Re: Diezel\'s *can* sound like ass too!

Weezer was on Leno tonight and their guitar players were using VH4's. They sounded like crap (my apologies to crap everywhere). The good thing about the guitar tone is that it as bad as it was, it was still better than the song.

Hung out at Tone Merchants for about two hours this last summer in the jam room with three different Diezels, a Bogner 101b, a pair of Engls and a Roccaforte HG100....
* The Bogner was killer as usual.
* The Roccaforte was maybe the rawest, best sounding in the room. Tons of fun to play that.
* The Engle Powerball was fun for about 5 minutes, the pre amp into a VHT power amp was better...
* The Diezels were lost on me....sounded like crap no matter what I did. Just. didn't. Get. It.
Now just for comparison, and I'm sure Chuck will chime in, I've owned a stoooopid number of incredible amps in the last couple of years, and there's nothing in the cast off pile that I would've traded for a Diezel, including my really lame Mesa Nomad....well, o.k., the Nomad would be a good trade but I would still feel bad [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Anyway, they didn't do it for me.
