Diezel VH4 (Impressions of an AxeFx model)

[Zepp88]

I demand that conversation about the Red Hot Chili Peppers cease. Not in my thread, oh no, not in my thread

And yes, Rubin produced "Licensed To Ill" when he was still doing DefJam.

Come on somebody, give this thing some crap reviews to help calm my desire for one. Somebody come out and say that Cliff ships these things out with a coupon for a 50% refund if you promise to give glaring reviews to everybody and their momma. Cause until then, I will continue to salivate out of my ears at the mere thought of getting my hands on one.

i'm thinking the same thing! haha

i mean it can't be perfect..... can it?

Perfect? Maybe.

Care to make some clips there Mikey boy?

Maybe....if I ever get around to it, I hate recording.

clips, sir.

bottom end of a dual rec with the marshall roar? do go on, do go on.

That's kind of what the Das Metall sim sounds like, pretty cool, it makes me want to try a real Diezel.

 

[budda]

makes me want to hear it!

i still want to have a go on a Splawn, as i do enjoy good tone from marshalls.

 

[Zepp88]

After getting my MP-1 I've gotten very fond of good Marshall tone

 

[Christopher]

I'm impressed by it, that's for sure.

I'm even suspecting that the tube power amp I'm using is holding the AxeFx back, like the models could shine through even better with a solid state amp.

It seems that Cliff will model anything that he can find the schematics for.

I found this to be the case in my rig. I like my Carvin DCM 600 better with the Axe Fx than the Peavey Classic 50/50 I had before.

 

[hellion]

So, how the fuck did Metallica manage to get such a crappy tone from Diezels? It could have been brutal.

James used his old Mesa/Boogie MKII C+.
Kirk used his new Randall & some of his old amps.

 

[Hawksmoor]

Wasn't the Diezel mostly used on St Anger?

Gassing for an Axe FX...

 

[technomancer]

Man you guys are killing me with these things. I am developing a serious case of GAS.

 

[Fler]

Yeah I had to give in huh, it was one hell of a fart I must say...

 

[petereanima]

Wasn't the Diezel mostly used on St Anger?

and on death magnetic too.

 

[Sacha]

I like the model more then the real amp

still a sweet amp though, just not for me.

Yeah I think I'm definitely going to have to go this route as well. Me and Nate (co-guitarist) set up some recording sounds with it yesterday and it's sounding great, so now my main concern is replicating that live. Which is making me want the Atomic cab REALLY fucking badly.

I was going to get a DCM600, but I ended up getting a TS100 instead =x

Now to save up for the Axe-FX Standard..

 

[moshwitz]

Everywhere i go I see praises for this thing,,I have GOT to get me one...

MOSHON
DAVE

 

[loktide]

VH4 ch3 = marshall rawness with incredibly thick growling low-mids

what i also adore on it is that it can additionally go from dry to saggy without losing clarity, tightness or articulation

if i could just get away with cranking it in my apartment

 

[petereanima]

daaaaamn, i just heard a clip of an axe fx with the DAS METAL model on...this is actually REALLY close to the Diezel...altough i'd say its more Einstein than VH4, but on the other hand - Einstein on Ch1 Mod3 is so fucking close to the VH4...

seems like Fractal Audio did something completely correct with the Axe FX.

the clip is HERE! from some guy on the Diezel Forum.

 

[Zepp88]

I'll check out that clip when I get home. I might also record a clip of the Hiwatt model if I can manage to get a good enough recording. THAT is an astonishing model.

 

[Fler]

I'm lucky to have a Hiwatt Custom 50 and a Diezel VH4 at home, should be interesting comparing the models to the real things. When the fucking AxeFX arrives ><

I just listened to that clip that sounds great. I haven't messed with that model much, but damn it's capable of being awesome!
