In Praise of the Diezel Big Max

Does the big max do high gain? I thought the Paul was the Marshall sounding Diezel and the Big Max was more of a clean pedal platform.

Oh yea it does high gain all day bro.
I think that’s why there isn’t more on these out there. Misconception about it being a pedal platform only. It screams man. YouTube and you’ll see some good vids
 
I've been with this amp for about 3 days now and I continue to be impressed by it. I'm telling you guys, this thing is incredible. Traditional Diezel tones, thick and bold, or if you want more OG Marshall tones, dial down the bass and depth and you're right there. Sounds like a JCM800 on steroids. Feels very good under the fingers and the FX loop typical for Diezel is fantastic. I cannot believe this amp isn't making more noise.

I've had this amp for 18 months and I completely agree. Flies way under the radar. The terrible name doesn't help and the misconception (which I originally had) that it's just a clean pedal platform amp. This one really works because it kind of sounds like a Diezel blended with a Marshall which is something that tons of guys do anyway (blending VH4 with a Marshall)

Agree 100%. Really great sounding amp. Best Diezel I’ve had and at a great price
 
I was so close to pulling the trigger on one earlier this year when I found a Hagen on sale. Hagen was an amp I had about 8 years, sold it and regretted ever since so I could not pass it up. But would still love to get the Big Max one day.

Can you switch between the lo and hi inputs with an A/B switcher on the Big Max?

There’s a noticeable volume increase when switching to the High sensitivity so I wouldn’t think so.

I actually got bad news today. I may have to sell this baby. We were in the hurricane a while back and I’ve got some insurance damage / deductible stuff to pay for.

Yuck
