I bought my first Diezel amp this weekend (Friday) from Chuck Levin's! I drove up early Friday morning to beat the snow storm and was one of the only people in the amp section of the store for a long time. This was great as it gave me a couple of hours to just test drive and compare both the Herbert and VH4 floor models. I'd read a lot of forum threads comparing the 2 amps and listened to several posted recordings, but it was really nice being able to just spend some time comparing them side by side.

When I began considering purchasing a Diezel I was more interested in a VH4. After a lot of online research though I decided a Herbert may be a better fit for me. Sure enough, I found myself a little more drawn to the Herbert in the store too. Unfortunately there was a problem with the floor model as the 3rd channel started popping and clicking after a half hour of play. Pretty soon the other 2 channels joined in and they brought out a new unit. There were a couple of points when I thought I was going for the VH4 but I ended up going with the Herbert! :)

My Mesa is cowering behind it in the picture, since I haven't gotten a case to fit the Diezel yet. :)
 
beautiful amp! ;) welcome aboard! Now sell the Mesa and you'll have cash for a matching cab :rock:

Congrats!

I was in your shoes about a week ago. I was about to take the Herbert, but I decided to go with the VH4. Though, I still want a Herbert as well! :)

I did a little research on those amps named after a table. They're great for guests to eat on and make a great door-stop. :D

Please call the store manager to replace V1 on the floor model.

Thanks,

No sir I have not yet. That could be interesting. I'm a lot more excited about running it and my friend's VH4 side by side. Honestly, so far the Herbert has out-shown the Mesa by so much that I'm not even tempted to try mixing the two. Perhaps that's juvenile of me. Maybe I'll give it a go before I toss the Mesa on Ebay. :)

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes! And yes, thanks Peter. I made sure to inform the floor manager of the malfunctioning Herbert (twice) before leaving.
