NAD Diezel Herbert MK3

[Simon Dorn]

The mk3 is much more clear in the midrange for sure. It’s also quite different between channels 2 and 3 vs the mk1/2. Channel 2 on the mk3 is where it’s at for rhythm tones, while channel 3 has much more midrange and is better for leads. I like them all personally but the mk3 is a welcome change and not worse by any means.

I found channel 2 and 3 to be pretty close, other than more gain on the third channel

Yes. Shipped it already.

What happened man?

 

[Simon Dorn]

Im definitely curious and wanna hear some clips, i've heard the same things from multiple ppl about it

What happened man?

I did put the Decimator X and the TS9 in front of my Marshall.

You should try it. It's a very nice Amp.

Which do you prefer more for heavy rhythm playing?

 

[Soundstorm]

Really digging the Herbert Mk3 here. I'm positive either that or one of the other versions will be my next amp. Still waiting for my Matamp to come in, but I might just flip it as soon as it does. The Herbert just has THE sound for me. I prefer it to the Marshall here.

Gibson 68 custom. I have no experience with Wizard. Many people say Wizard amps are raw, organic and punches hard like Mike Tyson. That's why I want to try Wizard.

Hell razor mixed with Hermanson marshal
Together . Best sound on earth

Channel 2 by a mile. I couldn't get along with channel 3 on either the Mk1 or Mk3. The gain is grainier and the voicing is a bit harsher. I agree it can be fine as a dedicated lead channel.

 

[anomaly]

Sounds good. Very close to that Marshall.

I guess 2+ would have been it for me also, But Channel 3 would work as well.

Really?????? You thought this after hearing them mic’d up?

Really?????? You thought this after hearing them mic’d up?

Yes, the CH3 is like the CH2+ just a bit more gain and tad more aggressive.

I would use the CH3 for thick Modern Metal stuff with a boost and the 2+ for the rest.

Great amp, i'm very grateful to have one.

No. I heard it standing in front of the amp.

 

[VESmedic]

No. I heard it standing in front of the amp.

Yea, they aren’t even remotely similar in my opinion. Especially compared to how similar channels 2 and 3 are on the mk1/2. Even those are pretty different in feel and response, but channel 3 on the mk3 is definitely much, much more mid forward than channel 2, so much so that I was quite disappointed with the mk3 compared to the mk1 until I realized this. Channels 2 and 3 on the mk1/2 you could use either For rhyrhm tones, not a chance I would do that with the mk 3 on channel 3.
