i'm the opposite!

I prefer the Diezel (VH4) for leads, and well pretty much everything actually, although the 6505 (effectively the same as the 5150) has a massive rhythm sound for metal. Then again I have my 6506 set up exactly the same way as Andy Sneap does... ;)

I'm going to be recording the guitars for our album in 10 days time - gonna be quadrouple tracking the rhythm guitars: peavey 6505, doubled with Diezel VH4 both through a Mesa Cab panned hard left. And then exactly the same panned hard right. All clean/lead guitars played through the Diezel.

It should sound killer, but it's gonna need to be TIGHT!

Dont think you will have a problem with that!! Diezels have massive bottom end but its real tight.

Am quite impressed with channel 3 on my herbie lately - its pretty extreme.

Want to get an einstein soon, they are real nice and apparently theres a new mod on them for switching the different modes on each channel.

Have you got the stock tubes in your VH-4?

I revalved mine recently with RUBY EL34 STR's - same as it came with. but the preamp ones i replaced with TAD's which are excellent.

Yeah think Peavey kept everything inside the amp exact when EVH took away his copyright.

All they had to do was rename the amp.

I have never heard a difference.

yeah it's got the stock tubes in it still. All these sort of high gain amps have a deep or resonance knobs so they can be as bottom end as you like. I'm having a slightly more scooped tone on the 6505 and a slightly more midrange tone on the Diezel. Also using a maxon overdrive in front of both amps, tightens things up nicely :)
