The D-Moll landed and it is going to be an awesome addition to the fleet. Only had a quick run through the channels but am already digging channels 2 and 3 with the mid cut. Sounds a bit like the Herbie I remember. One thing I noticed right off the bat is how nicely the bottom end tracks with this amp on all 3 channels without getting flubby. Lots of layers and texture to the gain structure. And, it is quiet. Got her on run out in the cave, hooked up to a Mesa 412 Recto just to get the tubes heated and seated while I finish re-wiring my Diezel FL 412 with V30's. Clips in a couple days after I get sorted.

Cool, loved my Einstein and have been considering this v2.0...

That's what I was thinking it was, awesome.

Do you miss Herbert's headroom? Assuming you owned one at one point lol.
 
This is the amp I am most interested in by Diezel ..... seems like a great balance of his previous work.
 
Dmoll sounded killer when I tried it.
Would love to ad one to the diezel collection.

I have had a Herbert and played the VH4 for several years. I fought off the urge to replace one or both for the last year waiting on the D-Moll. Now, I don't see any need. Tomorrow, I will throttle the D-Moll up and peel some plaster off the ceilings and do a head-room check....

Interested to hear what you think of this head at full tilt. Let us know what cab(s) you're running her through too please :thumbsup:

Balls, crunch, crushing and very controllable gain. The overall tone of the channels is really responsive to the amount of gain you set by changing the compression. Also, each channel having its own channel master and overall master, gives one more bit of output control. Being able to control output vs. preamp masters gives it a large pallet of possibilities. Which, is one reason I like the serial loop over the parallel loop in this instance.

Channel 3 and channel 2 seems similar in terms of gain, with 3 having a bit more, but 3 being more open and voiced a bit brighter. Being they share EQ, this is a good thing and makes it quite easy to dial up. Unlike some 2.5 channel amps that cannot seem to strike a good balance.

This amp has the Herbert MKII trannies in it and is just explosive.

Running it with a 412 Mesa Recto cab and V30's. Will give my Diezel front load a go today. But, I am thinking that is going to tighten it up a little too much. The amp is tight enough on its own. It is most definitely a V30 voiced amp though.
