Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Diezel’s 180-watt Herbert MKIII is a tube amp head with independent Clean, Crunch, and Lead channels, each with its own EQ. The clean channel offers volume, treble, middle, bass, and Mid Cut control; channel two uses a dual-voice +/- toggle; channel three is the high-gain channel. Two switchable master volumes make it possible to keep separate overall volume settings ready. MIDI programmability, patch store/mute functions, and parallel plus serial effects loops suit rigs that need repeatable switching and routing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage rigs that need programmable channel, volume, effects, and channel-two voice changes.
- Players who need separately EQ'd clean, crunch, and lead channels in one head.
- Effects setups that use either a parallel loop or a serial loop.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a lightweight amp head for frequent transport.
- Players seeking a lower-powered amplifier than 180 watts.
