Description

Achieve the legendary tones of a genuine Diezel VH4 amplifier with the Diezel VH4 Plugin Alliance, a meticulously crafted amp simulator plug-in. Its four distinctive preamp channels unlock a vast spectrum of sound possibilities, ranging from pristine cleans to roaring high-gain leads. Channel 1 delivers lush, clean tones perfect for shimmering clarity. Channel 2 introduces a crunchy blues texture, while Channel 3 is your go-to for tight, aggressive metal sounds. Channel 4 rounds out the set with searing solos and high-gain capabilities, ensuring every musical style is at your fingertips.

Beyond its tonal versatility, the Diezel VH4 plug-in features 120 Brainworx-developed Recording Chains. These advanced impulse responses capture the essence of iconic cabinets, vintage microphones, and renowned outboard gear, including a classic Neve console. This means you can achieve professional, studio-quality sound directly from your digital audio workstation (DAW).

To further refine your sound, the plug-in includes a built-in FX rack. This powerhouse of features includes a power soak to push your overdrive without affecting output gain, a noise gate to eliminate feedback, and switchable high-pass and low-pass filters to manage rumble and hiss. Additionally, the Tight and Smooth amp filters allow for precise control over the lows and ultra-highs, offering a polished final tone.

Key Features:

  • Four preamp channels for versatile sound: Clean, Crunch, Metal, and Lead
  • 3-band EQ with Gain and Volume controls for each channel
  • Global Presence and Depth controls for high and low-frequency tailoring
  • 120 Brainworx-developed Recording Chains for authentic impulse responses
  • Built-in FX rack with power soak, noise gate, and customizable filters
