i’ve heard about kempers crashing i suppose these could too since most of the controls are computerized but at least the tone is real i can actually tell that the whitechapel albums with kemper sound fake as fuck i’ve gotten better tones from stock plugins

what do you do for a living?

I probably watched and rewatched this video 30 times already… I really wish Diezel would release more video about the VHX!

Peter Diezel is a real amp wizard.

Davor kommt ja noch der VH Mini

Hey, I have my VH4 with EL34 BSTR’s, and I have to say I prefer them way more over the KT77’s. I am very sure the VHX at Thomann will give you what you want.

@@173118804 Thanks for the info!!

It does the Herbert mk3. I have both the VHX and a mk3 and I can replicate the mk3 easily. Classic-1 on the VHX is the Herbert. Actually, you can go beyond the Herbert with the VHX. There are settings on there not found on other Diezel amps.

@@SluggerStark Are there any KZfaq videos of how heavy the VHX can get in the “beyond Herbert” mode?

@@TroyPosey No idea man. I just know it can because I play mine all the time. I am not really a "broots chugg life" player anymore, but I tell you that if you set it to "Modern-0" which is the tightest + most modern/aggressive setting and either engage the midcut or onboard eq, it gets absurd. And stays together really well if tuned below C.

no. The amp as the current version being sold is completely mono.

@@RichiAtlanticWind I just hope for a VHXS now...

Yes, also the back one are programmable in level and mix per preset

@@politoleo thank you and merry Christmas 🎅🏻

@@Markusaldrich thank you and Merry Christmas 😊

It mutes shortly when you change GAIN as it's relay based so it can be recalled within a preset instantly.

@@politoleo I know. So, if I'm playing live and move the gain, it cuts out. That's a huge fail.

@@mars6433 you wouldn't need to move it because it's already stored so you just need to press a button on your midi controller an it will load everything with no cuts. If you need it while actually playing the guitar pot is what is usually used.

@@mars6433 do you switch patches in the middle of a riff when playing live?

@@wabisabi7399 Even if it would that would be instantaneous (30ms), while phisically turning the knob has an additional fade in and fade out to make it nicer since it's likely you would turn it multiple times in a very short period (like in the video)

Another solution, to have in the global settings an option to turn two power tube off, so it would force to reduce the wattage to 45-50w without removing any tube, and it could set back to 100w, so we can adjust the wattage according to the usage, venue size, etc…

And to me fender sounds like he'll. To me Marshall plexis sound like weak, bumpy, smooth, mid oriented, no bass, tinny, and like 1968 music. I like Clapton, I like Van Halen and Jeff Beck. Bit to me, there is a whole world beyond 1980s hard rock. This amp is for metal, and extreme metal. And also does versions of Clapton, Beck Van Halen, Extreme , Marshall 1959 super lead. Even Van Halen advanced and improved his tone since 1978. He did 5150s. He did the Stealth with 3 channels with fender. He made better sounding guitars later after the original Frankenstrat. He said even the $25,000 replicas sounded better. He made guitars with 3 guitar companies after 1978. This Diezel is a high performance state of the art high gain amp. It does tons of things a Two Rock and Fender and Marshall can't do.i like those 3camos two. Bit I like currentvhighbgain amps, too. I have a Herbert M2 amp and I love it. And even if I get the new VHX I'm going to keep the herbert. Because it's great, too, for my tastes What are your preferred amos, and tastes in amps? Something smoother?

Your preferred amps*

I like Petrucci , and music man guitars, too, and the Mesa Mark amps too. What do you think of petruccis signature jp2c amp? Take The Time is my favorite Dream Theater song.

@Diezel Vh4 You need your ears checked, bud. Or you've never heard a Plexi. I played all Diezels except the latter ones like the Dmoll and they sound nothing like a Marshall. Diezels are too compressed to sound like a Marshall. To me it's an amp for rich 15 year olds so they can do their drop D bubble gum music all day.

App will be released very soon, it has also Bluetooth.

@@politoleo 🤯👍

@@politoleo Do you know if there will be a possibility to split signal and send the full analog dry signal to the power amp and send the digital wet signal to a loop out to another speaker? Ideally I would love a stereo VHX (like the VH4S they did in the past), a VHXS that would have 2x 50w power amp and could have either stereo signal or maybe even dry/wet signal... that would be PERFECT!

@@Spidouz you can place both of the 2 loop anywhere you like, before or after any FX and in any order. Then at the same time you already have the DRY that goes to the analog Poweramp and the IR can sim (that can be bypassed as well) one that goes out from XLR out and that can be used with the PA system or to record. Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but may already work out of the box. Also the loop can work as send only too, so you may use them to split the signal to 2, dry to one Poweramp and wet to the embedded one.

@@politoleo awesome features. Now I’m just hoping to get a 50w version, or a stereo version with 2x 50w like they did with the VH4S… either way would work for me. Do you know if we can’t just unplug 2 KT77 to drop the power from 100w to 45-50w? I really don’t want to blow my 60w cab… and also don’t need 100w!

This amps are not just Metal Amps... they amps that can do so much more than just Metal. And they proved it in this video doing all kind of music genre, to show this amp can be used by everyone, including blues and rock players.

Teach him how to eq it right lol

Tone is subjective; one could think the Spider sounded like crap in comparison to the VH4 because tones and opinions are subjective… while component quality, quality of build, etc.. are totally objective and no one in his/her right mind would think Diezel is bad quality.

@@Spidouz In all fairness he probably didn't know how to eq. I guess tone is technically subjective, but most people seem to agree on what sounds good.

It depends. If you try to replicate a tone from a known song, then yes we can all agree if it does match or not. But if it’s for your own song, then you will surprised of different opinion about any given tone. I worked in pro studio and we had all the nice gear you can imagine, so I thought it would be easy to dial the “right” tone, and then I discovered that each guitarist has different taste, different hearing… some will like more bright than others (maybe older ears that don’t hear highs that well). Also compression could be a thing really hard to hear for some people; and finally it will depends on the kind of music you’re listen to. Someone that listen to blues all the time will have hard time to really hear all nuances in high-gain tones. And someone that listen to metal all the time might have hard time to hear all nuances in clean or edge of break up tones. We’re all human and we can’t know it all… and gear head (like most of us) often fall in the rabid hole to focus on the gear instead of the musicians. All the best gear in the planet won’t help if the musicians are bad. Good musicians will improve the overall tone without even tweaking gear to make it sound better. When a band is locked in tempo and play great, it will sound great regardless the type of gear. Long story short: it depends… so just use the gear you like ;)

@@Spidouz I agree that some musicians are so good that tone doesn't really matter that much. I guess good tone is subjective, but it does seem like most people agree on what sounds good or bad when they hear a tone. At the gig where my friend had a vh4 and the other guitarist had a line 6 spider, my musician friends who were with me all agreed that the line 6 was sounding much better than the 4k dollar vh4. I'm sure he just didn't dial it in well. It sounded like bass and gain were at 10 and the mid and treble were almost non existent
