THE AMP I'VE ALWAYS WANTED! DIEZEL VH2 AMP DEMO!

[@belligerentamateur]

Herbert own a VH2, but does VH2 own a Herbert? Great stuff dude.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Soooo many missed joke opportunities haha

[@DSchea]

Does Herbert own a Herbert?

[@aidencantrell8534]

Einstein owns a herbert and a Vh2

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Awesome description of the amp. I played thru a diezel dmoll..at guitar center and it blew me away so the dmoll..is damn good too

[@deepend69]

I recently purchased a vh2 because it was advertised as having a great clean and the famous channel 3 high gain channel of the vh4. The vh2 ch 1 cleans were great but ch2 was not what I hoped it would be. Tonewise, it was good but gain wise, it sounded more like a fuzz pedal than a distortion circuit. The attack for rythm guitars was not percusive and defined; it was more of slow farty sound like a fuzz. Good for solos but not for rythm chugging. Didn't work for me so I returned it.

[@pumpkins6293]

had the same problem...mine had kt77 ....fuzzy , not defined , no clarity mids congestion...i changed for 6L6 with a tad 7025 in V1 and then more open sounding , no fuzzy at all , a lot of of clarity....was about to sell it for a vh4 .....not anymore

[@sqlb3rn]

Imagine being able to physically go to an actual music store and play this amp. KZbin is the new gear store.

[@timec818]

I thing you still have too trying them out before just say that's not for my. Get the Manuel first and reed what the knobs doo before your testing amps And next some a homeamps and some a NOT! If you so you have to have Marshall pb100 or som thing that way

Making a big mistake using You Tube for tone samples.

Thanks for the Awesome Review Ray!!! Right On!!!!

[@zacharymicah]

Them's some fast fingers there! More than the sound, just listening and watching you play with all of your facial expressions is what does it for me! Keep on riffin' and shreddin'!

[@dr.cronik0_038]

Dude so happy to see you get your dream gear!!

[@Hello-dy1gh]

First off, I want to say “Thank you for your service”! I know your mind set even though you do a great job fitting into civilian life.😉 I enjoy watching and listening to your feedback as far amplifiers and guitars. I can tell you spent years (woodshedding) playing amps and guitars under your father’s watch. I also want to congratulate you on receiving a contract with a record label and becoming recognized for your artistic ability. Amazing job, keep up the good work!

[@chrisday5341]

Solid man! Glad you got to have a shot at this one!

[@omegasunn]

I've wanted this amp since it came out, and not 1 review (there's a Diezel vid but nothing else substantial) of it. Then one of my favourite KZbinrs has it on their channel?!?! Thank you !!!

[@avrahampatino2580]

That smile man! Same feeling I have every time I plug into my VH4 🤘🏼

[@SimmoPlaysGuitar]

Hey Ray always love your vids man👍 I’m also a Diezel addict , since the day I purchased my VH4 it still blows me away every time I plug into it . Being in the room with one cranked is really something to experience 👍

[@Breathemusic4202]

I have a brand new Herbert Mk3 if you ever want to trade! 2 hours on it.

[@angelofantrazzo]

I have an interesting combination I use. I have a Mesa 4x12 and I put the V2 through one set of speakers then I put my 1993 boogie triple rectifier through the other set and blend both amps coming out of one cabinet. It’s mammoth sounding.

[@sethkennedy2765]

You know its getting real when he smiles less but breaks out the stank face...sounds great, that LP sounds fantastic thru that amp

[@MatthiasBuesing]

Being a german I would be proud to like Diezel amps. Actually they are not my cup of tea, maybe because of their gain structure - exactly what you described Ray ;-) BTW: I doubt that Neural DSP modeled a Diezel amp until this day....

Love this video! Love my Diezel VH4!

[@Crowbar11115]

I was hanging with a Producer friend and we stumbled upon a Diezel at Guitar Center. Dude...dude. We spent close to an hour throwing EVERYTHING we could at that amp and every note sounded amazing. 8 String stuff sounded so full and round, 6 string stuff chugged for days. Clean tones sounded 3D. By far the best sounding amp/cab I've ever heard in person

[@realtruenorth]

Which model?

[@Crowbar11115]

@@realtruenorth VH4

[@FastRedPonyCar]

I was (still am) considering one of these but ultimately ended up getting a custom SLO 50. No regrets but I still want a VH2 but my time borrowing a friend’s Quad Cortex was seriously impressive but they desperately need software to edit.

[@UseTheSupeRsonic]

Maybe it’s the mic, but this tone literally sounds like a transistor radio.

Herb, the hero we have not the one we deserve! Great riffs Ray love hearing your playing on the videos. You always seem to have great tones regardless of the gear your using. I assume you play into a loadbox and not a standard cab with a mic. Mabey give us a behind the scenes of how you capture your tones.

[@harshtruth9148]

great demo brother. Hey why u decide to cover your left sleeve? U dont have to answer if its personal

[@SluggerStark]

Yup, definitely reminds me of my old vh4....which I thought would be the "grail", but never dug at all. Your playing is great as always, but this definitely isn't my fave tone I have heard you dial in. Something about that vh4/vh2 compression and over-bigness that can't really ever be dialed out. You either love it or you don't. That said, I would like to see you demo a Herbert. Different beast!!

[@mikepringle3275]

I added a MXR EQ to my VH2 and now I love it. I am not sure why he mentioned the amp is not tight or articulate because it is articulate and has some of the tightest and hugh lows I have ever heard. My VH2 makes my Mesa Mark V sound thin

[@SluggerStark]

@@mikepringle3275 Ya, I never found the vh4 to be loose, I agree. It would be up there with the tightest amps I have owned, which would include a mk4, mk5 and vht Pittbull Ultra-lead. And it had waaaaay more low end than any of them; actually astounding how huge they can sound. That said, it just was not for me. Probably would have been 15 years ago.

[@MauricioGarcia-mk5bz]

Best amp ever!!! Congrats! Btw....don’t give back that amp. 🤣🤣🤣

[@diezelvh4133]

This amp has so many mids, you can not dial it in to adam jones settings. This amp also cuts better than any amp you will ever play. It will drown out a cranked Marshall with ease.

Hey Ray, what do you run your tube amps through? I know it isn't the cab you have, is it the UA Ox Box? Just curious cuz (just a little sidenote, the amp sound disgustingly good even through whatever your running it in) it seems to....idk cut off certain frequencies that enjoy hearing from an amp that makes it sound fuller. By the way, you are one lucky bastard to try out a Diezel I am jealous!

[@madmonkey7411]

I love your videos man keep it up. I also have a question, are there any amps that are similar to Mick Thomson Rivera KR7 or do you know any? I really want to get a Slipknot like guitar tone but I don't really have the money to buy a 3k $ amp and cabinet 😅

I might be coming late to the party but you have chosen the worst type of pickup for the VH2. It's older bigger brother hates active pickups. VH4 is one of those amps that had been built for a passive pickup in the range of 7-10k ohm max. The amp is so damn compressed that playing an EMG into it sounds like a beehive.

That's fucking loud man. My diezel vh master stays around ten o'clock. Much past that and drummer like he's mmiming, looks like he's playing, but no sound can be heard. Almost all venues also have limits what you can and cant do. Even if they dont, i think it's unprofessional to be too loud.
