Sorry folks, but this is an amp that takes tweaking and understanding. To simply write it off as a high polished recto is bull{censored}. And it has nothing to do with the fact I own one. I could easily sell mine and be happy with my JMP... and still have the same opinions. I've lent my Herbert out to a few and everyone seems to agree that it takes a day or two to REALLY understand what it is and how to get what you need out of it. NO ONE ever said a Diezel was great because of the price. It's great because it reacts like a single channel amp, has an infinite aray of tones in it and is built like a tank. "It's not for me" posts are fine, but give the amp an honest chance, instead of having a predisposition against it. To me, anyone who simply writes insults on the price, or lame comparisons to manufacturers DOESN'T GET IT. No one ever posts a real amp review anymore. S. I agree 110% and I don't have a Diezel, and I don't want one. A friend of mine has one, and when I played it I was extremely impressed, and thought it was a killer amp, but I'm in the "Not for me" group. I feel the same about VHT's. I think you're right, now that they're in GC, it's going to be just like the kid with the Agile... "My Agile sounds better, and plays better than my dads friends real 59 Les Paul!!! RAWK!!1!11!!"

Originally posted by TexasDeathRide It's funny that overseas mesa rectifiers are just as or more expensive then diezel and they give the same "it's better because it's more expensive" response I see abut diezel I've never seen anyone overseas say that. I've got a Dual Recto, and I've had two others. A friend of mine has a Herbert, and given a choice, I'd take the Herbert hands down. Nothing wrong with Rectos, but the Herbert has a Stellar Clean, great mid gain, and it kills the Rectos for high gain. Taste is subjective, and luckily for you, you have the amp you prefer.

Originally posted by Negative K3 fan to start with, international laws were not as advanced as they are now (or when iraq was invaded), and second the us had declared war to germany before they invaded it, that made the invasion more or less legal. we're talking about different kinds of legal or illegal right now, but i guess i see your point, but maybe you should choose your 'phrasing' a little different next time you're trying to explain what you mean. We also declared war on Iraq, back in '91, then a cease fire was put in place. Then Iraq defied the orders of the cease fire, so we went back in. 100% legal.

Absolutely. My feet are also big enough to Justify having a Nice Truck My hair is light enough to justify having a table AND I don't {censored}ing care. I play what I like, and buy what I like.
