Diezel VH4s more open mod???

[Hartmut]

That´s the taste of a designer. I don´t like
this weak treble insects pearcing Your ears without
moving the air.

Haha, this why I love my VH4! This words describe it sooo well!!! Peter, you are the MAN

 

[ericsabbath]

you could wire resistors in parallel with the gain pots do ground
something like 68k or 82k straight to their legs
if it eats too much gain, you can use a higher value (150k or 220k, for example)
maybe a 250k trimpot instead
maybe peter can chime in

Sorry but this schematic reminds me on the stone edge

I imagined that

I was just trying to show how the resistors could be wired to the gain pots
I like the opening effect of that mod in most high gain amps

I'm loving my friends Einstein on the stock ch1 mega mode!
but if it was mine, I'd probably add the resistor to the ch2, though

personal taste is a bitch

Ok!

Bato, now we come to schematics area.
Let me explain some times in Bad Steben.

Oh no problem Boss!

It´s important for me to know that. I never considered that before.
Now i´ll try some other things with the gain.
Now i completely understand your:"Weniger ist oft mehr."

Thanks a lot!

P.S.
There´s no need to explain me the schematics. I would not understand anything!

I have a Herbert not a VH4

Since i got my Herbert i noticed that the gain sensitivity off the amp is like no other amp i had before.

Using higher gain resulted in a thinner and compressed sound. After alot of fiddeling i found that using a lower gain setting and using more channel volume gave me a more open sound.

It was something getting used to, it felt like something was missing, but it made me understand more about equing and made me a far better player. Using less gain makes you hear more mistakes and forces you to play cleaner.

Ive also did the lower gain thing afterwords with engl's and soldano's, i had the same results, i got a ''Fatter and more open tone'' just find the sweet spot(just before you get more compression and fizzle, if im explaining it right)

Shadow,

please send me an email with Your serial number.

Thanks,
Peter

Sent you a mail!

Got it

And how do you run you gain?
And don´t you have the feeling to loose some distortion? More than you want?

I only need to understand some things.

I run the gain at almost 11 o´clock on channel 2 plus
after this it just adds fizz to the tone and thins it out and also more compression is added.
