Diezel's new VH Micro Head packs the high-gain heat of the company's VH4 amp into a compact, lightweight package
By Jackson Maxwell about 8 hours ago
Weighing in at 4 pounds, the VH Micro boasts 30 watts of power, gain and volume knobs, a three-band EQ, and more


In recent months, we've seen the likes of Friedman and Bogner transfer the supercharged gain of some of their most beloved amps into compact, competitively-priced mini amp heads.


Now, Diezel has followed suit with the VH Micro guitar amp, which packs the high-gain glory of the company's famed, Adam Jones-favored VH4 – its third channel in particular – into a portable, four-pound package.


Packing 30 watts of power, the VH Micro, like its larger sibling, boasts gain and volume knobs, a three-band EQ – Bass, Middle and Treble – and Diezel's Deep and Presence knobs.


A series effects loop also comes aboard the rear of the amp, in addition to a pair of 8-16ohm speaker outputs.

The Diezel VH Micro amp runs on a 24V universal-voltage power-supply included with the amp, and is available now for $329.

Seems everyone is getting onto this mini-head game lately, but this is the first one that really has my attention.

yea, lately all amp makers been putting out small amps like this, well not all but good few..

Yeah, true. I find this interesting but to be honest, after decades of searching for the perfect practice rig I finally have it now, so this is probably surplus to the requirement.

Be cooler if they made this in the Herbert but the VH4 is awesome as well

For sure. I have early Metallica tones to spare with my Mark 5 in 2C+ mode.

I do want one either mesa or diezel or evh.

Thats the unique thing about the Mark5: basically 9 preamps in one, covering nearly all the Mark series from beginning to end. Neat design.

For the EVH: the Peavey 6505+ gets you nearly the same exact sound for about $1000 less. Its actually a just 5150 in disguise after Eddie left the company lol

Lol i had one of the original Peavey 5150s ( now the 6505). It was a very cool amp but not what youd think as far as being a metal amp. Its used by lots of metal guys but often front end boosted with an OD, because on its own its not as gainful as you'd imagine.

Precisely! Thats mostly Marshall's main history line all in one amplifier. Thats a neat concept

I played my buddy John’s and after no having a tube amp in 17 years and the first thing out of my mouth was I need to remember how I played with tubes, then I asked for some more gain, and I had wished I had brought the SD1.

Those OG Peavey 5150s sound really, really good goosed with a boost.
