    Have your say in a very ambitious project

    Devastating doom to sweet chime cleans.. 4 channel midi switched Yes accepts any common tube - Built in load / IR Somehow change the voice that the transformers impart to increase / decrease the headroom - sag. A deep control but also a secondary control that changes the response from tight...

    About to sell the Diezel 🤏 every single time ⏲️

    A couple of weeks ago my son and daughter , 7 & 10 years old respectively, were riding in the back seat of my pickup. I’m blessed with good kids - a lovely wife - our home is normally peaceful. Anyway, the three of us were on our way to town to pickup a few groceries, so I swung by and picked...

    Thoughts on Celestion G12-65 Heritage speakers

    I've got a pair along side another pair of original G12-65's in a 4X12 FL Diezel cab. All 8 ohms. They are great, really close to the old ones. It takes some volume to wake them up.. but they get rid of the icepick other Celestions can have. So if you are sensitive to that , I do recommend them.

    Please share your setting for Herbert.

    EL34BSTR’s are a must IMO … 6L6’s if you like a super tight modern sound. JJ’s KT77’s are likely the cause of most of the above angst.. Honestly I couldn’t get them out of the Herbert fast enough. They absolutely suck the life from it. Some odd settings I like from time to time, CH1- Gain...

    Home Studio Guys - Diffusion

    I built a room in our previously unfinished basement using the “golden ratios” I just added lots of absorption , bass traps in the corners and 4” / 6” panels on the walls. Insulation in the ceiling between the joists. Made a huge difference… With the treatment can actually hear what’s...

    Herbert users ch2+ or ch3

    Mk1 here, I like both. 3 has more mids and is a bit more over the top saturated. More doom. 2+ is a bit clearer - more scooped. Both have the same grind and sizzle in the breakup. Herbert is one of my favourite amps, it’s so muscular sounding with an insane chainsaw swirling overdrive...

    VH4 Clean volume very quiet vs other channels?

    On my early VH4 Channel 1 has always been quieter than the others. If you use it live keep the other channels at noon or below and it isn’t an issue.

    VHX - My VH4 channels 1 2 3 cloned.

    For those VHX users out there here are my approximations of my 2001 VH4 set where I really like it. These are set side by side through the same cab. Both amps running the pre and power tubes I prefer for each of them. Not exact but very close to my ear. This earlier era of VH4 it requires a...

    SOLD Marshall 1960B With vented t75s

    Have one of these in the A version. Absolutely killer - no harshness like the recent 75s Have some vintage 65’s and these aren’t too far off - maybe just a bit clearer.

    What's the best amp?

    Best amp … I’ve been blessed to have owned most of the well regarded amps out there - at least for a few minutes. Like angelspade said above , there are a few special ones, I’ve had some of these and moved them on , it really comes down to personal taste. For me it’s how the amp inspires me...

    For the Eclipse today…

    It was incredible what light just a sliver of the sun gives.. less than 1% even... the amount of light completely changed when it reached 100%. The time of the total eclipse depended how close you were to the center of the path. I believe it was 4 mins in the center , 2.5 mins where we were...

    For the Eclipse today…

    Top 3 amps you have played

    Diezel VHX - The best all round amp I have ever owned. Owned and still own 3 other Diezels. Peter's voicing just does it for me - not too classic, not too modern - just right where I like it. I love the complex swirl in the distortion of his amps, how it just fills the room from high to low with...

    Thinking about getting my first Rectifier, I’m slightly confused.

    Seems most do like the mod. What about it didn't you like?

    Hermansson Rev F Triple Rectifier Playthrough

    Yeah - just it’s just the way it’s hitting my ears. Seems like a ton of pick noise and nice sub lows - not much else. Unique sound for sure - OP thanks for sharing
