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.

LEGIT!!!
They certainly nailed it with this one. Sounds and feels like the actual hardware. Aside from saving a few $K's, no need for an attenuator or concern with loud volumes (although Diezel gives you great tone at very low volume), anyhow, you get the point...just plug in and enjoy crystal cleans to as roaring as you want it, using closed, in-ear or studio monitors. Great Job!

Best Of The Greats ON The UAD Platform
This is IMO the best amp they have ,Versatile and bold, Easy to get a great sound no matter what you're going for. (except for a great "Chicken Pickin' Sound) Haven't found it yet But you can get lost in this thing so actually haven't tried yet.
BTW shout out to Brainworx!B. Stephens
Bulldozer guitar tones.
The Herbert is powerful and really satisfying for lots of different styles of music but excels in punishingly brutal tones of bulldozer like grandeur. In the box keeps sounding better and better. Thanks UAD for the great work! Keep it up.

Its. A. Herbert. Nuff said.
Can make totally crushing guitar tones with this thing, and thank goodness it doesn't involve a 150 watt amp sitting in the room with you. Way easier to lift the Arrow to get this sound, so I'm giddy with the types of sounds I can get. I can go from hair to prog to pumpkins to even a really nice clean which is not exactly what you think of with this tpe of amp.

Great Touch-Sensitive & Versatile Plugin!
I own most of the UAD guitar plugins (and many plugins from most other developers) and have to agree with my colleague's assessment -- this may be the single best (reasonably priced) guitar plugin available today. I find UAD plugins to be the most expressive and touch sensitive, and the Herbert raises the bar beyond the high standard set on the Fuchs plugins. Most astonishing is how versatile this plugin is -- I'll be recording a pretty diverse range of material today from jazz to rock to funk to country and I'm going to try using the Herbert for all of it. Sure a lot easier to move and mic than stacks of Fenders, Engles and Marshalls ... Thanks UA!

The best so far...
This is the best amp plugin I've tried so far... I really like the range of clean to wildly over-driven.
T. Jones
One of the best
I have a ton of amp sims, IK, Bias, Brainworx (native), UAD, Overloud, Waves, etc. This is among my top 3 favorite, along with UAD Marshall Silver and Nembrini BST100. I can get great clean, crunchy classic rock, southern rock sounds, and full on metal. Responds great to picking dynamics.

Fun to Play!
Great Clean, dirty and dirtier...

Very usable plug in.
What impresses me most is how versatile this amp can be. From heavy crushing metal to beautiful clean tones. Cabinet/mic choices are great as well. Very usable plug in.

My favourite of all the uad amp sims
I Love channel 2 on the uad Diezel Herbert. My former studio partner had a Diezel Herbert with the matching 4x12” in our studio for about 3 years, and this is pretty damn spot-on! It does the Adam jones / Tool thing very well, and the Weezer Rivers Cuomo thing well. Four stars from me. My only complaint is that I want to be able to patch a footswitch into my Apollo so I can use it live and actually use all 3 of the channels in real time.

It’s everything I needed it to be.
I bought this to match some Metallica tones from the newer albums. And it’s spot on with some tweaking. The Mesa cabs are an awesome addition as well. Not much overhead on the pre amp but using the power soak saves your headroom. Get it!! It replaced my current amp sim - Bias.
