The Diezel Hagen is a 100-watt all-tube amplifier head from Diezel Amplification with four independent channels — Clean, Crunch, Lead, and Ultra — providing the most comprehensive gain staging available in the Diezel line. Built in Germany to Diezel exacting standards, each channel has its own EQ section and character. The Hagen extends the three-channel Herbert concept with an additional Ultra channel for players who require extreme high-gain performance beyond the standard lead channel range.
