would like to downsize to a smaller setup. However, a lot of these effects are unique-ish, and so I end up using them...

    Questions about the midcut on the VHX?

    Hey Leo/Peter/somebody who might know, Where is the midcut in the signal chain on the VHX? Also what's frequency/Q-point is it? I'm guessing it's after the preamp but before the FX? I've been messing around with the midcut and the loop EQ to get a real thumpy heavy scooped tone (which I know is...

    VHX Effects Loop Question: Parallel, Series, Both?

    So this is the first amp I've got with this level of control over the effects loop. All my previous amps had series loops, so it was plug and play and figure it out on the pedals. Been messing around with a looper pedal atm, and I'm trying to figure out the mix situation between them both. So...

    Suggestions for a “main” backup amp: Carvin Legacy vs PRS Archon vs Marshall DSL vs..?

    So there’s a Carvin Legacy 1 for sale near me, and I had heard some great things about them. Gave it a spin and damn it kicks ass. But they want $1k for the combo and I’m not too sure that’s a good price. But it’s hard to judge with covflation and the used market, as the combos are kinda rare...

    Serviceability of the VHX in the future?

    Hey! So I've had the VHX for awhile now, and it's a fantastic amp. No complaints about how it sounds or works. However, I'm also pretty young, in my mid 20's. I had a stroke of financial luck and the VHX became my first entry into the boutique amp world. I was having a conversation with an...

    Pulling power tubes in the VHX?

    So my band space is up in the air for the time being. There's some stuff going on and I'd rather keep my gear at home. But that being said within 300 feet of my house is: a church, a daycare, a birthing center, two lawyers, three doctors offices, a municipal building, a sweet old couple, a...

    Diezel VHX suddenly darker/muddier, volume shift? Preamp tubes?

    Okay, so I've been playing around with this amp through headphones. Finally got a cab last week. Everything sounded like I would imagine up until a few days ago. Turned it on, and it sounded slightly off. Darker, maybe slightly muddier. It still sounded pretty Diezel-y. A pretty subtle change...

    VHX no sound output to headphones?

    So I’ve got a VHX that I’ve been playing strictly through headphones for a few months, while I’m waiting for a cab I’ve ordered. I have never had an issue doing it that way. Sound quality has always been good. I went to turn it on today, and I’m not getting any sound. The red mute light is on...

    Getting a new cab for the VHX and I don’t know much about cabs

    I tried searching for answers but I couldn’t find anything. I apologize for the detail. So I’m basically brand new to cabs, the Diezel is my first independent head (I bought a used 5153 but it came with a matching cab). I’m looking at getting a 412 Emperor cab built because I’m shallow, I...
