New to the Diezel fam. Share some Herbert settings please.

I love my new Herbert. It's my dream amp, but its missing something from the one I played a GC. It currently has 4 KT77's and 2 KT88's vs the other one I played had EL34's. I play through a Randall KHX with V30's and t75's in an X-pattern. Maybe I don't like KT type tubes. Maybe the Herbert doesn't like the G12T75s. It doesn't sound as crunchy and saturated as I hoped. How do you guys run yours?

Which GC were you at?

Put EL34's in the amp and then make another thread thanking me....

I use the jjEL34s and it sounds pretty massive. Try some. Forgive my English.

I only use SED EL34 Winged C. Best qualtiy in sound and everything else you are looking for.

I had JJ's in my Herbert and they cracked after two months. So Peter replaced them and they broke up again. Finally he installed these SED EL34 im talking about for free and I have no issues till today. I am so thankfull.....thanks Peter D.

EL34s or 6L6GCs are my preference. I don't like KT77s in general. Also go with the Ruby 12AX7C5 in the preamp. I'd buy a whole new set of tubes power & pre and rebias the amp. I use my Herbert with the same speakers and it sounds great. If anything the cab itself may also not be gelling with Herbie.

HB, try out some JJ-E34Ls, you'll be pleasantly shocked.
