FM3/FM9/AXE-FX III patch based on Diezel VH4 Blue Face amplifier

The Diezel VH4 Blueface is a highly coveted amplifier, renowned for its distinctive tone and rarity. Originally introduced in the mid-1990s, the Blueface variant of the VH4 has garnered a legendary status among guitarists.

The power output is equal to 100 watts and the power section is typically equipped with 4x 6L6 tubes. This is not widespread knowledge but early Blueface models featured 8 preamp tubes, whereas later versions reduced this to 7.

Although Diezel has released reissues and other variants of the VH4, the specific Blueface model remains a rare find on the used market and is no longer in production. Due to its rarity and esteemed reputation, the Diezel VH4 Blueface commands high prices on the second-hand market. Prices can vary significantly based on condition and provenance, but they often reflect the amp's collectible status.One of the most popular users of the Diezel VH4 Blueface is Adam Jones of Tool. His use of the amp has significantly contributed to its legendary status among guitarists seeking similar tonal characteristics.

In our Gymtar patch, you'll find the first version with a darker sound than the Silver variant. To counterbalance this, we designed the patch with a high value of the presence control. If
your instrumentation is still doo dark, there is still a wide margin to act on the controls of medium and high frequencies.
