Originally posted by TexasDeathRide I went to the North Dallas guitar center on 75 and was able to plug in and jam on a herbert through a diezel speaker loaded 4x12. I have to say i was impressed, but not $4100 impressed. Everyone who talks about them around here is basically right. The amp sounds like a very produced high gain mesa with rectifierish sag but it still plays tighter than my triple rec. The gain on channel 3 was over the top and the mid cut put chanel three into nu metal territory instantly. I still couldn't hear anything that said, this warrants twice the price of a recto. Maybe I didn't hear it in the right space or at the right distance from the cab but I went home, cranked the recto and my gas for the herbert died.
Consider that when we buy US made amps in Europe, we pay similar amounts. C'mon Diezels are import for u!!! Secondly, I haven't heard the Framus(I'm sure it is a good amp, from what people say), but surely Herb it's not like a recto. Actually the recto is not even close to Herb tonewisely and even in terms of construction! BTW Have u heard a cranked Herbert!!! :D
