Hi, I'm John Browne. No. Not that guy but this is my real name.
I'm an engineer by day and hopeless gear addict by night.

The Dickbutt Plectrum is custom Winspear Plectrum www.winspearinstrumental.com

In this video, I compare my Synergy Diezel Herbert module to my 180w monster Diezel Herbert mk II. I want to find out if the module can hang with the legendary amp it is based on.

I used an Ibanez RGAIX6FMABC123ACDC5150WTFLMAFO loaded with Dimarzio Titans in drop C for this. For part 2, I switched back and forth using a Radial Engineering Valve-Tube Head Switcher (don’t buy one) which went into my Two Notes Torpedo Live loadbox with a GGD Studio Cali Cab IR.
When boosted, the amps were boosted with a Deadweald Duality DX in green mode (tubescreamer) with gain at 0 and tone and volume just over half way up.

Here are some time stamps to help you navigate:
