The Metal Amp of Legends
In 1994, unimpressed with and tired of the tones available in other amps, Peter Diezel set out to create his perfect sound by building his own amp, the Diezel VH4. Once the word got out, the VH4 quickly established itself as a serious guitarist’s must have amp, making its way to the rigs of such legends as Metallica, Tool, Journey and many others. At the time the VH4 was released, it was a truly revolutionary design that offered a ton of flexibility and user-friendly features. To this day, the Diezel VH4 lives in a league of its own.
At the heart of the VH4 is a 100 watt output section coupled with four distinct preamp channels that provide everything from ultra clean tones to massively distorted madness. The four channels (Clean; Crunch; Mega and Lead) are packed with unparalleled tonality, definition and superb clarity. At lower gain settings, you can easily play with the now-classic Diezel sparkly sheen. But kick the gain up a notch and you'll take the Clean channel into the more aggressive Townshend/Hiwatt zone.
The Difference Is In The Channels
Channel 1 (Clean)
This channel was created to offer pristine clean sounds, rich with harmonics and power. Setting the gain control somewhere in the upper third range will yield a mild and warm tone. While dialing in the gain at lower settings will produce more percussive and penetrating clean sounds. This tonality is reminiscent of a cross between a Fender Twin and a Hiwatt 100, yet with a smoother dynamic response.
Channel 2 (Crunch)
A true companion for anyone who enjoys playing the blues. You can really hear this channel shine in the lower frequency range. Here you can get everything from clean to distorted and due to the different voicing, the 2nd channel can sound a bit softer than Channel 1 in clean mode while also get close to Channel 3’s tone in higher gain mode. It is here where you can access the musical raw power of the VH4.
Channel 3 (Distortion)
A Heavy Metal player’s dream, this channel is all about a tight rhythm section. With added compression, the tone in this channel becomes more limited in dynamic range, especially in the lower frequencies. This small loss is compensated for by a negative feedback loop which adds a thick low end without dirtying up the mid range. You can use the ‘Deep’ knob in the master section to have a more precise control of the lows. The gain structure in Channel 3 was built to deliver an outstanding distorted sound even with guitars that have a rather low output. You can start out with the gain at 12 o’clock and go from there while shaping your tone.
Channel 4 (Ultra High Gain)
With more mids than Channel 3, use Channel 4 to get a beautiful lead tone. This channel can really help you cut through the band and carve out your own sonic space. Feel free to set the gain around 1 o’clock to get a roaring high gain distortion that can truly soar. Using the volume control here can be really helpful to match the other channel volumes.
Extra Digital Power
Taking things a step further, Brainworx added an FX rack that contains a Noise Gate, switchable high and low-pass filters, and a Power Soak circuit that provides an easy way to tweak the overdrive, without having to boost the output gain. Another great feature that you can only harness from the plugin version of the amp is the 100+ recording chains (Impulse Responses) that were derived from a number of well known cabinets and recorded through Brainworx’ vintage Neve console with a huge selection of vintage microphones and outboard gear, all amounting to the ‘record ready’ tones instantly.

传说中的金属放大器
[tr]1994年,彼得·迪泽尔(PeterDiezel)没有对其他安培中的音色印象深刻,也对其他安培的音调感到厌倦,于是他开始打造自己的安培,迪泽尔VH4。一旦这个词出来,VH4迅速确立了自己作为一个严肃的吉他手必须有放大器,使它的方式这样的传奇钻机,如金属,工具,旅程和许多其他。在VH4发布时,它是一个真正革命性的设计,提供了大量的灵活性和用户友好的功能。直到今天,Diezel VH4仍然生活在自己的联盟中。
[tr]在中心的VH4是一个100瓦的输出部分,加上四个不同的前置通道,提供一切,从超干净的色调,大规模扭曲疯狂。四个频道(清洁;压缩;梅加和铅)充满了无与伦比的调性,清晰度和高超的清晰度。在较低的增益设置,您可以轻松地玩现在-经典的Diezel火花光泽。但是,把增益提升一个档次,你就会把清洁通道带到更具侵略性的汤森德/希瓦特区域。
不同之处在于渠道
第一频道(清洁)
[tr]这个频道的创建是为了提供纯净干净的声音,丰富的谐波和力量。将增益控制设置在第三高范围内将产生温和而温暖的色调。而在较低的设置下拨号的增益将产生更多的冲击和穿透干净的声音。这种调性让人想起了Fender Twin和Hiwatt 100之间的交叉,但它的动态响应更流畅。
第二频道(短频道)
[tr]一个真正的伙伴,任何人谁喜欢演奏蓝调。你真的可以听到这个频道在较低的频率范围内发光。在这里,你可以得到一切从干净到扭曲,由于不同的声音,第二频道可以听起来比第一频道在清洁模式,但也接近第三频道的音调在更高的增益模式。它是在这里,你可以访问音乐的原始力量的VH4。
第三频道(失真)
[tr]一个重金属玩家的梦想,这个频道都是关于一个紧密的节奏部分。随着压缩的增加,该信道中的音调在动态范围内变得更加有限,特别是在较低的频率范围内。这种小的损失是由一个负反馈回路来补偿的,它增加了一个厚厚的低端,而没有弄脏中间的范围。您可以使用‘深’旋钮在主部分有一个更精确的控制低点。在第三频道的增益结构是为了提供一个突出的扭曲声音,即使吉他有一个相当低的输出。你可以从12点钟的增益开始,然后从那里开始,同时形成你的音调。
信道4(超高增益)
[tr]使用比第三频道更多的MIDE,使用第4频道获得一个美丽的导音。这个频道真的可以帮你穿过乐队,开辟出你自己的音域。请随意设置增益在1点钟左右,以获得一个咆哮的高增益失真,可以真正飙升。在这里使用卷控制对于匹配其他通道卷非常有帮助。
额外数字电源
[tr]更进一步,Brainworx增加了一个FX机架,包括一个噪音门,可切换的高通和低通滤波器,以及一个电源浸润电路,它提供了一种简单的方式来调整过驱动,而不必增加输出增益。另一个伟大的功能,你只能利用从插件版本的放大器是100+录音链(脉冲响应),这是从许多众所周知的橱柜和记录通过Brainworx的老式Neve控制台和一个巨大的选择老式麦克风和舷外设备,所有相当于‘准备好的’音调立即。
[tr]不要睡在这个野兽的放大器,并尝试它在你的Daw今天!
