Description
Brand new 2024 Diezel VH4 head. The Axe Palace is an authorized DIEZEL dealer.
The Diezel VH4 — easily most advanced and versatile high-gain tube amplifier in history. The VH4 is a modern marvel of guitar amplification with a distinct responsiveness and array of tones that cannot be found elsewhere. The VH4 has four independent channels covering the entire spectrum of world-class guitar boutique guitar tones, multiple FX loops, MIDI control, and massive power (as much as 160W). Whether you’re into classic rock, blues, progressive rock, hard rock, metal, or all of the above, the VH4 will leave your jaw dropped.
Launched in 1994 the VH4 was a milestone in guitar amplification. The head has a powerful power amp section, 4 individual preamps, each with individual equalization and volume/gain controls and is fully midi switchable. At that time that was unique – a head which replaced refrigerator sized racks. Additionally the VH4 has serial and parallel loops and the so called channel inserts to add pedals specifically for each channel, like a analogue chorus just for clean or a compressor for crunch.
The four preamps are: clean, crunch, mega and lead. The clean channel (additional bright switch) has the Diezel-typical HiFi-clean, but with its gain pot is able to reproduce the powerful and warmer Hiwatt territory as well.
The crunch channel (also with bright switch) starts where the clean ends: warm, powerful clean sounds. Variation of the controls (volume, gain) will open the amp to sonic dimensions of semi-crunch and full crunch sounds.
The mega channel is the typical Diezel trademark sound. Nuff said. Try it, love it.
The lead channel starts, where the mega ends: more compression, more smoothness – a singing/screaming lead at its best.
The VH4 is the ultimate sound machine for numerous styles. With its deep section also suitable for many heavier styles, but also the perfect central for Top 40 guitarists looking for the whole spectrum of guitar sounds from yesterday to today. Still a masterpiece – the VH4.
Customers frequently ask us how amps such as the VH4 differ from other Diezel models like the Herbert, Hagen, etc. This is a difficult question to answer, because they are all excellent amps which excell at many of the same things, but accomplishment so in different ways. For example, they all have terrific cleans. They all have great high-gain sounds. They have immense power and punch. Usually the differences lie in the “feel” of the amp, as well as the feature set and of course voicing.
