Beautifully made Diezel in a box

Pete-plays-guitar 17.01.2021

I am in a lucky position to have Diezel amp, the D-Moll (mini-Herbert) and I have to say that this pedal really does sound like the pre-amp of the Diezel amp.
This pedal going into my Two-notes CAB-M gives me the perfect late night silent high gain recording sound, without annoying the neighbourhood, which sadly my real Diezel set-up does. It has the Diezel mid removal sound which is switchable to give you 'that sound' (which is why you buy the pedal).
Yes it is a relatively expensive pedal, and it is a BIG pedal. I dropped two stars on the fact that you need a relatively high miliamp 12V supply to power the thing, so your standard 9v power block won't power it (unless you have 12v outputs also), which is a bit of a pain.
The presence and deep control allow you to really tweak it you your amplifier - even my Peavey Bandit. What is nice is that it has a specific output to put into the effects return of your amp or into a power amp to be a self contained proper pre-amp.
KILLER sound though! (very different to Engl, Marshall or Peavey). So very happy with it..

Un clásico de Diezel en formato pedL

AlbertoB 03.09.2018

He tenido varios Diezel , el Herbert y el Einstein, y os puedo asegurar que el pedal cumple fielmente con el sonido Diezel. El VH4 siempre me ha gustado pero por coste no he podido permitirmelo.

Este pedal recoge totalmente ese sonido gordo, con pegada y lleno de low mids y saturación que se espera de Diezel. No soy capaz de encontrarle peros. Tonazo por los cuatro costados.

La ecualización es muy reactiva y responde muy bien a los cambios, la dinámica es asombrosa y suena mejor que muchos preamps valvulares que tengo o he probado.

El pedal tiene 2 canales y se nota la diferencia; el canal 3 es el canal clásico de Diezel; abierto, saturado, denso y crujiente mientras que el el canal 4 es aún más saturado y algo más oscuro, ideal para leads.

Es muy importante usarlo con una buena etapa de potencia para que pueda liberar todo su potencial.

Por lo que ofrece, me parece más que ajustado de precio.

Der Herbert

BadToTheBone 12.03.2019

Super Teil, super Verarbeitung und super Sound.
Allerdings sind die LEDs so hell das man im dunkeln sogut wie nichts auf dem Pedal sieht. Aber wer muss schon was sehen, hier geht es ja schließlich um die Akustik ;)

classique haut de gamme

hardos ouvert d'esprit 11.07.2021

alors rien à dire c'est du haut de gamme, ça sonne d'enfer mais j'y vois un seul bémol: la pédale ne sonne pas super bien à faible volume.
le potard de volume n'est pas super progressif donc difficile d'avoir un bon son à volume de chambre de nuit du coup, quand mes enfants dorment, je joue sur une autre pédale de disto....alors en soit c'est pas un drame mais pour une pédale de disto c'est quand même un comble de constater que mon ampli à lampe en mode grosse disto sonne mieux à bas volume que la pédale mais bon...la perfection n'est pas de ce monde!
