In Addition, Diezel Amplification is very pleased to announce that we are increasing our warranty coverage on new amp purchases to 10 years to the original owner with proof of purchase. Power Tubes and Pre Amp tubes are covered for 3 months to the original owner. The amps will be tracked via both Diezel USA and Diezel Germany recorded sales beginning 1/20/2009. ALL REPAIR WORK MUST BE DONE BY A DIEZEL CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN. Not following this procedure will VOID WARRANTY. This will ensure the the original owner and us at Diezel Amplification that the work is done correctly and that there is knowledge of what is going on out there with each amp. To any second owners or more, there is no warranty coverage nor is a warranty transferable. (This policy is no different then before). Of course we at Diezel are happy to serve people who purchase their amplifier on the used market should your amp ever need servicing. Parts and labor charges will occur for our work on your amplifier as usual.

We believe in our amplifiers and want to prove that via this warranty to original owners beginning 1/20/2009. This type of warranty is unheard of and we are proud to now offer it. We hope this will give you peace of mind on your new Diezel Amplifier purchase.

Terry, if I am the original owner with proof of purchase from an authorized Diezel dealer, BUT I purchased my heads prior to 2009, please confirm that I qualify for the 10 year warranty.
thanks.

PS - sorry about the cabs

Wow, didn't expect the Schmidt was going to come out more expensive than the Einstein.


The Einstein is still the cheapest Diezel.

What about people who bought their head when they had a lifetime/1 year transferable warranty? Does that still apply to those people? I mean that's kind of unfair when you buy an amp with a lifetime warranty and get told you have 7 more years left on it. It say's nothing in my manual about being subject to change or anything. I mean, I don't mean to be a pain in the butt about it, but it just really doesn't jive.

I was wondering the same thing.

Additionally, I asked months before about how to register it to activate the lifetime warranty and got no certain answer.

Terry, could we get a little clarification? Thanks. You guys rule!

I thought prices went down when more are sold.

 

[fearhk213]

I know the street and list price for the heads was the same, but the cabs always sold lower than list. Are the cabs still going to sell lower than list?

 

[eddyrox]

Terry please clarify - most of us here purchased our Diezels BEFORE your new warranty went into effect. What does that mean for us?

 

[Duolos]

PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE......


Please relax. If you carefully read what I posted, you will see what the changes are, when they occur, so on and so forth. If you purchased your amp before 1/20/2009 you are categorized under the same guidelines as when you purchased your amp. Nothing is being taken away from original owners and the terms they purchased under. DO NOT WORRY!!!

We had to further establish some guidelines and clarify and define terms and that is what we have done for the future. We are going to take care of our clients. Nothing has changed there.

Those are the prices for all of our products. We have standard pricing across the board so everybody pays the same no matter who they get their products from. Retail and MAP are the same price on all Diezel products.

I'll have one of each....

I've been a longtime Diezel supporter and have been using Diezel amps since 2004. I love my Herbert and no other amp currently mass-produced could ever replace it.

That said, when I bought my Herbert back in 2004 it came along with a life-time warranty. Granted it is non-transferable, but it was a life-time warranty since I bought my amp new from a dealer. Why the sudden switch now to a limited 10 year warranty? I think for the price someone pays NEW for these amps, a life-time warranty should be a given.

Also, the new price-points overall have gone a little too high IMHO. Again, I have been a defender of Diezel quality and performance from day 1, and I know how costs of materials, fuel, components can effect pricing, but $1650.00 for a 4X12 speaker cab?!? Come on...

It must be lined with gold.

Seriously though...crappy dollar and a heavy ass piece of equipment to ship from Germany so I can understand the price. Sadly though, I'm a little disheartened as I was planning to buy one of the new front-loaded cabs, but now I don't think I'm going to because the price is more than I'm willing to go on a cab that I can't play before buying. It may be better than my current Bogner/Diezel cabs but without a chance to play one I don't know that it's worth me selling an Ubercab for $750 or so then adding in $900 plus shipping/tax to get the new cab.

+1, but I believe that Terry's saying (on behalf of Peter and Peter) that for those who qualify (original owner, purchased from authorized dealer) we all still have lifetime warranties.

 

[Hard&Heavy]

I can understand the Heads going up in price ,But way to much for a cab .Because I wanted to more cabs.I will really have think about it

 

[Flavatrocious]

I am sorry you feel this way and you certainly are entitled to your opinion and I appreciate you sharing it. When you compare the materials and the build quality of the old cabinets and their sound to the new ones, there is simply no comparison. The old cabs are fantastic indeed, however the new ones are immensely different and better. The materials used are imported and unavailable in the USA. These cabs are designed as instruments and compliment our amps far better then any other cab made....PERIOD. They are not cheap, I agree, however they are worth the money. Plug into one and you will never question the cost.

I find it interesting that most people who have played a Diezel cab would agree that they are far superior to a Mesa cabinet yet overseas the Mesa cab is nearly 2K dollars before taxes. Our material costs alone are very expensive in these cabinets and the sound produced by them is worth every penny. I am sorry you don't agree with our pricing structure and our costs. We refuse to cut any corners and we will continue our pursuit to make the best products out there.

You said a lot, and knowing that, my chances of buying a new cab are significantly higher. I wish you kept the lifetime warranty, but I suppose that with the company's expansion, costs would just be too much.

I hope to own a few Diezels one day!

Interesting to see the Herbert being less expensive than the VH4 now...
