My trip to the Diezel factory in Dillingen.

I didn't have the chance to use the new cab with my band. But I will do so this week and also use it live next weekend.

Concerning the lack of mids. I never had the feeling that there weren't enough mids, regardless which kind of cab or speaker I was using.
 
Ok. Please tell me what results you will notice in your band :)

Thanks
 
Jaymz and Scott, thanks for your replies. It sounds like I'll need to try one of those newer FL 2x12s once they make it over to the states. I haven't heard of the G12K100 before, but that would be interesting to hear. I tried a V30/G12T75 mix in the past and I didn't like it. The G12T75 just didn't work for me, so I'm running 2 V30s now. But maybe the G12K100 would be better. I've also considered mixing a V30 with a G12H30. Thanks for your comments!

Jaymz, I'm looking forward to more comments as you play the new cab some more.
 
Had the first band practice with my new cab yesterday. All I can say is :inlove:
Never had such a huge and powerful sound. I could feel every palm mute in my stomach and the attack is so insanely fast that every notes strikes you in the face even before you've finished thinking about it.
That is really the first cab I've tried that can handle all power coming from the VH4. I'm looking forward to Peter updating my VH4 which is a 2001 model. It'll sound even bigger, more open and fuller then.
I'm sure the sound will be absolutely mind blowing then. :rock:
 
C´mon guys!!! My cab sounds pretty cool! I don´t need a Diezel FL V30. :doh: :cry: :bash:

:lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

i have to miagine that for myseslf. :no:
 
Ok...i need one. But few weeks ago, i spent 26.000 euros for my new car. :D

Do you understand me now? :lol: :LOL:
 
yeahyeah, i understood it before ;)

ich meinte dass ich mir selbst auch immer einreden muss "ich brauch noch keine diezel box, so schlecht ist meine nicht" obwohlich weiss dass es nicht stimmt - aber ich hab vor kurzem ca. den selben betrag für die neue wohnung angezahlt, selbes boot. :cry:
 
You both need one...in fact, everybody on this board needs one...or two... :D
 
Man...I totally envy you! I really have to take that trip to the factory sometime too!

And I can´t take it anymore. I just sent Peter Stapfer an email about a new cab.
I already got a Diezel 4x12" FL (Vin30/MC90 XPattern) but I feel that for my kind
of music I need something even more aggressive.

My current setup is Herbie-BBE362(I love that thing, even others hate it. I don´t care!)-Xpression(use that for some chorus and delay, not much though)-4x12" FL-Ibanez RG2228 (Gonna get another one as soon as I got the cash)

But for now I want another 4x12" to match my current setup! :rock:

Absolutely! I always thought that any decent cab will do the job good enough but after I've heard the new Diezel cabs and spoke to Peter S. I completely changed my mind. Never thought that a cab would make such a big difference.
 
Had my first gig with the new cab yesterday. Overall it was ok but I never had such a good guitar sound and stage. Though we had monitors they were quite useless because they didn't have enough power at all, so I was lucky to have my rig standing right about 3m behind me. Otherwise I wouldn't have heard myself at all. We miced the G12K100 which sounded very good. I might give the V30 a try next time. Unfortunately we didn't have enough track at the mixer to use both speakers miced. That would have been great. Anyhow, all I can say is, that I very very pleased with the cab and glad I took the trip to Dillingen. :thumbsup:

that guy Sean, he seems like a cool guy (I'm subscribed to his youtube channel), but there are two things that REALLY throw me off about that guy.

1) he wants to be James hetfield or atleast he wants to mimic james' gear. It's totally fine by me to be a collector, and hell even own some of your heroes guitars and amps (I got into Diezel because of James Hetfield, and I even own a John Mayer sig strat) but there's a point where a line should be dropped, and the mimicing should end and the originality should appear you know what I mean?

2) He seems too anal and obsessed about what people say about he being a fanboy. If you're gonna be a fanboy, be one with pride, don't say thing like "yeah, I know I'm a fanboy, whatever, fuckoff, blah blah" and he says something to that effect in every video he makes. Really throws me off because you either don't give a fuck about what other say, or you pay SOME attention and make the proper corrections, but don't try to be all macho and "I don't give a fuck" when you REALLY do.

Don't want to slam the guy...... I really enjoy his videos, but I just wanted to say that. :)

Hi guys!!! :D

As for the fanboy, not obsessed...trust me I don't think I am macho. Just a was a kid who grew up lower middle class in Queens NY, and now have a dope career that I can afford all my crap (so I guess I am living out my childhood dream LOL):) I just think it is funny that there are more fanboys on the ESP board or other places but no one says over and over and over and over fanboy. LOL Yeah I say that because do you know how many death metal screamo comments I get slamming me?, so I just put it out there. yeah I am fan boy. :thumbsup: Once to piss the death metal heads I made a vid titled "Red Neck- Exact Cover" and then it was me playing the one everyone hates...Enter Sandguido LOL I got soooooo many nasty emails and comments. it was so funny. The ESP board and I had a good laugh.

I Did not buy a VH4 because James had one, I happen to walk into a store for a set up and tried it loooooooooved the cleans which I am anal about so I sold my road king, Vetta II, JC-120 and Dual rec head and bought it. I was not looking for one, as I thought the price was insane in the states, but know I see where that dough goes. :)

As for originality. I sold all my sigs, as with my band I started, I dont want to play sigs live, but i do play James-like guitars (custom shop MXII's LPC's etc, pix on my site http://www.seanydiesel.com ) Plus listen to my songs I write. They are not even close to metal or metallica. In fact Metallica is the only "metal" I like :) https://www.myspace.com/dashcamband We all have heroes or idols and teh Jamymez is mine :) Kinda like how James says he plays all those LPC's because of his heroes.

My song demos I write are more like hard rock or pop rock. Simple, to the point, and many think are catchy, or at least I think so. I write what I would want to hear. ;) :thumbsup:

Sorry for my ramble ;)

James is using all kinds of heads and combos in the studio, but I know first hand that he uses the VH4 live. James is very much obsessed with the sounds he uses, much more than Sean for instance...plus he actually rips... :lol: :LOL:

:lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: Like you can Scott? :D I am not gonna even go there what people say about your playing aight? ;) You get more shots taken at you for your gear/playing ratio than I do LOL :confused: :confused:

Sean, it's not about the playing. I was refering to James ripping it up - it was not a stab at you at all.

What me and many others don't seem to get is that you spend huge amounts on your gear, lots more than anyone I have ever seen, and you ask real basic questions about all kinds of stuff AFTER you buy that particular piece of gear - that's puzzling to me.

About my playing: We had that discussion before, and you know very well about how long I've been playing (4 years with about 1-2 hours per week on average - you do the math) and the time-constraints I work with as a single father of a 7-year old boy, with a 10+ hour a day full-time job. I play not to be the next Petrucci, but because I like to get my aggressions out that way and because I really dig it when things fall into place on a particular song. I buy the gear I buy because I can - just like you - and it motivates me to learn more.

Not sure which vids you posted as I can't see them at work, but some of them are way over a year old. I keep them up there for fun and to check them once in a while for reference.

Again, I wasn't taking a stab at you. I was just agreeing with quite a few people here that I don't understand the way you tick in respect to your gear vs. your knowledge and in the way you constantly go out of your way in saying that you are a fanboy with a smirk on your face as if you want to say that you actually aren't. Peace.
