Diezel VH4 Distortion Pedal Review

Sweetwater's Nick Bowcott presents the Diezel VH4 distortion pedal. Based on the formidable high-gain tone of the VH4 tube amplifier, the Diezel VH4 Pedal delivers all the high-intensity distortion you can handle. Specifically based on the VH4's "Mega" channel, the VH4 Pedal starts with wide-ranging controls for Gain, Treble, Middle, and Bass. From there you'll be able to explore a vast soundscape with the Presence, Deep, and Master controls, shaping low-end girth and midrange bite for just the right amount of sonic intimidation. Essentially, the Diezel VH4 Pedal puts one of the most revered metal amp channels on your pedalboard.

good to see Nick's videos appearing - good to have a metal guy at Sweetwater!

This old metal head loves some Nick Bowcott! Thank you Sweetwater for letting an actual metal head demo a distortion pedal.

This pedal is just another level of *BRUTAL* and I need it! Awesome demo!

[sraeder]

I just purchased this pedal! This guy is awesome, very thorough and a lefty!! 🤘

[JAFOpty]

total actual playing time in this demo is like 45 seconds...

[TheThinker]

Excellent demo of how the knobs affect the sound! Thanks!

[koerd]

I used this pedel in a randal r45 in the effects loop and sounds pretty accurate

[ThursdayMonkey]

Great demo Nick! I’d love to know how that would sound through a Mesa Cali Tweed amp 😛
Im curious if I could get that thing rockin?🧐😎

Matt bellamy from Muse uses The Diezel Vh4 which is Ofc pretty hard to find but really expensive it was his Fav high gain Sound so imma use this with two Jhs Angry charlies to get that Modern Higher gain Marshall Jcm800 Sound which is what Mr bellamy has And some Fuzz like a Op Amp Big muff or so :p

Nice! A $300 Metal Zone with even MORE fizz. Absolutely stupendous.

8 minute gear video, 6+ minutes of talking. Also, the sound of necklaces clinking together in the lapel mic was really distracting.

Pedal sounds killer, though.

[brianjackson]

opening riff sounds like Subliminal by ST

[MK-ozlf]

Can you blend the crunch of the pedal with a mid dirty amp?

[stimpsonjcat]

So to get that low end sound just use a eq after the preamp and boost at 90hz

[guitarboy]

Why would u put this in the front of the amp instead of the effects returned. Also why would u use a blackstar to demo it

[mvyper]

So can you use it straight in your DI with an IR?
