Chapter Four: Two (and a half) Pre-Amplifiers
4.1 Pre-Amplifiers and their Jobs
The Diezel Schmidt comes equipped with 2 different and totally independent
preamps each with its own Reverb pot. This allows the artist to play through nearly
all musical-styles without having to make major changes to his/her amplifier. The
preamps are voiced to deliver the most wanted guitar tone flavors: Clean, Crunch,
Heavy, Lead. This design concept delivers stellar guitar sounds with excellent
playability, warm dynamics and razor sharp equalization possibilities. The tone
controls work in an unusually wide range, so a little adjustment does quite a lot. As
with so many things, less is often more. We suggest you start exploring the
channels with all controls set to 12:00 o’clock, and the channel volume just slightly
cracked open. (To avoid hearing damage)
4.1.1 Channel One (low to medium gain)
Clean Tone is a very sensitive subject, because there are so many different ideas
on how a clean amp should sound like. Clean tonal textures require much higher
dynamic range than distorted sounds. From hard and percussive sounds to soft,
warm, and blossoming tone. Schmidt was designed to offer as many of the clean
varieties as possible. Your choice of guitars and pickups will have a large part in
this equation. The more you crank the volume of this channel, the more you will
add poweramp warmth to your sound.

4.1.2 Channel Two (crunch, heavy)
This channel is voiced for single notes, or for heavier rhythm guitar. Due to its
slight midrange accent and very high gain, it possesses a good punch, will play with
ease, and gain authority to rule any stage, or studio. The“less is often more” rule
applies here also.
Channel three shares the reverb and equalizing section with channel 2, it has
separate gain and volume pots to carry the player from channel 2’s crunchy
spectrum into more singing leads.
