Diezel Zerrer

[RockinRollur]

Hi. My first post here. Not good at intros so I will just proceed with my inquiry. Do you own a Zerrer? I acquired a Diezel Zerrer kind of an impulse. This is not my first Diezel but it is my first integrated preamp device. Originally I went to buy an Axe FX II but things changed because I really only need one good amp sound. Specifically, do you use it as an overdrive at the input or as a preamp on the amps power section? How does it compare to Fractal? Thanks for your input.

Ah yes I have seen that one. Good video. One of the contributors on Soundcloud has done some clips. Have you heard them? Also you can hear audio bits in this German review on the bottom link. What do you think?

Welcome to the forum! Sorry ya havent got many replies, but there isnt much Diezel talk round here. I cant speak for the whole US, but I know in my neck of the woods, you dont see them. Not sure if its limited distrubution or cuz we are ghetto and those cost big $$. (Probably the latter) Id never even heard of the Zerrer til you posted.

Re: Diezel Zerrer

Yes I do admit that it's kind of a shock no one on this forum seems to have one. Having used it for three days I can confidently recommend it. They cost only $799. Little people can afford a basic Diezel amp without going into debt or selling a major organ LOL. It's all solid state but it plays in hand exactly like a VH4. Even the almighty Axe FX sounds artificial beside it except you only get two channels and no FX. It even works as an overdrive pedal. It looks underwhelming I think but the innovation is inside because you won't believe it does not have a tube! It's very basic but a flexible channel design of what sounds to me most like a Herbert overdrive and a VH4 on the clean side. I hope it will catch on because it's all Diezel without the 100 watt overkill.

Re: Diezel Zerrer

That's what I was saying in my post. It's worth the $800 because it's a Diezel amp minus the power tubes. It sounds great, all analog, not a modeler or processor at all. To me $800 is too much for a Mexican made Fender amp, but for a Diezel it's a great price.
