After gassing and all the Diezel hype i bought a Herbert 3 years ago.
I played a Engl SE e670 back then. I always found myself turning knobs, pusging buttons but never being satisfied with my sound.

Hearing clips and demos on the net helpt me to decide i wanted a Herbert. There wasnt a shop near that had Diezels in stock. I thought why not and just go for it.

Within a view months i sold the Engl. The herbert gave me everything i needed for my sound. No buttons, no eq fiddeling around etc.

Channel 1: the best clean channel i played. Warm, full and rich.
Channel 2: massive rythem and lead tone
channel 3: amazing lead channel. In combination with the mid cut it was perfect
All channels: great articulation!

I just picked up playing guitar after 6 months or so, due to work and moving i didnt have the time to play anymore.

Now i started playing again and damn, this is my amp. Just plug and play. I do have a mxr carbon copy in the loop for a little delay but thats it!
Im still so happy with the amp.

I moved to an appartment. Im not used to having neighbers. I thought i wouldnt be able to play the amp, but it delivers, even at low volumes.
At night when its not posible, i use two-notes WOS and play the amp at whispering volumes.

I just wanted you guys and Peter to know that im still enjoying the amp, even after 3 years i still enjoy it like i did the first time i played it. I see alot of gear going around now a days but im happy to have found my amp.

Who knows, maybe ill get the chance again playing the amp out doors, but for now ill keep on rockin at home and doing some studio work.


Enjoy what you have :rock:

i was really happy with everything i had, just playing again after all that time and to have missed it, i just had to share

i just picked up playing again, started again to do all the drills etc.
Not playing for a long time does alot to your ability

A great amp, great guitar, new strings and a good cable is all you need, the rest is up to the player ;)
 
I am in same boat but 8 years strong! Herbert still #1 still the tone in my head !
 
I love my herbert, i owned the engl se el34 for 18 months and had problems with it and the customer support was terrible and didnt seem to want to help me when it would breakdown. So i sold it and got another herbert and thats over 3 yrs ago and it was the best decision i could have made, im very happy with the herbert and it has become my #1 amp, I have 5 amps but the herbert is my favorite.

I remember your post on hcaf back then
I never forgot your story and it helpt going for an other amp (Herbert)
Having good service is verry important
They really kept you hanging


Both peters have given me an amazing service :thumbsup:

I just sold alot of gear
I just bought an tc hall of fame
I already had a carbon copy
Both pedals in THE loop
And im just keeping it simple from now on

I didnt get THE time to play this week but im planning on playing a couple of Hours tomorrow

THE Herbert is a simple amp(for me atleast)
No hassle with push buttons and shared eq etc
Just plug and play
Amazing tone
Responsive .... Verry percussive
Smooth lead tone
Crushing rythem
Sparkling clean

Btw i enjoy THE diezel forum THE most
One happy family
THE guys are here to help each other and are really positive to each other
