Peter, Hard Question for YOU. Which Amp Do YOU Like Best?

[Joeytpg]

I actually just picked up a schmidt today!....But I think im taking the road less traveled than the few before( who like the amp for rocking/blues etc)....I am looking to mate it w/ my custom shop Badcat and Shiva for pop/rock and modern hot country tones.

Talk to me about it man.......how do you like it?

are you in the US? if so I have a VH4 I'd like to trade with you for the Schmidt if you feel like selling/trading it later on

Its arriving in a day or two..Im very familiar w/ the vh4--theres one in my avatar hangin out w/ my rear and front loads...Ill say this, I love the Einey-really great amp;but Ive found most every tone it has can be dialed in on the vh4 too..or somewhat anyway..(thats subjective of course), but the vh4 is just a beast of an amp..I actually want to use the schmidt for country rock and pop rock...im hoping it will do the trick..

if you want to sell it after you get it, hit me up, maybe I could buy it from you. (in case you want to, lets hope not and you feel happy with it)

I got my schmidt yesterday and Im really enjoying ch 2 and 3!..1 is nice too, but I cant get the reverb to work on it..Its not that big of a deal,ch 2 and 3 is where im living anyways.The reverb works fine on 2 and 3, so Peter, if youre reading this,is there anything I can check on it before I'd send it to someone for service?....

c'mon man you just got a Schmidt and that's all you're going to say?!

open up a new thread and write a review right now!


talk to me about channel 1, how does it compare to your other Diezels and other amps you've owned

 

[Little B]

Well, I can say after owning all the Diezels,this little amp smokes just like all the others...Id love to hear it w/ 84's, but for that i'd have to install yellow jackets first...I'm holding off on a new thread at least till I get the no reverb in ch 1 issue straightend out...The tube layout chart on the Diezel website is for all the other amps except that one....Peter definitely captured some great new tones w/ the schmidt that is not really in the other amps( I can line them all up w/ my lehle switchers and demo them all together)..... Its probably closest to the Einy,but nails the class a chime/ great string to string definition/nice reverb( on 2&3)/easy to get it cranked/...( my buddy-"hard n heavy" is demoing it now) Im sure he may put some kind of thread up about it too....I would like to see these showing up on the modern country/pop/rock stages,,,,,I love it- the Schmidt's a winner! ....

Maybe try 6v6's. They are similar in character to the EL84's, just less woolly and chimey.

Looking forward to the threads.
