I have one. Just wanted to know if anyone feels the same, most headroom, easy to play, crushing mids and bass.
All the gain and compression you would ever need.

Everybody says the VH4..... I was playing with a drop b tuning with my band and I borrowed a VH4 for one practice and it sounded like it was choking a little comparatively to the herb.
 
This was my rig for 10 years... Every night I suffered through the clean channel.

i had one for a very brief time (2 months), and when I had it I lived in an apartment and couldn't crank it. Based on that limited experience, I liked it. I did feel it lacked the mids that I like; upper mids. But I was able to boost them via an mxr 10 band in the loop and with a ts9 up front. I also felt it absolutely needed an od up front to tighten to my taste. But again, I never got to wind it up.

I recently had a D Moll and did not like it at all. Way too soft & slow on the low end for my taste, even clean boosted with various od pedals. And the mids were too low mid oriented for me. I like that upper mid grind, and both the D Moll and the Herbert lack that.

All that aside, I would like to give another Herbert a go again someday now that I'm back in a single family home and can play at stadium level volumes if I want. I'd like to get a true sense of what it's like wound up.
 
Herbert is an amazing sounding amp. However you would usually need a small wheeled dolly to cart it from gig to gig. I think the head weighs more than most 212 cabs. LOL.

Built like a tank though, no question!
 
Those are your settings?
I might have to try cranking the treble like yours.

Just for a different tone, try the deep and Presence around 9 oclock.
Gives it a more open Marshall feel.....kinda

Bogner rig on that big stage looked bas ass by the way
 
Yes it is very heavy, mine is in a live in road case. It always sucks having to ask for help when you are playing a gig. I can't lift it by myself after lifting 4x12's for 20 yrs.
 
As long as YOU think it's the best Diezel, that's all that matters man :thumbsup:

I've run the roster of the lot... I'm a self-professed fanboi. I must be a bit bent as I dig the Hagen the most, D-Moll, and then the VH4. Herb and I never gelled, but hey, different strokes for different folks.

Groove on.... :rock:
 
I just re-acquired the VH4 this is number three. I have had 2 Herberts a Hagen 2 Paul’s and the Dmoll. The VH4 is my favorite. The Herbert is a killer amp as well. But the VH4 just does it for me. What tubes are you running in your Herbert?
 
I think I did like 6l6’s best in the Herbert. I have E34L’s in the VH4 which I think sounds great! What speakers are in your Diezel cabs?
 
The Herbert is one of those amps that can sound great when others play it, but sounds like garbage when I try.

I prefer a 6L6 loaded VH4.
 
Played them all... Herbert is my favorite.

The VH4 is sorta a jack of all trades... master of none.

For metal, accept no substitute. Herbert.
