Which Diezel Would Work Best For My Band?

But yes I do have a bone to pick with diezel. After not being too terribly impressed with the sound, I was won over by Terry. Furthermore the whole diezel story was intriguing and I fell in love with this idea of an honest warm hearted company that just believed in tone and giving people what they always wanted. Even though the tone wasn't as great as $5000 would have you believe, it was pretty damn good. I had every intention preaching the gospel of diezel myself.

Well after what they did to Terry, I will have no part. They're just another corporation. I'm sure this will be removed. Anything that's said against big brother will be removed to keep the propaganda pure. Almost reminds of a different germany about 65 years ago.

Given that, there's not much point in posting here anyway. I guess the battles over. No one cares, accept me.

I have no desire to defend Diezel, but as a casual observer of the PR shitstorm over the last year, it was clear that something had to give. If the issues of U.S. pricing, warranties, Dealer stock requirements, etc. were set by Diezel and DiezelUSA was just following orders, then Hicks may have a legitimate gripe. But if Hicks set these U.S. policies then he has no grounds for complaint whatsoever. Regardless of "fault", if any, the chemistry just wasn't working. And Diezel has been around for quite some time. What has it been, 15-18 years or so? That is a LOT of blood, sweat and tears, not to mention the finances and risks it takes to establish a Brand. Trust me...I know. While we as a Company, may "butt heads" with Diezel from time to time on "who's better", we admire their dedication to a quality product and obvious desire to provide solid service. Even with all of the negativity that has been going on with Diezel USA, Peter D. has been supportive and not bashed Hicks in any way publicly, at least not that I have seen. They have a tremendous investment in their Company I'm sure, and to do anything other than protect it at all costs, or make corrections as required, would be foolish, indeed. ....just my 2cents worth.

Fair enough, this is not Terry but Matt from SC. I talked via email and I am sure he is just standing up for Terry, that said nobody has all the facts other than the parties to the deal and there are 3 of those guys and none of them are us so lets assume there is more to the story.

That said all of us me included need to un highjack this thread and let the true story of the whole Diezel USA thing come out eventually from the parties concerned.
 
Thanks. I'm out. I won't bother you guys anymore. You'll never hear from me again.

Never mind, not getting involved.
 
Hellfire... And I complain about people who get caught up watching daytime soaps...!! :lol: :LOL:

This one went - WAY - outside the proverbial box... :aww:

A N Y W A Y ! ! ! Personally I think the Herbert is your best bet for the band, but as I've only seen a few clips of your music, and should there be other terrain to explore with your band, the VH4 is still a one-amp-do-all set up. I LOVE my VH4S - I cannot get bored with it. There's every tone imaginable from it - it's just righteously awesome. And true, yes, I am looking for a Herbert, but I'm settling on the Einstein 100 with a 2x12 for the in-between side of amps. Having an Uberschall TJ, I find my zeal for a Herbert perhaps less than if I didn't own the Uber, if that makes sense.

And for the record, it's "ceases", not "seases" and it's "Soldano" not "Saldano", I'm not saying, I'm just saying, you know what I'm sayin'...?

Peace, Love, Pollyanna, And Karmic Chi Energy...

Dunno what happened while i was out today, but thanks for those who got this thread back on topic.

Hey man, if you haven't been to Guitar Center in Hollywood check it out. Last time I was there they had 2 VH4s and a Herbert. Might want to call before if you do go though. Good luck!

I called them and they said there was a Herbert in Phoenix, AZ.

a bit far from Los Angeles, I could say...and they also said Guitar Center does not carry Diezel anymore. So if the get any in, they are just used trade ins.
 
You didn't happen to pick up that one that was $1000 on Craigslist the other day did you? That went in less than 2 hours!
The guy had a VH4 for $1000, and a Diezel Cab for $500 (last i heard, he still had the cab). That posted was posted at 2pm, and when i saw it and called at 4, he said he had just sold it!!

I wonder if you picked it up, since you just got it, and now have it for sale.

I just got my vh4 , it's pretty amazing. I liked the Herbert ALoT when I tried it out for as long as I liked at wild west guitars in riverside, where they have a great selection btw and don't mind you playing for awhile. I personally don't need along time with an amp to know if it's right, actually I get annoyed at people on music stores that just go in there and play for 45 minutes. It's not that hard to figure out if an amp is going to kick your ass or not, unless you are comparison shopping...the guys at wild west guitars let me plug into anything and compare cabs , heads whatever...super cool place. Anyway I tried the herbert and I knew diezel makes the best amps for metal that I have ever heard. I tried the vh4 but wasn't feeling it as much. Fast forward to last week, and I was offered a vh4 for an incredible price and I just took the plunge. I am VERY happy , gleeful guitar bliss , I can't wait till tommorow so I can play it again and pretty much every couple hours until my fingertips hurt too much to play. What's sad is I have a Mesa boogie mark v that I bought 5 months ago, that I don't even care about, I already put a couple ads up on the net to sell it for $1800, it's a great amp, but the diezel has the sound of my dreams. I would say to head out to wild west , ask for Eric , try out the diezel and see if it's your thing...

That's too funny! The VH4 I just got a few weeks ago cost me less than $3,000 and I got a warranty with it (not through Diezel). $3,100 and change is a bit steep, especially if the guy bought it for $1,000!!! That's crazy.
 
Try out a VHT UL/CLX or a Sig: X. Some of the tightest, meanest sounding gain tones I have ever heard.

So, what your trying to say is The Amp Shop in Sherman Oaks ? :D
Click to expand...
:gethim:

So....

I decided to give the amp shop a call and they said they were no longer Diezel dealers, and had no idea where anyone even gets them from since there aren't any dealers anywhere around here.
Said they haven't had anything for about a year and a half, which I guess is when I must have tried the Herbert (momentarily) there.

So no one in Los Angeles carries Diezel Amps??!

I wonder if I should open a store. I would do it right!!

Whatcha think Peter, should I open the Diezel store, like an Apple store but only carrying Diezels??
:D
 
Try Boston Guitar Works... They came to me highly recommended, so far so good.

They're online.

Peace,
V.

PS - there's a NOS on eBay for $4200 as well... I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
 
Man, I called the guy too. About 25 minutes after that was posted......and he said someone was going down to get it. Although I sense it may of been a scam, I googled the number and got some shotty results. West LA Guitar Center has an Einstein...........what about the Tone Merchants? Did you call them? I am having mad Diezel gas and need to play one....but I need to sell my Road King II. If you remember, we almost traded amps for your KR7. :rock:
 
I've always wanted a Road King. But I couldn't deal with having 2 recto's...and I have no plans on ever getting rid of my Recto...

So i guess no King for me....

still might get a MArk IV one day...but hard to justify with the Triaxis and 2:90 I have...
