Peter Diezel remains dedicated to hand crafting the premium
guitar amplifiers that made Diezel Amplification
what it is today.
Diezel
Amplification defines the absolute state-of-the-art for modern
high-gain multi-channel guitar amplification. Whether it's the
tried-and-true VH4 that has already cemented its status as one
of the great high-powered heads of all time or the new
groundbreaking Herbert, you are sure to find unbridled
inspiration the moment you plug into these works of art. The
Diezel VH4 and the Herbert models all feature superb unmatched
tonal versatility and signal-routing flexibility, but unlike
modeling amps or other multi-channel amps that try to mimic
other classic amps, the Diezel amps retain their own distinctive
sonic signature no matter how you set up the amps. These amps
are designed for the players looking for their own unique style
and voice. Diezel amps are for players who are tired of the
ordinary or what has come and gone. These amps are for advanced
and experienced players who are most interested in finding their
own signature sound than mimicking other amps and sounds of
other players and "stars".
The most striking
characteristic about the Diezel sound is how clear and defined
it is while retaining musicality and warmth. No, Diezel amps
won't quite give you a 50's Tweed purr or the bark of a genuine
60's Plexi. Instead, it will take those sounds as a starting
point and give those sounds the modern twist: more headroom;
more low-end punch; more tonal balance between the lows, the
mids, and the highs; more gain that retains clarity; more
definition that articulates every nuance and touch of your
playing; more punch that cuts through the mix with authority;
more balls that gives you the big sound that you've always
craved; and more sustain with greater dynamics. Don't look to a
Diezel if you just want approximations of different amps in one
package. This is not the point of the Diezel design. From clean
to bluesy to crunch to singing sustain to brutal over-the-top
metal, each kind of sound is Peter Diezel's vision of what that
sound should be. Diezel amps are quite
unforgiving. What does "unforgiving" mean in the context of a
guitar amplifier? It means that it amplifies every little nuance
of your picking attack and your fretting hand movements with
startling unforgiving detail. Every missed pick attack and every
little brush stroke of your fretting-hand fingers changing
strings will be amplified quite clearly. If your technique is
not quite immaculate or clean, Diezel amps will expose those
aspects of your playing to your audience. You won't be able to
hide behind the buzzy distortion or the squishy dynamic response
of most other amps. But if you've worked many years and decades
honing your technique and you are more interested in getting
across your personal style and characteristics of your playing
to your audience, Diezel amps will do so with awesome authority.
You worked hard for many years to develop your own personal
style. Why simply mimic other players' styles and sounds? If
you're ready to step out on your own as a serious guitarist with
your own style and voice as distinctive as your face and your
thumbprint, the only serious choice is a Diezel. Find out who
you are as a player with a Diezel and then find out how good you
really could be.
