Pristine to Punishing
A contemporary tube amp if there ever was one, the Diezel Herbert plug-in thoroughly captures the hardware's cutting-edge circuit. From impossible-to-distort piano-like clean tones to searing early-VH textures, to absolutely groundbreaking extreme high-gain tones, the Diezel Herbert plug-in is the one-stop-shop for tracking bold, modern guitar tracks.
Diezel FX Rack
The Diezel Herbert plug-in offers additional control over your tones via the Brainworx FX Rack. It features a Noise Gate, switchable high and low-pass filters, and a Power Soak circuit that allows you to dial in as much overdrive as you want, without having to crank the output gain.
The Diezel Herbert also includes 120 impulse response Recording Chains that were perfectly captured from several boutique cabinets and recorded through Brainworx's vintage Neve console with an array of high-end and vintage microphones and outboard gear, giving you "record ready" tones, instantly.
Unison™ Technology for UA Audio Interfaces
Harnessing UA’s groundbreaking Unison technology, the Diezel Herbert plug-in gives you the impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviors that have contributed to making it the "King of Kings" in the world of modern tube amps.

Don't Buy it until they fix the BUG!
The sound is pretty good, but it has catastrophic bug.
Simply, when you have 5 and more instances running in one project, it starts to introduce SIGNIFICANT amount of playback delay which is abnormal especially compared to other UAD amp sim or third party plugin like Amplitube or Archetype, etc.A. Monov

Great Plug-in as usual.

Good for funky clean tones
I found some good low gain settings for funky blues rhythm guitar parts. I never intended to buy this plugin but once I demo'd it in Unison mode I have been using it continuously on several releases. It sounds like a real tube amp.

Excellent Tone
I think this is the greatest digital amp I’ve ever heard. I use the Herbert plug with my own IR’s and I can’t tell a difference between mic’d cab and the plug-in. It’s truly so incredible, that I don’t even want to buy the actual hardware amp. Well done!

My Fav New UAD Amp
I have almost all of the UAD amps and they are really good!
However this one I REALLY love. It’s heavy tones are amazing but it’s also versatile w clean and crunch style that are awesome as well.
Lastly the presets are really good. The Creamy Lead is beautiful!
Super happy with this purchase.C. Santillo

Really great sound!
I purchased this plugin back in July and I can say that I really love the sound, what I can achieve with it. Highly recommend!

The high gain I selected (after auditioning all of them)
I had a VH-4 for a few years. Sounded great. Weighed a TON. But that amp sold me on Diezel. Never needed to hear the Herbert, since "I knew the VH-4". Checked the UA model of the VH-4. Yup, that's my amp. Then, tried the Herbert and... I don't know. It was just better. To me. Fender '55, Fuchs ODSD and this amp have me covered for anything I could want.

Thanks UA for this plugin. I was after the Alter Bridge type guitar sound for some songs I'm working on and this plugin was exactly what I needed.

Sounds incredible!
Go ahead and buy it. You know you want to!
