Diezel VH4-2 Pedal

Eftersom jeg har haft to af disse pedaler i hænderne og returnerede den første, vil min anmeldelse dække mine overordnede indtryk, ikke kun min mening om den anden jeg fik sendt.

Den første VH4-2 pedal levede overhovedet ikke op til mine forventninger. Den lød sådan set fint nok, men når den var sat til gav den en hyletone selv når den skulle være bypassed, og den sendte en mærkbar strøm op gennem min signalkæde og op i guitaren. Efter at have isoleret fejlen til pedalen, blev den pillet fra og sendt ind til Thomann for reparation. Det endte så med at de sendte mig et nyt eskemplar i stedet.

Den anden pedal er en drøm. Den er absurd dynamisk, har masser af gain at byde på, og lyder bare kanon. Master-kontrollerne kunne godt give lidt mere rækkevidde i den lave ende, men ellers ikke meget at klage over. Der er tre blå lysdioder, som bruges til at vise om pedalen er aktiv eller bypassed, og hvilken kanal er valgt. Alle tre lysdioder lyser meget kraftigt, så de tydeligt kan ses i mørke. Måske endda lige lovligt kraftigt. Jeg har indtil videre kun brugt den som preamp, men den kan også bruges som en almindelig forvrænger-pedal. Ulig en Diezel VH-4 forstærker har pedalen her dog ikke forskellige EQ-sektioner for hver kanal, men omvendt er der heller ikke plads til at have 5 ekstra knapper i fronten...

Overordnet en megafed pedal, så længe man ikke modtager en defekt enhed.

The pedal plays great, depending on your amp it might sound better either in the front or in the FX loop as a preamp, try both and see how your amp reacts to each one.

You get channels 3 and 4 from the VH-4 amp and they really sound great when i plugged it into a marshall tube amp, I mostly stick on the 3rd channel because i hardly ever play leads anymore but that 4th channel has enormous amount of gain on tap for leads.

The only thing that's "bad" about it is the loud click switches, i like the soft ones more, but that's hardly a complaint.

I'd been searching forever to find a pedal that delivers realistic high gain or metal sounds. This preamp/pedal nails it! It doesn't sound fake or fuzzy in a bad way ..at all. You can use it as a preamp into an amp or fx loop or in front of the amp like a typical pedal, which is what I do. I'm really happy I purchased it.
It would be nice if each channel had its own eq but that's a small detail.
In the end, it gives me a true high gain amp sound in a pedal by one of the most desired and respected names in amplifier production.
It sounds like a Diezel, because it is a Diezel

Best Hi-gain pedal ever. Great for punk, metal, hard rock. But can also get quality classic rock sounds. Lots of tonal options. 2 channels. Great if used in front of the amp but amazing if used through the effect loop (return). Only con is if you want tu use with multiple pedals but connecting VH4-2 through effects loop and every other pedal through the front of the amp, you are gonna need a switcher pedal and lots of cables to run it because VH4-2 runs as an independent preamp.
