Diezel VH4 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head

Description
The legendary Diezel VH4 100W tube guitar amp head has set the standard for high-gain tone since 1994. This flagship amp from Diezel Amplification was meticulously engineered to deliver the ultimate in sonic flexibility and authority for the discerning hard rock guitarist. With four completely independent channels ranging from pristine cleans to face-melting leads, the VH4 leaves no stone unturned in its quest for the perfect rock tone.
Four Channels Provide Unlimited Tonal Range
At the heart of the VH4's versatile performance are four channels—Clean, Crunch, Mega and Lead—each with dedicated gain, EQ and master volume controls. The Clean channel produces Diezel's signature sparkling chime at lower gain settings and vintage cleans at higher levels. The Crunch channel delivers classic rock rhythm and leads in spades. The high-gain Mega and Lead channels are where the VH4's metal pedigree truly comes to the fore, with everything from chunky rhythms to searing solos on tap.
Advanced Features for the Modern Guitarist
To complement its formidable preamp, the VH4 features a 100-watt power amp driven by four KT77 power tubes, as well as series and parallel effects loops for maximum tonal flexibility. The amp also provides MIDI switching to facilitate integration into complex rigs. A global presence control centered at 4 kHz and a "Deep" control—an active bass EQ centered at 90Hz—allow for further sculpting of the VH4's impressive sonic palette.
Roadworthy and Built to Last
Housed in a steel chassis with aluminum faceplate, the VH4 is as durable as the tones it produces. To ensure many years of flawless performance, each power tube features an independent fuse and fault indicator light. Should a tube fail, the fuse will disengage that tube to allow continued operation until service can be performed. After over 25 years of tone-chasing, the legendary VH4 stands alone as an icon of rock guitar amplification.

If you were like me, you knew this amps reputation and decide "we only live once, might as well go for it!" I had never plugged into any diezel product before my VH4 arrived. I want to stress to you, if you are in the situation I was, don't stress it. You'll almost certainly love the amp. The unsung hero of the amp is definitely channel 2, everyone knows about channel 3 and it's well deserving of its legendary status, but channel 2 is just as dynamic and fun as any good vintage 2203 marshall I've ever heard or played. The clean channel is also excellent, particularly in the very dynamic edge of breakup area. Guitar Center's customer service? That's probably going to be a different story. The amp was on backorder when I got it, I was told it would be about 7 weeks in their original email, then I was told it would be another week, then another 3 weeks, but I was first in line for one. Then, one popped up available at another store. I called the guy and asked him if he could please just send me my amp, which he finally agreed to. It's not that I had a problem with waiting, but that either no one knew what was going on or they refused to tell me. I dug into it a little bit, tried contacting where north american retailers get diezels from (they just completely blew me off) and then finally got in touch with peter directly, who I shouldn't have had to bother. If guitar center really is going to cater to higher end clients, they have a LONG way to go to get to level of service that we expect and deserve.
