For me... sizzle does not equal buzz. I can't stand a buzzy sound. Sizzle is hard to explain. I would have to have a Herbert and another amp side by side and you would have to hear what I was calling sizzle. It's 'bite' and slaps you in the face. The only clip that I have heard on these forums (at least that come to mind righ tnow) that sounded like it had some great sizzle to it was a clip of a Splawn Quick Rod. Man that amps sounds like it just SMACKS you right in the face!!
The Diezel sounded like it has a very compressed high end to me.
Like a blanket over it. Other than that is was a SPECTACULAR amp!!!
Take care,

I know what you're on about, and yes I do hear that special magic in the Splawn Quick Rod. Only amps that come close are some modded 2203/2204's imho, like the FJA modded clip posted recently. I think what we are talking about is an effect of overtone complexity in the mids/highs department.
