Chapter Six: Functions and Switches
6.1 Programming the Herbert
It is quite easy to program your Diezel Herbert and, also, easy to explain. Pushing the
“Store” toggle switch twice must follow each change in the MIDI program. After the first
click, the selected blue LED lights will blink. Click on the switch again and your program is in
memory. Each of the 128 programs (patches, program changes) can be changed as often as
is desired.
6.2 Manual Channel Selection
The 3 channels of the Herbert can be selected manually by activating the red button above
each channel strip, or can be programmed via the midi control system. If you assign the
Channel one switch function to a MIDI program (for example “01”), then you can initiate
this channel’s switching via your MIDI pedal. Push “01” on your MIDI pedal after
programming, and the pedal will send digital information to the amplifier. The amp will read
this information and decide whether or not it is supposed to respond. When properly
programmed, it will then switch on channel one.
OK, here it is again:
Select 01 on your MIDI pedal. Select channel one of the Herbert. Now push “Store” twice.
Voila, it’s a MIDI program! Now select program change “02” on your pedal, switch the amp
to channel two, hit “Store” twice, and suddenly you have a MIDI pedal controller with 2
program changes. Continue on until you run out of channels, about 1 more time.
All the other functions of the amp can be programmed in the same exact way. Remember:
push “Store” twice to finalize a MIDI program procedure. Select the program on the pedal
to recall the setting from the amp.
