Diezel VH4 - How many versions and which is 'best'?

[Higgs]

Yeah, you're right and it's similar to a '96 Blueface, but the '96 had 4 prongs with a dipped cercamic disk and a Wima, on the right side a 100k resistor, on the new one you fine 3 cables and 3 prongs, a wima cap and a 33.2k resistor on the right side. And another change I've noticed, maybe you can tell me what's going on there because I don't know hahaha on that clean channel tone stack, above the two vertical caps they changed the resistor from a 680 ohm to a 2.2k.

Based on your description, the one you're asking about is probably the cathode resistor for the input stage. There have been a couple other additional values for that resistor, depending on what else is going on with that first stage in each revision.

It seems like you are the one than can help me. Could I send you a pm here tomorrow?

Im not sure if you have succeeded comparing your amp to an older model but i have been looking for someone who would be open to share photos of his newer one. I have an old VH4, im more than glad to take it out from it’s case and take a few photos if we could compare it to your newer one.

Could you send me some pictures in detail via pm to compare it to mine? I'd like to see the values of the components. Thanks.
