Diezel guitar tones

Songs whose original tone used a Diezel. Don’t own one? GuitarToneAdapt re-creates the sound on the amp and rig you actually have.

Diezel amps (the VH4 and Herbert) are German high-gain machines — tight, aggressive and surgically controlled, with a dark, brutal low end and enormous saturation that never turns to mush. Modern metal and prog (Tool, Korn) live here. Their precision and low-end weight mean matching a Diezel tone means a tight, scooped-but-heavy EQ and lots of controlled gain.
